More than 100 Russian drones targeted areas of Ukraine on Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, hours after another barrage aimed at civilian areas killed at least eight people.

“Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly — deliberately targeting our railway infrastructure and civilian sites in our cities,” Mr Zelensky said in a post on X.
