Russia's Ballistic Missile Attack on Kharkiv
🎦 00:12-03:10⏩
- Russia retaliated for Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian soil with a massive ballistic missile attack on Kharkiv.
- A dozen Iskander missiles and S-300s (surface-to-air missiles used in ground attack mode) hit the city, impossible to shoot down due to their proximity to the border and ballistic trajectory.
- Reports suggest aerial guided glide bombs might also have been used.
- The attack targeted civilian areas, including a sports facility and residential areas, making it the largest ballistic attack on Kharkiv yet.
- Jonathan highlights the difference in targets, emphasizing that Ukraine struck strategically important infrastructure, not civilians, while Russia directly targeted civilians in this attack.
- He quotes several sources, including JNK, Ewan McDonald, and the Kyiv Post, condemning the attacks on civilians.
- Jonathan notes that these attacks are a direct result of the Biden administration's continued prevention of Ukraine from effectively striking Russian airbases and missile launch sites.
- He points out that Ukraine is forbidden by its allies from striking Russian launch sites and airfields with Western weapons.
- This attack is the most significant on Kharkiv so far, and Jonathan speculates whether Russia will continue these attacks with increased frequency.
International Response and Potential Escalation
🎦 03:10-04:33⏩
- Jonathan questions the international reaction to the attack and the potential for escalation.
- He discusses the complex political implications, questioning whether allowing Ukraine to retaliate with Western weapons against targets within Russia would be seen as sanctioning attacks on Russian infrastructure.
- He speculates that the Biden administration might react by giving Ukraine greater military capabilities without permitting the use of long-range weapons like Storm Shadows to strike deep into Russian territory.
- Jonathan condemns the attack on Kharkiv, labeling it heinous and a clear attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure, unlike Ukraine's strategic targeting.
Wrap Up
