Russia Pounds Eastern Ukraine

“Russia pounded eastern Ukraine on Tuesday as the U.S. defense secretary promised to ‘keep moving heaven and earth’ to get Kyiv the weapons it needs to repel the new offensive even as Moscow warned such support risked widening the war,” the AP reports.

New York Times: “The United States marshaled allies on Tuesday to pledge more military support to Ukraine, accelerating the drive to deter Russia’s offensive and degrade its war machine, as Moscow accused the West of pursuing a proxy war and ignoring the ‘considerable’ risk that it could spiral into a nuclear conflict.”
