Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine overnight into Saturday with hundreds of drones, killing at least one person, as part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than 3-year-old war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked international leaders "who understand how important it is to promptly implement our agreements" aimed at boosting Ukraine's defence capabilities. Russia reported that it intercepted 150 incoming aerial threats with 13 drones targeting Moscow, according to Moscow Major Sergey Sobyanin and Russia's Ministry of Defence.
