Russia Launches Largest Drone, Missile Attack on Ukraine, Targeting Kyiv, Lutsk, Five Regions

Russia launched its largest drone and missile assault on Ukraine since the war began, firing over 700 drones and a dozen missiles targeting multiple regions including Kyiv and Lutsk. The attacks resulted in at least five civilian deaths and several injuries, with Ukrainian forces intercepting many of the incoming weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes as a clear escalation and called for stronger sanctions against Russia, particularly targeting its oil revenues. US President Donald Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and pledged increased weapons support to Ukraine, despite a recent Pentagon pause in some arms shipments due to concerns over stockpiles. The Kremlin expressed hope for continued US diplomatic engagement, even as peace negotiations remain stalled. Neighboring countries like Poland took precautionary measures to secure their airspace amid the intensity of the attacks.
