Ukraine's Interior Ministry has no information about Russia's possible plans to attack Kyiv. This was stated by the ministry's spokesperson Mariana Reva, commenting on media reports. At the same time, the ministry emphasises that the threat of Russian shelling remains real.
Interior Ministry has no data on attack on Kyiv
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has not received any information that would indicate Russia's alleged plans to attack Kyiv. This was reported by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Internal Affairs Mariana Reva, commenting on recent media reports about the possible shelling of the capital. According to her, such information does not fall within the competence of the Ministry, and citizens should only rely on official reports from government agencies.
According to information spread in the media, rumours of a possible shelling of Kyiv have been circulating in the public. The Ministry of Internal Affairs urges people not to trust unverified sources and not to panic.
MIA's position on the threat
Reva emphasised that the Ministry has no authority to collect or analyse such intelligence. She stressed that Ukrainians should only receive information about security threats from official sources. This applies to both reports of possible attacks and recommendations for action during air alerts.
At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs notes that the threat of shelling by the Russian Federation is still a relevant issue. This is especially true for missile attacks and the use of drones, which Russia uses against Ukrainian cities.
Don't ignore airborne alarms
The Ministry of Internal Affairs reminds us that air raid warnings should never be ignored. Even in the absence of confirmed information about large-scale offensives, the missile threat to Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine remains significant.
Citizens are advised to follow safety rules, respond to alarms and follow official messages from the authorities. This will help save lives and avoid unnecessary panic.
Why it matters
The spread of unverified information about possible attacks could cause panic among the population and complicate the work of emergency services. That is why the Ministry of Internal Affairs urges Ukrainians to trust only official sources and not to spread rumours.
The urgency of the threat of shelling from the Russian Federation requires every citizen to take a responsible attitude to their own safety. Following the instructions during air raids and paying attention to official notifications remain key to protecting people's lives and health.
