In Kharkiv, Ukraine, you can still hear the sound of explosions, but now it's outgoing, with the Ukrainians firing at the Russians in retreat. Russia started withdrawing its forces from around Ukraine's second-largest city earlier this week after near constant bombardment.
In Kharkiv, Ukraine, you can still hear the sound of explosions, but now it’s outgoing, with the Ukrainians firing at the Russians in retreat.
Russian bombing ripped through the spires of an orthodox church, but not enough to silence its bells. Windows were broken on the Federation of Trade Unions building. Many residents have had their homes destroyed, and can only return to salvage things. The Russians pounded Kharkiv with rockets and artillery, but never made it into the city with their troops.
“Kharkiv was holding on as strong as rock,” an organizer of the event told CTV National News. "The world can now see what we’re capable of.”
