Last night, the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv came under Russian missile fire again. Loud explosions were heard, two people were slightly injured when the windows of four residential buildings were broken, Mayor Igor Terekhov announced.
And in the Russian Smolensk region, a fire broke out in fuel warehouses and energy facilities. Governor Vasily Anokhin blamed Ukraine for the drone attack. The governor of the Lipetsk region in southwestern Russia, Igor Artamonov, wrote on Telegram that a drone had fallen in the local industrial zone. According to him, there were no injuries, but he did not add whether there was any damage or what the target was. Reuters specifies that it cannot confirm the information.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the Senate for the approved military and economic aid.
“The vote in Congress strengthens America’s role as a beacon of democracy and leader of the free world,” Zelensky also wrote in Telegram.
“I hope that the bill will soon be signed by President Biden,” Zelensky also wrote.
The United States is the main donor of military aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
The new aid package has been blocked for months in Congress and is the first approved since the Republican Party took control of the House of Representatives in January of last year.
“We will increase the intensity of attacks on logistics centers and arsenals with Western weapons,” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu threatened yesterday in reaction to the vote in the US Congress on a new aid package for Ukraine.
