Kharkiv mayor: Russia is "intentionally trying to eliminate Ukrainian people"

[Uncle Joe]

The mayor of Kharkiv, the northeastern city under siege by Russian forces, told CNN on Friday the Russian military is "intentionally trying to eliminate Ukrainian people" as it targets civilian spaces.

“The situation is extremely difficult," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. "To date, Kharkiv has been hard impacted by continuous bombardment. Planes are flying constantly, (rockets) are being launched, grenades are launched, and residential houses are being hit."

There are no Ukrainian troops stationed in the residential blocks, according to Terekhov. “That means that they are purposefully hitting the residential buildings,” he said.
