Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian truck drivers who transported what would become platforms for Ukraine's drone attack on Russian warplanes did so unwittingly.
At least three were killed and 49 injured in a missile-and-drone attack that focused on Kyiv, days after a daring assault on Moscow’s bomber fleet.
