Attack on Kyiv

It should be noted that Russia regularly attacks Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, using Shahed drones and missiles to intimidate the civilian population and destroy critical and residential infrastructure.

The air raid alert in Kyiv has been ongoing since the early evening of July 3. During this time, the capital has repeatedly been shaken by the sounds of drones, air defense systems, and explosions.

At the same time, Russian authorities deny that during the full-scale war, the Russian army deliberately targets civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities and villages, destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and energy and water supply facilities.
