NPR – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Luxembourg’s parliament that Russia now occupies about 20% of Ukraine and the Russian army “has already destroyed almost the entire Donbas.” He made a plea for more weapons and for more sanctions on Russia. Separately, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba thanked U.S. officials for authorizing $700 million in new military aid, including long-range rocket systems. The Biden administration plans to sell Ukraine drones that can be armed with Hellfire missiles, a U.S. official confirmed to NPR. The drones, whose sale requires congressional approval, would be a significant upgrade to the smaller, shorter range unmanned aerial systems that Ukraine has been using.
