Kyiv residents exhausted by Russia's relentless missile attacks

Residents of Kyiv face increasing exhaustion as Russia's new missile tactics offer only a four-minute warning before strikes. The relentless attacks have left people struggling to recover, with many fearing for their safety and well-being, according to local sources.

The new missile tactics employed by Russia provide just a four-minute warning, which is insufficient for residents to prepare or find safety. One local said, "There was no longer anything to distract me when I realised I was really scared." The attacks come suddenly, with people hearing the firing and bombing around them.

Many residents keep backpacks with essential items ready, hoping that if the worst happens, rescuers will be able to find them under the rubble. However, the constant threat has taken a toll. "Now, in the fifth year of the war, I find it increasingly difficult to bounce back after nights like these," a resident shared. The fear of sickness and lack of medicine adds to the anxiety, with one person asking, "What if I get sick one day?"

The attacks leave little time to sleep or recover, as people remain on edge, walking around like zombies. The exhaustion is compounded by the feeling that allies are waiting and thinking, but not acting swiftly enough. The ongoing conflict has made daily life a struggle, with residents coping as best they can amid the relentless missile strikes.
