RUSSIAN shelling and air strikes have hit multiple targets across Ukraine and five people have reportedly been killed in shelling of the city of Kharkiv, officials say.
Another 13 people have been injured in Kharkiv as Putin’s air strikes cause more terror and destruction.
Ukrainian authorities condemned Russian artillery attacks on cities in the northeast and the continuing siege of the southern port city of Mariupol.
Moscow said it had taken almost full control, following almost two months of bloody fighting.
After failing to overcome Ukrainian resistance in the north, the Russian military has refocused its ground offensive on Donbas, while launching long-distance strikes at targets elsewhere, including the capital, Kyiv.
In Mykolaiv, near the port of Odesa, the governor has claimed that there have been continuous rocket attacks.
The news comes as Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has warned ‘we must prepare’ for a Russian nuclear attack, and has urged the world to stock up on anti-radiation medicine and build air raid shelters.
Russia is willing to use nuclear weapons to bring a catastrophic end to its invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky warned.
