Killed at least 12 and dozens injured after the Russia's air raid in Ukraine

Russia triggered one of his greatest drone and rocket spans of the war against Ukraine overnight, killed at least 12 people and injured dozens of all over the country in an hour-long attack that Ukrainian officials said that Moscow was not interested in an armistice.

It was the second large attack in two nights and the third in just one week, part of a broader, recent escalation by Russia, which, despite weapons negotiations, brought civilian victims. Ukraine has also reinforced its own air strikes on Russian territory, but on a smaller scale and with far less civilian deaths.

The overnight strikes underlined, such as diplomatic efforts to convey a ceasefire for months, have not achieved a breakthrough, as President Vladimir V. Putin from Russia, with the approval of a temporary ceasefire, and the conditions that he knows that they will not accept Ukraine. And after President Trump threatened to move away from the negotiations for weeks, it now seems to do exactly that and President Volodymyr Zelensky from Ukraine last week that Russia and Ukraine have to find a solution for the war itself.

The Ukraine air weapon said on Sunday that Russia, together with 298 attack drones, launched 69 ballistic and cruise stakes, and added that about two thirds of the rockets and almost all drones were shot down. The spokesman for the Air Force, Yuriy Ermat, said in an interview that it was the greatest bombing of the war in relation to the number of weapons used. These numbers could not be verified independently.

It was the latest in a series of recently in Russian attacks to include swarms of more than 250 drones – a number that was made possible at the beginning of the war and unthinkable, but now through mass weapons production.

Attacks with drone swarms are often designed in such a way that they overwhelm the enemy's air defense. Ukraine have already stretched and every consecutive attack adds further stress. The most recent barrage also met western and southern regions of Ukraine, which, in contrast to the capital Kyiv, are poorly protected by air defenses and increases the likelihood of deaths.
