While world leaders bicker over the prospects for peace, the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War Two is heating up fast.

Russia dramatically intensified missile and drone attacks across Ukraine this month in an effort to sap Ukrainians’ morale – but it is also stepping up ground attacks in many areas along the long frontline,

Russia once struggled to field its own long range drones until Iran sold them the technology to build their own. Now hundreds hit Ukraine every night.

Russia launched an unprecedented wave of aerial attacks on Ukraine between May 24 and 26, deploying 903 drones and 92 missiles over three consecutive nights, marking the most intense bombardment since the start of the war.

Russian drones and missiles again bombarded cities across Ukraine on Saturday night into Sunday morning despite the completion of a major prisoner exchange.

Ukraine and Russia, earlier this month, agreed to exchange 1,000 prisoners of war and civilian detainees each in a rare moment of cooperation in more than three years of war.

Russia launched over 900 drones at Ukraine over the weekend and comes after U.S.-led efforts last week to reach a ceasefire between the two countries.
