Russia To “Intensify” Fighting, Zelensky Warns As EU Decision On Ukraine Looms

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Sunday that Russia was likely to intensify the “hostile activity” this week, because Kyiv was waiting for a historic decision from the European Union about its membership application.

Nearly three months after Russia launched a bloody invasion to his country, Zelensky said there were some decisive decisions for Ukraine” as expected from the EU this week, added in his night address that only positive decisions that exist in the interests of all Europe.”

Obviously, we hope that Russia intensifies hostile activities this week … we are preparing. We are ready,” he continued.

Ukraine said that his party had also been disgusted by new attacks by Russian troops on the eastern front, shaken by a fierce Sunday’s Sunday when Moscow tried to seize the Donbas industrial area.

Previously, Zelensky swore his troops would not surrender the southern country, after he visited the front lines there.

But Zelensky’s defiance came when NATO Head Jens Stoltenberg warned that war could be ground “for years” and urged Western countries to be ready to offer long-term military, political and economic assistance.

We must not weaken our support for Ukraine, even if the cost is high – not only in terms of military support but also due to an increase in energy and food prices,” Stoltenberg told the German Bild daily newspaper.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued a similar warning, said the failure to provide sustainable support for Kyiv would take the risk of “the biggest victory for aggression” since World War II.

Ukraine has repeatedly urged Western countries to increase their weapons delivery since the anniversary of February 24, despite a warning from Russia’s nuclear armed Russia that could trigger a broader conflict.

Zelensky spoke on Sunday after a rare trip outside Kyiv the day before to the City of Mykolaiv’s Black Sea, where he visited the nearby troops and in the neighboring area of Odessa for the first time since the invasion.

We will not give south to anyone, we will return everything we and the sea will become Ukraine and safe,” he said in a video posted on the telegram when he returned to Kyiv.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that on Sunday it launched a missile attack for the past 24 hours, with one attack by Kalibr missiles at a high -level Ukraine military meeting near the city of Dnipro killed more than 50 generals and officers”.

It is also said to target a building that accommodates weapons provided by the West in Mykolaiv, destroying “ten Howitzer 155mm and about 20 armored vehicles supplied by the West to the Kyiv regime for the past ten days”.

With Russia maintaining the Odessa blockade which has trapped the supply of seeds and threatens the global food crisis, residents have distracted their attention to gather efforts in front of the house.

Every day, including the weekend, I come to make a camouflage net for the Army,” said Natalia Pinchenkova, 49, behind the large union flag, a thank you for his support for his support for Ukraine.

Needed by sanctions that punish, Moscow has increased pressure on the European economy by reducing the supply of gas sharply, which in turn has made the energy price soaring.

ermany on Sunday announced emergency steps including increasing the use of coal to ensure meeting their energy needs after a decrease in Russian gas supply.

Austria also switched to coal, with its government announced on Sunday that they would reopen the Mothball Coal Power Plant to fight the deficiencies – although the process could take months.

Meanwhile, the Italian company Eni joined the Qatar Besar project to expand the production of the largest natural gas fields in the world, a few days after Russia cut supplies to Italy.
