Zelenskiy has been pleading for Western countries to supply longer-range missiles and to lift restrictions on using them to hit targets such as military airfields deep inside Russia. U.S. officials have voiced doubts about such a move amid fears of instigating a direct conflict between the West and Russia, but overnight U.S. President Joe Biden suggested that there was room for compromise. Thousands of civilians have died in the war, which Russia started with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Millions of Ukrainians have also been displaced, while many cities and villages have become piles of rubble.

- 2:03Ukraine strikes Moscow in biggest drone attack to dateReuters VideosSTORY: Ukraine on Tuesday (September 10) launched its biggest drone attack to date on Moscow. The 144-drone bombardment killed at least one woman near the capital, Russian authorities said, and wrecked dozens of homes. Russia said it downed at least 20 of Ukraine’s drones as they swarmed over the Moscow region - which has a population of over 21 million. Footage from the city’s Ramenskoye district showed fires breaking out in homes after drones damaged high-rise apartment buildings. And according to Moscow’s regional governor, it was in this district that a woman was killed and three people were injured. Yulia Rodionova is a resident in the area - her windows were shattered and a fragment of a drone was left on her balcony. "A man was taken out from the house number 21 - he had his side burnt and a fragment wound. They also carried out another man, a very elderly one, and quickly got out a woman. That's all I saw, I don't know any more." Russia’s defense ministry said over 70 drones were also downed over the Bryansk region and tens more over other regions. Three of Moscow's four airports were closed for more than six hours and almost 50 flights were diverted. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the strike on Moscow shows the "Kyiv regime" is Russia's enemy - and Russia needs to keep fighting. Kyiv said Russia, which sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, had attacked it overnight with 46 drones - 38 of which were destroyed. As Russia advances in eastern Ukraine, Kyiv has taken the war to Russia. It has executed a cross-border attack in Russia's western Kursk region - which began early last month. And it has been carrying out increasingly large drone attacks deep into Russian territory.1 day ago

The funeral took place on Friday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged Western allies to ignore Moscow's "red lines" and allow Kyiv to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russian territory. At a U.S. hosted gathering of Ukraine's allies in Germany, Zelenskiy presented the long-range strike options as a way to pressure Russia to end the war. Washington pledged a further $250 million in weaponry for Kyiv. Germany promised to supply an additional 12 self-propelled howitzers to Kyiv while Canada said it planned to send more than 80,000 surplus small unarmed air-to-surface rockets as well as 1,300 warheads in the coming months.5 days ago

- 0:47U.S. pledges $250 million more in weaponry for UkraineReuters VideosSTORY: :: Washington announces another $250 million in arms for Kyiv at a meeting in Germany :: Lloyd Austin, U.S. Defense Secretary "Friends, this is a critical moment. Time is of the essence, especially with winter on its way, and we must all step up our support and quickly. So I'm pleased to say that President Biden will announce today an additional $250 million security assistance package for Ukraine. It will surge more capabilities to meet Ukraine's evolving requirements and will deliver them at the speed of war." :: Ramstein, Germany :: September 6, 2024 "So make no mistake. If Ukraine is not free, the world is not safe. But this contact group gives us the structure to keep Ukraine sovereign and secure. The coalition is built to succeed. And it's built to last." Sitting next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who urged Western allies to allow Kyiv to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russian territory, Austin pointed to the Kursk offensive as an example of how Ukraine was working to seize the battlefield initiative. Still, Austin's remarks appeared more focused on the broader effort to sustain Ukraine's campaign to repel Russian forces from its territory, including the announcement that US President Joe Biden approved the additional security assistance for Ukraine. The announcement comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region even as Russian forces are threatening the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.5 days ago
