‘Kharkiv is their priority’: Deadly Russian attacks hit Ukraine’s northeast
Al JazeeraUkrainians mourn, rebuild, and rebrand a street named after Pushkin as Russian forces intensify their bombing campaign. Ukrainian officials have not yet specified what missile type hit Building 7, but a military expert said Russia “most likely” used an S-300 missile. “They’re not precise, this is moral and psychological pressure to destroy the city further,” Lieutenant-General Ihor Romanenko, former deputy chief of Ukraine’s General Staff of the Armed Forces, told Al Jazeera. “Kharkiv is their priority, because Putin can’t forgive the fact that a Russian-speaking city didn’t want to become part of the Russian world,” he said. “Dear God took him away so that he wouldn’t see this shame and horror,” Ivakhno said while pouring porridge into a paper cup and handing it to a rescue worker in central Kharkiv.
