Ukraine's Air Force assesses possibility of Russian invaders landing in Kyiv as unrealistic

Yurii Ihnat, a spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, considers the scenario of a Russian landing in Kyiv or on the territory of Ukraine as unrealistic in general.

Quote: "Today, this is generally an unrealistic scenario... Then the enemy failed, and it will not succeed now. Because it will not be possible to fly just to the capital and land troops from the Il-76 in any way. I do not think they [the Russians - ed.] will be able to reach the border either."

Details: According to Ihnat, the situation now differs from 24 February, when the invaders made a daring and unexpected attack on the outskirts of Kyiv. Now the Defense Forces are ready to meet Russian invaders with dignity.

The main thing is to receive assistance from Western partners, in particular new missile defence systems.

After all, Russian invaders can get additional ballistic missiles, so Ukraine needs air defence equipment to protect as many infrastructure facilities all over the country and large cities as possible from the tyranny of Russia.
