The US announced a $1.2 billion package to bolster Ukraine’s air defenses and supply ammunition as President Vladimir Putin reinforced his war aims at a parade marking Russia’s World War II Victory Day holiday.
In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hosted European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, who said the European Union is doing everything it can “to erode Putin’s war machine and his revenues.” Multiple explosions were heard in the capital early Tuesday, marking the fifth aerial attack on the city this month.
