Find out the latest updates on Ukraine's missile attacks and the EU's efforts to support the country in this engaging article!

The situation in Ukraine remains tense as Russian missile attacks target Kyiv, injuring 17 people. The EU is exploring ways to bypass treaty bans to provide arms support to Ukraine, showing solidarity in the face of escalating conflict. With the war entering its 757th day, key events unfold daily, including a recent massive strike in Kyiv. Thousands seek shelter as the crisis deepens, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention.

As EU leaders debate tapping into frozen Russian assets to arm Ukraine, the region faces a critical juncture. Amidst Putin's growing shadow, consensus within the EU on weapon support for Ukraine remains elusive. The lack of agreement poses challenges as the conflict intensifies, underscoring the complexities of the geopolitical landscape.

In a significant move, Ukraine could soon receive €1bn from frozen Russian assets, providing crucial financial support. Meanwhile, the EU considers redirecting $3 billion annually to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities, signaling a coordinated effort to counter Russian aggression. These developments underscore the global community's response to the ongoing crisis, emphasizing the need for swift and decisive action.
