In May 2023, Russian forces struck Kharkiv daily, including a deadly attack on a shopping center. Residents, like Viktoria Kitsenko, felt like targets despite being accustomed to air raid sirens.
About half of Kharkiv's population left after Russia's initial invasion, but ongoing bombings persisted, with an escalation in attacks earlier in the year.
Kharkiv's mayor reported 76 Russian attacks last month, with many casualties. The relentless assaults led to high death tolls and injuries, prompting international condemnation.
