According to Ukrinform, Zelensky made the statement on his official Telegram channel.

"I received a report from Air Force Commander Anatolii Kryvonozhko. The Russians prepared a massive attack several days ago, and there is a high probability that the strike will be carried out tonight," the President wrote.

Zelensky stressed that it is crucial for Ukraine's international partners to fully understand the current situation, emphasizing that their willingness to provide additional air defense missiles directly affects the protection of civilian lives.

"It is important that our partners fully understand what is happening and that the protection of lives directly depends on their readiness, or lack thereof, to help us with air defense missiles. First and foremost, this concerns the United States and those partners that have Patriot missiles and can provide them to support our defense," he said.
