Zelenskyy warns Ukrainians Russia is preparing a new large-scale attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on July 1 that Russia is preparing a new large-scale attack on Ukraine. He made the statement at a press conference in Dublin, Ireland.

Zelenskyy noted that Ukrainian intelligence has obtained data indicating the imminent offensive. He stressed that he and his team would return to Ukraine immediately after the press conference. The president called on citizens to be especially cautious, protect themselves, their children, and their families, and to take shelter when necessary.

He also emphasized that every tonne of raw materials reaching Russia is used against Ukraine and expressed gratitude to Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin for investigating the matter. Zelenskyy said: "We immediately see that as soon as Russia's economy shrinks, its ability to carry out massive attacks also decreases. And all of this is then reflected in the number of casualties in Ukraine."
