In order to help build support for U.S. aid to Ukraine, the advocacy group Razom for Ukraine placed six billboards in Louisiana, including one in front of the church that House Speaker Mike Johnson attends in Shreveport. U.S. President Joe Biden speaks after signing the foreign aid bill at the White House in Washington, D.C., on April 24, 2024.
On Saturday, March 2, at 2:20 a.m., Serhii Gadarzhi woke up to a drone approaching his apartment building in Odesa, Ukraine. He heard an explosion just outside his windows and rushed to his 2-year-old daughter's bedroom. She was there. He grabbed the child, wrapped her in a blanket and went to check on his wife and their 4-month-old son.
