Analysis

Russian occupiers continue to commit violence and harm the civilian population. The missile strike on Kharkiv resulted in fatalities and numerous injuries, including a minor. Several apartment buildings sustained damage, and the situation concerning people who may be trapped under the rubble remains uncertain. This is yet another horrific example of Russia's aggression and the unfounded violence it creates. The international community must condemn these events and support Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression.
