Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Sunday that Russia is preparing a large-scale offensive in Ukraine between US Independence Day and the NATO summit scheduled to take place in Turkey this week. The warning comes as fighting continues along the front lines.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Sunday evening that Russia is preparing a large-scale attack on Ukraine between US Independence Day (July 4) and the upcoming NATO summit in Turkey, which is scheduled for this week. The warning was issued in a statement, according to reports.
The alert comes amid ongoing fighting across multiple fronts. On July 1, The Zioneer reported that Russia had signaled an imminent large-scale missile and drone strike on Ukraine, with Zelensky cutting short a visit to Ireland as a result.
The timing of the warning — ahead of the NATO summit — suggests Kyiv expects a significant escalation before alliance leaders meet to discuss further support for Ukraine. No specifics on the planned attack were provided.
