Donald Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Russian president Vladimir Putin as Moscow intensifies its attacks on Ukraine, US secretary of state Marco Rubio told Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.
The secretary of state expressed to Mr Lavrov that the US president had publicly expressed his disappointment that “there’s not been more flexibility on the Russian side to bring about an end to this conflict”, only a day after Ukraine reported a record-breaking aerial strike which saw more than 700 drones and missiles launched by Russia.
