Russia fired a record 741 drones and missiles in its largest aerial attack against Ukraine on Wednesday in a significant escalation. Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, adding that it speaks volumes to the Kremlin’s sincerity in its claims of wanting to end the war.

Russia ratcheted up air attacks by drones and missiles on Ukraine this week. The increase comes as President Trump has expressed frustration at Russian President Vladimir Putin's seeming unwillingness to enter talks to end the war.

At least six people were killed, with over 20 people wounded, into early Saturday as Russia continued to hammer Ukraine with hundreds of drones as part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has further dampened hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than three-year-old war.
