Ukraine faces ongoing conflict and challenges in war with Russia.

Ukrainian forces have attacked a bridge connecting the Kherson region and Crimea, according to officials appointed by Russia in both regions. The Chongar bridge was damaged by Storm Shadow missiles, but no casualties were reported. The bridge is a key link between Russian-held parts of Kherson and the Crimean peninsula. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked allies, including the US, UK and EU, for pledging support packages on the first day of a London-hosted conference on Ukrainian recovery.
