At least six people have been killed in Russian attacks in Ukraine in a Tuesday drone strike that set ablaze industrial warehouses and destroyed humanitarian aid supplies in the western city of Lviv.
It was gathered that three were killed in an attack on the northeastern town of Kupiansk, and two people, including a policeman, were killed in the shelling of the southern city of Kherson.
Lviv mayor, Andriy Sadovyi said the body of a man who worked at one of the warehouses had been found under the rubble, and that the warehouses stored windows, household chemicals and humanitarian aid.
Meanwhile, United States President Joe Biden has appealed to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly to stand with Ukraine against Russian invaders.
Biden added that Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence, but stated that United States and its allies would stand with Ukraine’s fight for freedom.
Biden’s address at the annual gathering was the centerpiece event of his three-day visit to New York, which will include meetings with the heads of five Central Asian nations, and the leaders of Israel and Brazil.
Biden, a Democrat, has made rallying U.S. allies to support Ukraine a leading component of U.S. foreign policy, arguing the world must send a clear signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will not be able to outlast the West.
