European countries pledged billions of dollars in new recovery assistance for Ukraine as it mounts a counteroffensive in a bid to recapture swaths of the country from Russia. The conference on rebuilding a nation still at war comes as fighting rages in the east and drone attacks target cities from the capital, Kyiv, to Lviv in the west.
In a video feed, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke at the event and thanked his country’s allies for the support. A significant accounting error led the Pentagon to overvalue the amount of military equipment sent to Ukraine. A Pentagon spokesman described this as “valuation errors,” and it will allow for sending more weapons to Ukraine now before requesting more money from Congress, The Post reports.
