Russia unleashed a record air strike on Ukraine, as US President Donald Trump expressed disappointment over the outcome of his latest phone call with Vladimir Putin aimed at bringing an end to the war.

It was the latest in a series of almost weekly large-scale missile and drone attacks. President Trump said he “didn’t make any progress” with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

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.
