President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine issued a warning on Sunday, indicating that Russia is gearing up to escalate its offensive along Ukraine's northern border. This comes as the death toll climbed to 14 following an aerial bomb attack on a construction supplies store in Kharkiv. The devastating bombing in Kharkiv on Saturday resulted in 43 injuries and left 16 individuals missing, according to Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov.
Zelenskyy, in a video statement from Kharkiv, expressed concerns about Russia's preparations for offensive actions approximately 90 kilometers northwest of Ukraine's second-largest city. While the exact location of the troop assembly was not disclosed, there is heightened worry about the Sumy region, with both Kharkiv and Sumy being in close proximity to the Russian border.
