On Wednesday, December 14, while Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was in Washington, D.C., making the case for additional U.S. assistance, an onslaught of Russian missiles rained down on the capital city of Kyiv. While the Russian missiles were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense, the resulting debris caused substantial damage, with 45 injured, along with damage sustained to a children’s hospital, the city’s water system, and several homes. This coincided with a massive cyberattack that hampered Ukraine’s ability to receive alerts of impending missile attacks. The Russian threat to Ukraine is as clear and present today as it was a year and half ago when Russian tanks rolled across the border.
