The United States will announce $3 billion in fresh military aid to Kyiv on Wednesday as Ukraine marks its independence day as well as the six-month anniversary of the Russian invasion.
In Moscow, the Kremlin warned it would show "no mercy" over the assassination of Daria Dugina, the daughter of an ultranationalist intellectual allied with President Vladimir Putin, which it blamed on Ukraine. "According to the results of this investigation, there can be no mercy for those who organized, ordered and carried out" the car bombing, he said.The expected US aid announcement comes as world leaders reasserted their support for Kyiv.
Polish President Andrzej Duda advised against any "appeasement," saying: "There is no return to business as usual in relations with Russia." "Six months, the peace of life has been broken in every family," Nina Mikhailovna, an 80-year-old pensioner, said at Independence Square in central Kyiv.Kyiv's city administration said it would close public service centers on Wednesday and Thursday, and shopping malls here said they would close for the anniversary for safety concerns.
The two sides traded accusations at a Tuesday meeting of the UN Security Council on Zaporizhzhia, with Ukraine and its allies demanding Russia pull its troops out of the plant -- Europe's largest nuclear facility -- and agree to a demilitarized zone.
