The Russians are attempting to wear down Ukraine by using a variety of weapons, such as ballistic missiles, drones, aircraft bombs, and the remnants of cruise missiles, which they plan to use to target the city center, particularly Kyiv. Podolyak, an advisor to the Presidential Administration, has stated that the only way to protect civilian lives is to increase the resource capacity of the air defense system, such as with the addition of Patriot, NASAMS, IRIS-T, SAMP-T, and anti-missiles. He also urged Ukrainians to respond to air raid warnings, take precautions for their safety, and go to shelters, which have been promised to remain open indefinitely.
