Ukraine is preparing for a major escalation by Russia - possibly even in the next two to three weeks, the Ukrainian president's top security official has said.
Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, told Sky News that the hardest fighting was yet to come and said the next few months would be crucial in deciding the course of the war.
He urged western allies to send more weapons, including Royal Air Force Typhoon jets from the UK and fighter aircraft from other partners.
"Russia is preparing for maximum escalation," Mr. Danilov said in an interview on Tuesday at his headquarters in the capital Kyiv.
"It is gathering everything possible, doing drills and training."
He did not rule out the possibility that President Vladimir Putin would attempt another attack from the north, south, and east, as happened on 24 February 2022 - maybe even to coincide with the anniversary.
"We do understand everything is on the table… I can say that we are not excluding any scenario in the next two to three weeks."
