Russia has launched fresh rocket attacks on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv in recent days, indicating a possible shift in tactics by Moscow. Ukraine said at least 20 people were killed on Tuesday and Wednesday in the country’s second-largest city, which lies near the Russian border. Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych in a video address said in that the aim of the strikes is to “terrorise the population” of the city. He also said the attacks are an attempt by Russia to divert Ukrainian troops from the key Donbas region where massive air and artillery strikes are in progress.
