The latest news on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine includes reports of ongoing attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, which was hit by sustained bombardment. The European Parliament's president, Roberta Metsola, has condemned Russia's aggression and vowed to prevent indifference from creeping in.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has also spoken out against Russia's actions, saying that President Vladimir Putin aims to make winter unbearable for Ukraine and destroy morale. Pistorius announced that Berlin will provide at least €150m towards the next NATO's Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List to help fund US weapons for Ukraine.
Other European countries, including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden, have also announced plans to fund a separate €430m package for Ukraine. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said Italy would send 12th package of support for Kyiv and help Ukraine's energy supplies during the winter months.
Russia has denied involvement in the attacks on Ukrainian cities, but CEO of state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, confirmed that several units of the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant were disconnected from the grid overnight but operations were restored in the morning.

... honestly, can't Russia just leave Ukraine alone already? I mean, we all know Putin's been trying to make a point, but it's getting old 
. Those attacks on Kyiv are devastating, and for what? So he can say he "won" or whatever? Please 
. Meanwhile, our European friends are stepping up with the support they need – it's about time! €430m and €150m? That's some serious backing 
. I'm glad nations like Germany and Italy are taking a stand against Russia's aggression. They should be too 
️... and can we please get some more news updates on this conflict ASAP? It feels like nobody's getting the truth 
.
just wonderin why all these countries jump into Ukraine's arms after Putin's been talkin' loud on the world stage for ages... doesn't feel like it's outta thin air 
think Berlin's got some strings attached too, maybe? also curious about how NATO's gonna ensure their promised help reaches Kyiv safely with Russia's involvement 
germany and france are basically saying "we'll just send some cash and call it a day" but really what's the catch? are they trying to distract us from something else? or is this just a power play by nato? 
It just seems like a lot of noise to me.
. Anyway, can't believe Europe is finally coming together to help out our Eastern European friends. €430m is like, a lot of money, but I guess when you're about to lose your entire country to a nuclear winter, every little bit counts 
. Good thing those units are back online now, or we'd be looking at a nice big radiation-free zone... NOT 
.
and now it's getting all complicated with the funding packages 
€430m from europe is a lot of cash 
is anyone thinking about the people living in these cities? 
Putin just wants to make winter unbearable for ukraine, that's so cruel
