This difficult and lengthy day is coming to a close. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who have been taken from us by Russian aggression. We are doing our best to protect people, and this issue of air defense for Ukraine has been raised in every international meeting and negotiation. However, protecting people means protection at all levels, and it is the responsibility of local authorities to ensure that shelters are available and accessible around the clock. It is heartbreaking to see the losses that have been caused by negligence of this duty, and if it is not fulfilled, law enforcement must take action. Today is Children's Day, and while we celebrate, a Ukrainian child has been taken from us by a terrorist state. Russia has also shelled our cities, from Kharkiv to Kherson, from Kyiv to Donbas. We have used this day to the best of our ability to bring us closer to victory and to hold Russia accountable for their actions. I thank all of our soldiers, those who train them, those who provide weapons, those who treat the wounded, the rescuers, the State Emergency Service, and all of the volunteers who are helping our soldiers, our people, and our country. Together, we are walking side by side to our victory
Today, the Kyiv City Council announced that shelters in Kyiv will remain open at all times. This decision was made despite previous concerns that the shelters would be closed due to repairs and potential overcrowding by homeless people. Roman Tkachuk, head of the municipal security department of the Kyiv City Council, stated that there was no other option but to keep the shelters open all the time.
The Kyiv City Prosecutors Office and police are conducting searches at the Kyiv City State Administration in response to reports from citizens about a shelter that was closed during a night attack by Russians, which resulted in the deaths of 3 people.
The Air Force spokesperson has suggested that the Russian army is using Iskander ballistic missiles to launch surprise attacks on Kyiv. This means that the Ukrainian air defense system has only a matter of minutes to react and take cover. Ihnat added that the terrorists are hoping to catch the Ukrainian air defense off guard with these missiles. To stay informed about this news, follow here and subscribe.
The Tauride Defense Forces' missile and artillery units conducted 832 firing missions throughout the day, resulting in enemy casualties of nearly two companies. Six pieces of weaponry and military equipment were destroyed or damaged, including a tank, an infantry fighting vehicle, an 82-mm mortar, an MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun, a 2S19 Msta-B self-propelled howitzer, and a D-30 howitzer. Additionally, four ammunition depots were destroyed. We are continuing our efforts to defeat the Russians.
The Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Municipal Security has partnered with the Ozone public monitoring group to monitor the operation of shelters. They are asking members of the public to join them as public commissioners to help with these inspections. If you are interested in participating, please contact the Department of Municipal Security at security@kyivcity.gov.ua.

The Belarusian military is training to shoot down drones with blank cartridges, though the Ministry of Defense has not provided any explanation as to how this would be effective. It appears that Belarus is not looking to learn how to effectively combat drones, but rather just creating videos for show.
Definitely worth reading. Know your enemy

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry is investigating the security guard who failed to open the bomb shelter in Kyiv, leading to the death of two people. Two criminal proceedings have been opened against the guard, one for official negligence and the other for leaving in danger. The penalty for official negligence is a prison sentence of 2 to 5 years, and for leaving in danger, up to 8 years in prison. In addition, the Interior Ministry has announced that the State Emergency Service and the police will be conducting random inspections of shelters in the future.
A security guard from a shelter in the Desnianskyi district was arrested from a hiding place in a polyclinic, as reported by an NV correspondent from the scene. Residents of nearby houses have stated that this is not the first such incident, as the guard has been drinking alcohol on the job and not opening the door for the past month.
