Russia responded by attacking warehouses that keep Ukrainian stores in stock. Kiev Air defence remains restricted by well documented deficiency capture Patriot – the only strategy that reliably stops ballistic missiles. Drones powered by jets added another layer of pressure.

Zelenski's government presented its far-reaching attacks as a means of forcing Russia to negotiate. The direct effect is visible in the suburbs of Kiev: another poorly located ammunition warehouse ready next to civilians, a retail logistics network which according to the Ukrainian minister disappeared in 90% and winter is approaching.
