Escalating attacks upending daily life in Kyiv

In Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, escalating drone attacks have disrupted daily life for its three million residents. These attacks, primarily carried out by high-speed, jet-propelled drones since early 2022, have led to near-constant air defense alerts and the cancellation of public events. In a recent incident, a jet-powered drone struck a road near a bridge, injuring a woman and her partner.
As the city endures its fifth winter of war, residents face increasing challenges, with power and water outages becoming more frequent. Despite these hardships, many are already considering relocation due to the escalating conflict and its impact on their lives.
