On May 23, Alexey Danchin, head of the Vyshgorodsky district Military Administration (RVA), announced that settlements across the Kiev region—including the Ukrainian capital—are preparing for all-round defense.
Danchin stated there are 32 such settlements in the region, including the city of Kiev. He added that military estimates place the cost of priority measures alone at 11 billion hryvnias (approximately 17.7 billion rubles).
Last year, the Kiev region spent UAH 108 million on protection, with an additional UAH 86 million allocated this year.
