Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cut short his visit to Dublin on Wednesday, warning that the Kremlin would soon launch a new large-scale attack on Ukraine.
Zelenskyy was attending the first day of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union and, during a press conference with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, told reporters he would leave Ireland immediately.
“We know that Putin has been preparing this massive strike against Ukraine for some time,” Zelenskyy said. “Tonight, that is the threat we are facing,” he continued, warning his citizens to heed air raid alerts.
