> Russia’s extensive use of jet-powered drones since late summer 2026 has brought frequent alerts and strikes to major Ukrainian cities, affecting businesses, transport, schools and hospitals. In Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, residents and institutions have adapted with underground schools and shelters, while public transport often continues during alerts. Attacks have also damaged malls and industrial facilities and disrupted some services.
