Russia's Defense Ministry said it will step up strikes on Ukrainian military and defense-industry facilities, along with related infrastructure, in Kyiv and other regions of the country, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
The ministry's statement came after remarks attributed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding the war's trajectory, though the specific content of those remarks was not detailed in the available report.
TASS did not specify a timeline for the announced escalation or name particular targets beyond describing them broadly as military and defense-industry facilities and associated infrastructure in Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions.
The statement is consistent with a pattern of mutual warnings between Moscow and Kyiv over strikes on military, energy and industrial infrastructure that has characterized the war in recent periods, with each side citing the other's actions as justification for further strikes.
No independent confirmation of the planned strikes, nor a response from Ukrainian officials, was available at the time of this report.
