Ukraine "ready for any scenario" as Russia sets sights on new target

Ukrainian troops are preparing for "any scenario" in the south of the country's Kharkiv region, Kyiv's military insists, after Ukrainian sources warned Russia is preparing to launch a new push across the border from the eastern Luhansk region.

Kyiv's fighters are "ready for any scenario and development," Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Khortytsia grouping of forces in the east of the country, told Newsweek on Thursday.
