Danger for Kyiv remains - Ministry of Defense

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine admitted that Russia had not abandoned its plans to capture the capital. Experts believe that the likelihood of a new attack on Kyiv remains, however, it is lower than at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. Alina Frolova, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Center for Defense Strategies, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine (2019-2020), told Channel 24 website about this.

Alina Frolova is sure that Russia will continue rocket attacks and finance the work of sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) on the territory of Ukraine, including in Kyiv.

She also noted that after the sinking of the Moskva cruiser, the Russians intensified shelling of the territory of Ukraine.

Russian troops are constantly aiming at the civilian population, so Kyiv is like a symbolic city for them and can be under constant fire and rocket attacks or terrorist attacks, she said.
