Kharkiv surrounded by Russian troops; Zelenskyy calls out Russian “state terrorism“ | USA TODAY

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy demanded justice as Russia carries out “state terrorism“ in bombing of Kharkiv. RELATED: Zelenskyy appeals to European Union for ’immediate’ membership Residential areas in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, were being pounded by Russian shells while a massive 40-mile convoy of Russian tanks and vehicles rolled toward the capital of Kyiv on Tuesday as the war entered its sixth day. At least 11 people were killed and 35 wounded in the rocket strikes on Kharkiv, Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said. He said the rubble was still being cleared and the death toll was expected to rise. Closed-circuit television footage showed a fireball engulfing a street in front of one building, and a few cars rolled out of the billowing smoke. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack on the city’s main square “frank, undisguised terror. Nobody will forgive. Nobody will forget. This attack on Kharkiv is a war crime.” » Subscribe to USA T
