Ukraine seeks to defend Kyiv as Russia ramps up attacks on capital city
in the early hours of Tuesday and the city’s air defense systems were shooting down incoming missiles, while air raid sirens blared in several other regions.
Russia has repeatedly attacked the Ukrainian capital in May using a combination of drones and missiles, mostly at night, in an apparent attempt to undermine Ukrainians’ will to fight after more than 15 months of war. Russian state-owned news agency RIA cited the defense ministry as saying more than one air base had been hit. There was no confirmation from Ukraine of damage to other air bases.
Wagner began handing over positions to regular troops this week after declaring full control of Bakhmut following the longest and bloodiest battle of the war.
