About 500 drones and missiles were launched during the latest wave of Russian strikes, he said. Later, a Russian strike on a residential area near Zaporizhzhia reportedly claimed another life and wounded 18 people. The 430 drones and 68 missiles do not constitute the largest Russian bombardment Ukraine has seen, but it is among the more sizeable ones launched in recent months. " The Ukrainian leader noted that the attacks were a reminder to Kyiv's partners that air defences were a "daily necessity" for Ukraine, urging them to supply more as quickly as possible. His remarks reflect that the missiles used by air-defence systems are rapidly being expended in the Middle East as US-aligned Gulf states seek to neutralise Iranian missile and drone attacks. After the price of oil rose to around $100 (£75) a barrel, the Trump administration temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil already loaded onto vessels in a bid to contain the price.
