Germany announced a new aid package for Ukraine worth $540 million, including artillery shells and armored vehicles. Anti-Kremlin militias claimed ongoing fighting in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, capturing Russian soldiers. Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian oil refineries have caused a loss of 600,000 barrels of daily capacity. Ukraine aims to have enough ammunition by April, with allies supporting a Czech-led initiative to supply artillery. The EU proposed using 90% of frozen Russian assets’ profits to buy weapons for Ukraine.
