Ukraine speaks openly about it “serious” human losses for the invasion of Russian troops into his country. This is what the consultant said Oleksiy Arestovychwho, without going into detail, added that Russia is also suffering “colossal” losses in this war.
From the Ukrainian General Staff, they assure that Russia is bombing positions along the battle line to prevent its troops from regrouping, while commenting that Russia has suffered fewer casualties after reducing the scale of its invasion, but the numbers were still there “quite large“.
The President of the United States Joe Bidenasked Congress to send up to $33,000 million to help Kyiv resist the attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi praised Biden’s offer of help almost 10 times the aid Washington has sent so far since the war began on February 24.
In the last few hours, the body of a journalist from RadioLiberty in Kyiv was found in the rubble. The professional was killed in a Russian missile attack during a visit by the UN Secretary-General.
After a failed attack on Kyiv in northern Ukraine last month, Russia is now trying to conquer it the Donbass region. Ukraine has admitted it has lost control of some towns and villages there since the attack began last week, but says Moscow’s gains have come at a huge cost for a Russian force already hampered by their previous defeat in the was worn down near the capital.
By promising dozens of billion dollars In helping Ukraine, Biden has dramatically increased America’s involvement in the conflict. The United States and its allies are now sending in heavy weapons, including artillerywith which Washington, according to its own statements, not only wants to fend off the Russian attack, but also to weaken its armed forces so that they do not threaten their neighbors again.
“We need this law to support Ukraine in its fight for freedom,” Biden said. “The cost of this fight is not small, but giving in to aggression will cost more,” he added. Prior to the news, Zelenskyy thanked the United States for supporting Ukraine: “We defend common values: democracy and freedom. We appreciate the help. Today it is needed more than ever!”
While proposed US aid amounts to more than 20% of Ukraine’s GDP in 2020the World Bank estimates that war will decrease over 45% of Ukraine’s GDP this year and will affect growth in other parts of the world. Some of Russia’s neighbors fear Moscow could attack them next.
