The Russian army is shelling the city of Kharkiv and other parts of the region in eastern Ukraine this morning , regional military administration chief Oleg Sinegubov said on Telegram.

An S-300 missile hit the city center, "information about possible casualties and destruction are still under investigation," added Sinegubov.

Meanwhile , the specter of nuclear power is once again making Ukraine and the world tremble , with the Russian hawk Dmitry Medvedev evoking the use of atomic bombs as a response to the attacks on Kiev , Crimea or any other Russian region, supported by the new arrival of western weapons. With Canada's first Leopard 2 already flying to the theater of war.

«According to our nuclear doctrine, Russia may use nuclear weapons if atomic or other types of mass destruction are used against Russia or its allies, if it receives verified information about launching ballistic missiles to attack Russia or its allies, in the event of conventional aggression if the existence of the state is in danger", threatened the deputy president of the Russian Security Council, assuring that Moscow does not place restrictions on the use of any weapon: "The response will be quick, hard and convincing" . But Kiev is not intimidated, and invites you to "ignore" Medvedev.

Because «Ukraine can liberate its territories using any means» and «Crimea is Ukraine. Therefore, threats of 'reprisal attacks' are only a confirmation of the intention to commit mass murder and an attempt to scare us,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhaylo Podolyak attacked.

Tension is skyrocketing, as is the clash between Moscow and the West while the first Canadian Leopard 2 tank has left from Halifax complete with photos posted by the Minister of Defence. In the meantime, the European Union and the G7 have definitively adopted the agreement (also joined by Australia) on the price cap for Russian petroleum products, while the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, confirmed the promise made to Kiev at the summit with Zelensky: the tenth package of European sanctions against Moscow will arrive by February 24, the first anniversary of the Russian invasion.

"We are making Putin pay for his atrocious war," thunders the European leader. Atrocities such as the Russian war crimes of which Germany has ensured that it has collected "three-digit" evidence. "Currently, we are focusing on the mass killings in Bucha or attacks against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure," said German Attorney General Peter Frank, calling for an international trial of those responsible.
