The European Union is reportedly considering a new Ukraine aid plan that, if approved, would give $1.5 billion to Ukraine every month in 2023. The latest:
Ukrainian officials have identified Monday's strike by Russia as one of the largest experienced since the war began in late February. The strikes spread over several regions in Ukraine at a time when many civilians were on their way to work or school, leading officials like Ukrainian presidential adviser Andriy Yermak to allege that the strikes aimed to create"a humanitarian crisis" rather than secure a particular military objective, according to The Associated Press.
About $9 billion has already been earmarked for Ukraine by the EU since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, but the ongoing war has elongated Ukraine's need for financial and military assistance. The U.S. is reportedly considering contributing $1.5 billion per month to Ukraine in 2023 and has asked international partners to consider doing the same, according to Politico and Bloomberg.
Zelensky identified air defense as"the number 1 priority in our defense cooperation" in a Monday tweet that followed his conversation with Biden. Zelensky said Ukraine also needs the U.S. to support Ukraine's latest resolution before the United Nations General Assembly and to provide leadership on a"tough stance" with the G7.. Air defense is currently the number 1 priority in our defense cooperation.
Biden was among many world leaders who condemned the latest Russian strikes, a position he reiterated during his call with Zelensky. Biden also"pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems" and said the U.S. is continuing to work with international partners to impose sanctions on Russia and provide assistance to Ukraine, according to the White House.
