Zelensky said Ukrainians should not allow Moscow to succeed in “spreading despair and fear” ahead of the August 24 celebrations.
According to a news agency, Zelensky said in a video that ‘we should all be aware that this week Russia may try to do something particularly ugly, something especially vicious.’
Zelensky also referred to a recent series of recent explosions in Crimea in his speech.

Analysts say at least some have been carried out by new equipment used by its military.
While the region’s governor, Oleh Sinehub, said that the curfew in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, is going to be extended for a full day on Wednesday.
The curfew usually lasts from 10 pm to 6 am. Kharkiv is under constant Russian shelling. In a message written on the Telegram messaging app, Cinehub asked citizens to stay at home and heed the warnings.
Ukrainian officials said a Russian missile also hit a residential area not far from a nuclear power station in the southern Ukrainian city on Saturday, injuring 14 civilians.
Ukrainian officials said the attack on the Pivdnoukrensk (south Ukraine) nuclear station and fresh shelling near Europe’s largest Zaporizhzhya station have rekindled fears of a nuclear accident.
