The Russian military columns coming through Kharkiv and Sumy regions and the east of Ukraine were simply destroyed by our aviation. The Russians suffered the greatest losses in the first days of the war because they did not expect Ukrainian air defense would hold out and remain able to shoot down planes and strike at these Russian columns after the first Russian missile strikes.

Local websites and Telegram channels reported that Kharkiv was bombed starting around 16:00.

There were no casualties among the civilian population in Kharkiv at the time of reporting.
