Russia has launched its biggest drone attack on Ukraine since the war started, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u00a0has said.<\/p>\n

He condemned Russia for its “aerial terror” as he reported more than 250 drones had hit his country overnight.<\/p>\n

It comes ahead of the third-year anniversary of Russia’s land, air and sea invasion of its smaller neighbour, which started on 24 February 2022.<\/p>\n

“Every day, our people stand against aerial terror,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“On the eve of the third anniversary of the full-scale war, Russia launched 267 attack drones against Ukraine – the largest attack since Iranian drones began striking Ukrainian cities and villages.”<\/p>\n

A total of 138 of the drones were downed and another 119 disappeared from radars after being jammed by electronic warfare, Ukraine’s air force said in a statement, as damage was reported across five regions.<\/p>\n

Mr Zelenskyy, who has had a troubling few days as US President Donald Trump on Wednesday referred to him as a “dictator”<\/a><\/strong>, said in total nearly 1,150 attack drones, more than 1,400 guided aerial bombs and 35 missiles of various types were launched by Russia at Ukraine in the past week.<\/p>\n

The president thanked those operating Ukraine’s air defences, and called on the country’s foreign allies to stand
united to secure a “just and lasting peace”.<\/p>\n
