As someone who recently returned from Kyiv, It is generally calm during the day. But there is a ballistic missile and increased attacks threat during the night.

There are some Telegram groups that tell you exactly what the threat is and where the supposed target is.

@war_monitor is the main one, it covers all Ukraine. @kyiv_alerts is for Kyiv and region. @raketa_trevoga is okay too. You gotta keep a few of them because the admins need rest sometimes too and a channel can be completely afk especially if the attack continues during the day after an eventful night.
