President Joe Biden assured his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy of quick military support in the fight against Russia's invasion during a Monday call.

The US House of Representatives approved a substantial foreign aid package last week, including $61 billion for war-torn Ukraine, with the Senate expected to follow suit.

Biden emphasized America's 'lasting commitment' to Ukraine 'as it defends its freedom against Russian aggression'.

Zelenskyy reported that Biden assured him he would sign the upcoming military aid package immediately upon Senate approval, and the weaponry provided would strengthen Ukraine's air defense as well as long-range and artillery capabilities.

Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial

A prosecutor alleged that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.

The defense argued that Trump was 'innocent' and attacked the integrity of the former Trump confidant who is now the government's star witness.

The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.

Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

Quick Glance: Russian Attack Causes Destruction of TV Tower in Kharkiv

A television tower in Kharkiv was ripped in two by a Russian missile strike on Monday, described by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a deliberate attempt by Moscow to make the second largest city in Ukraine uninhabitable.

Impressive footage showed the main mast of the tower breaking off and collapsing in the city, which has been under missile and drone attacks for weeks.

Zelenskyy briefed US President Joe Biden about the airstrike that occurred shortly before their conversation.

The Service for State Special Communications reported partial damage to the tower's structure, resulting in a temporary loss of television signal. Efforts are underway to restore it, with residents advised to use cable, online TV, or radio if they lack a digital TV signal.

American military aid brings relief to Ukraine, but doesn't guarantee a turnaround in the defense war.

Trump's approval remains uncertain, and political support in Washington is volatile.

Russia's structural superiority and US political volatility call for increased support for Ukraine.
