After recently focusing their efforts on Ukraine’s east, Russian forces have launched airstrikes on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv for the first time in more than a month. Russia’s Defense Ministry said they’ve destroyed tanks provided by Europe, but Ukraine says that’s a fib. The latest attack came as Russian President Vladimir Putin lashed out at the uptick in Western arms deliveries to Ukraine, saying it will see Russia “strike at those objects that we haven’t yet struck”. While the US has stopped short of providing Ukraine with long-range missiles, the UK will become the first nation to do so despite Putin’s threats. Analysts say it marks a significant shift in the West’s approach to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian forces are close to capturing the entire Luhansk region in the country’s east. Top officials say the fight to hold onto control of Severodonetsk has turned it into the “hottest” area of the entire conflict.
