"Since nightfall, [rescue crews] have been dismantling the rubble of a residential building in Kharkiv after a Russian ballistic missile strike. The entrance was destroyed, the upper floors of a neighboring building were damaged...There may still be people under the rubble. All necessary services are working on the spot for rescue."
"There should be a response from partners to these savage strikes against life. Russia has not abandoned its attempts to destroy Ukraine's residential and critical infrastructure, and therefore support should continue."
"Russia denies it targets civilian areas, despite widespread evidence of such attacks. The Defense Ministry in Moscow said its forces carried out massive overnight strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial complexes, military airfields, and energy sites."
