US President Donald Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Russian President Vladimir Putin this evening over ongoing strikes in Ukraine.
He had hoped a meeting with the Russian leader in Alaska last month would help peace talks - but no deal or follow up meeting has been agreed since.
"I'm very disappointed in him - he knows. We have a great relationship," Trump told the Scott Jennings Radio Show.
"Very disappointed, thousands of people are dying. They're not Americans that are dying, but they're Russians and they're Ukrainians, and there are thousands."
It comes as the original September 2 deadline set by Trump for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal has passed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was engaged in a new troop buildup along certain sectors of the frontline and was still launching strikes on Ukrainian targets. He said Russian forces had targeted Ukraine with 150 drones overnight, more than 50 in the morning and "dozens" more in the evening.
At least 25 people were killed and 63 people, including 11 children, in a single attack by Russia last week.

All Ukraine’s bold attacks on Russia after nuclear plant hit in Kursk
00:00 , Steffie BanatvalaAs Ukrainians gathered to mark Independence Day across the country last Sunday, Russia accused Kyiv of launching dozens of drones at a nuclear power plant in Kursk.
The attack, which sparked a large fire and destroyed parts of the plant’s infrastructure, was one of the most audacious attacks on Russian territory so far this year.
But experts have said that Ukraine has one of the best combat-ready armies in Europe.
Russia targeted Ukraine with 150 drones overnight, Zelensky says
23:30 , Rebecca WhittakerUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was engaged in a new troop buildup along certain sectors of the frontline and was still launching strikes on Ukrainian targets.
"Now we see another buildup of Russian forces in certain sectors of the front. He refuses to be forced into peace," Zelensky said in his nightly video address, referring to Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
Zelensky provided no further details, but said "Russia continues to launch strikes. Of course, we will respond to this."

Slovakia wants to normalise relations with Russia, PM Fico says
16:30 , Steffie BanatvalaSlovakia wants to normalise its relations with Moscow and is increasing imports of Russian gas through the TurkStream pipeline, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico told Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
The comments clashed with the position of the European Union, which is seeking to wean itself off Russian energy imports to punish Moscow over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and come at a critical phase in efforts to end the conflict.

Former Ukraine parliament speaker laid to rest after assassination
16:19 , Steffie BanatvalaUkrainians paid tribute to prominent politician Andriy Parubiy as he was buried on Tuesday after being gunned down in a daytime attack on Saturday, the second assassination in the western city of Lviv in just over a year.
As mourners streamed across cobblestone streets, the motives behind the killing of Parubiy, who played a key role in a pro-democracy uprising in 2014 that ousted a pro-Russian president, and later served as parliament speaker, remained unclear.
Ukrainian police, who have detained the alleged gunman, said on Monday they suspected Russian involvement. Moscow, which has waged a full-scale war in Ukraine since February 2022, has not commented on that claim.

Analysis: President Xi has never enjoyed such global prestige – thanks to Trump’s wrecking ball to the West
13:30 , World affairs editor, Sam KileyXi’s international prestige is at an all-time high. And Trump gave it to him.
Xi could have been addressing his thoughts directly to the White House when he said, at Monday’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, that the world was going through “turbulent change” and what is needed is an orderly “multipolar world”.
China, he believes, is the candidate to lead that multipolar world as first among equals, while Trump has swung a wrecking ball against the foundations of international law which underpin global security.
In the first months of his second term, the US president has attacked his own allies. He has echoed Vladimir Putin’s imperial ambitions by voicing threats against Canada and Denmark. He has also abandoned climate change and global democracy as strategic policies worth pushing.
Trump’s moves to undermine the West have not only made Xi look good - but make him more powerful.
Erdogan says Putin, Zelensky 'not yet ready' for face-to-face meet on war

2,000 North Korean casualties fighting for Russia in Ukraine: South Korea spy agency
08:30 , Steffie BanatvalaNorth Korea casualties fighting for Russia in Ukraine war have been estimated at 2,000, a South Korea spy agency reportedly said.
Kim Jong Un has heavily backed his ally Vladimir Putin in the war in Ukraine, supplying over 15,000 troops for deployment in Russia's Kursk region.
Kim Jong Un could be treated on par with Vladimir Putin in China, South Korea says
07:58 , Arpan RaiIsolated North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set to be treated diplomatically on a par with Russian president Vladimir Putin during their visits to China, intelligence officials in South Korea have said.
North Korea observers are paying keen attention to the way China's Xi interacts with Kim and Putin, the two aggressors in the Ukraine war. The three leaders, despite all being close allies, have never before held a trilateral meeting.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service today said Kim will likely receive special protocol and security measures akin to those given to Putin, said Lee Seong Kweun, a lawmaker who attended the meeting.
Kim may also be seen standing alongside Xi and Putin on the rostrum in Tiananmen Square during tomorrow’s military parade, the South Korean spy agency said.
It is also anticipated that Kim will hold bilateral meetings with the Chinese and Russian leaders and interact with other heads of state at a reception and cultural performance as he seeks to further break out of isolation and expand his diplomatic footing, Lee said.
This is Kim's first visit to China since 2019 and the fifth visit to the neighbouring nation in total since he inherited power upon his father's death in late 2011.
Kim possibly meeting Xi bilaterally as well and holding trilateral meeting with Xi and Putin. The three leaders have met bilaterally previously but have yet to hold a trilateral meeting.
North Korean documentary lionises soldier suicides in Ukraine
07:35 , Arpan RaiNorth Korea has released a documentary about its soldiers' exploits fighting for Russia in the Ukraine war, including accounts of soldiers blowing themselves up with grenades.
In the documentary aired on Sunday night by North Korea’s state-run Korean Central Television, two young North Korean soldiers, Yun Jong-hyuk, 20, and Woo Hi-Hyuk, 19, hugged each other and used a grenade to kill themselves after being ambushed by the Ukrainian forces. North Korean officials have labeled such battlefield suicides as “heroic sacrifices”.
Kim Jong Un has heavily backed his ally Vladimir Putin in the war in Ukraine, supplying over 15,000 troops for deployment in Russia's Kursk region.
Another episode recounted in the documentary features a 22-year-old soldier killing himself with a grenade after being wounded, “heroically” stopping his comrades from trying to save him.
Ukrainian officials have previously described North Korean soldiers using suicide as a method of avoiding being captured alive.
The documentary listed hundreds of North Korean war dead, touting their sacrifices as "the start of their bright eternal life."

Putin's bombing campaign on Ukraine since Alaska summit with Trump
06:09 , Arpan RaiRussian president Vladimir Putin dangled the prospect of peace in Ukraine when he met with his US counterpart Donald Trump in Alaska’s Anchorage last month.
The two met on 15 August, but did not agree a ceasefire. Instead, it was Trump who changed his tune – adopting the Russian line that a ceasefire wasn't necessary, and only a full peace agreement could end the war.
In the weeks that followed, Russia has significantly amped up its missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities, a development Trump's treasury secretary Scott Bessent has called "despicable".
This graph from the Institute for the Study of War shows the spike in Russian attacks after the summit between Putin and Trump.
That period includes three overnight bombardments that involved 500 or more drones plus missiles, and one of the most devastating air raids on Kyiv since the war began.
NEW: The Kremlin appears to have launched a coordinated informational effort posturing military strength on the battlefield in order to shape Western thinking and falsely portray a Russian victory as inevitable.

China's Xi rolls out carpet for Ukraine war aggressors Putin and Kim
05:47 , Arpan RaiChina's Xi Jinping is set to convene today with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for their first trilateral gathering, while Donald Trump and other Western leaders watch from afar.
Kim and Putin will join the Chinese president to watch the massive military parade tomorrow in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and China's fight against Japan's wartime aggressions.
North Korea’s Kim crossed into China in the early hours today aboard his special train, en route to the capital Beijing. Xi and Putin, meanwhile, gathered at the Great Hall of the People for a meeting with Mongolia's leader expected to touch on a vast gas pipeline project and bilateral talks.
In the talks, Putin thanked his "dear friend" Xi for the warm welcome and said the close communication showed Russia's relations with China were at an "unprecedentedly high level", according to a video posted on the Kremlin's official Telegram messaging app.
"We must continue to take a clear stand against hegemonism and power politics," Xi told a gathering of more than 20 leaders of non-Western countries at a summit yesterday, in a thinly veiled swipe at his geopolitical rival across the Pacific Ocean.
The gathering of what Western analysts have dubbed the 'Axis of Upheaval' could build on a mutual defence pact signed by Russia and North Korea in June 2024, and a similar alliance between Beijing and Pyongyang, an outcome that may alter the military calculus in the Asia-Pacific region.
The union of the three leaders, two of whom are rendered global pariahs over their war efforts, underscore the Chinese president's influence over authoritarian regimes intent on redefining the Western-led global order, while Trump's isolationist stance strains long-standing US alliances.

Ukrainian children forced to learn underground as new year starts in the shadow of Russian assaults
04:59 , Arpan RaiPupils across Ukraine returned to school on Monday, embarking on a new academic year under the shadow of Russia’s ongoing invasion, with many lessons now taking place underground.
Since the war began in February 2022, schools have innovated to keep education alive.
In Bobryk, a village in the northern Sumy region, close to the front line, one school moved its classrooms into a basement two years ago.
This drastic step was taken as air raid alerts could stretch for up to 20 hours, paralysing surface-level classes.
Principal Oleksii Korenivskyi emphasised the critical importance of their work, stating: "We must do everything so this generation is not lost. Time is the only thing you cannot make up.
“This is our future, and we must give it everything we have."

US treasury threatens new sanctions on Putin for recent attacks: 'All options on table'
04:28 , Arpan RaiRussian president Vladimir Putin has gone back on his word at the Alaska summit with Donald Trump by increasing his “despicable” bombing campaign against Ukrainian cities, US treasury secretary Scott Bessent says.
On being asked if the Trump administration is considering new sanctions against Russia, Bessent said: “All options are on the table.”
Since that meeting in Anchorage last month, Putin has “done the opposite of following through on what he indicated he wanted to do. As a matter of fact, he has, in a despicable, despicable manner, increased the bombing campaign,” Bessent told Fox News yesterday.
“So I think with President Trump, all options are on the table, and I think we’ll be examining those very closely this week," he added.
At least 25 people were killed and 63 people, including 11 children, in a single attack by Russia last week.
