Ukraine warns Russia could 'intensify' attacks on the country as Moscow presses its campaign – now in its 117th day – to win total control of the Donbass region Follow our live coverage:👇
Russian forces are trying to take complete control of the eastern Donbass region, parts of which were already held by Russian-backed separatists before February 24 attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia was likely to intensify its "hostile activity" this week, as Kiev awaits a historic decision from the European Union on its membership application.
Nearly three months after Russia launched a bloody assault on his country, Zelenskyy said there had been "few such fateful decisions for Ukraine" as the one it expects from the EU this week, adding in his address that "only a positive decision is in the interests of the whole of Europe." "Obviously, we expect Russia to intensify hostile activity this week ... We are preparing. We are ready," he continued.
