Moscow Threatens Kyiv with Systematic Strikes After Massive Rocket Attack

Russia has threatened Ukraine with systematic strikes following what Moscow claims was an overflowing of its patience with Kyiv. The warning came after Russia launched a massive rocket attack on the Ukrainian capital that defense analysts estimate may have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to execute. Ukrainian officials dismissed the Russian threats as an act of desperation, suggesting Moscow's increasingly aggressive rhetoric reflects its deteriorating military position in the ongoing conflict that began with Russia's invasion in February 2022.
