Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of possible Russian attacks in the upcoming holidays and holiday season. “With the approaching holidays, the Russian terrorists could become active again,” Zelenskyj said in his daily video address on Friday night. “They despise Christian values and all values in general.”
Zelenskyy urged the Ukrainians to be extra vigilant in the coming days. At the same time, he issued an unusually harsh warning to Russia. “The citizens of Russia must clearly understand that terror never goes unanswered,” he said – without further details.
‘Enemy has increased the volume of rail transport’
According to Ukrainian reconnaissance, Russian forces are bringing reinforcements to their troops on the fronts in eastern and southern Ukraine. “The enemy has increased the volume of rail transport of troops, equipment and ammunition to combat zones,” the general staff said in Kiev on Friday. The areas around the front-line city of Bakhmut in the east, as well as the cities of Avdiivka, Kupyansk and Limansk in the Donbass region, were considered key combat zones.
Reinforcements on the Russian side were also recognized in the south of the country. However, the new units in the Kherson region would only be used to expand the defense lines. The information could not be independently verified.
