# Russia launched its largest-ever drone and missile attack on Ukraine overnight just hours after a telephone call between US and Russian presidents ended without any breakthrough.

President Donald Trump said he had made no progress with Vladimir Putin on ending the war in a call, as the Kremlin insisted Russia would pursue its war aims.
