Ukraine's Brave Defense Thwarts Russian Missile and Drone Assault on Kyiv

Ukrainian air defenses shot down 20 Iranian-made drones launched by Russia at the Kyiv region, but wreckage fell on four districts of the capital, injuring two people and destroying several homes. The attack came after NATO's summit, where Ukraine's membership in the alliance was discussed. Russian President Putin stated that Ukraine joining NATO would threaten Russia's security. Meanwhile, thousands of Ukrainian civilians are detained in prisons across Russia and occupied territories, enduring torture and abuse. President Biden pledged support for Ukraine's defense, and France approved increased military spending due to the war in Ukraine.
