For The First Time In Weeks, Russian Missiles Strike Kyiv

 

Axios: Russian forces strike Kyiv for first time in weeks 

Russian missiles struck Kyiv on Sunday for the first time since late April, destroying tanks donated from abroad, Reuters reported. 

Driving the news: The strikes interrupted the sense of normality that had returned in Kyiv since Russian forces were forced out of the capital. 

* The strikes were carried out using "long-range air-launched missiles fired from heavy bombers as far away as the Caspian Sea," Reuters reported, underscoring the sophistication of Russia's weaponry. 

* The strikes also targeted railway facilities and other infrastructure in Kyiv, AP reported.  

The big picture: Russian President Vladimir Putin warned against international weapons donations to Ukraine on Sunday, saying that if the U.S. were to provide longer-range missiles as planned, Russia would strike new targets in Ukraine.
