Russia launches multiple missiles towards Ukraine on Friday (audio & text)
Russia fired multiple missiles across Ukraine. Lives were lost, power and water supplies were damaged. With the war expected to continue, Western countries announced fresh aid for Ukraine. Song Yoo-jin has the latest. Russia launched multiple missiles towards Ukraine on Friday, resulting in casualties and damage to critical infrastructure. At least two people were killed and five left injured in the central city of Kryvyi Rih. In the capital Kyiv, all districts are experiencing water supply disruptions and all lines of its metro service have been suspended. The country's second-largest city, Kharkiv, has been left without electricity. According to the spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, 60 missiles were launched in Friday's attack. Among them, strategic bombers were used for the first time during Russia's war.
It seems that intense fighting will drag on. Both sides have ruled out a Christmas ceasefire and there are no talks aimed at ending the war. And Ukraine predicts Russia will carry out fresh assaults from early next year. During an interview with The Economist Magazine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his senior military officials said that could happen as soon as January. This could include Moscow's second attempt to capture the capital Kyiv. To aid the war-struck country, the West is ramping up more support for the new year. "This European Council confirmed and supported decisions that are in process, such as the 18 billion euros in macro-financial assistance for Ukraine. And then, we're very happy to announce that we have also succeeded in concluding an agreement for a ninth sanctions package against Russia."
In the United States, Congress on Thursday passed its annual defense bill that allocates 8-hundred million dollars for security assistance to Ukraine. The Pentagon has also announced it will expand training for Ukrainian troops in Germany from January.
