Budapest-Russia launched four missiles and 136 drones to Ukraine during the night until Monday morning, according to the Ukraine Air Force, after President Donald Trump said that the United States would provide kyiv more patriot air surface systems to help defend against the night bombings of Russia.
The Ukraine Air Force said in a position to telegrade that 108 drones were demolished or neutralized during the last attack, with 28 drones that affect 10 locations. The debris that fall from the fallen drones were reported in four locations, said the Air Force.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense said its forces knocked down 11 Ukrainian drones during the night until Monday morning.
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, continues the long -range bombing of Ukrainian cities despite Trump’s criticisms, whose impulse for months for a high fire and the eventual peace agreement so far has not achieved a great advance.

Before an expected announcement about its Ukraine-Russian policy on Monday, Trump said on Sunday that the United States would provide more “sophisticated” teams to help Kyiv in his defense against Russian attacks.
Trump is also expected to meet with NATO general secretary Mark Rutte in Washington, DC, Monday.
“Basically we will send them several pieces of very sophisticated military teams,” Trump told journalists on Sunday. “They will pay us 100% for them, and that is the way we want it,” Trump said.
When asked if he would still send 10 patriot missiles to Ukraine, as announced last week, the president said the number has not been completed, but that kyiv would receive more help.
“I have not agreed the number yet, but they will have some because they need protection,” he said.

“But the European Union is paying for it,” Trump added. “We are not paying anything for it, but we will send it. It will be a business for us, and we will send them to the patriots, who desperately need, because Putin really surprised many people.”
“Talk well and then pump everyone at night. There is a small problem there,” Trump continued.
Trump refused to say if he would announce new sanctions on Russia on Monday.
Senator Lindsey Graham told ABC News last week that Trump is “ready” to act on a Senate bill that would impose tariffs of up to 500% in countries that buy oil and gas from Russia.
Trump, said Graham on Wednesday, is “trying to take Putin to the table, but Putin does not respond.” The legislation will include an exemption that allows Trump to raise sanctions to countries that buy Russian oil or uranium for 180 days, Graham said.
Meanwhile, Russia-Ukraine envoy of Trump, Keith Kellogg, arrived in Kyiv on Monday.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukraine Presidential Office, welcomed Kellogg in a telegram position. “Peace through force is the beginning of US President Donald Trump, and we support this approach,” he said.
