Kiev authorities have began preparations for a potential Russian “attack” on Ukraine. This was stated by the mayor Vitaly Klitschko in an interview with the German newspaper Bild.
According to the politician, there are now about 100,000 soldiers on the Russian-Ukrainian border. He noted that what was happening was an “unprecedented threat.”
Kličko said that the city was preparing for an “emergency situation”. Civil defense will be organized in Kiev and reservists will be recruited.
“We will not allow Russia to return us to the Soviet empire, in which the Ukrainian people do not want to be,” the mayor said. He added that Ukraine is a European country and now more than ever needs the support of Europe.
