Ukraine said on Sunday it had faced the most extensive drone and missile assault since the start of the war over three years ago, with nearly 500 projectiles launched by Russian forces.
Ukrainian air defenses intercepted the majority of the drones and missiles, limiting the damage. Authorities reported no significant destruction, though one person was confirmed dead.
The unprecedented barrage comes amid a sharp escalation in Russian attacks as diplomatic efforts remain stalled.
In a separate development, both Russia and Ukraine confirmed the beginning of a prisoner exchange.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the swap includes “the wounded, the severely wounded, and those under the age of 25,” and is expected to continue in the coming days.
