INTERNAL MEMORANDUM — KYIV TOURISM AUTHORITY Date: September 9, 2026 RE: Inadvertent Product Launch and Clarification of Municipal Services
Following a clerical error in our departmental filing system, several routine operational updates regarding increased Russian drone activity were cross-referenced with our Q4 tourism prospectus. The resulting document has been circulated to international travel agencies under the heading “Experience the Siege: Premium Urban Adventure Package.”
We wish to clarify that this was not an intentional marketing campaign, though preliminary feedback suggests strong interest from a demographic we have not previously targeted.
The package, as currently described in the misfiled materials, includes round-the-clock air raid alerts (now occurring at record frequency), real-time drone strike notifications, and complimentary access to subway shelters during peak tourism hours. Schools and businesses remain open to accommodate visitor schedules, though operational disruptions should be anticipated.
The security headquarters incident of recent days has been reclassified as a “dynamic urban experience point” in the materials. We are working with our communications team to determine whether this constitutes accurate promotional language or requires amendment.
All civilians currently residing in Kyiv are asked to disregard the welcome packet. We regret any confusion this administrative overlap may have caused. The actual siege conditions remain unchanged and continue operating under standard municipal protocols.
Further updates will be issued following a comprehensive review of our filing procedures.
