Ukraine repels Russian attack on Kharkiv
Regional governor Oleh Synehubov said the city was now rid of Russian troops – after street-to-street fighting.
In the meantime, Ukrainian foreign minister claims his country military has destroyed World’s largest aircraft.
The world’s largest aircraft – the Antonov An-225 – has been destroyed during Russian advance, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says.
The plane was designed and built during the final years of the Soviet Union. It is so big the plane’s cargo hold is as long as the Wright brothers’ first flight.
It was built to transport space shuttles but in recent years has rarely taken to the skies. It was destroyed during fighting at the Hostomel airport near Kyiv.
