At least nine people were killed and dozens injured when 27 Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv early Saturday.

Kyiv is now seeking to hit infrastructure inside Russia as it tries to take the war to the other side. The report examines the overnight damage, exhaustion and protests in Ukraine, the shortage of Patriot ammunition, and whether Russia knows the limits of Ukrainian air defense.
