Russia's attacks came hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced Russia’s “unprovoked aggression,” and told the UN Security Council that if it did not break the grip of Russian veto power, it would be powerless to resolve conflicts around the world.
President Zelensky is set to meet with President Biden, who is working to shore up support in Congress for an additional $24 billion in aid for Ukraine. Zelensky’s trip is happening at a “critical” time, according to the White House, as Ukraine struggles to break through Russian front lines before the start of winter.
