Escalating Air Attacks and Mortal Danger: Ukraine's Critical Week in the Russia-Ukraine War
Ukraine reports nearly 100 air attacks launched by Russia in a single day, targeting multiple regions including Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk. The strikes come after Ukrainian authorities intercepted cruise missiles for the first time in nearly 80 days, with Western intelligence assessments warning of an increased bombardment of civilian infrastructure during the winter. At least one civilian was killed and another injured in the attacks. Ukraine's First Lady, Olena Zelenska, warned that the country is in "mortal danger" without Western military aid, as Republicans in the US Senate blocked foreign aid from advancing.
