Russia unleashed the largest missile and drone attack against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure in more than three weeks, firing a combined 100 missiles and drones overnight.

The barrage targeted energy sites across the country and damaged two thermal power plants, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday.

“The enemy launched 53 missiles of various types and 47 attack drones,” the air force said, adding that it shot down 35 of the missiles and all but one of the drones.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow was trying to “exploit” a lack of “determination” among Ukraine’s key Western backers and repeated his call for more air defence systems.

“Russia’s main goal is to normalise terror, to exploit the lack of sufficient air defence and determination of Ukraine’s partners,” he said.
