To know why it is significant, you have to understand how they work: they are not precise missiles and they don't have to be - in the vastness of open sea a ship is one huge metal target such type of missiles easily "see" and they target it precisely.

When put to use on a city, however, these missiles get "confused" by all the "noise" the objects of the city give off.

Its how they are designed to work.

In other words, throwing these missiles at Kyiv in huge numbers, Russians are consciously just trying to randomly blow up anything and everything in the city, just madly destroying as much of the city as they can.

They are not "precise-targeting" some factory or other such facility. They are just throwing a dumb bomb at the general circle of the city centre not caring what it hits, just wanting to cause death abd destruction.

And yeah, using these type of missiles on a city is considered a war crime by every international convention possible.

All of this in one day (the biggest attack occured at night).

russians hitting important cultural buildings is nothing new, they destroyed countless of churches and museums, but this night feels like they were targeting specifically everything significant to ukrainian culture and identity. And after that they and their supporters dare to say "where's your culture? you have none".

Art and culture is NEVER out of politics. THIS is why we're so mad when westerners keep praising anything related to russian culture itself. While people are praising their culture, russians are actively stealing and destroying ours.

Having sleepless nights while you hear the sounds of explosions and pray the missile or drone won't hit your house IS NOT OKAY

Having a job in the morning, feeling exhausted, and pretending you're fine and not just survived one of the worst russian air attacks IS NOT OKAY
