"Russia is terrorizing Kharkiv region with impunity. The residential area of Kharkiv is a targeted attack on a residential building... Ordinary Ukrainian civilians are becoming victims of the aggressor! Each such case is a crime. They must all be properly recorded, and the perpetrators must be punished! I draw the attention of the international community to this!" the Ombudsman wrote emotionally.
