G7 nations vow to support Ukraine
The group, which met for emergency virtual talks, said it would keep on giving military and humanitarian aid.
After numerous attacks, as Russian missiles were fired towards civilian targets and infrastructure in Ukraine, leading nations have rallied to Ukraine's defence.
Leaders of the G7 group of rich nations vowed to support Ukraine, "for as long as it takes".
The group, which met for emergency virtual talks, said it would keep on giving military and humanitarian aid.
Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze is a Ukrainian MP, and chair of the committee on European Union Integration for Ukraine.
She told Newsday: "We need air defence and anti-rocket defence, in order to be able to protect our lands, and our civilians and our infrastructure from these attacks, definitely humanitarian aid and financial aid. And additional pressure in terms of sanctions on the Russian economy, that's exactly what is needed."
