Ukraine's Defense Minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, believes Russia would start a fresh attack on the one-year anniversary of the invasion on February 24.
Reznikov told a French TV network on Wednesday that Ukraine's armed forces are bracing for fresh, large-scale military action from Russia in the coming weeks.
"Given that they [the Russians] live in symbolism, we believe they will attempt something around February 24," Reznikov said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indicated on Thursday that his nation had plans to overshadow pro-Ukrainian gatherings throughout the globe to commemorate the first anniversary of the conflict, stating that Russian diplomats were working on something to guarantee that Western-led events were "not the only ones to grab the world's attention," without elaborating.
However, in Ukraine, search and rescue teams worked all night to locate any survivors of a fatal rocket strike on residential structures in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, yesterday night. On Thursday, further explosions were heard throughout the city.
