Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Russia is preparing for a major attack. And this attack may start on February 24. On this day last year, Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. BBC News.
Reznikov also said that Moscow had deployed tens of thousands of troops. Now they will 'try to do something' to mark the anniversary of last year's attacks.
But Russia's attack on Ukraine continues. Meanwhile, three people were killed in an attack in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. Seven people were wounded in a Russian missile attack on a residential building in a town in the Donetsk region, the provincial governor said. He said that the number of injured in this attack may increase.
In a post on social media after the attack, Ukrainian President Zelensky said the only way to stop Russian terrorism is to defeat it. They have to be defeated by tanks, fighter jets, and long-range missiles.
Recently, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom have pledged to help Ukraine with tanks. And after this promise, Ukraine again asked these countries for warplanes. However, the United States and Germany have said that they will not be able to provide warplanes.
Amidst these attacks, Ukraine's defense minister claimed that Russia had now mobilized around 500,000 troops for new attacks. Meanwhile, in September 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the readiness of 300,000 reserve troops.
At the time he said the military buildup was necessary to protect "the integrity of Russia." However, even though the defense minister of Ukraine said to increase 300,000 reserve troops, in reality, it is much more.
"Officially they say three hundred thousand soldiers. But when we see their troops on the border, it's much more. According to the information we have, they have amassed more than three hundred thousand soldiers. Soldiers
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US military think tank, recently said that "Russia may make a major decision" and launch a "major offensive" in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine's defense minister, however, spoke of their capabilities. He said the Ukrainian army had prepared for an alleged imminent attack by Russia. He said, 'I believe 2023 can be the year of our military victory. He said the recent successes of the Ukrainian troops on the battlefield will not be allowed to go to waste.
Ukraine's defense minister said this a few days before Ukrainian intelligence claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered his army commanders to fully occupy the eastern "Donbas" by spring.
But NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said they did not indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin was aiming only to capture Donbas. Stoltenberg claims that Russia is still developing new weapons, stockpiling weapons, and gathering troops to attack other parts of Ukraine. "We have seen no sign of Putin backing down from his plans to control, control and annex Ukraine," he said.
