Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned citizens late Saturday that Ukrainian intelligence indicates Russia is preparing another large-scale missile and drone attack in the near future, urging people to heed air-raid alerts immediately. The warning follows a similar alert he issued Saturday evening for the same night.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a fresh warning late Saturday night that Ukrainian intelligence indicates Russia is preparing another large-scale missile and drone attack in the coming hours, urging citizens to take air-raid alerts seriously and immediately go to shelters when sirens sound.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday evening (published at 22:23 Jerusalem), Zelensky had already warned of an imminent large-scale attack on Saturday night itself, citing intelligence assessments. The new warning, posted shortly before 01:00 Sunday, appears to reinforce or update the earlier alert. It is not yet clear whether the two warnings refer to the same anticipated attack wave, or whether Zelensky is signaling an extended or additional threat window.
The Ukrainian leader has issued multiple similar warnings in recent days. On Thursday June 18, he cautioned that if the war continues, Ukraine will retaliate forcefully against Russia. On Friday June 19, he gave Belarus a one-week ultimatum to remove military equipment used to coordinate Russian strikes from the border, after tightening an earlier one-day deadline. The Russian Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, has threatened massive strikes on Ukrainian military targets.
The Zioneer’s assessment, based on the source material alone, rates the warning as credible but single-source. Further corroboration from additional Ukrainian or Western officials is pending.
