Moscow will soon target Ukrainian cities in another major missile-and-drone attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on July 1.

Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian intelligence suggests the strike will be carried out within days. He made the remarks during a press conference after a ceremony marking the start of Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union.

“Today there is very troubling information about the preparation of another Russian large-scale strike,” the president said.

“We have intelligence, and immediately after our press conference I will quickly return to Ukraine with my team.”

Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians to heed air-raid alerts and take shelter accordingly.

“I ask our people to be especially careful, to protect themselves, their children and families, to use shelters, and pay attention to air-raid alerts,” he added.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
