Russia launched one of the largest aerial assaults of the war on Ukraine overnight, unleashing more than 500 drones, with Kyiv as the primary target. The timing of the attack—just hours after a phone call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin—yielded no success toward ending the war in Eastern Europe. 

On X, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha said, "Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital." He described the attack as "one of the worst so far." 

Here is Sybiha's complete statement:

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv. One of the worst so far. 

Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital.  

Right after Putin spoke with President Trump. And he does it on purpose. 

Enough of waiting! Putin clearly shows his complete disregard for the United States and everyone who has called for an end to the war.  

Moscow must be slapped with the toughest sanctions without delay. Ukraine must be provided with all necessary means to defend itself.
