Reuters Videos11 hours agoSTORY: :: Biden says Ukraine will stop Putin, kicking off NATO summit :: July 9, 2024 :: Joe Biden, U.S. President "But make no mistake, Ukraine can and will stop Putin. Especially with our full collective support. And they have our full support." "Nearly two dozen allied partners have signed a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine, and more countries will follow. Today I'm announcing a historic donation of air defense equipment for Ukraine. The United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania and Italy will provide Ukraine with the equipment for five additional strategic air defense systems. And in the coming months, the United States and our partners intend to provide Ukraine with dozens of additional tactical air defense systems. The United States will make sure that when we export critical air defense interceptors, Ukraine goes to the front of the line." :: Washington, D.C. Biden, 81, has endured 12 days of withering questions about his fitness for office as some of his fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill and campaign donors fear that he will lose the Nov. 5 election after a halting debate performance on June 27. The White House is hoping he can turn the page on speculation with his speech, in which he spoke with a strong and confident voice and avoided any verbal flubs or signs of confusion that marked his debate performance. Biden has rebuffed calls to step aside in his race against Republican Donald Trump, 78, vowing to beat him in November. So far, he still has the support of most of his party's elite. Biden ended his remarks by awarding NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with the U.S.' highest honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

- 2:57Ukraine mourns dozens killed in Russia air attackReuters VideosSTORY: Donations poured in on Tuesday (July 9) to help rebuild the main children's hospital in Kyiv... As Ukraine observed a national day of mourning for the more than 40 people killed a day earlier in a major Russian missile assault which struck cities across the country. The Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, one of the largest in Europe, was devastated during the attack. The U.N. rights head of mission Danielle Bell had a team on the ground. "My team spent most of yesterday at the incident site speaking with medical staff, parents of children and residents that live in the area surrounding the hospital. Analysis of the video footage and an assessment made at the incident site indicates a high likelihood that the children's hospital suffered a direct hit rather than receiving damages due to an intercepted weapon system.” The Ukrainian Security Service also said the hospital was directly hit, releasing photos on Tuesday of what it said were fragments of the Russian missile that struck it. Moscow denies this, saying the hospital was struck by Ukrainian anti-missile fire, without providing evidence. Rescue efforts at the hospital ended early on Tuesday, with two dead and dozens wounded. Flags flew at half mast in Kyiv as the search concluded. And elsewhere in the capital, dashcam footage appears to show the moment a maternity clinic was hit during an attack on Monday (July 8), where at least seven people were found dead. Rescuers also dug through the rubble of a partially destroyed residential building hit by another missile. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on messaging app Telegram that more than 100 buildings were damaged in the attack. And 400 people were involved in the rescue effort. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeated Moscow's insistence that it does not attack civilian targets in Ukraine. Bell said that the attack shows nowhere, including a children's hospital, is safe in Ukraine. "670 child patients, mainly inpatients, were there together with more than a thousand medical staff. At least two children were killed including a female doctor and at least 50 were injured including seven children. Staff had moved the children to a bunker yesterday morning when the air raid sirens first went off otherwise the casualties would have been much higher.” Big Ukrainian businesses rushed to announce donations for the hospital. And while there was no available figure, as of Tuesday Reuters calculations put the amount raised from Ukraine’s corporations at about $7.3 million.21 hours ago

- 2:34Russian missile attack kills at least 36, Ukraine saysReuters VideosSTORY: EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: REFILING TO UPDATE DEATH TOLL. This is the moment a Russian missile hit Kyiv's main children's hospital. In a rare daytime attack, Russia launched a barrage of missiles on cities across Ukraine on Monday (July 8). Dozens were killed, officials said. Tetyana ran out of the building carrying her little girl Edri, her catheter still in place. "We came here five minutes before it all happened. We managed to get to the pedriatic ward, I don't know, it is a nightmare. I do not even know if it was a missile hit or fragments of a missile." After the strike, hundreds of local residents flocked to the hospital offering water and assistance. Svitlana and husband Volodymyr emerged from the hospital bomb shelter. Their two-month-old baby was unharmed, but Svitlana suffered cuts. "My wife has come here, she drove here, then it all started, my son began crying so she did not go to the hospital, she ran to the bomb shelter instead. Then there was the explosion. The car is no more. But we are all ok, there was not enough time for the baby to get scared. But you see what's going on here. No words, even swearwords can describe it. But what matters most is that they are alive, never mind the car, we'll buy a better one. All will be fine." Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said emergency service workers could hear people under the rubble and were racing to save them. The attack on the capital was one of the largest of the war, he added. After the attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was in Poland for a news conference, held a minute of silence and said Ukraine would retaliate for the strikes. The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces carried out strikes on defense industry targets and aviation bases in Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. However, its attacks have killed thousands of civilians since it launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. This one comes a day before leaders of NATO countries are due to begin a three-day summit in Washington with the war in Ukraine high on the agenda.2 days ago

- 2:44Hungary's Orban proposes ceasefire to hurry Ukraine peace talksReuters VideosSTORY: In a surprise visit to Kyiv on Tuesday , Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban gave a clear message on how to end Russia's war in Ukraine. "I asked the president to think about whether we could reverse the order, and speed up peace talks with making a ceasefire first. A ceasefire connected to a deadline would give a chance to speed up peace talks. I explored this possibility with the president and I am grateful for his honest answers and negotiation.” Orban has the warmest relations of any EU leader with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The outspoken critic of Western military aid to Ukraine held talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during his first trip to Kyiv in more than a decade. "We would like to make the relationship between the two countries better. We would like to make a broad bilateral agreement with Ukraine, similar to the ones we already made with our neighbours. We would be happy to take part in the modernisation of Ukraine's economy, we would like an ordered framework for this." He also said he valued Kyiv's push to promote Zelenskiy's vision of peace at an international summit in June. The Ukrainian president, who spoke before Orban, did not respond to those comments. Ties between the neighbors came under heavy strain after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Budapest has often opposed the European Union efforts to support Kyiv. Earlier this year it took EU leaders weeks to break Orban's veto to extend over 50 billion euros in new aid to the war-torn country. Under Orban, Hungary has repeatedly accused Ukraine of curbing the rights of roughly 150,000 ethnic Hungarians living in the far west of Ukraine. Ukraine denies this and says it is open to addressing any concerns. Kyiv is keen to secure Hungary's backing as it relies heavily on financial and military support from the 27-member EU, where unanimity is needed for many decisions.1 week ago
