Ukraine’s government on Tuesday said it aims to take back all of its territories after pushing back Russian forces in the northeastern portion of the country in a rapid offensive.

In a video address late on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the West and United States to again provide weapons systems. The United States, in particular, has already given over $13.5 billion in military aid to the country since Feb. 24.
