Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Russia is preparing a new massive attack on Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia is planning a new major attack on Ukraine, based on intelligence. He made the comments in a Telegram post about his meeting with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the UN General Assembly in New York. Zelenskiy stressed that Ukraine is in constant communication with allies to secure new anti-aircraft defenses. He also said there can be no easing of sanctions against Russia while Ukrainians live under daily threat of missile and drone attacks. Russian forces have recently changed tactics, launching constant barrages throughout the day and using jet-powered drones that evade air defenses.
