Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko has announced that new air defense equipment had arrived in the capital, and expressed hope that it would help protect its energy infrastructure after weeks of targeted Russian airstrikes. “The military have assured me [during a recent meeting] that new air defense equipment has arrived in the capital and our sky will be safer,” Klitschko said on Ukrainian TV on Friday. “We hope that there will be no more attacks and provocations with kamikaze drones and missiles,” Klitschko added in a reference to Iranian-made Shahed exploding drones spotted repeatedly over Ukrainian cities.
