Ukraine War: Shocking New Footage Shows Aftermath of Russian Missile Strike

The missile came without warning, and the result was devastating. At least 16 people had been killed and many more seriously injured in a missile attack on a market in Ukraine. In the terrible aftermath, rescue workers rushed to apply tourniquets and load the injured into vans. In footage too distressing to show, the streets around the market are strewn with bodies, some still on fire from the attack. Local people gathered nearby were in a state of shock and despair. Some of them were seen lifting the tarpaulins covering the dead in a desperate search for missing loved ones. This is one of the deadliest Russian strikes in months, and it adds weight to the allegation that Vladimir Putin's regime is deliberately targeting civilians in an attempt to break the resolve of Ukraine and its allies. But if that's the objective, then there's no sign that it's working. In Washington, D.C., the White House declared it stood with the Ukrainian people, while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, currently visiting Ukraine, announced $1 billion in additional funding towards the war effort. The United States is committed to empowering Ukraine to write its own future. In the crucible of President Putin's brutal and ongoing war, the United States and Ukraine have forged a partnership that is stronger than ever, and growing every day. We will continue to stand by Ukraine's side, and today we're announcing new assistance totaling more than $1 billion. While meeting with Blinken, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the war was about more than just Ukraine. What is being decided here in Ukraine is not just about Ukraine, it's about the way the world will look like, because if Russia manages to succeed, even partially, it will be a clear motivational signal, a clear encouragement to all other malign forces across the globe to solve problems through the use of force. In an apparent policy U-turn, the U.S. has also pledged to supply depleted uranium shells for use in its M1 Abrams tanks, due to be delivered to Ukraine later this year.
