VIDEO: 11 killed as Russia attacks Ukraine’s second-largest city

Russian forces have bombarded the government headquarters in Ukraine’s second-biggest city, killing at least 11 civilians, officials have said, as a huge armoured column rolling towards the capital, Kyiv, raised fears of more devastating Russian tactics.

Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba on Tuesday tweeted video of the explosion in Kharkiv’s Freedom Square, calling it a “barbaric Russian missile strike” and accusing the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, of “murdering innocent civilians”.

He commits more war crimes out of fury, murders innocent civilians. The world can and must do more. INCREASE PRESSURE, ISOLATE RUSSIA FULLY! pic.twitter.com/tN4VHF1A9n
