Military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko stated that Russia is preparing a new ballistic strike on Ukraine and signs of such preparation are already being recorded. He urged Ukrainians to stay vigilant in the coming days.
This is what Oleksandr Kovalenko wrote in his Telegram channel. The analyst emphasized that the situation on the diplomatic front remains feigned. According to him, the Russian side deliberately stalls on negotiations to halt fire, because a real end to hostilities is not in its interest.
"The enemy is preparing a ballistic strike; signs of preparation are present. Parallely, Russian 'diplomats' are stalling on any real steps to halt fire, because that is not in their realistic zone of interest," wrote military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko.
Kovalenko urged Ukrainians to maintain heightened vigilance in the coming days, without specifying details about possible timing or scale of the attack.
Why negotiations do not bring the war closer to an end
According to the analyst, the Russian side uses the negotiation process as a tool to buy time, not as a real path to a ceasefire. In his view, this allows Moscow to continue military preparations while simulating diplomatic activity.
Similar warnings about Russia's preparations for massive strikes are regularly published by Ukrainian monitors and analysts, and they are not always confirmed by an actual attack on the same day. Nevertheless, experts do not advise ignoring such signals, because they are based on intelligence data, not on assumptions.
Previously, Informator reported that the Russian Federation was preparing a new massive strike on Ukraine in the coming 48 hours, according to U.S. intelligence, which at that time recorded accumulation of up to 20 ballistic missiles of various types.
We also wrote that Russia violated two unwritten rules of war by striking the Zhulyany airport and the SBU building in Kyiv, and the same analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko then stressed the need for a mirror response.
