Ignat explained whether the nighttime attack on Kyiv was the largest in terms of the number of projectiles
Yuriy Ignat, head of the Communications Department of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, stated that the Russian nighttime attack on Kyiv was one of the largest in terms of the number of ballistic missiles launched, but it was not the largest.
According to him, despite widespread online reports of a record-breaking barrage, attacks of a similar scale have already occurred recently.
Ignat noted that over the past 35 days, Kyiv has already endured four massive attacks, including the current one. During these attacks, Russia deployed approximately the same number of ballistic missiles, dozens of cruise missiles of various types, and a large number of attack drones.
