00:06invasion of the country. European leaders joined President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev on Monday
00:12in a show of solidarity. In his first major international speech, Prime Minister Andy
00:19Burnham compared Ukraine's resistance against Russia with Britain's fight against Nazi Germany
00:25in World War II. The EU Commission approved 6.1 billion euro in new defense procurement for
00:33Ukraine. The funds will go toward air and missile defense systems, missiles, ammunition and radars.
00:41Ukraine continues to inflict significant damage on targets inside Russia through long-range drone
00:47strikes, which are particularly damaging for the oil industry that fuels Putin's war. Ukrainian
00:55strikes have caused billions of dollars of losses at warehouses owned by Wildberries,
01:00Russia's answer to Amazon. The Kremlin is grappling with serious economic problems thanks to the
01:07strikes and years of Western sanctions. With a widening budget deficit, Russian officials have
