KYIV: At least three people were killed in a Russian bomb attack on Ukraine’s following city, Kharkiv, on Saturday evening, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Hours later, a missile and drone storm directed at Ukraine’s now hampered energy system was launched by Kremlin forces into a private area of Kharkiv. Russian airstrikes struck energy grid products in the far-western Lviv and the southeast of Zaporizhzhia regions.
Zelensky said Russia had deployed more than 2, 400 guided weapons on Ukraine in June, with approximately 700 used on Kharkiv. He demanded that Western allies immediately give the military help packages that had been promised.
