I would wager the targets were power plants. Russia has been suffering a record setting fall for cold and snow. It looks like that extreme cold dips into Ukraine by the end of the week.
Smart move doing it all at once. Like attacking an aircraft carrier and it's ADA bubble. Swarm and overwhelm. You make complete ADA coverage almost impossible that way.
Something will make it through using such a method.

This supposed attack is all Lies and horrible lies of the reactionary enemy!!
This attack shows the inevitable impotence and Russia to affect outcomes on the field of battle.
This attack does nothing but to strengthen the resolve and determination of th Ukrainian people.
SLAVA!
We know that nothing was hit but orphanages, hospitals and houses with baby sitters.
These dastardly crimes will never be forgotten.
Our brave anti missile troops shot down 98% of all enemy aircraft and rockets!!

Our glorious leadership, with its resolute vision continues to ensure all funds from the West are fairly distributed. Corruption and theft have been totally eradicated for our beloved nation.
We shall ever be victorious
Our victories in Krynky, Robotnye and Adeevka will show the world that we are unyielding and ever victorious. The ceremonies of remembrance for our glorious hundreds of thousands of dead act as a beacon of light for new recruits to follow.

I can't help but think how this is rather pathetic considering what we did to Iraq during desert storm in the initial wave. We rocked their world. This pales in comparison.
Yep, that's all you got ...
Said this last year.
It is puzzling that the Russians have not used the full force of their military in this war.
Where are the saturation bombings of major cities and field units?
Where 100 tube artillery barrages pummeling the enemy for minutes on end and then the tank forces attacking into the arty just as the firing stops. ( danger close attacks.).????? Thereby not letting the enemy even time to recover from blast waves and shell shock.
Where is the use of MOABS to completely decimate enemy unit defenses and allow for break throughs by opening axis of advances?
(after the above)
Where is the attacks of 100s of tanks and vehicles across open spaces?
Where are the airborne assaults?
Where are the SF raids deep into enemy territory?
Where is the overall supperession of electroninc and electrical capability? That is, Why is ukraine not totally blacked out and how is it they even still have radio or TV?
That is the short list.
A lot of stuff in this war does not make sense.
You heard it on this blog first.
It is puzzling.
Ukraine has shown Ivan was a figment of reality based on WWII. This image was based on the loss of millions of Russians and others, and immeasurable amounts of war materials transported to Russia by the rest of the world.
Update, Russia got spanked back 29/12
The airborne assaults got hammered on day 1 at the airfield , and their paratroopers have been decimated.
Hundreds of tanks were destroyed on the way to Kiev. Special forces raids have been conducted by both sides .
Yep, a inbred defanged bear cub at best
There are no dishwashers and washing machines left in Russia now.
Soon, Russia will run out of everything, like toilet paper and socks.
Then, it will be time for the Ukrainian counter-offensive to retake Moscow.
