KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Authorities say Russia has fired cruise and ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones at targets across Ukraine. Officials said the Wednesday morning attack killed at least two civilians and injured 10 others. The attacks targeted at least three major cities, including the capital Kyiv. The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, was in Kyiv discussing military aid and financial support for Ukraine. Western help is desperately needed by Ukraine, which is struggling with ammunition and personnel shortages. Some long-term foreign funding is also in doubt as the war nears its two-year anniversary on Feb. 24.
