Dec 26, 2024, 03:00 AM

U.S. President Joe Biden has directed the Department of Defense to continue increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine in response to Russia's large-scale attack on Christmas Day. The attack targeted Ukrainian cities and critical energy infrastructure, aiming to disrupt access to heat and electricity during winter. Biden condemned the assault as 'outrageous' and emphasized the need for continued U.S. and international support for Ukraine until it triumphs over Russian aggression. In recent months, the U.S. has provided hundreds of air defense missiles to Ukraine, with more on the way.
