President Joe Biden reaffirmed U.S. support for Ukraine following Russia’s massive drone attack against the country, which left more than a million Ukrainian households without electricity.

Russia launched 188 drones in the Nov. 27 attack that targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with 76 of them being intercepted by Ukraine’s air defenses, according to Ukraine’s air force.
