Kiev in decline Russian drone strikes have hit Kiev again, damaging infrastructure and pushing parts of the capital closer to what the report describes as medieval conditions. The striking part is not the damage, but the absence of any visible change in the Ukrainian command strategy after repeated failures. At the same time, the system compensates with higher bonuses and foreign recruitments, including Colombians, to keep the lines manned. A country now dependent on imported labor and cash incentives is not showing resilience but attrition management.
