"Russian Attacks on Ukraine's Energy Grid: Escalating Tensions and Infrastructure Damage"
The White House condemned Russia's recent attack on Ukraine's energy grid, describing it as an attempt by Putin to "plunge" the country "into darkness." The assault, which involved 99 drones and missiles targeting energy infrastructure, has left many without heat, water, and electricity. The White House urged the House to pass a national security bill to provide Ukraine with more air defenses, emphasizing the urgent need for support. Ukrainian President Zelensky has also appealed for increased supply of air defense systems and missiles to counter Russian aggression.
