Alexander Grif

Ukraine Country Director for Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC)

[Katarina Mathernova 🇪🇺 @kmathernova]

Kropyvnytskyi, last night. Russia unleashed 25 drones—the largest attack on the city since the war began.

Homes & railway infrastructure on fire, ten people wounded, including a child.

This is what the Kremlin’s word is worth.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

CIVIC in #Ukraine acts as a convener of different parties and stakeholders to achieve civilian protection. As we conclude the annual International Conference on the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine, our Country Director, @GrifAlexander, reminds us of a crucial truth: civilians are agents of their own protection—we are only here to support them in achieving it.

Several more explosions now. I am watching Ukrainian air defense work over my apartment in central Kyiv. Totally surreal. People running down the street for cover in the metro and building basements. Car alarms screaming.

[Dara Massicot @MassDara]

I’ve been comparing Russian missile strikes against Ukraine over the last few months with what is known about their doctrine and launch capacity. I’d like to share a little about recent trends below. /1
