Ukraine war live updates: Zelenskyy says EU aid approval sends 'clear signal' to both Moscow and the U.S.; French citizens killed in Russian strike

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to the European Union (EU) for approving a 50 billion euro aid package for Ukraine. He described it as a clear signal of unity to Moscow and also emphasized the need for the United States to provide further aid. Zelenskyy highlighted that the aid program would ensure financial stability and social welfare for Ukrainians. While the passage of additional aid in the US has stalled, Zelenskyy emphasized the significance of Europe’s commitment and expressed hope for America’s decisions. The US has been Ukraine’s biggest military supporter, but new funds are required for further assistance. A revised bill is expected to be released soon, but its passage through the Republican-controlled House of Representatives remains uncertain.
