MILAN - Italian Premier Mario Draghi meets with U.S. In Washington, President Joe Biden signed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act, which resurrects a World War II-era program and is aimed at quickly getting military support to Ukraine.īiden also asked congressional leaders to separate Ukraine aid from Covid-19 relief to avoid partisan opposition.
Meanwhile, at least 60 people were feared dead after an airstrike on a school where people were sheltering in an eastern Ukraine village. In Mariupol, a key port city, the final civilians were evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant where the city's last Ukrainian defenders have held out under fire and siege, frustrating Moscow's efforts to secure what would be a crucial strategic and symbolic victory.

Putin linked his war in Ukraine with that historic struggle in a speech that blamed the West for the conflict but included no new escalations. Russian President Vladimir Putin marked Victory Day on Monday, celebrating the Soviet Union’s World War II triumph over Nazi Germany with a grand display of military might and an address from Moscow’s Red Square.
