President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed why he is heading to Washington on Wednesday for a summit with U.S. President Joe Biden and to address Congress in his first known trip outside Ukraine since Russia began its invasion in February 2022.
Invading Russian forces have rained countless numbers of missile and artillery fire on Ukrainian cities — still under Kyiv’s control — across the river from the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, Ukraine said on Saturday.
“I think that, neither myself or anyone who lives in Ukraine, who witnessed the war, can understand why this happened,” Father Andriy said.
If Kyiv gets longer-range rockets, Putin added, Moscow will “draw appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, which we have plenty of, in order to strike at those objects that we haven’t yet struck.”
As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tells it, when Russia invaded 100 days ago, no one expected his country to survive. World leaders advised him to flee.
During a visit to Syria in 2017, Vladimir Putin lavished praise on a Syrian general whose division played an instrumental role in defeating insurgents in the country’s long-running civil war. The Russian president told him his cooperation with Russian troops “will lead to great successes in the future.”
U.S. President Joe Biden has now said Russia’s war in Ukraine amounts to “genocide,” accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to “wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”
Vladimir Putin vowed Tuesday that Russia’s bloody offensive in Ukraine would continue until its goals are fulfilled and insisted the campaign was going as planned, despite a major withdrawal in the face of stiff Ukrainian opposition and significant losses. For how long would the International Community stay away from this battlefield?
The World Bank says Ukraine’s economy will shrink by 45.1% this year because of Russia’s invasion. See how.
Russia is targeting all of Europe with its invasion of Ukraine, and stopping Moscow’s aggression is essential for the security of all democracies, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said as Russian forces prepared for battle in the east of his country.
