Zelenskyy urged people to respond to air raid alerts in coming days
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Ukrainian citizens to take air raid sirens as seriously as possible in the coming days.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing a video address by the head of state.
Warning
"Be sure to pay attention to air raid alerts every day—today and in the days ahead. We understand who we’re dealing with and what Russia is counting on. Instead of peace, they’re choosing missiles. They have no other ‘cards’. We must rely on our own strength and vigilance. Be sure to protect your lives," the president warned.
What preceded it?
The head of state’s warning came amid official reports from the Ukrainian Air Force regarding the threat of Russia deploying experimental ballistic weapons from the "Kapustin Yar" test site, from which the occupiers had previously launched the "Oreshnik" missile system.
