The leadership of Ukraine will do everything possible so that people can return to civilian life, Head of the President's Office of Ukraine said, commenting on the shelling of Kharkiv.

"Kharkiv. I am lacking the words. We will do everything possible so that people can return to their usual peaceful life. Kharkiv suffered greatly from Russian bombs, shells and bullets. This is a crime against humanity. Not otherwise," Yermak said on Facebook.

Attached to his message is a photograph of the mass evacuation of Kharkiv residents at the city railway station.
