Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky said on Saturday that the situation in the country was “under control” and urged Ukrainian citizens not to panic at the US warning of a possible Russian attack next week. “As president, I have to tell the truth to the population. And the truth is that we have different information. And now the enemy’s best friend is panic in our country. And all this information only helps panic and doesn’t help us,” he said. the head of state in a speech in the Kherson region, in the south of the country.
Zelensky, who has overseen Ukrainian military exercises in the region, said he could not say whether Russia would attack Ukraine in the coming days. “I can’t say whether I agree or disagree (with the US analysis). We collect information and analyze it. It’s not that simple, which is why I can’t give a simple answer,” he said, when asked about the alert from Washington.
He admitted that Russia could attack “any day”, as it did in 2014 in the east of the country, when Ukraine did not believe in the possibility. On the other hand, he insisted on the need to “analyze all the information we have, and there is a lot.” “If you or others have additional information about a 100% (guaranteed) invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, please let me know,” he added.
