On the other hand, the government in Kyiv refused to disclose whether it was behind the bombings.

Zelensky said in an evening speech:

Certainly, war is not a time for vanity and loud statements. The less details you reveal about our defensive plans, the better those defensive plans will be implemented.

If you like making loud headlines, that’s one thing – it’s frankly irresponsible. If you want victory for Ukraine, that’s another thing, and you must be aware of your responsibility for every word you say about our country’s plans for defense or counterattack.”

Zelensky directed his comments to government, local and military officials, as well as other people he said were commenting on events at the front.
