Russia killed two people in an airstrike on the central Ukrainian city of Poltava on Thursday and damaged a military draft office there in what Kyiv said was a concerted campaign to disrupt recruitment for its war effort.

As reported by Ukrinform, an air raid alert was declared in Kyiv for the second time in a day due to the threat of drones. Air defense forces are operating in Kyiv. Earlier, air raid alerts were declared in a number of regions.

For months the talk in Kyiv was of a much-anticipated Russian offensive that would aim to gobble up more of Ukraine’s eastern regions. So far, it’s been underwhelming – but the Russians have made some gains and vastly reinforced their troop numbers in some areas.
