Russia is preparing new missile strikes, the president of Ukraine stated on Sunday, adding that they "know this to be true."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in a video message on Telegram that Russia will "unfortunately" continue as long as they possess missiles.

"The upcoming week could be as challenging as the previous one. Our defense forces are preparing. The state as a whole is preparing, "he added.

Zelenskyy urged the nation to pay attention to air alerts during the week, stating that all possible scenarios have been analyzed, including with their partners.
