KYIV, Ukraine (AFP) — Russia launched 267 drones on Ukraine overnight, a “record” since the February 2022 invasion, the Ukrainian air force said Sunday.

Air force spokesperson Yuriy Ignat called the 267 drones spotted in Ukrainian skies between Saturday and Sunday “a record for a single attack” since the invasion began nearly three years ago.

Among them, 138 were intercepted by air defense while 119 were “lost” without causing damage, he said in a post on Facebook.

He did not say what happened to the remaining 10 but a separate armed forces statement on Telegram said several regions, Kyiv included, had been “hit.”

A Russian missile attack late Saturday left one man dead and five more wounded in the central town of Kryvyi Rig, regional authorities said Sunday.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom will unveil a significant package of sanctions against Russia on Monday, which marks three years since the start of its war with Ukraine, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Sunday.

“This is a critical moment in the history of Ukraine, Britain and all of Europe... Now is the time for Europe to double down on our support for Ukraine,” Lammy said.

London has already imposed sanctions on 1,900 people and organizations with link’s to Putin’s government since the start of the war, as of January 2025.

Its sanctions target the Russian financial, aviation, military and energy sectors, including through bank asset freezes, travel bans, and trade restrictions.

In his statement, Lammy reiterated UK’s military backing, which includes a pledge to provide £3 billion ($3.78 billion) annually to Kyiv and “being ready and willing to provide UK troops as part of peacekeeping forces if necessary.”

“Off the battlefield, we will work with the United States (US) and European partners to achieve a sustainable, just peace, and in doing so, remaining clear that there can be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” Lammy added.

At the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York City, the US representative wants the UN Security Council on Monday to vote on a brief resolution calling for a “swift end” to the war in Ukraine that omits mention of Kyiv’s territory occupied by Russia.

The text appears to rival a competing draft resolution being negotiated by Kyiv and its European Union allies for a vote by the UN General Assembly to mark the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
