Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Russia Unleashes Massive Drone and Missile Barrage on Ukraine as Zelenskiy Pleads for Action
Caption: Russia Unleashes Massive Drone and Missile Barrage on Ukraine as Zelenskiy Pleads for Action. Ukraine endured one of the biggest assaults on Kyiv since the start of the full-scale war, with Russia firing nearly 600 drones and 48 missiles overnight. Ukrainian forces say they shot down most of them, but at least four people — including a child — were killed and dozens injured as homes, factories and power sites were hit. Neighbouring Poland temporarily closed airspace and scrambled fighter jets as the attack raged. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the strike "vile" and urged the United States, Europe and the G7 to cut off Russia's energy revenues that fund the invasion. Moscow claims it targeted military infrastructure, not civilians — a claim Ukraine rejects as residential areas lie in ruins. With Ukraine's air defences stretched, Zelenskiy is pushing for more Patriot missile systems to protect the skies ahead of further assaults.
