Russia unleashed a large wave of drones and missiles across Ukraine on Saturday, striking Kyiv and several regions only hours before President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida. The overnight barrage triggered air‑raid alerts nationwide, damaged infrastructure, and caused temporary power outages in parts of the capital.

Ukrainian officials reported that the attack involved hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, marking one of the most intense assaults in recent months. At least one person was killed and multiple others were injured as emergency crews worked through the night to contain fires and restore essential services.

The timing of the strikes adds pressure to the upcoming Zelenskiy–Trump talks, where discussions are expected to focus on potential steps toward ending the war and addressing Ukraine’s security needs. The escalation underscores how volatile the situation remains as diplomatic efforts continue.
