Kyiv is switching to survival mode, urging residents who have friends or relatives outside the capital to consider temporarily relocating. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said this in an interview with AFP, reports UNN.
New reports of destroyed buildings, wounded people, or people tragically killed arrive every day as the shelling of our city intensifies. Today, the main thing is to survive
Klitschko said that residents who have friends or relatives outside Kyiv should consider temporarily relocating—repeating an offer that sparked a strong reaction last year. He stressed that he would never call for a full evacuation.
This is Putin's goal... the best-case scenario for Putin is when we all leave and hand over our empty cities and our country to him
He added that, in preparation for winter, the city is building backup heating systems and stockpiling fuel, food, and drinking water.
No matter how well we prepare, if the air defense fails, we could find ourselves in the worst-case scenario
We remind you
Against the backdrop of problems facing the Russian army at the front, the Kremlin may intensify strikes on Kyiv. Putin ordered General Sergei Surovikin to destroy the bridges across the Dnipro in order to paralyze the capital.
