The Ukrainian government is making an urgent plea to its Western backers for tens of billions of dollars in additional funding, citing a narrow window of opportunity to pressure Moscow into reevaluating its objectives.
Moscow has responded to these calls by intensifying its military actions. On Thursday morning, Kiev was hit by one of the largest Russian strikes on the capital since the conflict escalated in 2022.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released a list of targeted locations, which includes production facilities for Ukrainian deep-strike drones and missiles, as well as other sites critical to Ukraine's war effort.
