Russian forces launched 15 rocket attacks on Kharkiv today, resulting in at least seven dead and 16 injured, as reported by Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, and Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

Kharkiv, situated close to the Russian border, is predominantly Russian-speaking, with 75% of its population speaking Russian, surpassing even Crimea and Donbas. Despite this, the city's residents and the Ukrainian Armed Forces have resisted Russian advances since the war began, leading to daily bombardments by Russian forces.

While politicians are busy debating whether or not to help Ukraine, today russia attacked Kharkiv.

Again.

Five people were killed (3 women, 2 men) and 11 were injured when the printing house that served one of the largest publishers in Ukraine was destroyed.

Syniehubov stated that the attacks targeted civilian infrastructure. Additionally, the city of Zolochiv was struck, injuring at least two people, while Ukrainian medics attended to two more wounded from shelling in Liubotyn. Mayor Terekhov noted that the strikes hit transport infrastructure and a division of the utility company responsible for the city's maintenance. Another strike targeted a private enterprise.

Terekhov later updated that preliminary information indicated one dead, six injured, and three missing due to a large fire. He subsequently reported finding another body at the missile strike site. Syniehubov specified that the targeted enterprise was an ordinary printing house, now on fire.

Kharkiv.

The sound you hear from inside the black bag is an incoming call that will never be answered because additional Patriots were not delivered to Ukraine on time.

Deliver them now. I urge everyone who can influence leaders of their countries to make their calls today. pic.twitter.com/mj1J8HqgCW
