The Ukrainian leader has warned Russia of a “powerful response” to any attacks timed to coincide with Ukraine’s Independence Day tomorrow.
“This response will grow, it will get stronger and stronger,” Volodymyr Zelensky told a news conference during a visit by Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, Reuters news agency reports.
Duda added that Zelensky and his compatriots were fighting “in defence of the integrity of the Ukrainian state”.
Zelensky has speculated that Moscow could “try something particularly ugly” to coincide with Wednesday’s celebrations marking Ukraine’s breakaway from Soviet rule in 1991.
