Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned on Saturday that Russian forces were preparing for a massive attack on Ukraine, urging residents to take special care as Russian strikes in different regions killed at least six people.
Russian Attacks Intensify
Zelenskiy stated in his nightly video address that the Russians have prepared for a massive attack, and residents should pay close attention to air raid warnings. Russian forces have staged a series of heavy attacks on Kyiv and other major cities in recent weeks.
Strikes last Monday killed 10 people throughout the country and badly damaged the Pechersk Lavra monastery, a 1,000-year-old monastery that stands as a symbol of Ukrainian spiritual and cultural heritage. Zelenskiy has pledged that his military would press on with its campaign of medium and long-range strikes, focused on the oil sector.
On Saturday, Russian forces attacked the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia with glide bombs, killing five people and injuring 10. Near the Russian border, a bomb attack killed one person on the outskirts of the city of Sumy. In southern Kherson region, one person died in a drone attack on a village north of the region’s main city.
