KHARKIV, UKRAINE – Video footage captured on Saturday shows residents of Ukraines second-largest city taking refuge in subway stations overnight as fears grew over renewed military operations. Streets remained eerily empty as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia entered its third day.
The exclusive footage, filmed by a contributor to CGTN, depicted families sheltering underground with blankets and minimal supplies. Meanwhile, the Kremlin announced that Kyiv had declined negotiation proposals, stating that “military operations will continue.”
