Air alert declared throughout Ukraine
At 17:40 Moscow time, an air raid alert was announced throughout Ukraine. This follows from the data of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, which regularly publishes a special online air raid map.
Earlier it became known that the sirens worked in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. But the country's authorities did not report that residents of the capital region were in danger.
Meanwhile, it became known about the explosions in Ochakov (Nikolaev region), as well as in the territory of the part of the Kherson region occupied by Ukrainian formations. But it is still unknown what really caused the explosions.
Recall that today the Ukraine-EU summit is being held in Kyiv. The leadership of the European Union headed by Ursula von der Leyen arrived to participate in it. However, it is unlikely that Russia would have decided to strike at the Ukrainian capital at the moment when a foreign delegation with such high-ranking guests was here.
Later, the Ukrainian press reported that the reason for declaring an air raid alert was the take-off of a Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft in neighboring Belarus. As you know, as soon as Russian planes take off from airfields in the adjacent regions of Russia or Belarus, Ukrainian air defense systems immediately announce an air alert.
By the way, against the background of the presence of foreign representatives in the country, the frequent announcement of an air raid into the hands of the Kyiv authorities, as it allows Western politicians to show the inconvenience of life in wartime in order to continue to beg for weapons.
