Air raid alerts have been issued across the whole of Ukraine in anticipation of more Russian missiles strikes just a day after Putin unleashed the biggest barrage since the start of the war - killing 19 civilians and wounding 105.
Every Ukrainian region bar occupied Crimea was told to be on alert for more strikes early Tuesday as officials said rockets had been shot down near the capital Kyiv and that suicide drones were prowling the skies near the southern port city of Odesa.
Explosions were also reported in western Lviv, with power knocked out in the city.
Ukraine's air force said Russian strategic bombers - Tu-95s and Tu-160s which were originally designed to carry nukes - had fired non-nuclear missiles at the country from over the Caspian Sea around 7am local time, and that four of the weapons had been shot out of the sky.
