[74769] Zelensky warns: Russia is preparing for a large-scale aerial attack on Ukrainian cities
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on intelligence indicating Russian preparations for another massive attack, while issuing an urgent call to allies to provide ballistic missile defense systems.
Alert regarding a massive Russian attack
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned today, May 29, 2026, that according to Ukrainian intelligence data, Russia is completing preparations to carry out a massive attack on cities and communities throughout Ukraine. A report by the STERNENKO channel claims that the enemy is prepared to use strategic bombers and "Iskander" systems, with assessments indicating the possibility of an attack as early as tonight.
The Реальна Війна channel, identified with a firm pro-Ukrainian stance, specifies that the attack targets include energy infrastructure, railways, state institutions, and even residential areas in cities such as Kyiv and Lviv. According to these sources, an initial wave of "Shahed" drone strikes from the Kursk region has already begun, with the aim of exhausting Ukraine's air defense systems.
In a conversation with the Chancellor of Austria, Zelensky emphasized the urgent need for international assistance. As reported in Цензор.НЕТ, which highlights the importance of coordination with allies, the President stated: "It is very important to have a joint response from partners, primarily in the supply of anti-ballistic missile systems." The Ukrainian newspaper 'Ukrainska Pravda' also notes that political discussions are now focusing on strengthening "anti-ballistics" as a critical component for protecting civilian lives.
Military and political officials continue to update the public on the importance of heeding alerts. UKRAINIAN MILITANT called on the public to take the warnings seriously and to stay in shelters, while local authorities, such as the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Administration (via UA Stream), have confirmed the high probability of a combined attack in the immediate timeframe.
