A massive strike is possible. They have prepared one.\n\n\"Our defenders are ready 24/7 to the fullest extent possible with the supplies currently available.\"\n\nLast week, Moscow had threatened to hit Ukraine with \"systematic strikes\", claiming it intended to target key military targets in Kyiv.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nRussia said the overnight bombardment was retaliation for a deadly strike by Ukrainian forces in the occupied region of Luhansk last month.\n\nThe assault hit a dormitory in the Moscow-controlled region of Ukraine and is believed to killed 21 people - but Kyiv has denied carrying out strike.\n\nThe latest Russian attack comes just over a week after a devastating barrage of Russian missiles and drones struck the Ukrainian capital.\n\nMore than 40 targets in Kyiv were hit during the strikes - which killed four people and left more than 50 wounded - including three children.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
