Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia is preparing a “massive” attack on Ukraine, urging residents to pay close attention to air raid warnings
“Tonight and in the coming hours, it is especially important to pay close attention to air raid warnings. The Russians have prepared for a massive attack. Please take care of yourselves,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
The warning came as Russian strikes across several Ukrainian regions killed at least six people on Saturday, according to local officials.
In the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, Russian glide bomb attacks killed five people and injured 10, regional governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. He said the city had endured nine strikes, damaging residential buildings and other infrastructure.
Near the Russian border, one person was killed in a bomb attack on the outskirts of Sumy, local officials said. In the southern Kherson region, one person was killed in a drone attack on a village north of the regional capital, according to regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin.
Three children were also injured when the central city of Poltava came under Russian shelling, local officials said.
Russia has carried out a series of heavy attacks on Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities in recent weeks. Strikes last Monday killed 10 people across the country and badly damaged the Pechersk Lavra monastery, a 1,000-year-old site regarded as a symbol of Ukraine’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine would continue its campaign of medium- and long-range strikes, focused on Russia’s oil sector. He said Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Tyumen region in western Siberia on Saturday, and that Ukrainian drones also hit Moscow’s oil refinery twice this week.
