Natalya Gomenyuk, spokeswoman for the Ukrainian Army’s Southern Command, revealed on Sunday that Russia is preparing a “massive attack” on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
Gomenyuk said, in an interview with the Ukrainian Channel 24, that “the mission of the Russians is terrorism.”
Regarding the possible attack, the Ukrainian official explained that “the Russian forces are preparing for an intense attack, and it could happen on any day… and we know that the enemy does not care whether the attack is day or night.”
The Ukrainian authorities are taking the necessary precautions, according to Gomenyuk.

“For nearly two weeks, the enemy has not launched massive missile strikes, however, this pause may end at any time,” the spokeswoman continues, stressing that the Ukrainian army is strengthening protection at power plants and other critical infrastructure.
“Russia has also strengthened its presence in the Black Sea,” Gomenyuk noted.
The Ukrainian official concluded, saying, “There are 21 ships, including 4 Caliber missile carriers, with a total of 24 missiles, and since there are also two submarine carriers, it is difficult for us to monitor missile launches, so warnings of air strikes must be dealt with seriously.” .
On February 24, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, which was followed by angry international reactions and the imposition of “tough” economic and financial sanctions on Moscow.
Russia requires to end the process Ukraine’s abandonment of any plans to join military entities, including NATO, and its commitment to complete neutrality, which Kyiv considers “interfering with its sovereignty.”
