Russia Launches Massive Missile And Drone Barrage At Ukraine Amid Ongoing Peace Talks
Russia carried out a large-scale missile and drone attack across Ukraine overnight, striking multiple regions even as discussions on ending the war continued abroad. The assault coincided with Ukraine's Armed Forces Day and left the country facing fresh damage to key infrastructure.
Ukraine's air force reported that Russia launched 51 missiles and 653 drones in one of the biggest attacks in recent months. Air defences intercepted 585 drones and 30 missiles, but 29 locations were hit across the country.
At least eight people were injured nationwide, according to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. Three of them were in the Kyiv region, where authorities said debris damaged residential areas. Drone activity was also recorded near the western Lviv region, far from the front lines.
Ukraine's national energy operator Ukrenergo said the barrage was aimed at power stations and energy infrastructure, marking yet another attempt by Russia to weaken the country's electricity grid as temperatures continue to fall.
One of the most serious incidents took place at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, where all off-site power was temporarily lost after the strikes. Although the reactors are shut down, the plant still requires continuous power to cool stored fuel and avoid a nuclear risk. The facility remains under Russian occupation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said energy sites appeared to be the main focus of the attack. He added that a drone strike destroyed the train station in Fastiv, near Kyiv, disrupting transport links.
Russia claimed it downed 116 Ukrainian drones overnight. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces targeted the Ryazan Oil Refinery inside Russia. Both Ukrainian officials and Russian regional authorities acknowledged the strike, though Moscow avoided confirming damage to the refinery.
Ukraine has increased long-range drone attacks on Russian energy facilities in recent months in an effort to reduce Moscow's oil revenues.

The escalation came as Ukrainian officials met advisers to US President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss a possible post-war security framework. Zelenskyy said he had been briefed on the talks and stressed Ukraine's desire to “genuinely achieve peace."
However, negotiators noted that progress would depend on whether Russia shows a “serious commitment to long-term peace." Leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are expected to meet Zelenskyy in London on Monday to continue discussions.
