On Monday, 27 February, Russian invaders used 14 Shahed kamikaze drones to strike Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.

Nine drones were shot in the airspace around Kyiv.

The attack was launched in two waves, dragged in time as much as possible. Thus, the enemy tried to reach its tactical goal: to exhaust the Ukrainian air defence system. That is why the night air raid alert in Kyiv lasted five and a half hours.
