The attack carried out on Sunday hit many facilities, including a hospital, a post office, bus station and residential buildings
Months of intense shelling has seriously damaged many residential buildings in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Without waiting for government assistance to arrive, residents of one building in the Saltivka district have mobilised to carry out the repair work themselves.
At least five people were killed on Tuesday as Russian shelling hit the centre of Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv, the mayor said.
Residents in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv volunteer to help municipal services clean up rubbles and debris from the Russian shelling near the city's administration buildings. Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov said residents are "madly in love with their city" and need no additional motivation to help rebuild the city.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that Russian shelling on his country's second most populated city is a war crime. Russian forces have struck cities in eastern Ukraine and massed armoured vehicles and artillery near the capital Kyiv, as Western powers promise further sanctions to bring down Russia's economy. On the sixth day of Russia's invasion, officials in Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv, say the Russian army had shelled the local administration building.
