The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) is working in Kharkiv and Mykolaiv at the sites of liquidation of the consequences of night air strikes by the Russian army.
"Kharkiv. A Ukrainian Red Cross rapid response team in Kharkiv region worked alongside the city's special services at the site of attack aftermath...
