He notes Kyiv lacks both the resources to build shelters at every station and the weapons to intercept all drones and missiles, underscoring a widening vulnerability in urban infrastructure. The development signals a deliberate Russian campaign against civilian fuel supply, with uncertain near-term impact on Kyiv's mobility and emergency services.
