Ukraine announced on Saturday that it has shot down 74 of 75 Russian assault drones overnight, in what it called the largest drone raid since the invasion began.
According to the Ukrainian army, Russia fired a “record number” of Iranian-made Shahed drones, the bulk of which were shot down above the capital, Kyiv, creating power outages in the city centre as temperatures dropped below freezing.
The drone assault occurred as Ukraine observed Holodomor Remembrance Day, marking the starving of millions of Ukrainians under Soviet tyrant Joseph Stalin in the 1930s.
