The head of Kharkiv Oleg Sinegubov said one woman was killed in an attack on the northeastern city.

The attacks came a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to intensify strikes on Ukraine.

Both sides hit each other with deadly attacks in recent days, as Moscow‘s invasion nears its second anniversary.
