An official from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office warned that Russia may be planning for a future ground attack on Kyiv and Chernihiv, near the country’s northern border with Belarus.

Deputy head of the Ukrainan president office Pavlo Palisa told reporters that although there is not yet any evidence that Russian troops are mobilizing for a ground offensive, Ukrainian intelligence suggests that the Kremlin is preparing for a possible offensive in the two northern cities.
