Russia launches large round of missile attacks on Ukraine

Ukrainian defence ministry says strikes amount to ‘one of the most massive missile attacks’ since invasion

Russia launched a large round of missile attacks on Ukraine on Thursday morning, as Moscow rejected a Ukrainian peace plan and kept up its attacks on infrastructure.

Russia attacked targets across Ukraine, from Lviv in the west to Kharkiv in the east. Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said more than 120 Russian missiles had been launched, while the Ukrainian army command said Russia launched 69 missiles from land, sea and air, 54 of which it said were shot down.
