Russia unleashed a new barrage of missiles on Ukraine on Monday, killing two people, destroying homes in the southeast and causing major power outages, officials said.
The United States on Friday announced an additional $400 million in military aid to Ukraine. U.S. will pay for 45 T-72 tanks from the Czech Republic to be refurbished and funding to refurbish some Hawk air defense missiles. Ukraine is fighting Russian-backed rebels in the east of the country.
Russia's invasion of its neighbour, now in its fifth week, has driven around a quarter of Ukrainians from their homes and brought Russian-Western tensions to their worst point since the Cold War.
