The Russian Federation, with its attack on Kyiv on the evening of Sunday, June 30, was trying to explore methods and means to hit the capital, states the Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Serhii Popko.

"Today's missile strike on Kyiv is different from numerous recent enemy air attacks on the capital of Ukraine. The enemy did not strike in the dark, not with combined or massive fire. It was not with ballistic weapons or cruise missiles from strategic bombers," said Popko.

According to him, the aggressor is trying new tactics and looking for the right time, methods and means to hit Kyiv. After all, the capital has always been and will be one of the highest priority targets for the invaders.

"Of course, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have its own effective counteraction to every enemy action. But such attacks by the occupiers should serve as a reminder to the residents of the capital - no air raid alert can be ignored," he said.
