"Strategic target" in Kremlin-speak means a restaurant where people were eating dinner. Same overnight wave hit apartment blocks too. The city itself is the target list, and that has been true since 2022.

Biden's team feared escalation more than invasion. So the deterrent came after the damage, when sanctions can punish but not prevent. Preemptive means Moscow pays the price before the first missile flies, not after Kharkiv is hit.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky: But President Biden said, "We'll impose sanctions if there's an invasion." Postfactum, not preemptive sanctions. I'm not God to judge a president, but I believe that was a mistake.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky: We asked the Americans: If you believe this is war, then give us weapons urgently, everything you can give. But nobody would give anything. I asked President Biden: Impose sanctions on Russia now, preemptively. If you know there could be an invasion, impose sanctions.
So, word on the street is that news is dropping tomorrow about a sitting U.S. senator getting caught paying male escorts. It's supposedly dropping in the late morning. A number of media folks claim to be in the know. I guess we'll see where this goes.
🇺🇦‼️ Zelensky: Either way, Trump's presidency would have ended, and Putin still wouldn't have changed his main goal — the occupation of Ukraine. So I think, honestly, it doesn't matter who the president is as long as Putin is there.
🇺🇦‼️ Zelensky: I think Trump had a special relationship with Putin, and still does. Maybe it really is possible that Trump being on friendly terms with Putin could have prevented a full-scale invasion. But one thing you know for sure: neither I nor Trump are eternal in these presidential seats.

He could have gone abroad. Instead, he told his mother: "I'm going home" and on February 25 he was already standing at the military registration and enlistment office. Vladislav Saparov had a ticket to a safe life, but he chose the trenches. He was born in 1999 in the Zhytomyr region.
Він міг виїхати за кордон. Натомість сказав мамі: "Я їду додому" - і 25 лютого вже стояв у військкоматі. Владислав Сапаров мав квиток у безпечне життя - а обрав окоп. Він народився у 1999-му на Житомирщині, ріс допитливим хлопчиком, який навчився читати ще до школи. Вічна памʼять!
PUTIN THE “HUMANITARIAN” This is how Putin prepares for winter, destroying the power and heating that civilians depend on. Families, children left facing the cold and darkness.
