Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is pressing the United States for more Patriot air defense missiles to counter Russian attacks. He sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump and Congress earlier this week but hasn't received a reply. Zelenskyy is eager to secure foreign weaponry as Ukraine battles Russia's full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy said Thursday during a visit to Sweden that Ukraine has plans to buy 20 Gripen fighter jets and receive 16 older models as a donation. Ukrainian drones are also playing a crucial role in limiting Russian advances by targeting supply routes and front-line positions.
At least 10 people including the gunman have been killed at an adult education center in what Sweden's prime minister called the country's "worst mass shooting." But a final death toll, a conclusive number of wounded and a motive hadn't yet been determined hours later. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson gave a news conference in Stockholm in the aftermath of Tuesday's tragedy on the outskirts of Orebro. The city is located about 200 kilometers or 125 miles west of Stockholm. The school serves students over age 20. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.
