by · POLITICO

Russia launched 550 drones and missiles overnight Friday, including seven ballistic rockets, the Ukrainian Air Force said, in one of the Kremlin’s largest-ever attacks on Ukraine.

Ukraine shot down 475 drones and missiles, according to the Air Force. The attack mainly targeted Kyiv, injuring at least 20 people and destroying residential buildings and rail infrastructure. 

The bombardment followed a call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin which, according to Trump, yielded no progress toward ending the war.
