Despite Trump's peace calls, Russian attacks on Ukraine double since inauguration

Russian attacks on Ukraine have more than doubled since President Donald Trump returned to office, with drones and missiles soaring despite his calls for a ceasefire. The escalating assaults have prompted fears of vulnerability in Ukraine, leading to renewed calls for the US to provide fresh supplies of Patriot anti-air batteries. Russia's increased production of ballistic missiles and drones, including the Geran-2, has further exacerbated the conflict, with Moscow reportedly ramping up missile and drone manufacturing, as satellite images show expanded facilities.
