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.

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.
