"In order to suppress information
attacks on
Russia, the technological infrastructure of the SBU (Ukraine's
Security Service) and the 72nd main PSO (Psychological Operations Unit) center
in Kyiv will be hit with high-precision weapons," defense ministry
spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
"We call on... Kyiv residents living
near relay nodes to leave their homes," Konashenkov added.
His statement comes as
Russian troops are
ramping up efforts to take Ukraine's capital Kyiv.
Ukrainian authorities have accused the
Russian army of carrying out strikes on residential areas in several cities,
including the eastern city of Kharkiv, where fierce fighting is taking
place.
Russia says it does not target civilians,
despite evidence otherwise.
Ukraine says up to 350 civilians have been
killed since Russia invaded.
