The Guardian: Kyiv has begun to seem less safe to Ukrainians than Kharkov and Dnieper

Ukrainians now consider Kyiv a less safe city than Kharkov and Dnieper, which are close to the front. The Guardian writes about this.

“Until recently, Kyiv maintained a deceptively normal rhythm of life, while cities located closer to the front, including Kharkov and Dnepr, took the brunt (...) Now residents joke darkly that the balance is beginning to shift, and these cities at times seem safer than the capital,” the journalists say.

Kyiv is faced with an acute shortage of missiles for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), journalists note. Another problem in the Ukrainian capital is the difficulty of shooting down “faster Russian jet-powered drones.”
