Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday evening warned of a possible new large-scale Russian attack in the coming hours, following an assault that killed and injured scores of people across Ukraine.<\/p>\n
A massive attack could take place “as soon as tonight,” Zelensky said in a video address, citing intelligence reports.<\/p>\n
Russia launched a wave of heavy air strikes against Ukraine overnight into Tuesday. Zelensky said the “brutal” operation killed 22 people and injured 130 others.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian president also said Russia had identified Ukrainian companies making progress in the development and production of missiles as priority targets.<\/p>\n
“We will respond,” he said.<\/p>\n
Russia has systematically targeted areas far from the front lines throughout its more than four-year-old war, with civilians wounded or killed on a daily basis. Residential buildings, schools and hospitals are frequently hit.<\/p>\n
Moscow had previously threatened retaliation following a Ukrainian strike on the Russian-controlled city of Starobilsk around a week and a half ago.<\/p>\n
According to occupation authorities the Luhansk, more than 20 civilians were killed in a dormitory building in Starobilsk during the Ukrainian attack.<\/p>\n
Kiev said the strike had targeted a Russian military drone unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
