The largest known Russian drone attack since full-scale war began in 2022 killed a woman in the Kyiv region and injured at least three people, Ukrainian authorities said early on Sunday, as Moscow stepped up strikes after peace talks on Friday.

Russia had launched 273 drones by 8 a.m. local time (5 a.m. GMT), targeting chiefly the central Kyiv region and the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions in the country’s east, Ukraine’s air force said.

Based on data provided by the air force, this was Russia’s largest drone attack on Ukraine during the war. On the eve of the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 23, Moscow launched a then-record 267 drones.

The first direct talks in three years between Russia and Ukraine on Friday failed to broker the temporary ceasefire Kyiv and its allies have been urging. The 100 minutes of talks in Istanbul yielded an agreement to trade 1,000 prisoners of war on each side.

US President Donald J. Trump said he would speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday.
