US Announces $400 Million Aid To Ukraine As Kyiv Says It Repelled Russian Attempt To Open New Front
Ukraine said Russia's attempts to break through the defensive lines Russia did not succeed, and added that "not a single meter has been lost".
KYIV/KHARKIV- The United States has announced $400 million in aid to Ukraine as Kyiv announced that it has repelled an attempt by Russia to open up a new front in north-eastern Kharkiv by penetrating the front lines via a large-scale ground offensive.
The Russian armed forces also reported that it "wiped out" Ukrainian power infrastructure, military industry enterprises and rail road infrastructure, claiming that it was in response to attempts by Kyiv to damage Russian power infrastructure and its Armed Forces defense industry enterprises.
Kharkiv regional head Oleh Syniehubov said that reconnaissance groups by Russia had attempted to penetrate the border in order to break through the front-lines, but added that "not a single meter has been lost".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, "Russia has launched a new wave of counteroffensive operations in the Kharkiv sector".
He stated, "Today, Russian forces attempted to expand their operations against Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. We know the size of the occupiers' forces and their intentions. Our warriors, artillery, and drones are fighting back against the occupier.
I thank each soldier, sergeant, and officer who is defending our positions. We are strengthening Kharkiv directions. Along the state border and on the frontlines, we will continue to destroy the occupiers and thwart Russia's offensive intentions.
It is critical that partners support our warriors and Ukrainian resilience with timely deliveries. Truly timely ones. A package that truly helps is the actual delivery of weapons to Ukraine, rather than just the announcement of a package.
I thank every leader who sees the situation this way. We also continue to actively prepare for the Global Peace Summit. Our goal is to ensure that every leader can demonstrate effectiveness for the sake of the common good. I am confident we will succeed.
And we must acknowledge that this is precisely what Russia is attempting to undermine right now. The more meaningful the summit, the closer peace will be.
Putin obviously does not want it. It is also clear that he will continue to try to thwart our efforts, both through offensive action and by undermining our agreements with other leaders.
We must not allow this to happen and we will make every effort in this regard."
