(Bloomberg) — President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukrainian troops had advanced “in all directions” across the frontline after visiting his government’s forces in the country’s east and south.

Biden reinforced his administration’s commitment to Ukraine’s defense “no matter what happened in Russia,” and the US was set to announce a new $500 million package of military hardware for Ukraine drawn from Pentagon inventories.
