Tensions escalated between Russia and the rest of the world this week as Ukraine continued to receive aid while Russian President Vladimir Putin weaponized natural gas supplies amid claims that Russian troops were trying to to "starve out" Ukrainians. Russian missiles struck Ukraine's capital of Kyiv Thursday evening, barely an hour after a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. Several people were injured and at least one person was killed in the attack. There were also attempts to hit back at Russia through attacks on the Transnistria region of Moldova, which sits at Ukraine's border. In the U.S., President Joe Biden also asked Congress to approve additional aid to Ukraine and Sweden and Finland made plans to join NATO.
