Intelligence Warns of Russia’s Preparations for Major Strike as Zelensky Leads Defense Briefing

Russia Preparing for Large-Scale Attack

According to ХВИЛЯ: Intelligence reports indicate that Russia is gearing up for a significant offensive, a pressing issue addressed during a high-level defense briefing led by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The meeting brought together government officials, military leaders, and key agencies to focus on airspace security, including air defense strategies, hospital strikes, and logistical coordination.

Defense Minister and Air Force Commander provided updates on the allocation of air defense resources and protection of critical infrastructure.

"We are supplying the necessary gear for F-16s, interception systems, and anti-missile defenses. The biggest challenge remains ballistic missile defense, which depends entirely on our partners. We engage with them daily," President Zelensky emphasized.

Targeting of Medical Facilities

According to intelligence, Russian forces launched attacks on several medical centers in Kramatorsk and Kryvyi Rih within the last 24 hours. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) is responding swiftly across all regions. In response to Russian efforts to disrupt Ukrainian logistics, government and regional authorities have implemented additional logistical measures.

The president highlighted, "Today we received updated intelligence on Russia's preparation for a massive strike. We are actively preparing countermeasures, with deadlines set for many tasks, and the highest priorities are already underway." This underscores Ukraine’s serious commitment to safeguarding national security and readiness against potential threats from the aggressor.

In the current climate, Ukraine’s heightened military preparedness reflects a direct reaction to increasing Russian aggression. The recent attacks on healthcare facilities emphasize the urgent need to protect civilian infrastructure and strengthen air defense systems. The involvement of international partners in supplying defensive equipment remains vital to supporting Ukraine amid escalating dangers.
