As European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged a 30-day ceasefire starting Monday, Russia unleashed a major overnight drone attack across Ukraine, injuring a freight train driver and striking key infrastructure.
Russian forces launched 108 drones over Ukraine overnight, with strikes reportedly affecting railway infrastructure and injuring the driver of a freight train, Ukrainian authorities said on Monday. The operation occurred as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders voiced support for a temporary 30-day ceasefire starting this week.
Ukraine’s air force reported that the drone launches began at 11 p.m. local time on Sunday. Of the total drones launched, 55 were intercepted and destroyed, while 30 were identified as decoys that did not reach any targets. The drone activity was reported across the eastern, northern, southern, and central regions of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Railways stated that the attack damaged railway infrastructure in the Donetsk region and injured a freight train driver. “Truce proposals are being ignored, and attacks on railway infrastructure continue,” the company said via its Telegram channel.
In response to calls for a ceasefire, Russian President Vladimir Putin described the proposals as “ultimatums.” He instead suggested direct negotiations with Ukraine to seek a resolution to the ongoing conflict - an idea that has been welcomed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
