This week, fighting has raged across the frontlines. Russia has also launched a number of missile and drone strikes at targets across Ukraine. A drone attack on an apartment block in Odesa over the weekend killed 12, including five children. On Wednesday, Russia launched a missile strike at Odesa when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were visiting the port. A missile landed several hundred meters from a convoy carrying Zelenskyi. A Russian missile strike on Borova, in Kharkiv region killed one person and injured seven others, including three children. Russia has been consistently dropping glide bombs on civilian areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belgium is ready to use interest made on immobilized Russian assets to fund Ukraine\u2019s defense spending. Ukraine\u2019s allies have lined up nearly all the funding required for a Czech-led initiative to purchase hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
