Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Ukraine is ready for anything and that it will win. He's asking citizens not to panic and has introduced martial law across the country.

US Ansarullah sanctions
The United States imposes sanctions on a number of entities and individuals, accusing them of providing tens of millions of dollars to Yemen’s Ansarullah movement. The action freezes any assets of the designated individuals that are subject to U-S jurisdiction and bars Americans from doing business with them. Those targeted include a UAE and Sweden-based commodities trader and his company as well as money exchange houses in Turkey and Yemen. They are accused of shipping fuel and other petroleum products and commodities throughout the Middle East, Africa and Asia with the proceeds financing Ansarullah. This comes as the movement, along with the Yemeni army, has been defending the country against Saudi Arabia’s years-long aggression. The war, which started in 2015, has so far killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, mostly civilians. The United Nations says the country is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
