VLADIMIR Putin has unleashed a barrage of 100 drones of Ukraine as Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to meet him in just days.

The brave Ukrainian leader has said he will meet face-to-face with the Russian tyrant on Thursday in Istanbul.

A total of 108 Shahed attack drones and simulator drones were launched at Ukraine – the same number as a day earlier. 

Kyiv shot down some 55 Russian drones, with 30 more lost, the Ukrainian military said.

Three major waves of kamikaze drones were reported across a wide number of regions in northern and eastern Ukraine including Kherson, Odessa, and Zaporizhzhia.

Ukraine’s Air Force Command said: “The air attack was repelled by aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.

“Thirty enemy drone simulators were lost…without negative consequences.

“As a result of the enemy attack, the Odessa, Mykolaiv, Donetsk, and Zhytomyr regions suffered.”

It is the second day since a supposed 72-hour ceasefire finished that Putin has attacked.

The pause had been instituted for Russia’s WW2 Victory Day commemorations on May 8, before it finished at the end of the day on May 11.

Ukraine has also reportedly attacked Russia – using the long range HIMARS to strike the town of Rylsk where the local governor said a hotel was destroyed.

It comes leaders from the UK, France, Germany, and Poland travelled to Kyiv on Saturday and met with Zelensky.

The group endorsed Donald Trump’s demand for an immediate 30-day ceasefire across land, sea, and air.

Sunday’s attack came just after a 1am Moscow press conference where Putin dramatically rejected a month-long ceasefire but insisted Russia was ready to resume direct peace talks in Istanbul on Thursday.

Zelensky wants an immediate pause in fighting saying “we expect a ceasefire from [Monday] – complete and lasting, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy.

“There is no point in prolonging the killings.”

Putin is yet to reveal whether he will meet with his Ukrainian counterpart.

The tyrant wants peace on his terms and is yet to give up on his horror demands to dismember Ukraine and install a puppet government.

Trump has put pressure on Zelensky to meet with Putin – even though the Russian leader refused to agree to a ceasefire.

He said: “President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH.

“Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY.

“At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!

“I’m starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who’s too busy celebrating the Victory of World War ll, which could not have been won (not even close!) without the United States of America. HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!”
