(2/4) Russian forces are continuing to encircle a number of cities across eastern Ukraine.
(3/4) Over the past week Russian forces have made limited progress in capturing these cities; instead, Russia has increased its indiscriminate shelling of urban areas resulting in widespread destruction and large numbers of civilian casualties.
(4/4) It is likely Russia will continue to use its heavy firepower to support assaults on urban areas as it looks to limit its own already considerable losses, at the cost of further civilian casualties.

Russia has claimed that it has fired a number of β€œhypersonic” missiles against targets in western Ukraine.
Post 2 of 4
If true, these were likely the Kinzhal; an air launched ballistic missile system based on the Iskander ballistic missile which has itself already been heavily used by Russian forces in their attack on Ukraine.
