Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday evening, referring to the secret services, declared that Russia is preparing another large-scale attack on Ukraine. It could happen in the next few days and drones could be deployed in it the goal would be to knock out Ukrainian air defenses as well as missiles. Zelenskyy appealed to the Ukrainians to pay attention to the sirens signaling an air attack in this situation, the DPA agency reported.
A similar situation occurred last week, when Zelenskyi warned on Thursday of a large-scale night attack by Russian forces: a few hours later, the Russian army launched a fierce attack on the Lviv region of western Ukraine, during which, according to Moscow, it also used the new Oreshnik medium-range missile.
In the capital city of Kyiv, this attack caused serious blackouts of electricity, water and heating suppliesthat Mayor Vitalij Klitschko advised residents who have somewhere to take refuge in the countryside, to leave the city temporarily. In his evening address on Monday, Zelenskyi also informed that he perceives progress in the negotiations between the Ukrainian negotiating team and representatives of the United States. He said that most of the documents are ready for signature, but did not give further details.
According to the British station BBC, on Monday Zelensky negotiated with the Ukrainian team, which is finalizing a document with the United States on security guarantees for Ukraine. The document should then be submitted to the presidential level. “It has to be a document of historical importance, and that’s the level the text is now reaching,” wrote Zelensky on Telegram.
At the same time, Zelensky stated that he expects “clear feedback” from Moscow on the issue of ending the wara called for increased pressure on Russia if it does not do so. As an example worth following, he mentioned the measures against the so-called tankers. of the shadow fleet, as well as against financial schemes that, according to him, help “marginal regimes in other parts of the world to circumvent the imposed sanctions.” According to According to Zelensky, a similar approach “should also be applied to Russia: if it chooses war, the world’s response should be to limit Russia’s export income as much as possible.”.
At the same time, Zelensky expressed his belief that the upcoming World Economic Forum will also be beneficial for Ukraine and its post-war reconstructionwhich is traditionally held at the beginning of the year in the Swiss resort of Davos.
