US president Donald Trump is ‘not happy with what Putin’s doing’ after Russia launched its largest aerial bombardment of Ukraine since the war began in 2022.

"I'm not happy with what Putin's doing," he told reporters last night. "He's killing a lot of people and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people and I don't like it at all." The president threatened Russia with more sanctions after the US special envoy to Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg, earlier demanded a ceasefire.

The presidential envoy shared a photo of Ukraine's capital ablaze following the aerial attack. He said: "This is Kyiv. The indiscriminate killing of women and children at night in their homes is a clear violation of the 1977 Geneva Peace Protocols designed to protect innocents.

"These attacks are shameful. Stop the killing. Ceasefire now." General Kellogg's statement follows Volodymyr Zelensky's condemnation of the United States' silence after at least 13 people, including three children, were killed in the historic attack on Ukraine.

Ukraine's president said: "The silence of America, the silence of others in the world only encourages Putin." Russia launched 367 drones and missiles in yesterday's onslaught, striking more than 30 cities and villages, according to Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force.
