Russia and Ukraine have continued to exchange barrages of air attacks, despite Donald Trump having said he would end the war within 24 hours of becoming US president.
While Trump was inaugurated on Monday afternoon, neither Kyiv nor Moscow have shown signs of de-escalating the drone and missile strikes they have been launching against one another in recent months. Both launched barrages overnight on Tuesday.
Russia said it downed 55 Ukrainian drones, more than half of which were intercepted over regions on the border.
Kyiv said it struck an oil depot near the town of Liski in the Voronezh region, sparking a blaze at the facility for the second time in less than a week.
The region’s governor, Alexander Gusev, said the fire was caused by debris from a downed drone and that no one was injured.
