Quote: "These systematic drone attacks by Ruscists [Russian forces – ed.] once again prove that the invaders are actively looking for an opportunity to hit Kyiv. They are testing their new tactics, looking for routes to the capital, and trying to expose the location of our air defence systems.

Therefore, Kyiv residents should not forget about the reality of the threat. Do not ignore the air-raid warnings! When an air-raid warning is issued, always seek shelter! Take care of yourselves."

Background: On the night of 20-21 July, Ukrainian air defence units were responding to a Russian air raid involving drones in Kyiv Oblast and on the outskirts of the capital.
