KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A massive Ukrainian drone attack set multiple Russian arms depots ablaze, destroying what Ukraine's General Staff claimed were thousands of tons of weaponry including missiles from North Korea, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for quick action from the United States to send more weapons ahead of his visit to the White House with a multi-point “victory plan.”

Ukraine launched over 100 drones at Russia and occupied Crimea overnight, Russian news reports and the Defense Ministry said Saturday.

The strikes set an arms depot on fire that appeared to be in the same town as one struck by Ukrainian drones early Wednesday, injuring 13 people and also causing a huge blaze. Arms and ammunition depots were also hit in Russia's southern Krasnodar region.

The “victory plan” that Zelenskyy will present to President Joe Biden will include long-range strike capabilities and other weapons long sought by Kyiv, and will serve as the basis for any future negotiation with Russia, Zelenskyy told reporters ahead of next week's trip.

Zelenskyy reveals scant details

Zelenskyy has regularly alluded to the plan’s preparation but has not publicly outlined its contents, saying only that it contains terms acceptable for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia after 2 1/2-year war following Moscow's full-scale invasion.

“This will be the start and foundation for talking in any format with Russia. In any format, with any of its representatives, because there will be a plan and something to show," Zelenskyy said in a briefing Friday.
