Quote: "Every day, including today and in the days ahead, please pay close attention to air-raid warnings. We understand who we are dealing with and what Russia is counting on. Instead of peace, they choose missiles."

Details: Zelenskyy issued the warning following a statement from the Air Force that there is a risk of Russia launching ballistic missiles from the Kapustin Yar test range over the next 24 hours. Russia has previously used this site to launch Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles.

Background:

• Russia's latest large-scale missile attack on Ukraine took place on the night of 1-2 June. Kyiv and Dnipro were among the main targets.
