Russia prepares mass strike on Ukraine: Zelenskyy issues urgent warning

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy received information regarding Russia's preparations for a new massive attack on Ukraine.

He announced this via Telegram.

"Spoke with Federal Chancellor of Austria Christian Stocker. Grateful for the condolences regarding the constant Russian air attacks. Informed the chancellor about our intelligence data that Russia is preparing a new massive strike on Ukrainian cities and communities. It is crucial to have joint responses from our partners to these strikes, primarily regarding the supply of anti-ballistic systems," the President said.

According to intelligence reports, Russian forces may be planning the attack ahead of Kyiv Day.

Specifically, the Ukraine Context Telegram channel writes that residents of Shevchenkivskyi, Holosiivskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Podilskyi districts of the capital should be particularly vigilant.

“Residents in Korosten, Vyshhorod, Dnipro, Pavlohrad, Bila Tserkva, Lviv, Starokostiantyniv and Dubno should also take air raid alerts seriously, as Russia had carried out final reconnaissance of targets in those areas. All responsible officials and enterprise employees have been warned,” the statement said.

Andriy Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, also briefly commented on the matter: "Pay maximum attention to air raid alerts in the coming days."
