Russia bombs Kyiv for 5th day with missile-like drones: Putin's plan before 'NATO hits Kaliningrad'?

Russia has continued a heavy aerial campaign against Kyiv, with Russian drones and missiles striking Ukraine amid another intense wave of attacks. Recent strikes have included advanced and jet-powered drones, while Kyiv’s air defences remain under pressure from sustained Russian barrages. The latest escalation comes as Moscow faces growing scrutiny over its military posture toward NATO and the strategic importance of Kaliningrad. However, NATO has said it does not currently see an imminent threat of a direct Russian attack on alliance territory.
