Deadly Strikes and Aid Package in Ukraine-Russia Conflict

Russia launched deadly missile strikes on towns and cities across Ukraine, killing at least eight people and injuring many others. The attacks came as Chinese leader Xi Jinping departed from Moscow following talks with President Vladimir Putin, which failed to achieve a breakthrough on Ukraine. The strikes were described as a "deliberate strike" to "kill civilians" by a senior Ukrainian official. The Ukrainian president called the attack "bestial savagery" and vowed to respond. The Biden administration stopped short of accusing Russia of targeting civilians but said it is consistent with previous such attacks.
