I'm surprised that they got as far as Kyiv.

There's a lot we don't know about the plans to get weapons into Ukraine and the Russians' ability to observe and destroy them.

I'm surprised that they got as far as Kyiv.

There's a lot we don't know about the plans to get weapons into Ukraine and the Russians' ability to observe and destroy them.

One thing's for sure: Don't take what the Russians or Ukrainians say as gospel.

Right. The realities are obscured. The heavy propaganda bias in favor of the Zelenskies is due to the western censorship of the Russian media.
However, al Jazeera manages what appears to be a balanced coverage.

You can tell that it's hard-hitting by the number of its journalists that the Israeli filth murder.

Russia targets western-supplied tanks in first Kyiv airstrikes for five weeks
One person injured as Putin warns of more strikes if western weapons deliveries continue

Russia launched airstrikes on Kyiv for the first time in five weeks on Sunday, claiming it had destroyed western-supplied tanks – while the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, warned more targets would be struck if weapons deliveries continued.

Several explosions were heard around the eastern Kyiv suburbs of Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi early on Sunday morning, wounding one person. The strikes represented a change of tack on the part of the invading forces.

Russia’s ministry of defence said the strikes had destroyed T-72 tanks that had been provided to Ukraine by European countries that were being stored in the buildings of a car repair business, although the claim could not immediately be verified.

Perhaps signalling the new approach, Putin told Rossiya state television that Russia would hit fresh targets in Ukraine if the US delivered the longer-range rockets that it had promised to Kyiv last week.

If such missiles were supplied, “we will strike at those targets which we have not yet been hitting”, said Putin, who is believed to be closely involved in military decision-making. The Russian leader did not specify what would be struck, although logistics points would be amongst the most logical targets.

Sometimes , however, you sort of know who's telling the truth.

Russia’s defence ministry says Russian strikes destroyed tanks and other armoured vehicles on the outskirts of Kyiv that had been provided to Ukraine by European countries.
President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia will strike new targets if the US starts supplying Ukraine with longer-range missiles.

The tank manufacturers must be planning their new super-yachts.

must have been rockets. I dont think Russian air could do it (SAM), but that's a guess
and so escalation begats escalation
