[90016] Fears of a massive Russian attack on Ukraine and Kyiv in the coming days

Warning of a massive Russian attack: Fear of strikes on civilian centers

Over the past 24 hours, numerous reports have flowed in from Ukrainian Telegram channels regarding Russian preparations for a large-scale missile and drone attack. According to Реальна Війна | Україна | Новини, which is identified with a staunch pro-Ukrainian stance, Russia is planning a combined strike that could take place by the end of this current week. The site notes that the targets may include one of the large shopping centers in Kyiv.

Similar assessments were published by 🔊⚠️єРадар | Повітряна тривога | Ракетна небезпека, which reports that the "Engels" airbase is at the center of the logistical activity. According to єРадар, the attack could involve seven Tu-95MS aircraft, four Tu-22m3 aircraft, and three Tu-160 bombers, alongside "Zircon" missiles, "Iskander-M" ballistic missiles, and a large number of UAVs.

In the Київ Головне channel, it was noted that during the night, various strategic aircraft were transferred to the "Engels-2" base for arming. However, the channel called on the public to remain calm and emphasized: "It is likely that nothing will happen, so as long as possible - we are sleeping."

Additional sources, including 🇺🇦УКРАЇНА⚡️Новини ⚡️Політика, added that this is a planned rearming round intended to send a message to Kyiv. Despite the severity attributed to these reports, it is important to note that the information relies on air movement reports and open-source intelligence (OSINT) analyses disseminated by Ukrainian channels, which tend to emphasize the danger of Russian attacks as a means of warning the local public.
