Zelensky warns Ukrainians of possible massive Russian air assault
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued an urgent warning on Friday afternoon, cautioning that Russia may be preparing to launch what could become one of the largest aerial attacks of the war in the coming hours.
In his statement, Zelensky urged citizens across the country to remain on high alert and immediately seek shelter whenever air raid sirens are activated.
The warning comes amid an intensifying cycle of long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides carrying out large-scale drone and missile attacks against military and strategic targets.
Ukrainian authorities have not disclosed specific intelligence details regarding the anticipated assault, but officials say civilians should closely follow official alerts and civil defense instructions.
The alert has raised concerns that another major escalation in the conflict could be imminent.
