Russia attacked Kiev on 28 September with jet drones during the day, hitting the building of the National Academy of Sciences and a private medical facility. At least 2 people died in the capital and 3 were injured. Faster machines hinder defence and extend the threat besides towards the Polish border.
Attack in the mediate of the day
The Russian jet drone struck the historical building of the National Academy of Sciences in downtown Kiev on Monday. A fire broke out in the building, and workers were getting out of the first and second level windows. According to the Mayor of Kiev Vitali Klicka, 1 individual was killed and 3 wounded were transported to the hospital.

His assistant died.
The building of the Academy is located in a densely built part of the capital, close to the German embassy, the National Opera and the council of St. Vladimir. It is simply a civilian technological institution, although for years it has besides been working with the Ukrainian defence sector. Its president Anatoli Zahorodny stressed that at the time of impact many workers were present.
Over 120 drones in 1 day

The fresh structures are faster than older piston-powered machines and harder to shoot down by inexpensive interception drones. Russia is increasingly leading attacks during the day. Alarms interrupt the city's operation, and the strikes hit the objects in which people reside. Earlier Russian attacks on Kiev have already shown that even a heavy defended capital remains vulnerable.
War approaches the Polish border
On the same day, the Russian jet drone besides struck in the west of Ukraine, close the border crossing with Poland. The Polish authorities issued a informing about the possible threat from the air and called on residents of the east part of the Lublin Voivodeship to search refuge. This is another signal that Russian air force does not end far from our territory.
The Polish consequence must be based on an efficient anti-aircraft defense, a public informing strategy and fast consequence capability. Most Poles present do not believe in the country's readiness for Russian drones. This must not be disposed of as social anxiety. all attack close the border checks our procedures under real conditions.
Civil capital under constant pressure
Kiev is becoming more and more like a front city, although the line of fighting runs hundreds of kilometers away. Impacts on the Academy and the medical facility show the price civilians pay. They're not abstract elements of a war map. Behind all number is simply a man, his family, and a broken life.
Russia is trying to weaken the regular functioning of the capital and the resilience of the inhabitants. For Poland the safety of its own sky is at stake and the effective deterrence of the state, which one more time uses force against civilian objects. Ukraine's assistance in defence of the Russian attack remains in line with the Polish interest, due to the fact that stopping aggression east of our border serves straight the safety of Poles.
