00:00Russia launched almost 200 drones towards 17 regions in Ukraine in an overnight blitz,

00:07marking the record number of drones fired by Russia in a single attack.

00:12Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that while most of the drones were shot down,

00:17the shelling damaged apartment buildings and critical infrastructures such as the national

00:21power grid.

00:24Almost 200 Russian drones against Ukraine in one day is almost 200 proof that Russian

00:31aspirations are far from any ideas about a real peace.

00:36In many regions, efforts are still underway to address the aftermath of the drone strikes.

00:42Zelensky also said a rescue operation was underway in the Sumy region after an attack

00:46on an auto repair shop killed two people.

00:49Meanwhile, in a rare official acknowledgement, Moscow said that long-range missiles launched

00:54by Ukraine damaged infrastructure and injured several servicemen in Russia's Kursk region.

01:01Speaker of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin urged the West to refrain from escalating

01:06tensions as it could ultimately harm the citizens of Europe.

01:19Volodin also said that the new Oreshnik ballistic missile was necessary to protect Russian citizens.
