Russia is showing no signs of de-escalating its bombardment of Ukraine after it launched its biggest aerial attack on its neighbour overnight, according to Ukrainian officials, since the three-year-conflict began.

Russia launched 352 drones and 16 missiles overnight in a new “massive” attack on Kyiv killing at least seven people and injuring dozens more, after Ukraine said it would increase the "scale and depth" of its operations against Russian energy and military infrastructure.
