#Russian Missile Attacks

For many, it’s hard to imagine what life is like in a city under rocket fire. But for millions in Kyiv, it’s getting harder to imagine what life in a peaceful city used to feel like. Through the adaptation Russia’s war has forced on Kyiv, people have learned not just to endure but, at times, to live and even thrive under the hardest of circumstances.

Media outlets often frame Russia’s June attacks as revenge for Operation Spider Web, in which Ukraine destroyed dozens of Moscow’s strategic bomber jets. But this claim doesn’t hold up against the data: Kremlin orders missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities every single day , steadily growing in scale.
