Ukrainian President Zelensky has called on his country's defenders to prepare for significant Russian military actions, emphasizing the urgency of implementing agreements from the Munich Security Conference regarding defense support.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stressed the need for his country's defenders to prepare for an imminent large-scale Russian assault. He highlighted the importance of implementing the agreements made during the recent Munich Security Conference, which focused on increased military aid to Ukraine. This call to action comes in response to heightened tensions and recent developments on the battlefield.
In January, Russia launched a staggering 91 ballistic missiles at Ukraine, marking the highest number fired in a single month since the onset of the war. This surge in missile strikes has raised alarms within Ukraine, prompting the government to accelerate the delivery of air defense missiles, a constant priority for Ukrainian officials amid ongoing military engagements. Zelensky's remarks reflect the urgent need for preparedness in the face of increased Russian hostilities.
On the ground, Russian forces are intensifying their offensive in the regions north of Pokrovsk, continuing efforts to encircle the city and its satellite town, Mirnohrad. Both locations have been nearly completely occupied by Russian troops, and the situation on the front lines remains critical as Ukraine grapples with the repercussions of ongoing attacks on its energy infrastructure. As the country approaches the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, initiatives to support Ukraine, such as fundraising drives in Latvia, aim to provide aid amidst the ongoing conflict.
