The Ukrainian capital Kiev was again rocked by explosions on Monday morning. An air raid siren was issued and Mayor Vitali Klitschko advised townspeople to seek shelter. A fireball was seen in the sky, a reporter from the center reported. The Ukrainian air defense may have been active against new Russian missile attacks. This has not been confirmed. According to Klitschko, there were three explosions, one of which was in the center of the Shevchenkivskyy district.
Shortly before that, the sirens had warned of air strikes. “Stay in the bomb shelters!” Klitschko warned the inhabitants of the capital in the online networks. Details followed later, he said. Andriy Yermak, chief of the Ukrainian presidential staff, wrote in the messaging app Telegram about attacks with kamikaze drones. “The Russians think it will help them,” Yermak said, “it shows their desperation.” It was initially unclear whether there were any casualties.
Just a week ago, Kiev was shelled in retaliation
A week ago, Russia fired missiles at the center of Kiev, including during the morning rush hour at the beginning of the week. Earlier there had been an explosion on the bridge to the Moscow-annexed Crimea peninsula on the Black Sea. Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin had accused Ukraine’s secret service of a “terrorist attack” on the bridge – then had the missiles fired in retaliation. More than a dozen people died and more than 100 were injured in Kiev and other cities in Ukraine.
Putin said on Friday that not all targets were hit in the attacks. At the same time, he emphasized that he did not see the need for new massive blows like a week ago. Putin has fired missiles at Kiev and many other cities since the beginning of his war against Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Kremlin Fearlessly Continues Military “Operation”
About eight months after invading Ukraine, Russia plans to boldly pursue its war goals despite military setbacks. The military “operation” is coming to an end, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on state television on Sunday. This is complicated by the help of Western countries for Ukraine. But Russia has enough potential to continue the mission. He said NATO was already “de facto” involved in the conflict.
