Russian strikes on Kharkiv and oblast on May 23

Russia launched a devastating missile attack on Kharkiv and the cities of Zolochiv and Lyubotyn in the Kharkiv Oblast, killing seven people and injuring several more.

At least 15 strikes have been reported.

Seven people killed in Kharkiv were employees of a printing house, presumably Vivat. They were at their workplaces at the time of the attack.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported that the Russian forces aimed at the city’s transport infrastructure and a municipal unit vital for the city's life support systems.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
