Russian troops have reportedly killed two civilians and a dog in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, despite the victims clearly displaying a white flag, according to the 77th Separate Airborne Brigade of Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces.

Ukraine has requested an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting following a large-scale Russian missile assault on Kyiv, which left at least 16 people dead and 159 injured, including 12 children.

Russia failed to achieve any major breakthrough during its advance on the Kharkiv front. NATO is confident that Ukraine can prevail, according to the interview with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
