The Kyiv Defense Council held an urgent meeting in connection with the latest statements by the leaders of the aggressor country regarding their intentions to increase the number of missile attacks aimed at civilian targets and civilians of Ukraine and Kyiv in particular.

"All security and military structures of Kyiv, in accordance with their powers, should increase attention to crowded places, ensure compliance with public safety and order in the capital. Ensure all necessary measures that contribute to the safety of the citizens of Kyiv. All responsible structures and balance holders of protective structures of civil protection should ensure constant access of the population to shelters and readiness of invincibility points for use," the message states.

Separately, social networks will be monitored for the spread of disinformation, provocations and other information aimed at destabilizing the situation in the capital.
