Be very careful of your directed replies and only say what I truly wrote. This is not a game.
I have said places of interest for attacks include Capitals. Like Kyiv. What the post explains states is to avoid these. Specifically, I have told you exactly which places to avoid. I said exactly what you write here. Please read carefully.
There is however this other issue: There can be blockades and one might not be able to leave OUTSIDE of a capital, nor go INSIDE of it.
In this case, one must stay AWAY from all places of interest as stated. In regards to airports, they are never inside the "Capital", they are at least many miles outside of it. In Ukraine's case, I don't see in Google Earth that the Kyiv Airport is "inside" the capital, it is a long distance.
If one is enforced to stay at the capital, I have told them where not to be. Governmental buildings and living close to them, can be dangerous as anything.

Your reply anyway is excellent and I am glad you made it out. If you have more experience, do write it without hesitation.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and may Father Satan keep you safe always.
It wasn't my intention to put words in your mouth nor was it to instigate any kind of argument here. I genuinely misread what you wrote and I only meant to give a solid advice from someone who experienced a war. Sorry if this was not the case or if what I wrote conveyed a different message!
What you're talking about when it comes to blockades, it's the case, when it comes to my experience, that cities get sieged and it gets very difficult to leave as a consequence. Hence why I advice all Ukrainians to leave at the very least towards the western borders for the time being, as the situation can change from completely fine to absolute chaos in few minutes.
When it comes to international airports, you're right, they're usually many kilometers away from the city. What I meant by my comment was to say that airports get targeted and are usually contested very early on (this is already the case for the international airport near Kyiv). Commercial airplanes, although very rarely, also get targeted and almost always on accident (mostly by anti-aircraft missiles that miss the fighting jets and end up chasing a commercial airplane instead, these anti-aircraft missiles can travel hundreds to thousands of kilometers!! and the Ukrainian Army has solid American equipment!). I advice taking an airplane only when the airport and the traveling route is nowhere near any conflict areas. Just in case.
As for hospitals and schools and such, this is a dirty war instigated by (((dirty people))) and lead by (((dirty generals))). Hospitals will very likely get targeted, and this is, allegedly, already the case:

Now, I personally doubt the legitimacy of this news- I think this is just some fake news to try and convince the NATO countries to do something about Russia, which they already are; Sanctions towards Russia and Belarus have already been issued/renewed and many NATO countries have their armies on standby. The US have also sent battalions to Germany to "ensure the safety of NATO members". The US has also expelled Russia's second-ranking diplomat in Washington and many NATO countries have either expelled Russian Ambassadors or withdrew their own from Russia and Belarus. This is a very concerning news and suggests escalation. Turkey has also condemned Russia and affirmed its supports towards Ukraine. Turkey could stop Russian warships from entering the Black Sea via the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, which consequently could lead to an escalation with Russia.
As for Ukraine, the Ukrainian army has recaptured many points, which suggests that the war will be dragged out and won't be a swift invasion. This spells bad news for civilians...
Also, reports from Ukrainian defense officials say that a Russian bombing raid will hit Kyiv at 3 AM. This is usually the case when it comes to bombing raids, as most happen at night. Shelters are not a bad idea for the meantime. The war hasn't reached that point yet where shelters are also a target. The first thing I would do in the morning, is to LEAVE! War is chaotic and is not a joke:

One last thing, you should also exchange all of your money from your local currency to Euros or Dollars as soon as possible. It might be a better idea to do so after you leave Ukraine to avoid looting or suspicion.
