Russia and Ukraine each reported dozens of attempted drone attacks in the past day, just hours after Hungary vetoed €50 billion of EU funding to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s air force said on Saturday that Ukrainian air defences had shot down 30 out of 31 drones launched overnight against 11 regions of the country.
