Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that the first attacks on the city in weeks had indeed taken place, after explosions were heard overnight. Klitschko said missiles had hit unspecified infrastructure targets but caused no deaths. The attack comes just as life in Kyiv had begun to resemble a kind of normality, after Russia decided to concentrate its forces in the east.

Meanwhile, fighting continues in Donbas. Counterattacks carried out by Ukrainian forces in the eastern city of Sievierodonetsk might be negating some of the advances made by attacking Russian troops, Britain's Ministry of Defence has said in an intelligence update.

The governor of the Luhansk region, Serhiy Haidai, said on Ukrainian television on Sunday that the city was now divided in half between Ukrainian and Russian forces after Russian troops were forced back from some areas they previously held.

2. Less training, more delivery

While it's really nice to have the leisure to offer two solid weeks of training on a system, this really needs to be compressed into a shorter period. Moving the stuff forward is also problematic. Small items like the Switchblade and some drones can be shipped by container freight, but heavy artillery pieces are pretty obvious from the air.

I'm not surprised the rocket attacks on Kyiv were not as destructive as former attacks. Their targeting systems suck and so does their intelligence. Likely what they were aiming at was moved weeks ago.
