Kiev is under systematic attack by Russia, according to Major-General Agostinho Costa, commentator for CNN Portugal. The current situation represents a significant escalation compared to previous attacks.

The major-general states that the attacks are no longer primarily carried out with normal drones, which makes Ukrainian defense much more difficult. This change in attack methodology represents an added challenge for defense forces.

Agostinho Costa analyzes Russian attack capability and Ukrainian defense possibilities, providing military context on the evolution of the conflict in the Ukrainian capital.
