New today, a top Ukrainian military official is putting pressure on France to send military instructors to train Ukrainian military personnel. This move would mark a significant shift in a NATO member country's involvement in Ukraine's war with Russia. The death toll has risen after a Russian strike on a hardware store in Kharkiv, killing 18 people and injuring dozens more.
Ukrainian officials discovered an unexploded Russian glide bomb near the blast site in Kharkiv, bringing the death toll to 18 with nearly 50 injured. Smoke billowed across Ukraine's second city as a result of the explosion. Ukraine is facing a manpower crisis on its front lines due to the ongoing conflict with Russia, which has a larger population.
