Global economic powers have pledged to beef up Ukraine's military capabilities with a focus on air defence, as Russian missiles, artillery and drones hammered targets in Ukraine with no end in sight to Europe's biggest conflict since World War II.
British Defence Minister Ben Wallace said on Monday he would be"open minded" about supplying Ukraine with longer-range missiles to target launch sites for Russian drones that have hit infrastructure if Russia carried on targeting civilian areas.Find out more about the UK government's response: https://t.
Russia has denied targeting civilians but the war has displaced millions and killed thousands of non-combatants. Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa yesterday resumed operations suspended after Russia used Iranian-made drones to hit two energy plants two days earlier.Separately, European Union foreign ministers agreed to put €2bn more into a fund that has been used to pay for military support for Ukraine, after it was largely depleted.
Fierce fighting in the region in recent weeks has left unclear which parts of Donetsk are under Russian and Ukrainian control. Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-installed official in Zaporizhzhia region, shared video on his Telegram channel of what he said was the bridge and blamed Ukrainian"terrorists" for the damage.
