Russian invaders bomb 600 houses, 50 schools in Kharkiv

"About 600 houses have been destroyed in Kharkiv due to constant shelling of the city by the Russian army... These houses cannot be restored, so people actually lost their homes. Moreover, 50 schools, a number of healthcare institutions, including maternity hospitals have been bombed in Kharkiv," Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov told Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot via videoconferencing, the press service of the Kharkiv City Council posted on Telegram.

According to Lightfoot, the main task now is to save people's lives and end the war, and the U.S. position is very important in this matter. Terekhov underscored the need to close the sky over Ukraine and stop the bloodshed.

On February 24, Russian president Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion. Russian troops shell and destroy infrastructure, conduct massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and towns using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced. Ukraine repels Russian invaders.
