Escalating Conflict in Ukraine

Recent missile strikes in Poltava, Ukraine, have caused significant casualties, injuring hundreds and trapping many under rubble. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized international allies for restrictive policies that limit Ukraine's use of long-range weapons against Russian military targets, which have hindered their ability to counter missile attacks effectively. Amidst a growing number of Russian offensives across Ukraine, Ukrainian leaders have intensified their calls for changes in policy to better protect their homeland. The situation emphasizes the urgent need for strategic military support from global allies to bolster Ukraine's defenses against continued Russian aggression.
