Explosions heard across Ukraine, including Kyiv and Odesa, as Russia advances at its fastest rate since the early days of the nearly three-year war.
Russia has launched a huge strike on Ukraine’s energy facilities and military infrastructure, Russian news agencies report, citing the Ministry of Defence.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday said Russian forces launched about 120 missiles and 90 drones in a “massive” combined air attack – one of the largest barrages of the near-three-year war.
In a message on his Telegram channel, Zelenskyy added that Ukrainian defence forces shot down more than 140 Russian projectiles.
A Russian drone attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv killed at least two people and wounded six others, including children, Zelenskyy said, adding that “all areas” were left without power.
Explosions were heard across Ukraine on Sunday, including the capital, Kyiv, the key southern port of Odesa, and the country’s west and central regions, according to local reports.
