Russia Overwhelmed Ukraine's Defenses With Drones, Then Missiles, Killing 17 in Kyiv

Russia fired 115 drones and 28 missiles at Kyiv overnight August 5, killing 17. Ukraine shot down 98 drones but could not stop the missiles. Moscow's strategy: send drones to exhaust Ukraine's defenses, then strike when little remains to block the missiles. Zelenskyy blamed the deaths on that shortage. A US-Germany-Ukraine Patriot missile deal would take months to help.
