US President Donald Trump has said he is "unhappy" with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and may even launch fresh sanctions on Moscow as ceasefire talks continue to stall. Just hours after a phone call between the two leaders on Thursday, Russia hit Ukraine with a huge air barrage, targeting Kyiv and other major cities.

Russia launched a record number of drones at Ukraine overnight into Friday, striking multiple buildings and residential areas, hours after US President Donald Trump said he had made “no progress” towards a ceasefire deal in a phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

The president repeatedly said on the campaign trail that he would bring an end to the war in the first 24 hours of his second term.
