Ukraine's air force said it had downed all the incoming projectiles.
"Today Ukrainian air defence withstood and repelled a massive attack by enemy drones," the air force said in a statement.
Russia fires drones and missiles at Ukraine on an almost nightly basis. It says it is targeting military and energy facilities, though strikes on residential areas are frequent and Kyiv accuses Moscow of directly targeting civilians.
More than 40 of the drones were downed over the capital Kyiv and its outskirts, the city's military administration said on Wednesday.
There was some damage to buildings as a result of falling debris, though no casualties were reported.
