Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian army will hold out in a war with the Russian aggressor, but Ukraine will lose fewer people if it gets the necessary weapons.

The United States, along with its allies and partners, is working to implement an alternative scheme for exporting grain from Ukraine by rail, which involves building temporary grain silos on Ukraine's borders.
Ukraine is fighting off the aggressor on its own territory, which is the largest in Europe. Therefore, Ukraine needs appropriate weapons to repel the invaders and has no interest in striking civilian targets in Russia.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has recorded 9,931 civilian casualties in Ukraine since the Russian invasion started, including 4,432 killed and 5,499 injured.
