Kyiv defenses: exercises to be held for three next days

On May 23-25, military exercises will be held in the capital and Kyiv region involving the units of the Kyiv Defense Force.

That’s according to the Ground Force Command, Ukrinform reports.

During the training, practical actions will be worked out by personnel, including with the use of heavy military equipment and weapons.

The purpose of the drill is to increase combat operational capabilities during the preparation and conduct of a defensive operation, the Command stressed.

The press service appeals to residents to remain calm amid the upcoming movement of personnel and military hardware, as well as refrain from sharing on social media any photos or videos disclosing such maneuvers.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, joint exercises of the military river division and the territorial defense unit on the location, containment, blocking, and destruction of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups took place across Kyiv region.
