The Ukrainian air force said it had downed 510 of 537 drones and 38 of 45 missiles launched by Russia in an overnight attack.
It recorded five missiles and 24 drone hits at 7 locations with debris falling on 21 sites, according to the statement on the Telegram messaging app.
One attack on Zaporizhzhia killed one person and injured at least 24 others, including three children, the regional governor said on Saturday.
This comes after the US told the United Nations Security Council that deadly missile and drone strikes on Ukraine "cast doubt on the seriousness of Russia’s desire for peace."
"The United States calls on the Russian Federation to avoid these consequences by stopping the violence and engaging constructively to end the war," US diplomat John Kelley told the 15-member council.
"Russia must decide now to move toward peace. The leaders of Russia and Ukraine must agree to meet bilaterally."
Ukraine, Russia stil have not held talks
Russia pounded Ukraine with deadly missiles and drone strikes early on Thursday in a sweeping attack. The strikes on Kyiv "cast doubt on the seriousness of Russia’s desire for peace. These strikes on civilian areas must stop immediately," Kelley said.
Diplomatic efforts to end Russia's full-scale invasion have so far yielded little, even after US President Donald Trump met separately with the Russian and Ukrainian leaders earlier this month.
"Russia continues to choose killing over ending the war," Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko told the Security Council. "We should take this into account in our efforts aimed at peaceful resolution and establishment of reliable security guarantees. These guarantees shall protect both Ukrainian sovereignty and the lives of Ukrainian people, especially children."
"Our people must feel safe already today. That's why ceasefire remains an essential prerequisite for successful future negotiation," she said.
Russia's Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy said Moscow was prepared to consider a summit with Ukraine "provided that there is thorough prior preparation for such a meeting and the substantive content of it, otherwise, it would simply not have any meaning."
He said the United States was "more and more understanding the need to address the root causes of the conflict without which it won't be possible to resolve it."
However, the US State Department approved on Friday the potential sale of Patriot Air Defense System sustainment and related equipment to Ukraine for an estimated cost of $179.1 million.
The principal contractors for the sale will be RTX Corp and Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon said in a statement.
