Zelensky warns Ukraine could face a major overnight Russian strike
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia could launch a major strike overnight. The warning comes as Kyiv pushes its allies for additional Patriot interceptor missiles, which Ukraine says are crucial to countering a surge in Russian ballistic missile attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia could launch a major strike overnight, urging civilians and defense forces to remain on alert. The warning follows weeks of escalating tension along the front lines.
Zelensky's statement coincides with Kyiv's push for additional Patriot air defense missiles from its allies. Ukrainian officials say the systems are vital to countering Russia's intensifying campaign of ballistic missile attacks.
Talks continue among Western allies over accelerating missile deliveries, while gaps in Ukraine's air defense capacity remain a source of concern. Analysts say the coming days will test both the pace of Russia's strikes and the West's response.
