“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.

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.
