Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov clarified that the shelling damaged high-rise buildings, a shopping center, a private house, garages, and cars.
By striking a military hospital building, Russia once again violated the norms of international humanitarian law. War crimes have no statute of limitations — Ukraine will transfer evidence to international criminal justice bodies.
