Ukraine is in the middle of a tough fight. Russia is attacking both on the ground and from the air. This is making life hard for people in Ukraine, especially as winter brings freezing temperatures. The country's energy system is taking a big hit, leaving many without power.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy recently met with European leaders. They agreed to send new military and energy aid to Ukraine. This support is expected to arrive before the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24.
Zelenskiy expressed gratitude for the promised help. He hopes the deliveries will come on time. The aid includes air-defence missiles, which are crucial for protecting Ukraine's cities from Russian attacks.
Over the past week, Russia has launched around 1, 300 attack drones, 1, 200 guided aerial bombs, and dozens of ballistic missiles at Ukraine. These attacks have caused significant damage to the country's energy infrastructure, leaving millions of people without power in the cold weather.
Ukraine is under pressure from the U. S. to negotiate peace. However, the country is struggling to fend off Russian advances. The new support from European allies is seen as a crucial lifeline in this ongoing conflict.
