Russia gathers another grouping near Ukraine's borders - Zelensky

Russian troops are assembling a new grouping near the border 90 kilometres from Kharkiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said during a video address to world leaders.

'Literally now, these days, we are defending ourselves 60 kilometres northeast of this place from another Russian offensive attempt,' the president said.

Zelensky said the Russians were gathering another group of troops near the Ukrainian border to launch an offensive.

Russia is preparing for an offensive attempt and 90 kilometres from here to the north-west (of Kharkiv, - ed.) - another group of troops is gathering near our border. Does Russia want dialogue? Ukraine has the world's greatest experience of being deceived by Russia in negotiations. Deception, which, in particular, was Russia's cover for preparing this war," he said.

The head of state recorded the address in a destroyed printing house in Kharkiv, which was attacked by Russians the other day. It was one of the largest printing enterprises in Europe.
