## Resource

Russia’s threatening “systematic strikes” on Kyiv, but locals say it’s just more of the same brutal war they’ve endured since day one. A recent massive bombardment killed three and injured over ninety, adding to the toll after a May 14 strike that killed twenty-four civilians. Russia claims retaliation for Ukraine’s drone strikes on a Luhansk unit, while Kyiv counters by targeting Russian oil, gas, and military hubs to cripple their war machine. Experts doubt Russia can sustain such large-scale attacks, suggesting the threats are more bluff than battle plan. Still, Kyiv residents remain defiant, routinely heading to shelters as sirens blare — resilient, unshaken, and determined to stay.
