BIG: Russia Launches 273-Drone Barrage On Ukraine Ahead Of Trump-Putin Call And Stalled Talks
Russia unleashed its largest drone attack on Ukraine since the full-scale war began, firing 273 drones overnight on May 18.
The assault came just after the first Ukraine-Russia peace talks since 2022 and one day before a pivotal Trump-Putin call.
Ukraine’s Air Force intercepted 88 drones, while many acted as decoys to exhaust defenses.
The deadly strike killed one and injured three, exposing Moscow’s disregard for diplomatic momentum and truce offers.
As Trump pushes peace, Russia escalates—a chilling signal to Kyiv, Washington, and the world.
