"Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the Peace Deal DONE!" he said in a post on Truth Social.

The overnight strikes killed at least eight people and injured 77 more, local officials said.

Trump's comments came after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the US could put more pressure on Russia to secure a ceasefire.

"We believe that if more pressure is applied to Russia, we'll be able to make our positions closer," Zelensky told reporters on a visit to South Africa.
