Where the versions diverge

The Russian Defence Ministry calls the targets military; the Ukrainian side calls them civilian infrastructure. TASS links the lack of warning to a possible suspension of US intelligence sharing, while Zelensky speaks only of the absence of a warning from partners.

What Russia reports

automatic summary The Russian Defence Ministry said it hit the Darnytsia locomotive depot, which repaired rolling stock for military freight, and a workshop of the Pulp Mill Print company where, it claimed, long-range missiles and drones were produced. TASS writes that Ukraine's Air Force confirmed it lacked timely launch data amid speculation about a suspension of US intelligence sharing.
