Russia Unleashes Deadly Ukraine Barrage
The Kremlin's latest offensive involved nearly 700 drones and dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, marking a sharp escalation in the conflict.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the strikes on civilian infrastructure, insisting that Russia does not deserve the lifting of any international sanctions.
In the capital, fires burned out of control in several districts, while regional officials reported significant damage to power grids and residential apartment towers.
The barrage comes as Ukraine's allies pledge new military aid, including 120,000 drones from the United Kingdom, to bolster the nation's air defenses.
