"Ukraine's Counter-Offensive Progress and Devastating Consequences in the Russia-Ukraine War"

The $325 million US military aid package to Ukraine will not include the long-range ATACMS missiles, but will include advanced air-defense systems, cluster munitions, rockets, and anti-tank weaponry. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recounted the "horrific abuses" committed by Russian soldiers in the town of Yahidne, where they imprisoned the entire population in a school basement. Russian mortars killed two civilians in Toretsk, and Ukrainian forces launched attacks near the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk border but made no significant gains. Poland has stopped sending military aid to Ukraine due to an ongoing grain dispute.
