Kharkiv is a city of 1.4 million people, with a large Russian-speaking population, which is very close to the Russian border.

The city has been under constant siege since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion against Ukraine last Thursday.

Although the first round of negotiations between the two nations took place yesterday to establish a ceasefire, a process that will continue in the coming days, Zelensky denounced last night that the attacks did not stop even during the peace talks.

In fact, Vladimir Putin will continue his offensive in the country until he achieves his objectives, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced, almost a week after the Russian invasion.

“The Russian armed forces will continue the special military operation until the set goals are met,” Shoigu told a news conference broadcast on state television. Russia seeks the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine, as well as protecting Russia from the “military threat created by Western countries,” the minister said.
