Mykhailo Podolyak, the adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, says the only possible strategy for exiting the war is the withdrawal of Russian troops from the sovereign territory of Ukraine.
Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak thanked the U.S. House of Representatives for approving a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine and expressed hope that the Senate would approve the bill as soon as possible.
Mark Warner, chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, said that the United States could send aid to Ukraine, including long-range ATACMS missiles, next week.
There were 65 combat engagements at the frontline over the day, with the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelling most attacks in the Bakhmut and Novopavlivka directions.
Russian invaders shelled the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region with artillery and drones eight times during the day. A 47-year-old woman was injured.
In the operational area of the Southern Defense Forces, Ukrainian defenders repelled four attacks by Russian invaders in the Orikhiv sectors and three attacks on the left bank of the Dnipro River.
