US President Joe Biden has condemned a major attack on Ukraine by Russia, calling it “outrageous.” The attack, which launched on Christmas Day, targeted Ukraine’s energy supplies and infrastructure using 78 air and ground missiles and 106 drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the assault as “inhumane.”
Biden said the US will continue to support Ukraine with military aid, citing equipment already sent to the country since Russia invaded in 2022. He also stated that more aid is on its way.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to meet with incoming president Joe Biden to discuss a potential truce. However, former president Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about US aid to Ukraine and advocated for a deal between Kyiv and Moscow.
The US special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, also condemned the attack, calling it “wrong” on Christmas Day. The international community is watching closely as tensions escalate in the region.
