Fifteen cities plus smaller towns in Ukraine have had their infrastructure damaged in Russian strikes today. The EU advisory mission in Kiev was also hit. The best current account is on sourhfront.org — https://southfront.org/russia-starts-to-fight-for-real-overview-of-strikes-in-ukraine/
Southfront reports: “RUSSIA STARTS TO FIGHT FOR-REAL,” but more likely it is a wrist slap for Ukraine’s attack on the Crimea bridge. If the Kremlin saw these strikes as part of the war, the strikes would continue and intensify until Ukraine was begging on its knees to surrender. As of this time, there is no indication that the Kremlin intends to do what it needs to do and bring the conflict to an end before it widens into all out conflict with the West.
