Kyiv • UNN
Russia is preparing for an offensive and is amassing troops 90 kilometers northwest of Kharkiv near the Ukrainian border, President Zelenskiy says.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saidthat Russia is preparing for an offensive and that another group of Russian troops is gathering 90 kilometers from Kharkiv to the northwest - near the Ukrainian border. He said this in a video message against the backdrop of a printing house destroyed by Russia in Kharkiv, UNN reports .
Behind me are books that were burned by Russian missiles. It was one of the largest publishing houses in Ukraine. People were injured here. Unfortunately, there are some dead. The burning temperature here did not have time to finally reach 451 degrees Fahrenheit. But this is exactly what the leaders of Russia are striving for and want - even higher temperatures. And not only on the sovereign territory of Ukraine. Russia threatens almost all of its neighboring states
He emphasized that Russia is the only state that has seized a nuclear power plant and is openly using it for radiation blackmail.
There is nothing that would not become a weapon for Russia, including hunger, and this is exactly what the world felt when Ukraine was hit by Russia's naval blockade. Russia is the only source of aggression and is constantly trying to expand the war. Just now, these days, we are defending ourselves 60 kilometers northeast of this place from another attempted Russian offensive. Russia is preparing for an offensive and 90 kilometers northwest of here, another group of troops is gathering near our border. Whoever is doing all this does not want peace
