After Kyiv Comes Under Fire, Kovalov Urges Mobilization and Hits Out at Ukrainians Still Attending Concerts

Kyiv Under Fire: Public Anger and Wartime Priorities

According to Radiotrek — Світ: In a Facebook post about the missile attacks on Kyiv, Kovalov references both Zircon and Oreshnik rockets. He directs sharp criticism at Ukrainians who keep going to concerts, taking holidays in Bukovel and at Lake Como, and showing up at protests with cardboard signs while the war continues. He also urges women to bring their men to territorial recruitment centers (TCCs).

War Fatigue or Denial? A Call for Action

Every day after the strikes on Kyiv, Kovalov says he scrolls through Facebook and sees complaints and calls for immediate action. In his view, the 'hybrid' nature of this war lies in the fact that many Ukrainians, even those who consider themselves aware, still treat the conflict as something remote. They have not yet grasped the reality of the war or the threat of Ukraine's destruction, he argues.

He asks the public to stop voicing frustration over the strikes unless they are prepared to do something concrete.

'Then don't whine every morning that Zircons are falling on us,' he says.

Actions on the battlefield remain critically important, and as Kovalov puts it,

'the fate of the war, as before, is decided on the battlefield!'

The post highlights a sharp disconnect between how the war is perceived and what is actually happening. With threats mounting, Ukrainians are facing demands not only for awareness but also for real involvement. Kovalov's push for mobilization and stronger support for the military points to a broader need for unity and resolve-essential both for national security and for sustaining morale during wartime.
