Russia launched more than 200 missiles and drones at critical infrastructure in Ukraine early Monday, in one of the largest coordinated attacks since the war began.
According to the Kyiv government, more than 100 missiles of various types and a hundred Iranian-made Shahed drones were fired at power plants and other civilian infrastructure in 15 regions of the country, including in the Kyiv region, where a hydroelectric power plant was hit. At least five people were killed.
Moscow says the attacks targeted electrical and transport infrastructure “essential to the Ukrainian military-industrial complex,” including rail lines used to deliver weapons and ammunition to the front.
Following the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on neighboring countries to “use their air defense capabilities” to defend Ukraine by shooting down Russian missiles and drones flying close to their airspace, and at one point complained that they were unable to use much of the airspace supplied by the West to attack Russia. “Ukraine cannot continue to be limited in its long-range offensive actions when the enemy does not face any restrictions. Now is the time for decisive action,” Zelensky stressed.
