Russia strikes Kiev with ballistic missiles; Ukraine interceptors depleted, ceasefire not in sight

Russia launched ballistic missile strikes on Kiev, with Ukraine reportedly running low on interceptor missiles and potentially missing crucial US intelligence support. The attacks target energy infrastructure, increasing pressure on Zelenskyy to negotiate, but a senior Austrian military analyst states a ceasefire is not foreseeable. This marks a continuation of Russia's campaign against Ukrainian cities and energy grid, with the new element being Ukraine's reported interceptor shortage, which could degrade its air defense capability.
