Russia launches massive strikes on Ukraine in retaliation for US weapon attack

RUSSIA launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine today, firing 93 cruise and ballistic missiles and almost 200 drones, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukrainian defences shot down most missiles by using F-16 warplanes provided by Western allies earlier this year.
