Ukrainian officials say a Russian drone attack on Kharkiv shows a fresh offensive from Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of peace talks.

Ukraine says that many of the casualties were servicemen undergoing treatment at the military hospital. Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events. Send tips to Anders.Hagstrom@Fox.com, or on Twitter: @Hagstrom_Anders.

Ukraine's air force says the attack consisted of 111 Russian drones, 65 of which were shot down and another 35 of which were disabled electronically or failed of their own accord.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy predicted late last week that Russian forces would ramp up their attacks in the coming weeks in an effort to bolster their negotiating position for peace talks.
