On Wednesday, Russia launched missiles deep into Ukraine targeting the capital, Kyiv, and a northeastern border area. This ends an over two-month long pause in attacks on the country’s capital. The attacks were intended to support Russia’s presence on the eastern front, additionally targeting a Ukrainian captured area near the northern border. The 73-day pause in Russia’s launching of weapons towards the capital was highly unusual. This has led to speculation that Russia is stockpiling missiles for use after freezing weather began.
