General Ihor Romanenko, founder of the Charitable Foundation Safe Skies Over Ukraine and former Deputy Chief of the Ukrainian General Staff (2006–2010), shared bhis opinions on Espreso TV."Russia’s strikes must be distinguished, because, on the front lines, there is increased activity as the enemy attempts to advance. We know that this includes the Pokrovsk direction, Kostiantynivka, Novopillia, Dobropillia, and Lyman. The enemy has also shifted its resources to the Zaporizhzhia direction. As for massive air strikes, I think that delegations visiting us on our solemn dates helped us at the time, so Putin did not dare to strike Kyiv," Romanenko said.He added that, with Putin in China, Russian forces are likely to carry out low-intensity air strikes rather than massive attacks involving more than 500 drones and 50 missiles of various types."The enemy will continue to accumulate missiles and drones. And on September 4, Putin's participation in events in China will end, and there may be repeated massive strikes. There is no hope that Trump will put pressure on Putin with his promises, because we see that no such steps have been taken. Accordingly, this is my prediction for Russian strikes in the near future," Romanenko concluded.On the evening of August 27, Russian forces launched UAVs and missiles at Ukraine. The attack killed 25 people in Kyiv and wounded another 53.
