Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on its 604th day.
A Russian missile targeted homes in Kryvyi Rih in the central Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk, killing one man and leaving a woman in serious condition, the regional governor said on the Telegram messaging app.
"Thanks to all our boys, who powerfully hold the defence and destroy the occupier day after day," Zelenskyy said in a video posted on the Telegram messaging app. The 80-year-old Democrat argued in an impassioned Oval Office speech that the huge sums involved - a total of $105.85 billion, including $61 billion in military aid for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel - would secure US interests for generations.Russia's defence ministry said it had thwarted attempts by Ukrainian troops to establish a foothold on the Russian-controlled bank of the Dnipro river in south Ukraine.
A United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said it had found additional evidence that Russian forces had committed"indiscriminate attacks" and war crimes in Ukraine, including rape and the deportation of children to Russia. "Most of the incidents occurred after the perpetrators broke into the victims' homes," it said."Victims reported rapes at gunpoint and threats of killing or of inflicting other serious harm to the victims or their relatives."Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed Joe Biden's"powerful address" in support of his country's fight against Russia.
"The strict conditions the IOC has defined in its recommendations to the International Federations for the participation of individual neutral athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport in international competitions are compliant with the Olympic Charter."Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don that is overseeing the Ukraine offensive, the Kremlin has said.
Putin said the following day that the weapons, which have a range of 165 kilometres, would have no influence on the war and would only prolong Ukraine's"agony".Saddled with a dysfunctional Congress, President Joe Biden has the task of assuring European Union leaders on Friday that the United States can nonetheless deliver on promises to send tens of billions of dollars worth of aid to wartime Ukraine and Israel.
