Russia fired around 450 long-range drones and 70 missiles of various types at Ukraine in a major attack overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday.

The barrage came a day before the two countries were due to attend US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), on ending the all-out war, which Russia launched nearly four years ago. 


The bombardment of at least five regions of Ukraine specifically took aim at the power grid, Zelenskyy said.
