Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday claimed that Russia is prolonging the war with his country.
Zelenskyy said his while suggesting what Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning amid the ongoing war between both countries.
In a tweet via his X account, the Ukraine leader said the Russian army is building up forces to attack Sumy region as Putin intends to keep ignoring diplomatic overtures.
“I received a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. Defense of our positions in the Donetsk region and other frontline areas. I am grateful to all Ukrainian units for their resilience and effectiveness in destroying the occupier. The situation in the Pokrovsk direction has been stabilized,” Zelenskyy wrote.
“A separate note on the Kursk region. The operation of our forces in the designated areas of the Kursk region continues. The units are carrying out their tasks exactly as required.
“Thanks to the Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region, a significant number of Russian forces were withdrawn from other directions. Our troops continue to hold back Russian and North Korean groupings in the Kursk region. There is no encirclement of our troops.
“We are also observing directions along our eastern border of Ukraine, where the Russian army is building up forces. This indicates an intention to attack our Sumy region. We are aware of this, and will counter it. I would like all partners to understand exactly what Putin is planning, what he is preparing for, and what he will be ignoring.
“The buildup of Russian forces indicates that Moscow intends to keep ignoring diplomacy. It is clear that Russia is prolonging the war. We are ready to provide our partners with all the real information on the situation at the front, in the Kursk region, and along our border.
“Today there were also reports on our missile program. We have tangible results. The long Neptune missile was tested and successfully used in combat. A new Ukrainian missile, precise strike. The range of one thousand kilometers. I thank our Ukrainian developers, manufacturers and military personnel. We continue our work to ensure the security of Ukraine.
“Also today, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine delivered a report on new support packages from our partners. We are securing artillery supplies. I am grateful to all the partners who are helping.”
This is coming less than 24 hours after Zelenskyy said on Friday that he saw a good chance to end the war with Russia after Ukraine accepted a United States proposal for a 30-day interim ceasefire.
