BREAKING UN votes overwhelmingly to demand Russia withdraw from Ukraine as refugee crisis unfolds
A huge, 40-mile-long column of Russian tanks and other military vehicles stood outside the capital, and Russian invaders pressed their assault on the strategic port cities of Kherson and Mariupol.
Russian attacks, many with missiles, blew the roof off Kharkiv's five-story regional police building and set the top floor on fire, and also hit the intelligence headquarters and a university building, according to officials and videos and photos released by Ukraine's State Emergency Service. Officials residential buildings were also hit, but did not provide details.
Arestovich said that several Russian planes were shot down over Kharkiv, though that could not be confirmed.
