Russian troops started heavy shelling in Kharkiv residential areas

Russian troops started heavy shelling in Kharkiv residential areas. 

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian government said that the center of the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, has been badly hit by more Russian shelling. 

Oleh Sinehubov, the head of the Kharkiv regional administration, said that the administration building in the center of Kharkiv was hit by a lot of Russian shelling and other residential buildings in the city center.

Sinehubov didn’t say how many people were killed in the most recent shelling. Sinehubov had been told that at least 11 people were killed, and many people were hurt in the shelling in Kharkiv on Monday.

He said that Ukrainian troops are protecting the city of 1.4 million people. Videos posted on Ukrainian social networks and media show a massive explosion next to the tall Soviet-era administrative building on Kharkiv’s main square. 

It hit several cars parked in front of the building, shattering the windows but leaving primarily intact.

So, Sinehubov said that Russia tried to attack Kharkiv with GRAD and cruise missiles. 

But that the city’s defense was strong. A Ukrainian man said: “Such attacks are genocide against the Ukrainian people, a war crime against civilians!”

Synegubov was wearing a flak jacket and a helmet when he said in a video that it was too early to know how many people were killed.

People were killed, and buildings were damaged by constant shelling in Mariupol as Russia began its sixth invasion day. The mayor of Mariupol also said the city was under constant bombardment.

“We’ve had our homes shelled for five days now. We get hit with artillery and GRAD shells and shot by air forces. “It was on Ukrainian TV. Vadym Boichenko said this in a live show.

“People’s homes and schools have been damaged. So many people have been hurt. Women and children are killed,” he said that.

Ukraine’s biggest steelmaker, Metinvest BV, has stopped making steel in Mariupol, where most of its plants are. 

Most of the workers were sent home, but shorter shifts made sure that the production of the equipment didn’t stop.

Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a “special operation” that it says isn’t meant to take over land but to destroy its southern neighbor’s military power and capture people it thinks are dangerous nationalists.
