According to intelligence reports, Russia is preparing for new massive strikes against Ukraine.

This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a video address, Ukrinform reports.

"There are specific tasks today for air defense and the military. We now have information from intelligence that the Russians are preparing for new massive strikes. We are talking honestly with our partners about missiles for air defense and about the systems we so desperately need. Supplies are insufficient. We are trying to speed things up, and it is important that our partners hear us. Much is being done now at the level of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. But still, please pay attention to air raid sirens. Please help those who are close to you, who are alone, who need your support," Zelensky said.
