Russia trying to calculate positions of Ukrainian anti-air defense systems: Official

“The occupiers are uneasy about our anti-aircraft defense, its quality and settings. They still try, in particular, to calculate these defense positions,” Nataliya Gumenyuk, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces, told local media.

Gumenyuk later urged people not to mention when some of these systems are working.

“Even if you don’t name specific coordinates, you’re emphasizing where and in which directions these systems are concentrated,” she added.

Gumenyuk’s comments come as air raid alerts continue to be sounded across Ukraine on a daily basis, most recently this morning, over possible Russian strikes.

Local authorities often share information on such threats on social media, even reporting cases, in some instances, where anti-air systems are actively working and urging people to stay in shelters.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top officials have regularly voiced the country’s need for more anti-aircraft defenses.
