In the early hours of a Thursday morning, Russia launched a coordinated ballistic missile assault across Ukraine — striking Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Lviv — killing at least seven people, among them two young girls sheltering in their home. President Zelenskyy had foreseen the attack and warned of it hours before impact, framing the tragedy not only as an act of war but as a consequence of delayed Western support. The strikes remind a watching world that the distance between a warning and a wound can be measured in the time it takes an ally to decide.
