Kharkiv refugees recount Russian attacks on city

Some refugees fleeing Ukraine to Poland told tales of tragedy unfolding in the city of Kharkiv. Olha Kondratenko, 42, after arriving at the Polish border town of Medyka said the situation in the eastern city was "getting worse by the day." One family had only one child survive after walking into a landmine in a Kharkiv suburb, Kondratenko said.

"It is a horrible situation in Chuhuiv, raped women come to hospitals," she said.

Kharkiv regional Gov. Oleh Synyehubov said Sunday that Russian artillery and tanks carried out over 20 strikes on Kharkiv and its outskirts over the past 24 hours. Synyyehubov said four people were wounded in a Russian missile strike on Lozova in the south of the Kharkiv region. He said that in the town of Balakliia, Russian tanks hit a local hospital, damaging the building and prompting the authorities to evacuate patients.
