Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Koretsky stated that a map showing the approximate movement of Russian drones and missiles is now available to all Ukrainians in the Air Raid Alert app. The head of government announced this on his Telegram channel, as reported by RBC-Ukraine. According to Koretsky, the introduction of this feature is the result of a joint effort by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Defense, the Air Force of Ukraine, and Ukrainian IT companies.
What the New Map Actually Shows
According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the app has received a major update: it now displays the approximate movement of hostile targets—cruise missiles, Shahed-type kamikaze drones, Banderoli, and guided aerial bombs (KABs). At the same time, the Prime Minister made an important clarifying emphasis: the map does not show the exact real-time location of targets. Tracking the movement of ballistic missiles on this map is not yet possible.
The Result of Interagency Work and the Role of IT Companies
As emphasized by the government, the implementation of the feature is the culmination of coordination between several government structures—the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Defense, and the Air Force—along with Ukrainian IT companies. The Air Raid Alert app itself was developed by Ajax Systems and Stfalcon with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, allowing for the rapid deployment of this new civic information tool.
A Call Not to Ignore Air Raid Alerts
Commenting on the update, Koretsky once again reminded citizens that during enemy attacks, every minute counts in saving civilian lives. According to him, people need fast access to military-verified information so they do not waste time searching for reports in unverified sources. The Prime Minister urged Ukrainians never to ignore air raid alerts, to head to shelters immediately, and to remain there until the all-clear is given.
Context: Plans for a New State App
Against this backdrop, the government is also considering the creation of a new state application based on the Diia platform, which will allow Ukrainians to receive even more prompt information about drone movements and missile threats. Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned about where, according to available data, Russia plans to deploy its ballistics, and it was also noted that Russia has significantly intensified attacks on major Ukrainian cities. In these conditions, citizen access to verified information regarding aerial threats becomes a crucial element of civil defense.
