The date of the enemy's next massive attack is difficult to calculate. But Ukrainians must prepare for possible shelling, says Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Just look at the statistics here: if in early December they attacked using up to 20 cruise missiles, then we saw them on December 29... there were 158 air attack weapons, and then on January 2, January 8, and now. That is, the periodicity here is such that it is very difficult to guess when the next attack will take place," Ihnat said.

He emphasized that it is difficult to calculate when the next enemy attack might be. The spokesperson noted that it is always necessary to prepare for possible attacks.

"We always need to prepare for this, replenish our stocks. Our partners have information on how much and what kind of munitions we need and in what areas. Then we just need to strengthen our air defense," he added.

Massive shelling of Ukraine on February 7

Yesterday morning, the occupiers fired missiles at Ukraine from strategic aviation. Our air defense system shot down a total of 44 enemy targets, including 15 drones that the Russians had launched since the evening of February 6. Our air defense also destroyed all three Kalibr missiles launched by the invaders.

Against the backdrop of the missile attack, Poland sent its aircraft into the sky, and the spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yurii Ihnat, noted that the missiles were maneuvering in the western regions of Ukraine, including the Polish border.

Kyiv came under a missile attack, a high-rise building caught fire as a result of the attack, and there were power outages. Strikes were also recorded in Drohobych, Mykolaiv, and Dnipro region.
