Kyiv Declares Drone Threats Despite Supposed 3-Day Ceasefire
Kyiv has warned locals of multiple Russian drones approaching on Monday evening, hours before Russia’s proposed ceasefire is set to expire – though there had also been contradictory reports over whether the ceasefire, proposed during the US envoys’ visit to Kyiv and Moscow, is supposed to end on Monday or Tuesday.
Kyiv has warned of a potential missile or drone attack despite a three-day ceasefire declared on Monday, Sept. 7. At 7:42 p.m., local authorities issued a red air raid warning under a new two-tier system. Two jet-powered drones were reported heading towards Brovary and Kaharlyk, while two more were seen flying over Kyiv's left and right banks.
The Ukrainian Air Force advised residents to seek shelter. The red warning supersedes a yellow one issued earlier, indicating incoming Russian drone threats. The system was introduced to ensure normal operations after Russia launched continuous drone assaults since late August. The ceasefire, agreed upon during a visit by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, aims for a potential trilateral discussion between the US, Ukraine, and Russia.
However, conflicting reports suggest the ceasefire might start at midnight on Friday or Saturday, with the final end-time of midnight on Monday or Tuesday, creating uncertainty. Contradictory reports about the ceasefire's inception and end-time have been circulating since Saturday.
