Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Telegram that intelligence indicates Russia is preparing a new massive attack against Ukraine. He made the comment while noting his recent meeting with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Zelenskiy added that Ukraine is in constant communication with its allies to secure additional anti‑aircraft defences. He argued that any discussion of easing sanctions on Russia would be impossible while Ukrainians continue to face daily missile and drone threats.
He highlighted that Russian forces, which have long carried out large‑scale overnight attacks using drones and missiles, have recently altered their tactics. The attacks now include continuous barrages throughout the day, and Moscow has deployed jet‑powered drones that operate at higher altitudes, making them harder for existing air‑defence systems to intercept and causing wider disruption to businesses, government operations and civilian life.
During his time in New York, Zelenskiy also spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump about efforts to end the war, including the possibility of a bilateral ceasefire focused on energy‑related targets.
On the ground, Russian troops are advancing slowly in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, but the front line has seen little change over the past several months.
