Discover the impact of massive Russian airstrikes on Ukraine and the wavering U.S. support for Kyiv. Dive into the details of the ongoing conflict and diplomatic meetings in Kyiv.

Ukraine is facing a dire situation as massive Russian airstrikes hit the country, depleting its air defense capabilities. While the U.S. Congress debates its support for Kyiv, France's Foreign Minister, Stéphane Séjourné, visits Ukraine to show solidarity with President Zelenskiy. The attacks continue, with Ukraine being targeted by a barrage of missiles and drones, straining the nation's resources.

Amidst the chaos, a surprising trend emerges in Ukraine's consumer economy - sushi restaurants are thriving, providing jobs and a sense of normalcy in the war-torn country. Despite the economic challenges caused by Russia's invasion, the popularity of sushi remains strong in Ukraine, showcasing resilience in the face of adversity.

French Foreign Minister Sejourne reaffirms support for Ukraine during his visit to Kyiv, pledging assistance in defense manufacturing. Meanwhile, Western envoys gather to review peace formulas to end the conflict, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in promoting peace and stability.

In a poignant moment, Ukraine marks the anniversary of a devastating missile strike that claimed the lives of 46 civilians, highlighting the human cost of the war. As the world watches the developments in Ukraine with bated breath, the need for unity and peace becomes more urgent than ever.
