"Russian Missile Attacks on Kyiv Leave Dozens Injured and Children's Hospital Damaged"

The European Union is waiting for Hungary to take a final step in unlocking billions of euros in development aid for Budapest, which has been frozen due to concerns over Prime Minister Viktor Orban's judicial reforms. Meanwhile, Russia's ambassador to the U.S. criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's trip to the U.S., stating that "everyone is tired of the beggar from Kyiv." Ukraine is seeking support from the EU, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calling for the bloc to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, despite Hungary's opposition. In the midst of escalating tensions, Kyiv was targeted by a ballistic missile attack, injuring over 50 people and causing significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. President Zelenskyy is currently visiting Norway and is set to meet with Nordic leaders. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna believes there are enough options for the EU to pass a 50 billion euro aid package for Ukraine, despite Hungary's threats to veto it. Additionally, Ukraine's largest mobile operator, Kyivstar, suffered a cyberattack that partially destroyed its IT infrastructure. The Kremlin is closely monitoring the upcoming meeting between President Biden and President Zelenskyy, stating that additional funding for Ukraine will not impact the progress of Russia's military operation.
