Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskky, in his nightly video address Wednesday, said that of all the battles in his country, “the most brutal confrontation” is raging in the Donbas.
North of Donetsk, Russian forces hit Kharkiv with missile strikes on Wednesday. Kharkiv’s regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said that one person was killed and three, including a toddler, were injured. First responders crunched through the debris of a Kharkiv university, where Mr Zelensky said the main building, lecture halls, museum and library were destroyed.
“When it comes to the definition of barbarism, this strike fits the bill the most,” the Ukrainian president said.
“Only an enemy of civilisation and humanity can do such things – strike missiles at a university, a university for teachers.”
