In total, Russia fired at least 293 drones and 18 missiles overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force. Those figures surpass the attack last Thursday night into Friday, when a total of 278 aerial weapons were deployed, including an Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile.

The United States is accusing Russia of a “dangerous and inexplicable escalation” of the nearly four-year war in Ukraine at a time when the Trump administration is trying to advance negotiations toward peace.

Russia says it used its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile and other weapons in a massive strike on Ukraine​. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says a drone hit the Qatar embassy.

Acting British ambassador James Kariuki says Putin ‘claims to want peace and yet his actions tell a different story’

Lviv. Russia fired a powerful hypersonic missile overnight at a target in Ukraine near the border with NATO-member Poland on Jan. 9. The Oreshnik is an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) designed to project power across Europe.

Vladimir Putin has been lying to Donald Trump and the world about the war in Ukraine, and his false claims have proven costly for both Ukraine and Russia.
