Here is the latest from Ukraine.
- The United States will roll out $215 million in new emergency food assistance, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday during a U.N. meeting that discussed global hunger and how the war in Ukraine has exacerbated the crisis. The United States has already announced $2.3 billion to meet global humanitarian needs caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he said.
- The Senate on Wednesday night unanimously confirmed career diplomat Bridget A. Brink as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The confirmation makes Brink the first full-fledged ambassador to Ukraine since May 2019, when President Donald Trump recalled Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
- Ukrainian authorities have brought war crimes charges against two more Russian troops, the general prosecutor’s office said, and their trial is set to begin Thursday, one day after a 21-year-old Russian soldier pleaded guilty in a Kyiv court in the war’s first such proceeding.
