A Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv killed a child in a playground and left others dead in a residential building, Ukrainian authorities said, as Moscow attempts to retaliate against Kyiv’s advance into Russian territory.
At least five people were killed and 28 wounded in the attack on the northeastern city, according to authorities. “The occupiers killed a child right on the playground. A girl,” Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said, adding that others died in a burning high-rise building in the city’s industrial district. A gliding bomb also struck the city center, Terekhov said. The strikes came after a week that saw Russia pummel Ukraine with aerial assaults.
Syrskyi relayed the information during a staff meeting, in which Zelensky added that the replenishment of the “exchange fund” of forces was “extremely important for strengthening our positions.” The Ukrainian offensive and the Russian aerial response have distracted attention from the ground campaign in eastern Ukraine, but Syrskyi said fighting “of varying intensity” was continuing along the entire front line. “The most difficult situation remains in the Pokrovsk sector.
