CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.55
Russia's attack killed five and injured 26 in Kyiv region; Odesa also hit with at least one injured.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because Russia has resumed hitting Ukraine's grid substations heading into a war-strained year and just opened a new front across the Oskil river near Kupiansk, threatening both civilian heat and a fresh Ukrainian defensive collapse.
