一句话看懂
Russia plans to escalate ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, per Kremlin sources. Escalation risks nuclear use as talks deadlock.
背景
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged intensifying drone and missile strikes far beyond front lines in recent weeks. Russia sees peace negotiations as at a dead end and is considering escalating conventional ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv and other cities, exploiting Ukraine's shortage of Patriot interceptors. The civilian death toll in Ukraine in 2026 has risen to its highest level since early in the war, driven by long-range Russian attacks on urban centers.
