The city of about 1.5-million people situated 25km from the Russian border has been hammered by Russian air and rocket strikes since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, reducing some neighbourhoods to rubble. Alexander Alimov, Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, delivered his comments at a UN event after Kharkiv’s mayor described damage to the city.“Due to the criminal policy of the Kyiv authorities a real humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in the city,” Alimov said. “Kharkiv residents are held hostage by radicals and cannot leave the humanitarian corridors,” he added, saying that 6,500 foreign nationals from 19 countries were among the “hostages”.
