"Escalation in Ukraine: Kyiv Under Fire with Ballistic Missiles Post-Biden Meeting"
Russia launched a large-scale missile attack targeting Kyiv, Ukraine, shortly after Ukrainian President Zelensky met with President Biden in Washington. At least 53 people were injured by debris after Ukrainian air defenses shot down 10 ballistic missiles. The attacks were described as a "heinous" crime by Zelensky, who referred to Russia as a "terrorist" state. The exact type of missiles used is unclear, but there was extensive damage to residential areas and infrastructure. Zelensky announced that powerful new agreements had been reached with the Biden administration to bolster Ukraine's air defenses. Germany and Norway are also providing air defense systems to Ukraine. The latest attack follows previous missile strikes and long-range cruise missile attacks by Russia. The U.S. intelligence report estimates that 315,000 Russian troops have been killed or injured since the invasion of Ukraine began, significantly impacting Russia's military capabilities.
