Ukrainian officials have warned that they are on “the eve of a very active phase of the war”, while President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested such a period had “started” already.
NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said earlier this week that “more than 200,000” Russian soldiers are “preparing for more war”.
