Russian paratroopers landed in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Wednesday, where they have been engaged in heavy fighting by defenders, the Ukrainian Army said.
“Russian airborne troops landed in Kharkiv … and attacked a local hospital,” the army said on messaging app Telegram. “There is a continuing fight between the invaders and the Ukrainians.”
Russian forces escalated their attacks on crowded urban areas on Tuesday, in what Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a blatant campaign of terror.
US President Joe Biden vowed to make Russia's President Vladimir Putin “pay a price” for the invasion.
“Nobody will forgive. Nobody will forget,” Mr Zelenskyy said, after Tuesday's rocket and missile attack on Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, and the deadly bombing of a TV tower in the capital Kiev.
At least 10 people were killed and 35 wounded in Tuesday's strikes at the centre of Kharkiv, Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said.
