Ukraine is warning that Russia is planning to conduct a "training and combat" launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile just hours after Moscow carried out its "heaviest drone attack" on the ex-Soviet state since the war began.

Russia has battered Ukraine overnight with its largest drone attack since the war began, Ukraine’s military said Sunday, as Moscow intensified its military assault despite holding direct peace talks with Kyiv Friday.

Many Russian soldiers say they would see a cease-fire along the current front lines as a failure, hinting at the nationalist discontent the Kremlin could face in accepting a cease-fire.
