Russia attacked Ukrainian cities on Christmas, causing power outages; Biden pledges more aid.

On Christmas Day, Russia launched missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure, causing power outages and leaving hundreds of thousands without heat. The attacks injured at least six people and killed one. US President Joe Biden strongly condemned the strikes, calling them "outrageous" and aimed at depriving Ukrainians of essential services during winter. Biden pledged to increase military aid to Ukraine, directing the US Defense Department to continue supplying weapons. The US has already provided $175 billion in aid to Ukraine since the start of the conflict.
