news of the day
The fighting did not decrease in intensity this Wednesday in Ukraine with the start of the battle for control of Kharkiv, the second largest city in the country.
During the night, Russian airborne troops landed.
Shelling and fighting took place all day.
"There is no longer an area in Kharkiv where an artillery shell has not yet struck," said Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister, as apartment buildings and the city council were hit by missiles.
Elsewhere in the country, the town of Zhytomyr, about two hours west of Kiev, was hit by shelling overnight.
The Russian army also claimed to have seized the Ukrainian port city of Kherson in the south of the country.
In the north, the mayor of Konotop said Moscow's soldiers offered him an ultimatum: deliver the city or see it destroyed by the Russians.

The European reference price for natural gas, the Dutch TTF, soared on Wednesday to 194.715 euros per megawatt hour (MWh).

The West continues to threaten Russia with new sanctions in an attempt to end the fighting.
This Wednesday, the UN General Assembly was to vote on a draft resolution condemning Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and asking for an "immediate" withdrawal of its troops.
For his part, Joe Biden assures that "nothing is excluded" about a stoppage of Russian oil purchases.
While the number of Ukrainian refugees has jumped by 200,000 in twenty-four hours, talks for a ceasefire will be on the agenda Thursday in Belarus, where the Ukrainian delegation is expected.
