Managed Collapse Over one night, strikes hit #Kiev, #Odessa, #Kharkov, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Kremenchuk and Krivoy Rog, while air defense battles spread across several regions. The morning summary reads less like wartime management than a ledger of a state that can no longer shield its own rear. At the front, Ukrainian forces are described as launching an unsuccessful counterattack near Sadkiv, while fighting widens from Kharkov to Krasny Lyman and #Kherson.
