Zelenskiy warns of possible massive Russian attackmassive Russian attack on Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that the warning of a possible massive Russian strike on Ukraine remained in effect, and on Tuesday he said a new attack could come later in the day.
He urged residents to pay close attention to air raid alerts while calling on partners in Europe and elsewhere to keep supplying air defence missiles, systems and intelligence.
The warning underlines the continuing risk to civilians and the importance of outside military support as the war grinds on.
Ukrainian Perspective
Zelenskiy presented the warning as a live threat to civilians and infrastructure, not a routine security message. He also linked the risk to Ukraine's need for more air defence missiles, systems and intelligence from partners.
Russian Perspective
The articles do not quote Russian officials, but the warnings reflect Kyiv's expectation that Moscow may again use large-scale strikes to pressure Ukraine. From that view, air raid alerts and air defences remain central to Ukraine's wartime readiness.
- Kyiv has used the metro and other shelters as civilian protection during repeated air attacks.
- Ukraine's air defences depend heavily on Western-supplied systems and ammunition.
- Moscow and Kyiv both use long-range strikes to try to weaken the other side's logistics and morale.
Russia-Ukraine War
Russia and Ukraine are locked in an retaliatory long-range drone and missile war that now strikes deep into both countries, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Crimea, and major Ukrainian cities like Kyiv and Dnipro. Ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone attacks on June 26, striking 12 Russian regions and hitting key energy targets, while Russia continues massive retaliatory bombardments that kill civilians and destroy infrastructure.
