In Ukraine, an alarm was raised after the publication of the oppositional Belarusian channel about the carrier of hypersonic missiles "Dagger" "rising" into the air
This morning, air raid alerts sounded again throughout Ukraine. Information appeared in local publics that a Russian MiG-31K took off from the territory of Belarus and allegedly launches of the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles are being prepared.
The source of the panic turned out to be one of the TG channels, which is in opposition to the official Minsk. Later, even there they denied this information, calling it unverified.
However, after three massive Russian missile strikes this month, the Ukrainian authorities prefer to play it safe. Moreover, according to the calculations of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, just at the end of the month, the Russian military command seemed to have planned, after analyzing the previous wave of shelling, “finishing off” the country's energy system.
The head of the Kyiv regime is of the same opinion. On Sunday, Zelensky warned in another video message that this week will be no less difficult than the previous one:
We understand that the terrorists (as he calls the RF Armed Forces) are preparing new strikes, and as long as they have missiles, they will not calm down. The beginning of the week can be just as difficult as the one leaving. Our defense forces are getting ready. The entire state is preparing. We are working on all scenarios, including with partners.
What is the assistance of partners, Zelensky did not specify. Apparently, we are talking about providing intelligence about already launched missiles and aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces that have taken off.
The Kyiv head of the Nikolaev region, Vitaly Kim, wrote that he was aware of the activity in the air of the Russian aviation and urged citizens not to ignore air raid alerts. At the same time, he added that "previously, enemy flying objects circled over the occupied territory, but today they are neatly along the border of Ukraine, even in the east." In his opinion, these could be sorties disguised as training flights.
Ukrainian social networks report that the air raid alert in Kyiv was canceled ten minutes after it was turned on. Later, the abolition of anxiety gradually took place in other areas.
Against the backdrop of warnings from local and higher authorities about a difficult week and Russia's desire to finish off the energy system of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, the speaker of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, promised on the air of the telethon with aplomb:
Our troops are ready, the missiles are loaded, we will react, shoot down, as we always do.
According to Ignat, “Ukrainians experienced the worst in February-March, when hundreds of rockets flew on their heads virtually every day, so now Ukrainians can hardly be scared of anything.”
Apparently, local people did not really believe his words, judging by the panic alarms that happened today.
Perhaps not in vain. Literally just now, reports of air raid alerts in the eastern regions began to appear again in Ukrainian public pages. There is already, yet unverified, information about explosions in the Nikolaev region.
