Daily Mail: Is Putin Plotting to Unleash Hell on This Holiday? 

Fears are mounting among Ukrainian officials that Russian President Vladimir Putin might choose to escalate his attacks on Ukraine during the country’s Independence Day holiday next week. 

“We must definitely be prepared for possible missile strikes,” said Yuriy Ihnat, Spokesperson for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on Wednesday. He warned that Russia has a preference for using certain special dates for so-called “congratulations.” 

There are concerns that Russia might use Belarus as a launchpad for attacks given a flurry of movements observed there in recent days, according to Ihnat. 

“We constantly observe the movement of [Russian] troops in the territory of Belarus, as well as the transportation of ammunition, Iskander and other types of missiles. This happens all the time. If an Il-76 flies from the Russian Federation to the territory of Belarus, then it is clear that it delivers weapons,” Ihnat said.

WNU Editor: I have been reading a lot of unverified news reports from Russia in the past few weeks that it is preparing a major offensive on the Ukraine front in the coming weeks. Will this offensive start next week during Ukraine's National Day? I do not know. But I do know that Russia is going through almost 70,000 artillery shells per day in this war, and if that is not unleashing "hell", I do not know what is. Ukraine's Independence Day is next week on August 24.,
