"Russia's Offensive Intensifies as Zelenskyy Urgently Seeks Aid"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking military aid from Washington as Russia appears to escalate its offensive, launching ballistic missiles on Kyiv. The attack caused power outages and raised concerns about Russia targeting Ukraine's power grid. Zelenskyy's visit to Washington aims to secure a $61 billion military aid package, but the deal has stalled due to disagreements over U.S. immigration policies and Republican skepticism. The lack of aid could jeopardize Ukraine's ability to resist Russian forces and increase the likelihood of Russian military victories. Ukrainian officials warn of Russian advances and attempts to expand control over the Donbas region.
