The Kremlin described the attacks as “revenge strikes” to punish Kyiv for the incursions. The defence ministry said in a statement its forces had successfully struck a number of power grid objects, railway nodes, military factories, ammunition depots and concentrations of Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries. “As a result of the strike, the work of industrial enterprises producing and repairing weapons, military equipment, and ammunition was disrupted,” the statement said. “In addition, foreign military equipment and lethal weaponry delivered to Ukraine from NATO countries was destroyed, the transfer of enemy reserves to the front line was disrupted, and Ukrainian army units and mercenaries were hit.” In [URL='https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/19/russia-says-it-will-evacuate-children-from-belgorod-after-ukraine-shelling']Belgorod[/URL], a Russian region along the border with Ukraine, one woman was killed and several were wounded in a Ukrainian attack on Friday, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.

After the assault on Kyiv, [URL='https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/12/7/volodymyr-zelenskyy-the-forgotten-man']Zelenskyy[/URL] called on the West to deliver air defence systems. Addressing the 27 leaders of the [URL='https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/european-union/']European Union[/URL] via videolink as they met in Brussels for a two-day summit, he told them the shortfall in ammunition facing his troops was “humiliating” for Europe. “Europe can provide more – and it is crucial to prove it now,” he said. EU leaders on Thursday agreed to push ahead with a plan to use the profits from frozen Russian Central Bank assets to arm outgunned Ukraine, days after Putin tightened his grip over his country by winning a new six-year term in the presidential election. The proposal, at the heart of talks between bloc leaders, could unlock about 3 billion euros ($3.3bn) a year for Ukraine. “I’m glad that leaders endorsed our proposal to use the extraordinary revenues from immobilized Russian assets. This will provide funding for military equipment to Ukraine,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told reporters. The push by the EU to find more funds for Ukraine comes as a $60bn support package from the United States, Ukraine’s other main backer, remains blocked in Congress. [/QUOTE]
