Klitschko's party urges Kyiv residents to skip rally demanding his resignation, citing drone risk
The Udar party of Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko asks residents not to attend public events on 17 October. It cites the risk of a Russian drone attack during mass gatherings.
Udar, the Ukrainian party led by Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko, is calling on residents of the capital to refrain from public events on 17 October. The stated reason is the danger of a Russian drone attack if large numbers of people gather in Kyiv.
The appeal relates to a planned rally demanding Klitschko's own resignation. The headline of the report says the party warns of a possible attack by Shahed-type drones. The brief source report gives no further details about the rally's organisers, location or time.
Russia continues its war against Ukraine, and its unmanned aerial vehicles also threaten Kyiv. For that reason Udar considers large groups of people in open spaces too risky.
