In March, Russia fired several rockets at the central government building in central Kharkiv.
The first explosion tore not only the facade of the house, but also the entire interior.
The images of the first rocket's direct hit shocked both Ukraine and the outside world.
It was a terrifying test of Russian attacks in the middle of Ukraine's second largest city.
Officer Oleg Supereka was present when the attack occurred.
He clearly remembers his first reaction.
- Everyone who was here probably felt exactly the same thing: anger.
And it was an anger that multiplied when we saw the enormous devastation in the central parts of the city.
We saw the blood and our slain comrades.
The mayor: 108 out of 200 schools have been destroyed
Even today, aircraft alarms and the rumble of artillery are part of everyday life, but the Russian forces have been pushed away.
- Of course, a lot has been destroyed.
Many neighborhoods are destroyed.
108 out of 200 schools in the city have been destroyed.
The Russian invaders have inherited many cultural world heritage sites.
It is, of course, terrible, says Mayor Ihor Terechov
