Russia launched over 200 drones against Ukraine between late Thursday and Friday as the latter's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is set to meet with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump at the White House.
The Ukrainian Air Force informed through its Telegram channel that a little over half of the drones were confirmed to be downed across several cities including Kharkiv, Kyiv, Plotava and Sumy. Ukraine deployed planes, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups, among others, according to the Kyiv Post. Moreover, 97 decoy drones vanished from radars without causing significant harm.
