Biden condemns ‘Largest Aerial Assault on Ukraine’ by Russia; Calls Urgent Congressional Action
Ukraine Deploys US-Delivered Air Defense Systems to Intercept Missiles and Drones
The United States has condemned a fresh Russian aerial assault on Ukraine described as the most brutal worst since the onset of the war.
This brutal attack involved the use of drones and missiles, some of which had hypersonic capabilities, striking cities and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine, President Joe Biden said.
Tragically, the strikes hit a maternity hospital, a shopping mall, and residential areas, resulting in the loss of innocent lives and numerous injuries, Biden said. “Strikes reportedly hit a maternity hospital, a shopping mall, and residential areas—killing innocent people and injuring dozens more. It is a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped.”
