Russia launched a second major drone and missile bombardment of Ukrainein four days, officials said, aiming again at the power grid and apparently snubbing US-led peace efforts as the war approaches the four-year mark.

Russia fired almost 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles at eight regions overnight, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media.
