Zelenskiy says new massive Russian attack possible this evening

​Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy ‌said Russian ​forces could again launch a massive attack on Ukraine on Tuesday ‌evening.

"According to our intelligence, another large-scale attack may occur tonight," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address after overnight ‌attacks by Russia's military killed 22 people across ‌the country. "Please, I strongly urge you to pay attention to air raid alerts."

Zelenskiy said 130 people had been injured in ⁠the ​overnight strikes, in ⁠which he said more than 70 missiles and 650 ⁠drones had been deployed. Russia launched new attacks throughout the day ​on Tuesday, deploying a further 100 drones. "Unfortunately, the ⁠current level of supplies for our air defence does not ⁠enable ​us to intercept a significant portion of the missiles," he said.

"All partners together, and everyone ⁠in Europe, must continue working to ensure that Ukraine receives ⁠air defence missiles, ⁠the necessary systems, vital intelligence and other resources that help save lives."
