The Senate decided it will not vote on a new funding package for Ukraine until 2024. Congress has stalled on the issue in part over Republican demands that any aid be tied to harsh new immigration restrictions.
New air attacks hit Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine overnight, though no casualties were reported. Meanwhile, the U.N. on Tuesday condemned Russian violations of international law and war crimes in occupied areas of Ukraine, including 142 documented cases of civilian executions. This is U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk.
Volker Türk: “On occupied territory, we have documented widespread torture and ill-treatment of detainees, including sexual violence, as well as large numbers of forced disappearances. In addition, there has been extensive failure by the Russian Federation to take adequate measures to protect civilians and protected civilian objects against the effects of their attacks.”
