Hit by crippling sanctions and facing boycotts in every sphere following its invasion of Ukraine, Russia has now started targeting residential and administrative buildings in major cities such as Kyiv and Kharkiv.

A video shared by Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Twitter shows an administrative building in Kharkiv – Ukraine’s second major city after Kyiv – go up in flames after a Russian missile hits it.

Accusing Russia of targeting civilians in violation of international laws, the Ukrainian ministry tweeted, “Russia is waging war in violation of international humanitarian law. Kills civilians, destroys civilian infrastructure. Russia’s main target is large cities that now fired at by its missiles.”

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s minister of foreign affairs, also tweeted visuals of the missile attack. “Barbaric Russian missile strikes on the central Freedom Square and residential districts of Kharkiv. Putin is unable to break Ukraine down. He commits more war crimes out of fury, murders innocent civilians. The world can and must do more. INCREASE PRESSURE, ISOLATE RUSSIA FULLY!,” he tweeted.
