Ukraine braces warnings of a missile strike on eve of war anniversary

• The Russian government is celebrating Defender of the Fatherland Day.

On the eve of the anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Ukraine has awoken to threats of impending attacks.

Russia is “planning a limited missile strike on the 23rd and 24th of February,” according to military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov.

He went on to say that such attacks were common in Ukraine and that it would be “nothing out of the usual” for the country.

“Trust me. We’ve had it over 20 times already,” he told Ukrayinska Pravda.

Nonetheless, high-level political trips to Ukraine continue, with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visiting today.

The Russian government appears to be stubborn – they’re celebrating Defender of the Fatherland Day, a national holiday.

President Vladimir Putin stated yesterday that Russia is focusing on strengthening its military forces after withdrawing from a bilateral nuclear weapons control accord with the United States.
