Almost 6000 Russians killed in 6 days of war: Ukraine’s President

On the seventh day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday said almost 6,000 Russians have been in 6 days of the war. Reuters quoted Zelenskiy as saying even as the Russian airborne troops landed in Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv, which is under intense shelling for the past few days.

The city mayor said at least 21 people were killed and 112 wounded in shelling in the last 24 hours. Earlier in the day, US President Joe Biden vowed to make Vladimir Putin “pay a price” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in his first State of the Union address.

Announcing that the US is banning Russia from its airspace, Biden said the Russian president met with “a wall of strength” in Ukraine. Biden’s comments come as Russian forces escalated their attacks on crowded urban areas Tuesday, bombarding the central square in Ukraine’s second-biggest city and Kyiv’s main TV tower.
