Russia continued its assault on several key Ukrainian regions, as G7 leaders unite

G7 LEADERS UNITE- As Russia continued its assault on Ukraine, G7 leaders met to discuss the ongoing war.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pushing for more than 100 countries to back America in condemning Russia at the upcoming Emergency UN General Assembly meeting.

In a matter of day, the US will lead the push on a resolution to have Russia punished for its actions in Ukraine.

Russia continued its assault on several key Ukrainian regions on Tuesday, the second day of heavy strikes this week which have targeted the country’s critical infrastructure.

On Monday alone, 19 people died and more than 100 were injured during Russian attacks aimed at key cities.

In response, the United States is set to deliver two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems to Ukraine as quickly as possible.

The White House says the systems will help with Zelensky’s requests for more air defence support.
