🇺🇸 Biden Calls for Increased Support for Ukraine After Russia’s Christmas Attack

President Joe Biden condemned the attack as “outrageous,” stating that its goal was to deprive Ukrainians of heat and electricity during the winter.

“In recent months, the United States has provided Ukraine with hundreds of air defense missiles, with even more on the way. I’ve directed the Department of Defense to significantly ramp up weapon deliveries to Ukraine,” Biden said.

▪️On Christmas morning, December 25, Russian forces launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure. Air raid sirens sounded across all oblasts.
