\! Today in Kharkov is the Day of Mourning. The evening of August 17 and the morning of August 18 became one of the most difficult for Kharkov since the beginning of the war. People died, many were injured, including children, writes the mayor. - I think it would be right today to remember everyone whose lives were taken by the war, everyone who died within the walls of their homes, on the streets of their native city, on the battlefield. They will be remembered with warmth and love.. Having paid a terrible price, we will become stronger, and enemy missiles will become a pile of rust that will corrode their own creators.. Peace to Ukraine and strength to every Ukrainian family! Eternal memory to the dead"
