Uh, this is missing bombings in several Ukrainian cities, not least Kiyv, Lviv, ~Donbas~ Donetsk.


Nit: Donbas is not a city, the city is Donetsk, and Donbas is the name of the region around it, from "Donetsk (coal) basin".

Lviv is a city very close to the border with Poland, a NATO member.


No military expert but it looks like they are following a pretty standard strategy of targeting and destroying air power throughout the country by bombing airports, radars, and air force facilities in general.

How far will their ground troops then go? We shall see...


No doubt the Russian strategy will be to establish a strong presence on the western side of the Dnieper.


It maps troop movements, though. All of those initial bombings have happened from Russia, Crimea and Belarus.

Apparently this phase won't last long because it can't (Russia according to analysts in the Guardian doesn't have many guided munitions in this range).

So we will perhaps see this map change very quickly as troops move in.
