“Kyiv would have been flattened by strategic bombing long ago.”
Except we all know that’s not true, because the Russians are afraid to fly over Ukrainian airspace and lose more of their planes to Uke air defense.
Russia has already demonstrated its ability to strike anywhere it wants to in Ukraine, including the leveling of a NATO training center filled with hundreds of foreign fighters just a few klm from the Polish border.
There is no defense for these missiles in Kiev or the collective West.
