“Russia unleashed a lethal barrage of strikes against multiple Ukrainian cities Monday, smashing civilian targets including downtown Kyiv where at least eight people were killed,” the AP reports.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin said the strikes were retaliation for what he called Kyiv’s ‘terrorist’ actions, including an attack last weekend on a key bridge between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula that is prized by the Kremlin.”
“The intense, hours-long attack marked a sudden military escalation by Moscow.”
