Western support is flooding in for Ukraine after Russia launched a number of deadly strikes on key cities

Western support for Ukraine is seemingly at an all-time high.

U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin have travelled to Brussels to further discussions on how best to continue supporting the war-torn nation.

The meeting was attended by delegates from more than 50 countries as the war nears its eighth month.

Ukraine is pleading with the West to provide Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, ammunition, artillery and air defences – including more missiles.

Russia’s recent attacks have seen civilian infrastructure destroyed, while innocent civilians have been struck and killed.

Russian War Crimes

Milley labeled these indiscriminate attacks as a “war crime.”

“Russia has deliberately struck civilian infrastructure with the purpose of harming civilians,” Milley told reporters following a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Brussels.

“They have targeted the elderly, the women and the children of Ukraine. Indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on civilian targets is a war crime in the international rules of war,” he said.

Moscow’s increasing attacks on Ukraine has seen a barrage of air strikes hitting more than a dozen cities and killing at least 19 people.

On top of this, more than 100 have been injured, with the United Nations describing the destruction as “particularly shocking”.

Austin, who spoke alongside Milley, was also frank in his perspectives regarding the ongoing invasion.

He says Moscow’s newest attacks “reveal the malice of Putin’s war of choice.”

But believes that the strikes have only strengthened the resolve of Western allies to help Ukraine.

“Putin assumed that his forces could quickly conquer all of Ukraine. He assumed that he could roll into Kyiv. That Ukraine could never mount a counteroffensive to retake its sovereign territory in Kharkiv and beyond,” Austin said.

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to see how mistaken all those assumptions were—well, just look at the battlefield today,” he added.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
