Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia could be preparing a massive missile and drone strike on Ukraine. He called for paying attention to air alert signals.
The president announced this in an address dated March 23.
“Today, pay attention to the alarm signals. There is information from intelligence that the Russians may be preparing a massive strike. We have already issued corresponding orders for air defense,” Zelensky said.
The president noted that there will be “tangible responses” to the fact that Belarus continues to help Russia wage war against Ukraine by providing territory.
“It was already the case that special equipment was installed on the territory of Belarus to support attacks by the “Shaheeds” against Kyiv and our northern regions along the Belarusian border. Unfortunately, this then intensified Russian strikes. But we acted and eliminated the relevant antennas. Now we have information from our intelligence that Russia is going to continue to use the territory of Belarus and the still temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine to build ground control stations for long-range drones,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky also said that the SBU “prevented crimes on the territory of our state.” “We cannot publicly discuss the details now, but I am grateful to the SBU for this protection of our people,” the president said.
