In what is being called a Zero Day assault plan Russia has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, thousands of tanks, and hundreds of warplanes preparing for a new invasion of war-torn Ukraine.  Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky is asking the West to support Ukraine as Russia masses troops, tanks, and warplanes on their border. 

Vladimir Putin is reported to be planning a massive new offensive to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the February 24 invasion.

Ukraine fears the assault will be "much bigger" than last year's wave which stormed across the country towards Kyiv.

Ukraine sources are claiming Russia is massing 1,800 tanks, 3,950 armored vehicles, 400 fighter jets, and 300 helicopters to carry out the attack.

They added Putin has 2,700 artillery guns and 810 rocket launchers for a deadly "new wave of attacks."

"It’s much bigger than what took place in the first wave," the official said. And he predicted that Moscow is "They are not paying attention to any casualties or losses. In the next 10 days, we expect a new, huge invasion."

According to Ukrainian intelligence, the new spring offensive could involve 300,000 to 500,000 soldiers.

Zelensky prepares for Zero Day offensive

Watching Russia’s unprecedented military build-up has sent Zelensky to France and the UK in a plea for modern-day warplanes. Ukraine still needs fighter jets to take down the anticipated Russian offensive.

Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak said “nothing is off the table” after Zelensky invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill in an address to Parliament.

Putin sent a warning that any UK “response” will have “military-political consequences.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a statement saying that arming Ukraine “will be in the United Kingdom’s hands.”

“Russia will know how to respond to any unfriendly actions by the British side."

The statement called Zelensky “pompous” and “hypocritical”.

Peskov said Ukrainians would suffer if Britain or any other Western countries supplied fighter jets to Kyiv. And did not deny that Zero Day planning is underway.

And added that "such actions" will certainly "lead to an escalation of tension, prolong the conflict and make the conflict more and more painful for Ukraine".
