Russian forces launched 114 strikes using drones and missiles, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >intensifying thier assault<\/a> on Ukrainian cities. Amid these escalations, efforts toward a peace agreement, which have been facilitated by former President Donald Trump, seem increasingly unproductive. President Trump&#8217;s previous critical stance toward Ukraine has shifted, with him now expressing frustration toward President Vladimir Putin and indicating a willingness to consider sanctions against Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western allies to apply more pressure on russia to achieve a ceasefire, noting that the strikes are becoming more aggressive. Trump has stated he would give Putin a two-week deadline to show commitment toward resolving the conflict or risk being viewed as prolonging the war. Despite earlier claims that he could swiftly end the conflict,efforts for a peace deal have proven significantly more complex than anticipated.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Russia bombards Ukraine overnight as Trump&rsquo;s patience with Putin wears thin<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2135769\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ukraine\">Ukraine<\/a> suffered another bombardment of aerial attacks from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ukraine\">Russia<\/a> Friday night into Saturday morning as successful talks toward a peace deal to end the war appear far from happening.<\/p>\n<p>There were 114 aerial attacks on Ukraine via drones and missiles overnight, with at least 10 people being killed and 33 others injured due to the Russian attacks, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/10-killed-33-injured-russian-attacks-ukraine-overnight\/story?id=122375968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"according to ABC News\">according to ABC News<\/a>.
