Zelenskiy warns of new Russian operations in Europe
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Russia is preparing new military operations in Europe as he indirectly expressed support for US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. "We are seeing a further intellectual regression on the part of the Russian leadership and have evidence that it is preparing new military operations in Europe," Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram. The leader said he had been briefed on the current situation by the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service, Kyrylo Budanov. Zelenskiy said he intends to discuss the details of the Russian military operations with Kyiv's partners. "We will inform our partners about the facts uncovered by our intelligence services," he wrote. "We are preparing joint defence decisions, in particular with the United Kingdom and the European Union." The warning came as an overnight Russian drone attack on Kyiv injured at least five civilians, sparked fires in residential areas and damaged an entrance to a metro station, Ukrainian authorities said on Monday. Metro stations are used as bomb shelters in Ukraine during Russian attacks. Earlier, three people were killed in a Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian military training area, the Ukrainian armed forces said. Another 11 people were injured in the attack, with further casualties prevented due to a timely warning by airspace surveillance, the Ukrainian army command said on Facebook on Sunday. The exact location of the military site was not disclosed. The Russian Defence Ministry detailed an attack on a Ukrainian military training ground in the southern Kherson region but said 70 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed by an Iskander ballistic missile. The information provided by the two sides could not be independently verified. It comes just a few weeks after at least 12 recruits were killed and dozens injured in a Russian attack on a military training area in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, according to official reports. The attack led to a reshuffle within the leadership of the Ukrainian command. Speaking in his nightly address, Zelenskiy also warned against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as he indirectly expressed support for the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. "There must be no proliferation of nuclear weapons in the modern world," Zelenskiy said in his regular video address. "It is important that there is American resolve on this, the resolve of President (Donald) Trump," he added. The Ukrainian president said Russia is using Iranian Shahed drones in the war in Ukraine. "Iran's decisions to support Russia have brought massive destruction and devastating human losses to our country, and to many others." At the same time, Zelenskiy called for a focus on diplomacy. "Diplomacy has to start working. Working everywhere: in the Middle East, in the Gulf region, and here in Europe - in Ukraine," he said.
