AP News, I'm Ben Thomas, from Biden's publicly apologized to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for the month's long hold-up in American military aid. Sakur Mikani heads to tales. The delay in getting an aid package through Congress led to Russia making battlefield gains as they met in Paris. I apologize for the weeks of knowing what's going to happen and starting to fund even. The president assured Vladimir Zelensky more aid will flow, and the U.S. will stand with Ukraine. We're still in. Completely. Dearly. As Ukraine tries to fight off an intense Russian push in the east, Zelensky says American backing is vital. It was during World War II, how United States helped to save human lives, to save Europe, and we can't, when you're continuing support. Sagar Mikani Washington.

But at an international economic forum in St. Petersburg, he again warned Moscow could send arms to countries or groups to strike Western targets. In an upcoming report to the Security Council, the U.N. Secretary-General plans to list both Israel and Hamas as waging war that violates the rights and protection of children. Time and AP analysis of Gaza Health Ministry data has found the proportion of Palestinian women and children being killed in the Israel-Hamas War appears to have declined sharply. Joe Fetterman reports from Jerusalem. In April, the most recent month of data, the number fell below 40 percent. Our analysis found that the drop mirrored a shift in Israel's battlefield techniques. At the beginning of the war, Israel relied heavily on airstrikes. But in recent months, it has changed its tactics. It relies much more on limited-ground operations and smaller and more precise drone strikes. This is AP News. The Labor Department reports America's employers added a strong 272,000 jobs in May.
