Escalation in Russia-Ukraine Conflict with Increased Attacks and Aid Concerns

Russia offers relocation to residents in border city amid Ukrainian attacks, while Ukraine admits to strikes on Russian-occupied Crimea.

• Russia offers to relocate residents in the border city of Belgorod following waves of fatal Ukrainian attacks, marking the furthest-reaching measure taken by any major Russian city since the invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.
• Ukraine has targeted Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, since the start of Moscow’s full-scale offensive. Both sides have escalated attacks in recent days, as the conflict drags on into nearly two years.
• President Joe Biden’s top budget official warns of the rapidly diminishing time that US lawmakers have to replenish aid for Ukraine, as the fate of that money to Kyiv remains tied up in congressional negotiations over immigration.
• Ukraine and the US claim that Russia has used North Korean missiles in its attacks on Ukraine, and is seeking to acquire Iranian missiles.
• Ukraine has admitted it carried out attacks on a Russian military command post and a military unit in separate strikes on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, saying it had inflicted 'serious damage' to Russia's defense system.
