The date was chosen to coincide with that feared by the American intelligence services for the outbreak of a Russian invasion. Ukraine celebrates this Wednesday a “Day of Unity” at the call of its President Volodymyr Zelensky, its citizens being invited to hang their national flag or display its blue and yellow colors.
Volodymyr Zelensky, always straight in his boots and refusing “panic” in the face of threats of invasion, assured Monday that “our state is stronger than ever” and “we are preparing worthy responses to all possible attacks”. “We are told that February 16 will be the day of the attack. We are going to make it a day of unity,” he solemnly declared.
