Zelenskiy says Russia attacked Ukraine with nearly 500 drones and 40 missiles overnight

Dec 27 (Reuters) - Russia attacked Ukraine with nearly 500 drones and 40 missiles overnight, targeting energy and civilian infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.

"If Russia turns even the Christmas and New Year period into a time of destroyed homes and burned apartments, of ruined power plants, then this sick activity can only be responded to with truly strong steps," Zelenskiy wrote on X, calling for the U.S. and Europe to pressure Moscow harder.
