What happened today in Russia-Ukraine War
The United States on Wednesday announced a new round of sanctions targeting Russian financial institutions, as well as Kremlin officials and their family members, following mounting global accusations of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, Reuters reported. The measures include banning new investment in Russia, sanctioning Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adult children and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s family members. A senior administration official told reporters that if Putin were to change course in Ukraine, sanctions could slow and possibly reverse.
The governor of Ukraine’s Donetsk region said at least two civilians were killed and five wounded on Wednesday when Russian artillery fire struck a humanitarian aid distribution point in the town of nuclear. In an online post, shared photos of the alleged attack which showed two women stretched out on the ground, another person with a serious wound to the leg and another person with a bloodied leg being helped into a rescue vehicle.

Meanwhile, Pope Francis on Wednesday condemned “the massacre of Bucha” and kissed a Ukrainian flag sent from the town, where tied bodies shot at close range littered the streets after Russian troops withdrew and bodies poked out of a mass grave at a church. “Recent news from the war in Ukraine, instead of bringing relief and hope, brought new atrocities, such as the massacre of Bucha,” Francis said at the end of his weekly audience in the Vatican’s auditorium. “Stop this war! Let the weapons fall silent! Stop sowing death and destruction,” he said.
