Zelensky warns Ukrainians to prepare for further Russian attacks this winter

MADRID, 28 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky warned Ukrainian citizens on Sunday to prepare for the consequences of new Russian attacks, after he accused Russia of using cold against people.

"We understand that the terrorists (Russian troops) are preparing new attacks. We know for sure. And as long as they have missiles, unfortunately they will not stop," Zelensky said in the video that he records daily for the Ukrainian population.

"But our ability to help each other and take care of the most vulnerable, our mutual aid is one of the elements of protection against terror, as well as our strength," the president encouraged.

In this sense, he has once again called for unity among the citizens of the country, in addition to urging society to be attentive to air alerts.

"Together and helping each other we will also overcome this challenge of war: this winter, this attempt by Russia to use cold against people," the Ukrainian president said.

Zelenski made these statements after this Sunday most of the country's regions were able to recover the electricity supply that was damaged after the bombardments of Russian troops against energy infrastructure last week.

With these words, the Ukrainian leader joins the accusations of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who assured this weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to use winter as a weapon.

Stoltenberg once again recalled "how dangerous" it is for the population to "depend on Russia for gas." "Now we have to assess our dependence on authoritarian regimes, especially China," he said.
