The government is preparing to revise its approach to curfews and provide civilians with faster access to information about air threats. Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi announced this, without specifying what exact changes may be introduced.

According to him, the work of the state, the capital, the economy and critical infrastructure must be adjusted to respond to Russia’s evolving attack tactics.

“Long air raid alerts affect not only public safety, but also businesses, logistics, transport, schools, kindergartens and many other areas of daily life. The enemy is attempting to disrupt economic activity in the capital and other major cities, so our response methods and operating procedures must also be updated,” the head of government said.

He added that the government is working on solutions for businesses and public institutions during different types of threats, as well as on the organization of logistics, transport, metro operations and other infrastructure facilities. The aim is to improve public protection while allowing people to continue living and working in cities and communities.

“We also intend to reconsider the rules surrounding curfews and civilians’ access to more timely air-threat information, without creating additional security risks,” Koretskyi said.

He stated that the necessary proposals are expected to be prepared early next week, presented to the public and then put into practice.

Russian attacks on Ukraine

Military expert Ivan Tymochko said that Russia has increasingly launched attacks during daylight hours in an effort to disrupt city life and inflict greater harm on civilians.

In his view, the attacks are intended to achieve several objectives. Above all, Russia seeks to undermine the Ukrainian economy, as air raid warnings force many employees to leave their workplaces and take shelter. Such attacks also create ongoing anxiety for parents whose children are in kindergartens, as well as for people in hospitals or traveling on public routes.

Tymochko believes that the enemy is deliberately counting on a stronger psychological impact and a larger number of victims.
