Ukraine Attacks Russian Soil Using U.S.-Made Weapons
----------------------------------------------------

Ukraine has reportedly attacked Russian soil for the first time using a
U.S.-made artillery system. This comes just days after the Biden
administration gave Ukraine the green light to carry out such attacks
despite warnings from Russia.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is criticizing Biden
for deciding not to attend an upcoming peace summit in Switzerland. Vice
President Kamala Harris will attend instead. Biden, however, is expected
to meet with Zelensky this week in Normandy, France, and again at the G7
summit in Italy.
