Russia could soon launch a new attack on Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia city, according to a top Ukrainian official.

Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said Russian forces have reinforced at least five battalion tactical groups in Zaporizhzhia’s direction, according to a report by RBK Ukraine.

Moscow is either planning an attack on Zaporizhzhia or its forces will move toward Velika Novoselovka-Pokrovskoye to encircle Ukrainian units, the official said.​​​​​​​/agencies
