President Volodymyr Zelenskyi stated that the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine was quite real and the state was ready for it.
Zelenskyi stated in a conversation with a CNN journalist during a trip to Donbas.
"Of course (the possibility of Russia's invasion is real – ed.). We know this: since 2014, it can be any day. They (Russia – ed.) are ready, but we're also ready because it's our land and our territory," Zelenskyi told the journalist.
As Rubryka reported, on April 8, Zelenskyi was on a working trip to eastern Ukraine.
He visits the front lines, where a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire has been systematically violated recently, and where Ukrainian defenders have been killed and wounded because of enemy shelling.
To recap, recently the situation in Donbas worsened. The joint forces suffer casualties almost daily from militant shelling and landmines. Since the beginning of 2021, 23 servicemen have died in Donbas, ten of them, since March 26.
Also, Kravchuk urgently addressed the OSCE Special Representative.
