Meanwhile, Russia faced new Western sanctions, including a $2 billion military aid package to Ukraine and additional sanctions on Russian mining and metals industries. Despite the support, Biden ruled out sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
The conflict shows no signs of slowing down, with Ukraine's military reporting that Russia has doubled the number of ships on active duty in the Black Sea and predicting more missile strikes. In Russia, a human rights group reported dozens of people being detained by police for commemorating victims of the invasion.
Despite strong support for Ukraine in the West, major developing nations like China and India have not imposed sanctions on Moscow. China called for a ceasefire, while India made no mention of the conflict during a G20 meeting. The conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives and left Ukraine with occupied territory still under Russian control.
