What's the latest in Ukraine?
Asked 9 days ago
Answer
Recent Russian missile and drone attacks have caused significant casualties and destruction in Ukraine, particularly in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, with dozens killed and hundreds injured. Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attacks and continues to seek international support. NATO's focus has shifted, with the US reducing its emphasis on Ukraine as central to NATO security, while European allies increase defence spending and support. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing threats from Russian advances and continued international diplomatic efforts.
