 The enemy changed the tactics of shelling

 

 As KMVA drew attention to, after prolonged night-time attacks, Russian troops struck a peaceful city during the day, when most residents were at work and on the streets.

 

 "In other words, the racists are clearly demonstrating that they are aiming at the destruction of the civilian population," the Kyiv City Administration noted.

 

 Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba, after another hostile attack on the capital, called on partners to further strengthen Ukraine's air defense and to transfer F-16 fighter jets to counter Russian aggression.

 

 "Russian attacks by strike drones and missiles aimed at peaceful Ukrainian cities cannot be considered something ordinary, no matter how frequent they become. All of these are war crimes and must be stopped by further strengthening of Ukraine's air defenses, including F-16 fighter jets , and the transformation of Russian aggression in general into a defeat," Kuleba wrote on Twitter.
