Any air strikes in western ukraine since the beginning of this operation 16 days ago. its just that we havent seen that as a routine matter. now you got two in one day. thats notable. what it means, what it portends, where the russians are going with this we dont really know. we believe the targets were airfields. so from a military perspective, you can see a certain logical sense there to deny the ukrainians the ability to use some air strips in the west part of the country. by and large and by...
