The decision will be made in the Kremlin.

The Russian occupiers can make a new attempt to attack Kyiv if such a decision is made by the authorities of the aggressor country, the Russian Federation. This was stated by the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Serhiy Naev, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, published on August 14.

“Nobody has ever ruled out a second attack on Kyiv. We understand that hostile intentions depend only on the decisions of the top political leadership of the Russian Federation. So, given the above, such a possibility exists, but at the moment it is not backed up by forces and means. But this does not mean that it cannot happen in the future,” Naev said.

According to him, everything will depend on decision-making and on the availability of forces and means of the enemy.

“Our intelligence is constantly monitoring the situation and promptly brings information to the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the relevant groups commanders. With this in mind, we are doing everything to increase our ability to prevent successful enemy operations in the Kyiv direction. Considering that the enemy may do this in the future, we involve the heads of the Regional Military Administrations and other components of the defense and security forces in this work,” Naev said.
