On the other hand, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wrote in a Facebook post, "February 16 will be the day of Russia's attack on Ukraine." Zelensky also said in his post that he wants to resolve all disputes through dialogue.

 

The World Bank has said in its internal memo issued that it has canceled its staff mission in Ukraine and is closely monitoring the border where Russian forces have been deployed.
