Read our privacy policy Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Vladimir Putin of “terrorising millions of people” after Russia launched one of its largest aerial attacks against Ukraine’s energy grid. Vladimir Putin’s troops launched 93 missiles and almost 200 drones across Ukraine overnight into Friday, Mr Zelensky said, with the Ukrainian air force having to scramble prized western-supplied F-16 fighter jets to shoot down some of the projectiles. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, said five out of Ukraine’s nine nuclear reactor units suffered “reduced power output due to renewed attacks on energy infrastructure”. Ukraine’s air force reported multiple strike drones launched at Ukraine overnight followed by swarms of cruise missiles in the country’s air space.
