Nearly 500 drones and 20 missiles of various types were launched by Russia at Ukraine overnight, marking the biggest barrage of the war, Kyiv said. 

On Monday, Ukraine’s air force reported that its air defenses managed to intercept 277 out of the 479 drones launched under the cover of night and 19 missiles while they were airborne. According to Kyiv, only 10 drones or missiles reached their targets, with a single individual sustaining injuries.

The bombardment targeted mainly central and western areas of Ukraine, they said.

Russia’s aerial attacks usually start late in the evening and end in the morning, as drones are harder to spot in the dark.

“We have heard numerous excuses and justifications and so forth, but it is challenging to regard them as credible,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated to reporters, as reported by Reuters. “The Russian side is still ready to follow through with the agreements made in Istanbul.”

The agreements were established during a second series of direct peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 and are intended to facilitate a new prisoner of war exchange involving at least 1,200 individuals—with emphasis on the youngest and most severely injured—as well as the return of thousands of bodies of those who died during the conflict.

The return of prisoners of war and the return of the bodies of the dead is one of the few things the two sides have been able to agree on, even as their broader negotiations have failed to get close to ending the war, now in its fourth year.
