Stating that this could be the work of “suspicious characters”, who are leaving clues for Russians, presumably for an airstrike, authorities have warned people against symbols that include a bright red X (X-marks-the-spot type) and arrows. Some reports claim that reflective tags have also been found all around Kyiv.

On a Facebook post last week, the city of Kyiv, appealed to the people who have access to roof to “urgently check” for such symbols. “City authorities are appealing to residents of multi-storey buildings that have access to the roof, asking to urgently check the roofs for the availability of tags. In case any marks are detected – please put them to sleep with the ground or something to cover,” the post read.
A similar Facebook post was put out by Alexander Tretyak, the mayor of Rivne, a town in western Ukraine, that read, that it is an urgent announcement.
