Ukraine seeks US support, strikes Russian-held territory

Senior Ukrainian officials visited Washington on Tuesday seeking U.S. support as Kyiv launched coordinated attacks on Russian-held territory, including a key bridge. This action underscores Ukraine's resolve amid ongoing conflict. The attacks included an underwater explosion targeting a bridge linking Russia and Crimea, a symbol of Russian control. Simultaneously, Ukrainian officials aimed to secure more aid and discuss sanctions against Russia during their visit. These actions follow stalled peace talks and come after Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure, including energy facilities. The conflict continues with both sides accusing the other of obstructing peace efforts.
