It was Russia's third largest airstrike in terms of the number of drones this year and the eighth largest in terms of missiles.
Russia has launched a major attack on western Ukraine. This comes as US President Donald Trump is taking diplomatic steps to stop the war. Ukraine's air force said on Thursday that Russia fired 574 drones and 40 ballistic and cruise missiles overnight. At least one person was killed and 15 others were injured in the attacks.
It was Russia's third largest airstrike in terms of the number of drones this year and the eighth largest in terms of missiles. Russia has fired about 1,000 long-range drones and missiles into Ukraine since the White House launched talks.
Zelensky condemned the attack, saying it was carried out as if nothing was changing. He said Moscow has shown no signs of engaging in meaningful negotiations to end the war.
