Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that Russia is expected to carry out another major attack overnight, according to a social media post.
“The Russians prepared a massive strike several days ago, and there is a high probability it will occur tonight,” he wrote on X.
“Across all regions of Ukraine, we urge you to monitor air raid alerts and stay safe,” he added.
Zelensky also repeated his call for Ukraine’s allies to provide the missiles that the country’s air defense system requires.
On Tuesday, Zelensky held discussions with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump at the White House, where they explored the possibility of Ukraine producing Patriot interceptors.
In early July, Trump had expressed his intention to allow Ukraine to manufacture these surface-to-air missiles, a time when Russia escalated its ballistic missile strikes.
Only American Patriot systems are capable of intercepting such missiles, yet Ukraine desperately lacks the PAC-3 interceptors required for this defense.
This shortage has worsened since the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran in February.
