In the predawn hours of a Saturday in Kyiv, Russian ballistic missiles once again found their mark — killing three, wounding five, and collapsing part of a building where survivors waited in the dark. The attack arrived against a backdrop of diplomatic retreat: the United States, once signaling it would help Ukraine manufacture its own Patriot interceptors, stepped back from that promise, while a Ukrainian request to use Starlink for strikes inside Russia went unanswered. War, as it so often does, exposed the distance between what is pledged and what is delivered.
