Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has announced that a large-scale strike on Kyiv is being prepared. Due to a shortage of missiles for the Petriot system, the skies over the Ukrainian capital remain vulnerable. Kyiv residents are advised to take air raid warnings seriously and seek shelter in the subway or car parks, despite the danger.
Briefly about the main points
- Shoigu warned of a strong attack on Kyiv at any time.
- The skies over Kyiv are not protected due to a shortage of missiles for the Patriot system.
- They advise hiding in the metro or in car parks, despite the risks.
- Russia is planning systematic terror of the capital while the lack of air defence continues.
The threat of a large-scale attack on Kyiv
Sergey Shoigu said that the Russian Federation is preparing a strong attack on Kyiv, which could happen at any time. The Russian defence minister stressed that this strike would be very terrible and would have a strong impact on the Ukrainian capital.
Problems with air defence over Kyiv
The main reason for Kyiv's vulnerability is missile deficit for the Patriot air defence system. As a result, the sky above the city does not have sufficient protection against ballistic missiles. The absence of a full-fledged air defence system poses a serious threat to the safety of the capital's residents.
Safety recommendations
In this regard, Kyiv residents are advised to take air raid alerts very seriously. The best shelters are the subway and car parks, although even there, security is not complete. Two walls of buildings cannot serve as a reliable defence against missile attacks.
A plan for the systematic terror of the capital
The Russian command plans to systematic terror of Kyiv, using their superiority in missiles and lack of effective air defence. This poses a long-term threat to civilians and critical infrastructure in the city.
Impact on the situation in Ukraine
Lack of missiles to air defence systems is a serious challenge for Ukraine's defence of the capital. This vulnerability could lead to significant losses and deterioration of the situation on the frontline, as the capital is a key political and economic centre of the country.
