Ukraine declared an air raid alert over most of the country today, and regional authorities warned of a possible missile attack
The DTEK electricity company said it was performing emergency shutdowns of electro power in the capital Kyiv, the rest of the Kyiv region, and also the regions of Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk due to a danger of missile attack.
"There's a major danger of further aviation and missile attack across the entire territory ," it said in a statement. In a televised address, US President Joe Biden promised 31 Abrams tanks, one of the most powerful and sophisticated weapons in the US army. But with Ukraine gearing up for a counter-offensive to push back increasingly entrenched Russians in the east and south, the allies are now scrambling to send the powerful weapons.
