Quote: “Yet another restless night for the Ukrainian capital. Russia’s Armed Forces are continuing to terrorise civilian populated areas, and Kyiv remains at the top of the enemy’s list. Russian troops have once again launched their attack drones on the peaceful homes of Kyiv residents this night. An air-raid warning was issued twice in Kyiv, remaining in effect for nearly five hours in total.”

Details: Popko emphasised that the Russians have recently started to alter their drone tactics, but the Ukrainian defence forces are effectively responding to new challenges.
