Russia-Ukraine war: Russia will attack Ukraine today, President Zelensky fears, warns the people of the country

Today Ukraine is celebrating Independence Day, but on this day Russia can make a big attack on Ukraine. President Zelensky has expressed such fears. Four days ago, Zelensky warned the people of his country that - 'This week Russia may try to do something very bad, especially something poisonous.' At the same time, the governor of Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv issued a warning to its citizens, saying - 'Stay at home and heed the warning'. Curfew has been imposed in Kharkiv in view of Russian firing.

According to the report of Ukrainian NGO Startcom this week - 'Russia is engaged in deploying missiles and mobilizing weapons near the Ukrainian border. There is a clear threat of mass shootings with S-300 missiles over Ukraine. Several Russian trains have reached the Ukrainian border before 20 August. It is clear that Russia is preparing to launch a major attack on Ukraine on August 24.

According to the report of US intelligence agencies- 'We have information that Russia is intensifying efforts to launch attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and government buildings in the coming days. Given Russia's track record in Ukraine, we are concerned about the risk to civilians and civilian infrastructure as a result of a Russian attack.

Based on these reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the governor of the city of Kharkiv have cautioned the people of their country to be vigilant.

On 24 August 1991, that is, 30 years ago, Ukraine declared independence from Soviet Russia. As soon as it became independent, Ukraine started trying to get rid of Russian influence and for this it increased its closeness with the western countries. In 2010, Russia-backed Viktor Yanukovich became the President of Ukraine. Yanukovich forged close ties with Russia and rejected Ukraine's decision to join the European Union which caused strong opposition in Ukraine. For this reason, Viktor Yanukovich had to step down in 2014.
