War on Wednesday? Ukraine declares ‘day of unity’

Published

on

Ukrainian President Zelensky says he has been informed that Russia will attack on Wednesday, February 16

The President’s office says Zelensky’s statement that Wednesday will be ‘day of attack’ was said with irony.

Ukrainian officials told reporters in Kyiv that Zelensky was not being literal about an attack on Wednesday.

This comes as Ukraine’s president declares that Wednesday will be a ‘unity day’ in response to an expected Russian attack

There was an 8 minute video accompanying the bold facebook post, where he urged state officials, politicians, and business leaders who had left the country to return to show support amid fears of the invasion. 

Zelensky tends to play down suggestions that an attack could happen soon and did not say who had suggested the date of February 16

The comments from the Ukrainian leader was posted on Facebook, heightening tensions between Kyiv and Moscow.

Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border.

Officials from Ukraine, Russia and NATO nations have engaged in diplomatic discussions for weeks, but the conversations did not bear any breakthroughs.

Moscow has continually denied having any such plans, with the west hoping Russia would choose diplomacy over invasion.

Zelensky wrote in a statement on Facebook that Ukraine will hold a Day of Unity on Wednesday.

FACEBOOK POST FROM UKRAINE PM

He said, “We are told that February 16 will be the day of the attack,” according to a Facebook translation of his comments.

“We are intimidated by a great war and once again set the date of the military invasion. This is not the first time. But our state is stronger today than ever.”

President Biden spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, and warned that “swift and severe costs” would follow if Moscow invaded Ukraine.

A further eight American F-15 fighter jets have touched down in Poland, all joining NATO’s coordinated air policing mission but US says it does not believe Russia’s Putin has made ‘final decision’ on whether to invade Ukraine.

UK PM Boris Johnson says the ‘window for diplomacy’ remains

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
