#1 Do we know what the actual target in Kiev was? Some half-assed searching turns up an apartment building/shopping mall/residential neighborhood.

Kiev has been pretty much left alone since that business back at the start. It is possible that the Rus are just being jerks or are reminding the G7 that there is a war on, but it seems unlikely that they would expense precious long-range ordnance to no military purpose.

My guess is some high-value target of opportunity
popped up, like those fancy new artillery pieces, and either said target or the rail infrastructure transporting it got waxed.
