President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meanwhile, appealed for quick action from the United States to send more weapons before his visit to the White House next week with a multi-point “victory plan.”

Ukraine launched more than 100 drones at Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula overnight, Russian news reports and the Defense Ministry said Saturday.

The strikes set an arms depot on fire just kilometers (miles) away from one struck by Ukrainian drones earlier this week, in an attack that wounded 13 people and also caused a huge blaze. Arms and ammunition depots were also hit on Saturday in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes inside Russia with US-supplied weapons, and to earn “a place in history” by “strengthening Ukraine” before he leaves office.

Speaking before a crucial trip to the US, including the UN, to shore up support for Ukraine in the war, Zelenskyy said he would present a “victory plan” to end the war. Zelenskyy on Sunday will visit the Pennsylvania ammunition factory that is producing one of the most critically needed munitions for his country’s fight.

He is expected to go to the Scranton army ammunition plant to kick off a busy week in the US shoring up support for Ukraine, officials told the Associated Press. This week he also will address the UN general assembly’s annual gathering in New York and travel to Washington for talks with President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The smell of burnt rubber hung heavy over the rescue workers as they dug, painstakingly ­removing rubble, their shadows long and movements harsh under the burning ­floodlights. Onlookers watched the progress in silence, waiting for any sign of life under the building levelled by four Israeli missiles in Dahieh, the ­southern suburbs of Beirut, just a few hours before on Friday afternoon.

Broken glass stained with blood had been swept to the side and the area cordoned off, members of Hezbollah and the Lebanese civil defence barking orders to make sure emergency vehicles could access the area. Men with freshly bandaged hands, the product of booby-trapped pagers a few days before, milled about as women sobbed.

“My son’s best friend, his mother, his father and his three siblings. They’re all under the rubble. The ­eldest kid is 19, the youngest is two,” Hassan, a 40-year-old resident of Dahieh, said while watching rescue efforts.

Russia warned the West and Ukraine on Friday of "disastrous consequences" if Kyiv moved against close Russian ally Belarus, making clear it would intervene to defend a country where it has deployed tactical nuclear weapons.
