At least 500 people have been killed in the city of Kharkiv since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the regional emergency service has said.

Ukraine’s second-largest city, located in the country’s northeast, has been subjected to relentless bombardment by Russian forces for weeks. Mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a televised interview on Tuesday that more than 600 buildings have been destroyed since the start of Russia’s invasion.

“Schools, nurseries, hospitals, clinics have been destroyed. The Russian army is constantly shelling [us] from the ground and the air,” he said.

Ukraine’s armed forces said Russian troops had not yet succeeded in surrounding the major city, agreeing with Western analysts that they are short of supplies and ammunition

Russian forces will likely struggle to bypass the city while resistance continues, the Institute for the Study of War think-tank has said.

This is really sad.
In my own opinion the war isn't necessary
It will take years for Ukraine to recover from these losses.
And as for Russia una yansh don finally open you guys are overrated
Upon all the military hardware and plenty of troop una still collect from Ukraine

Western Propaganda. Ukraine is winning the war joor. 12000 Russian Forces have been killed.

Damn

After the war Ukraine will be rebuilt and it will come out more beautiful than it was... Ukraine no be naija!

So Poo tin still continue bombardment even when the Ukrainian president say they are not joining NATO again?Poo tin is really a shit.

This is what the demon Joe Biden wants , another Yemen , another Aghanistan

And still the Russian army cannot occupy this city after almost a whole month ? So they just bomb and bomb and bomb but the soldiers are too scared to move in because they know they face complete annihilation by the Ukrainian army.


The Russian army is overrated.

What a pity...

next time post more pictures...poor reporting

Too bad

Looks the Ukrainians want Russia to finish them off before they'll eventually get a sense. The same EU that's pushing/backing them with weapons and finance to execute the war is invariably helping the Ukrainians to destroy their country. Negotiations and renegotiation is only the way forward to end this war.

Nawao

What a mess










Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind

This is the result you get when u have a coward comedian as President.
By the time Putin is done with these clowns their eyes go open.

Exactly. And Russia will definitely pay for the rebuild from their frozen foreign reserve.

Can't this Ukrainian find a way to send missile to Russia as well

Seen

Hmmm, hope it won't be like Syria

This might to a good time for divine powers to intervene.

If there is a divine authority out there, watching innocent people lose their lives and properties because of the decisions and indecisions of some certain people. Then they should intervene.

Else, it'd save to assume we are all alone by ourselves down here.

It is well.

God will definitely punish mad man putin and his murderous bandits that support him online and offline
