Kharkiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Russia fired a fresh volley of missiles and drones at Ukraine overnight, wounding dozens of people, Kyiv said Friday, as the United States warned it could end efforts to broker a ceasefire if it did not see progress soon.

After meeting European officials in Paris to discuss Ukraine, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington needed to figure out soon whether a ceasefire was "doable in the short term".

"Because if it's not, then I think we're just going to move on," he told reporters at Le Bourget airport before leaving the French capital.

Russia fired at least six missiles and dozens of drones at Ukraine overnight, killing two people in the eastern regions of Kharkiv and Sumy and wounding 70 others, officials said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed the attack, which came just days before Easter.

"This is how Russia started Good Friday -- with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, shahed drones. A mockery of our people and cities," he said on Telegram.

Did the old guy say he’d end the war in Ukraine on Day 1, too?

Yes, yep, he has been saying, quite specifically the phrase 'on day one' since at least July of 2024.
