Russia launched "nearly 500 drones and cruise missiles" against Ukraine on Friday morning, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga denounced on the X platform, seeing it as Moscow's "brutal" response to an Easter truce proposal formulated by Kyiv.

This large-scale daytime raiding has prompted the Ukrainian electricity company Ukrenergo to announce emergency power cuts "in several regions" of the country.
