The threat of a new massive attack on Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared about Russia's preparation of a new massive strike across the territory of Ukraine. He urged citizens to be aware of air raid warnings and to save their lives. This warning was a response to intelligence information about the intensification of hostile forces.
Intensification of Ukraine's air defence
Our services are promptly ready to repel attacks. The Ukrainian Air Force operates 24/7 to protect the country's airspace. Particular attention is now being paid to Kyiv and the region, in particular to key cities and towns such as Fastiv, Boryspil, Obukhiv, Ukrayinka, Bila Tserkva, Irpin and Vasylkiv.
Military operations at the frontline
Russia has already started using unmanned aerial vehicles such as «shahed» and missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine. These attacks pose a threat to civilians and infrastructure, underscoring the need for increased attention and rapid response by defence forces.
Impact on the security of Kyiv region
The strikes focused on the capital region, prompting the announcement of air alerts. The settlements in Kyiv region are under increased threat, so the authorities are urging citizens to take precautions and stay in shelters during the alarms.
Challenges for national defence
The continuous work of the Air Force and other defence units is key to deterring the enemy. The constant threat of missile and drone attacks requires high mobility and efficiency from Ukraine's defenders, who continue to defend the skies over the country.
