“As the holidays approach, Russian terrorists may become active again,” Zelensky said in his daily video address Friday night. “They despise Christian values and all values in general. »
Mr. Zelensky urged Ukrainians to be more vigilant in the coming days. “Pay attention to air alerts, help each other and be very mindful of everyone,” he said. At the same time, he issued an unusually stern warning to Russia. “The citizens of Russia must clearly understand that terror never goes unanswered,” he said without giving further details.
In recent days, Ukrainian military officials have repeatedly warned of possible new attacks targeting the country’s infrastructure and energy supply. The army notably reported on Friday that a Russian naval unit was en route to the Black Sea, including a warship equipped with cruise missiles.
