AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

There is an ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022. Attacks on civilian and military infrastructure are a common tactic of Russian forces. The Kiev Oblast is located around the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, and the Volyn Oblast borders Poland, which makes it strategically important in the context of the security of NATO's eastern flank.
