Ukraine Marks 2nd Anniversary of War with Russia, Which Has Killed 31,000+ Ukrainian Soldiers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prime ministers of Italy, Canada and Belgium traveled to Kyiv on
Saturday as Ukraine marked the second anniversary of Russia's invasion.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged 31,000 Ukrainian
troops have been killed over the past two years, but many experts
believe that to be an undercount. The anniversary comes as Zelensky and
other Ukrainian officials urged U.S. lawmakers to approve the $60
billion aid package requested by President Biden.
