Russia is preparing for a new attack on Sumy and Kharkiv this spring, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his interview with Le Figaro, APA reports.
"Vladimir Putin is trying to gain time and is specifically preparing for a new attack on the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. We are preparing for this upcoming operation," Zelensky said.
He also noted that Putin wanted to begin this operation 8 months ago, but the Kursk operation hindered it, so now Putin needs more time.
