Ukraine’s air force says Russia launched four missiles and 140 drones during an overnight attack in the eastern European country.

The air force downed 88 drones and recorded hits in 25 locations across six Ukrainian regions, according to the statement posted on the Telegram messaging app.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders will meet United States (US) Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to map out a peace deal amid fears Trump could try to pressure Kyiv into accepting a settlement favourable to Moscow.

The leaders of Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) hope to shore up Zelenskyy at a crucial diplomatic moment in the war and prevent any repetition of the bad-tempered Oval Office encounter between Trump and Ukraine’s leader in February.

Trump will meet first with Zelenskyy at 1:15 pm EDT 1715 (GMT) in the Oval Office and then with all the European leaders together in the White House’s East Room at 3 pm EDT (1900 GMT), the White House said.
