Warning sirens sound for the second time today at Odessawhich is fortified and prepared for war.
According to SKAI’s envoy, Elli Kasoli, the residents are afraid that the city will be surrounded and that it is only a matter of time before the attacks start, either by land, by air or by sea.
In fact, the mayor of Odessa spoke about the possibility of the Russian army attempting to encircle Odessa from three sides.
As for the attacks from the sea, there are Russian ships for days in the Black Sea, while yesterday they tried to make their presence particularly felt.
If Russia succeeds in attacking from the sea, it automatically means a blockade on the only way out for Ukraine to the Black Sea.
The mayor of Odessa also said that the Russian army will try to advance from the territories it has occupied from Nikolaev to the region of Transnistria, where there is also a Russian army.
Strategically, this means that Odessa may be excluded from the rest of the country, reminiscent of Mariupol.
In Kyiv, a short distance from the city are the Russian troops, as according to information, after days of immobilization, they seem to be only 15 kilometers away. In addition to advancing on the northwestern route to Kyiv, troops are approaching along two parallel lines east of the capital.
In fact, as stated by the brother of the mayor of Kiev, the attack on the Ukrainian capital can happen “at any moment.”
Vladimir Klitschko, a member of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, a former boxing champion and brother of the mayor of Kiev, told CNN that Russian troops had attacked areas across Ukraine today, targeting the capital, Kiev. .
“In the coming days, we expect a major attack in the capital. They are reconstituted. They try to find different strategies and try to find the right way and the right time. “Every hour counts, and then we expect an attack on the capital at any time, especially, as I said, in the coming days,” he said.
He added that the will of the Ukrainian people remains strong, but needs support.
“We have a lot of equipment, military equipment and we will do everything possible, we try to surpass the Russian army as much as we can. I do not know how long we will endure, but we will endure as long as we can. What is really needed is international support. “You have to isolate Russia and the Russian economy.”
