Ukraine shifted the momentum of the conflict with 'extraordinary gains,' but needs more help to keep fighting
More than 50 Western nations met Wednesday to promise more weapons for Ukraine, which welcomed the pledge and was said to be reclaiming more territory from Russia in the south of the war-torn country.
Opening the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO’s headquarters in Belgium, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Russia’s latest wave of missile attacks this week laid bare the “malice and cruelty” of its war.
Russia for two days pummeled Ukraine with missiles, damaging energy facilities nationwide, in attacks that Russian President Vladimir Putin said were retaliation for a deadly explosion at the Crimea bridge. Using more than 100 missiles, the attacks killed more than 26 people across Ukraine since Monday.
Ukraine shifted the momentum of the conflict since September with "extraordinary" gains, but would need more help to keep fighting, Austin said.
