"Escalating Conflict: Odessa Port Damaged, Russian Black Sea Fleet HQ Targeted, and Live Updates on Russia's War in Ukraine"

Russian forces launched an aerial attack on the Black Sea port of Odessa, Ukraine, causing significant damage to the port and destroying granaries. Most of the missiles and drones were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses, but a fire broke out in an unused hotel. In other developments, Canada's House of Commons speaker apologized for praising a 98-year-old Ukrainian man who served in a Nazi military unit, a prominent Russian opposition figure was transferred to a maximum-security prison in Siberia, internet censorship has been imposed in Ukraine's occupied Donetsk region, and a bipartisan group of senators stated that there is no evidence of US-provided weapons ending up on the black market in Ukraine. Canada pledged $482 million in defense support to Ukraine, and Finland's foreign minister emphasized the importance of aiding Ukraine and acknowledged that the conflict is not solely Putin's war.
