Zelensky Warns of Massive Russian Missile Attack, New Mobilization Wave

President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a stark warning, alerting the nation to intelligence indicating Russia is preparing for a massive missile attack on Ukraine within the next 48 hours. This warning comes as part of a broader concern that Moscow is gearing up for a new wave of military mobilization this autumn, a move Zelensky attributes to Russia's increasing battlefield losses outpacing current recruitment rates.

“

We know, from the information of our intelligence services and our partners, that the Russians have prepared missiles for a new massive attack on Ukraine. The attack could happen today – we have preliminary information that it could occur in the next 48 hours. Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts.

In a video address, Zelensky urged Ukrainian citizens to remain vigilant and pay close attention to air raid alerts. "We know, from the information of our intelligence services and our partners, that the Russians have prepared missiles for a new massive attack on Ukraine. The attack could happen today – we have preliminary information that it could occur in the next 48 hours," he stated, emphasizing the need for personal safety.

The Ukrainian leader further elaborated on Russia's alleged plans, suggesting that President Putin intends to intensify attacks and expand the war, requiring more personnel. "At this moment, the Russians are losing more soldiers on the front than they are recruiting, and Putin intends to intensify attacks and expand this war. He needs more Russians to participate in assaults," Zelensky explained.

In light of these threats, Zelensky called for sustained international pressure on Russia, encompassing sanctions, diplomatic efforts, and targeted strikes on Russian military and energy infrastructure. He also highlighted his upcoming meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, expressing hope for continued American support to achieve a dignified peace. "We are preparing for the meeting with the President of America and his team," Zelensky added, referencing the visit of conservative influencer Laura Loomer to Ukraine as well.
