For the first time after February 24, 2022, Russia hit a government agency in Kiev.
The expert explained how the Russian Federation managed to hit the Cabinet of Ministers / Collage: UNIAN, photo: UA.depositphotos.com, screenshot with videoFor the first time since the beginning of the full -scale Russian military aggression in Kiev, there was an entry into the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The article The New York Times states that Russia managed to break through the “most powerful air defense zone in the capital of Ukraine. Military expert Vladislav Seleznev stated in an interview with RBC-Ukraine whether that is really the case.
The NYT article states that the Government District of Kiev, located on a hill and crossed by green paved streets, is located in the center of the air defense rings.
However, it is said in the publication, early on Sunday morning, September 7, from the windows of the building where the Cabinet of Ministers was sitting, a flame was visible and the firefighters flew on a helicopter to extinguish the fire in the building after a Russian attack.
The military expert disagrees with the opinion that the enemy managed to break through Ukrainian air defense.
“Of course, a large number of air defense systems are actually concentrated in Kiev. But even such a saturated air defense air defense cannot be 100% effective,” Seleznyov said.
He added that even the Israeli air defense system, one of the most powerful in the world, does not always cope with the most modern missiles.
“There is no ideal weapon. This time Russia has achieved the result due to the mass use of drones. The trouble is that they have accumulated many. I think we should be alert, because with some frequency the enemy will continue the tactics of rocket and morning terror,” the expert added.
Russia’s attacks in UkraineEarlier, UNIAN reported that US President Donald Trump’s special representative on Ukraine Kit Kellogo responded to Russia’s night attack in Ukraine and suggested that the aggressor country was exacerbated by the situation. Kellogo noted that it was the greatest attack in the history of the war and Russia kissed the Office of the Government of Ukraine. The US President Special Representative recalled how two weeks ago he was in the Cabinet of Ministers during his visit to Kiev. Kellogo expressed the opinion that this attack was not a signal that Russia wants to diplomatically end this war.
We also wrote that military expert Alexander Musienko believes that when choosing goals for attack, Russian invaders pursue a number of tasks. First of all, it is the terror of civilians, intimidation and attempt to sow fear among Ukrainians. Musienko added that the enemy also took the goal of firing infrastructure – the railway had previously suffered, and now there was a hit on the bridge. According to the expert, every attack of Russia is not similar to another.
