Russia Targets Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles

 

Business Insider: The huge missile barrage on Ukraine that Russia has been saving up for seems to have begun 

* Analysts have long said Russia was keeping missiles and bombs in reserve for winter. 

* Winter is here — and a Russian barrage has begun right on cue. 

* The UK MOD said Russia's heavy bomber fleet has been active. 

Its target is likely Ukraine's energy network. Russia appears to have started a major bombing campaign on Ukraine after holding back for months to build its stockpiles. 

The UK Ministry of Defence said on Sunday that a cruise missile attack last Thursday was "probably the start of a more concerted campaign by Russia aimed at degrading Ukraine's energy infrastructure."
