Russia launches drone barrage into Ukraine after Trump-Zelenskyy meeting
Ukraine reported 149 Russian drones launched into the country overnight into the early hours of Sunday, the barrage coming hours after President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Pope Francis' funeral in Vatican City.
Ukraine's air force said in a Telegram post that 57 of the drones were shot down and 67 were lost in flight. Six regions of the country -- Zhytomyr, Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Donetsk, Sumy and Cherkasy -- recorded damage from drone attacks, the air force said.
The air force said in another post to Telegram that over the previous week, Russia attacked Ukraine with 48 missiles of various types and 442 attack drones.
Russia's Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces downed eight Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday morning.
