CNN —A wave of Russian strikes Thursday pummeled several locations in Kharkiv, including a printing house, killing seven people, as the Kremlin’s forces move closer in on the region.
Russian forces have taken advantage of a weakened front line in Ukraine, and for the past two weeks have advanced towards Kharkiv, which was liberated from Russian control earlier in the war.
The Ukrainian state railway network was attacked in the early morning, according to a statement from the company.
Earlier this month, the US approved a $400 million package of air defense munitions and other weapons to Ukraine.
But senior officials in Kyiv have warned that recent flush of aid will not be enough to fend off further Russian advances.
