Ukraine war briefing: At least 13 dead as Russia launches huge wave of attacks

  • Russia has launched over 1,500 drones at Ukrainian cities in the past two days, marking the largest attack over a 48-hour period since the war began, with Kyiv being the worst affected.
  • The attacks targeted civilian infrastructure, including schools, a veterinary clinic, and residential buildings, resulting in at least 13 deaths and dozens wounded over two days.
  • President Zelensky stated these actions are 'definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end' and reported that a UN humanitarian vehicle was twice attacked by Russian drones in Kherson.
  • Separately, Russia has added Ben Wallace, the former British defence minister, to a wanted list in connection with an unspecified criminal investigation.
  • Ukraine's anti-corruption court ordered the arrest of Andriy Yermak, a close ally of President Zelensky, on money-laundering charges, setting bail at $3.19 million.
