Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a conversation with Austrian Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker that Russia is preparing a new large-scale strike against Ukrainian cities and communities.

The Ukrainian leader said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"I spoke with the Federal Chancellor of Austria, Christian Stocker. I am grateful for his condolences over the continued Russian aerial attacks. I informed the Chancellor about our intelligence data indicating that the Russians are preparing a new massive strike against Ukrainian cities and communities. It is very important that partners provide joint responses to these attacks, primarily through the supply of anti-ballistic capabilities," Zelensky said.

He noted that the conversation also focused on Ukraine's European integration process.

"We expect the first cluster to be opened as early as June. This is fair, and Ukrainians deserve it," Zelensky said.
