Foreign Ministry said on Twitter, "Russia is waging a war that is illegal under international humanitarian law. Civilians are killed, and civilian infrastructure is destroyed. Russia's major goal is large cities, which are presently being attacked by missiles."
Russia attacked the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv as part of its ongoing assault on Tuesday. Many people, including children, have been killed, according to Mayor Igor Terekhov, who also stated that Russian armoured vehicles and tanks were "everywhere" in the city. Images released online by Ukraine's Foreign Ministry show how Russian fire impacts Kharkiv.
Foreign Ministry said on Twitter, "Russia is waging a war that is illegal under international humanitarian law. Civilians are killed, and civilian infrastructure is destroyed. Russia's major goal is large cities, which are presently being attacked by missiles." They revealed that the site was the Kharkiv Administration Building. The brief video, which appears to have been captured from a computer screen, depicts a missile dropping on the otherwise perfect structure and turning it to rubble in seconds.
Russia is waging war in violation of international humanitarian law. Kills civilians, destroys civilian infrastructure. Russiaʼs main target is large cities that now fired at by its missiles.

— Emine Dzheppar (@EmineDzheppar)Russia describes its efforts in Ukraine as a "special operation" to destroy its southern neighbour's military capability and apprehend dangerous nationalists. Ukrainian officials claim that Kyiv and Kharkiv are bombarded for the first time since 1941.
Even though Ukraine and Russia began negotiations on Monday, there has been no progress. Even as Russia continued to strike residential areas and enormous convoys marched towards Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a worldwide embargo on Russian planes and ships. Following the meetings, he also formally sought membership in the European Union.
