If his latest remarks are anything to go by, President Donald Trump’s loss of patience with the Kremlin appears to be gathering pace.

Officials say Russian glide bombs and ballistic missiles have struck a Ukrainian prison and a medical facility as Russia’s relentless strikes on civilian areas killed at least 27 people across the country.
