Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba shared photos of the aftermath of the morning Russian missile attack on Kyiv and called on the US Congress to finally agree to allocate funds to help Ukraine.

Dmytro Kuleba published on Twitter (X) photos of damage caused by falling wreckage of downed missiles, noting that in total, more than 30 aerial targets were shot down, and more than a dozen people were injured.   

"I urge the US Congress to unblock aid to Ukraine to save lives, protect freedom, and defeat Russian terror," Dmytro Kuleba said.  

"Закликаю Конгрес США розблокувати допомогу Україні, щоб рятувати життя, захищати свободу і завдати поразки російському терору", – заявив він. 

On the eve of 20 March, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser, during a visit to Kyiv, said that he believes that the United States will still ensure the approval of assistance to Ukraine. 

Earlier, Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, also made such an appeal to speaker Mike Johnson after two consecutive missile attacks on Odesa, which led to the death of more than 20 people, including rescue workers attending to the scene of a previous missile strike.
