Kyiv remains the main target of Russian troops and is still in danger.

About this in an interview “RBC-UkraineSaid Eugene Yenin, First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the official, it is naive to guarantee that someone will give up the desire to capture Kyiv or Ukraine. Yenin added that this should probably not be expected even after the end of the war.

“Having such neighbors by your side, it is better to constantly prepare for aggression and increase your power so that the aggressors and their accomplices are simply afraid to poke their noses here,” said the first deputy head of the Interior Ministry.

Yenin considers Russia’s previous intentions to seize Kyiv in a few days and force the Ukrainians to surrender quickly to be obvious. The official added that the occupiers had miscalculated, but it should be realized that this war may not be the last.

“We are in a state of fierce confrontation and are still defending our independence, and the danger exists even where it is relatively safe now,” Enin said. He added that even relatively peaceful Kyiv remains at risk of missile and bomb strikes.

Meanwhile, Mark Millie, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, does not rule out the possibility of escalating hostilities in Ukraine.
