Ukrainian intelligence has intercepted documents containing plans for new strikes — Russia is preparing attacks on cities and specific addresses inside the country, according to a post by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

What intelligence obtained

Specialists of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine obtained documents confirming that Russia is preparing new missile and drone strikes against Ukraine.

The plans include strikes on so-called decision-making centers. The targets reportedly include:

  • Nearly two dozen political centers;
  • Military command posts.

In particular, the published images show that potential targets include buildings in central Kyiv, the Presidential Administration with indicated offices of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on different floors, as well as the state residence of the head of state.

"But it should be noted, especially for the Russian leadership, that Ukraine is not Russia, and unlike the aggressor country, where there is a clear author of this war and his long-standing entourage that ensures his detachment from reality, the source of Ukraine’s defense is the willingness of the Ukrainian people to fight for their independence and their own sovereign state," said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
