In a significant escalation of attacks, Ukraine faced one of the largest assaults in months, prompting urgent calls for assistance from President Biden. Russia unleashed a barrage of over 150 missiles and drones across multiple Ukrainian cities, resulting in dozens of casualties and widespread destruction. This aerial onslaught, unlike anything witnessed since the beginning of the war two years ago, targeted schools, parks, malls, homes, hospitals, including a maternity ward.
The intensity and scale of the attack caught the attention of the international community, leading President Biden to urge Congress and other nations to step in and support Ukraine. This comes at a critical juncture when Ukraine received its final package of military aid from the United States, pending further approval from Congress for additional funding.
