“Russia is waging war in violation of international humanitarian law, kills civilians, destroys civilian infrastructure. Russiaʼs main target is large cities that are now fired at by its missiles”, an official said.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba shared a similar video on Twitter showing an enormous explosion in the eastern city of Kharkiv’s Freedom Square.

While calling the world to “isolate Russia fully”, the Minister wrote: “Barbaric Russian missile strikes on the central Freedom Square and residential districts of Kharkiv. Putin is unable to break Ukraine down. He commits more war crimes out of fury, murders innocent civilians.”
