President Vladimir Putin openly admits Russia’s efforts to destroy civilian infrastructure, which could be a war crime because they have no military purpose.

U.S. officials said Tuesday that Washington was poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the possibility that Patriot missiles from the U.S. may further boost defenses.

The G-7 leaders supported Zelensky’s appeal, saying in a statement after their meeting that “Russia can end this war immediately by ceasing its attacks against Ukraine and completely and unconditionally withdrawing its forces from the territory of Ukraine.”
