KYIV: As a three-day truce expired on Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine resumed strikes, with Ukrainian authorities saying that the attack on Kyiv with drones killed one person in the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk.

The Russian military, meanwhile, said it had shot down 27 Ukrainian drones after the ceasefire expired.

US President Donald Trump had announced the truce on Friday, hours before Russia’s World War II victory celebrations, saying he hoped it would mark “the beginning of the end” of the four-year-old conflict.

But even before it expired, the two countries had traded accusations of attacks on civilians that violated the truce.
