Ukraine’s president says attacks on the eastern city of Kharkiv amount to state terrorism committed by Russia.

Addressing the European Parliament by videolink, Volodymyr Zelensky calls Russia’s strike on central Kharkiv and the administration building a war crime and a conscious destruction of people.

“Evil, armed with rockets, bombs and artillery, must be stopped immediately. Destroyed economically. We must show that humanity is able to protect themselves,” he says.

Earlier he posted a photograph which he said shows him signing an application for Ukraine’s membership in the European Union.
