Zelenskyy says Russia seeking location of Ukraine’s leadership ahead of further attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Russia has intensified efforts to identify political and military targets in Kyiv for future strikes, including buildings on Bankova Street, where Ukraine’s presidential administration is located.

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian intelligence services have obtained Russian documents detailing planned targets for future attacks in the capital and other cities across the country.

“We also have Russian documents outlining targets for strikes on Kyiv and other cities — political and military sites where army leadership and government officials may be located, including here on Bankova Street,” he said.

“They have been preparing this plan for a long time and, after Iran, they have become active again — searching for where we are located,” Zelensky added.

The President said the threat concerned not only himself personally, but also other representatives of Ukraine’s military-political leadership, intelligence agencies and special services.

Zelenskyy stressed that attempts to intimidate or eliminate Ukraine’s leadership would not alter the country’s position.

“Some people in Moscow still do not understand that Ukrainians will never surrender their independence. Under any circumstances — whether on Bankova Street or elsewhere — we will not give up our land, our sovereignty or our state,” he said.
