Ukraine's air force said Russia fired four missiles and 131 drones at Ukraine overnight. The air force also said 72 of the drones were destroyed, while 59 disappeared without reaching their targets.
Moscow's Ministry of Defense said its troops intercepted and destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones in six Russian regions at night. Six drones were downed in Voronezh, where regional governor Alexander Gusev said falling debris had sparked a fire just six days after debris from another downed drone sparked an earlier fire. No injuries were reported.
Kiev's military claimed responsibility for an attack on an aviation production plant in Russia's Smolensk region, where “combat aircraft are being modernized and produced,” as well as an attack on Voronezh that resulted in a fire at a fuel depot. Ukraine's General Staff said the attacks were coordinated between drone units and special forces.
Russia's state news agency TASS reported that Moscow's forces had captured the village of Vovkovo in eastern Ukraine, just 10 km (6.2 miles) southwest of the city of Pokrovsk, a key supply hub for Kiev's troops. Moscow's army also captured Shevchenko earlier, another village near the center, TASS reported.
Russian regional authorities in Orenburg told residents to take cover from a possible Ukrainian drone attack. Sites of Russian strategic missile forces are located in the area.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has announced that it has detained the chief psychiatrist of the Ukrainian army on corruption charges. The suspect is accused of failing to disclose about $1 million in “undesirable assets” that authorities believe have been amassed since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Valery Gerasimov, visited a tank division and a motorized rifle brigade fighting near the Ukrainian supply center in Pokrovsk. Footage shows Gerasimov arriving by helicopter and handing out medals to the soldiers.
Moscow's air defense units destroyed seven Ukrainian drones over Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, as well as nine over Rostov in southern Russia. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
About 229 Ukrainian civilians still remain in the town of Chasov Yar, which is under heavy Russian shelling, the AFP news agency quoted a Kiev military spokesman as saying. Many of those still in the city are either elderly or disabled, AFP reported.

United States President Donald Trump said he plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and told reporters that Putin is “destroying Russia” by refusing to sign a ceasefire deal with Ukraine. Trump said he thinks “Russia is going to be in big trouble” and expressed concern about Moscow's economy.
Trump has warned Putin that he will impose new sanctions on Russia if the Kremlin refuses to negotiate a ceasefire deal with Ukraine. Trump also said the US was considering sending weapons to Ukraine, but added that the European Union must do more to support Kiev.
Chinese President Xi Jinping had a video call with Putin, during which the two discussed prospects for a potential peace deal to end Moscow's war with Ukraine, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said. The two leaders also touched on issues related to the Korean Peninsula, the Middle East, Syria and Taiwan, Ushakov said.
Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi quoted Ushakov as saying that the Trump administration has not yet contacted Moscow about a meeting. “We're ready,” he reportedly said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, told delegates that Europe must establish itself as a strong global leader, develop a joint defense policy and be willing to increase defense spending to ensure peace and security for self and others.
In his speech, Zelensky also questioned Trump's commitment to NATO and European security, adding that Ukraine is working to arrange a meeting with the US president.

Zelensky said Ukraine would not bow to Russian demands to reduce Kiev's military capabilities in a possible future peace deal. “That's what he wants. We will not allow this to happen,” Zelensky said in Davos.
Zelensky also told delegates in Davos that a minimum of 200,000 European peacekeepers would be needed as part of any deal to end the war with Russia. “Otherwise it's nothing,” he said.
TASS reported that Putin had a telephone conversation with the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. They are said to have discussed joint projects between the two countries and the situation in the Middle East and Ukraine.
