Russian forces have moved into Ukraine's second-largest city, resulting in street fighting and damage to Kharkiv's infrastructure.
Russian troops had remained on the outskirts of Kharkiv until Sunday, when they moved into the city of 1.4 million people. Videos posted on social media showed Russian vehicles moving across the city and Ukrainian soldiers firing at the Russian forces.
As The Associated Press reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office said that Russian forces blew up a gas pipeline. Officials have warned citizens to cover their windows with damp cloth or gauze to protect themselves from the smoke.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, meanwhile, said a Russian delegation of diplomats and military officials had arrived in the Belarusian city of Gomel on Sunday.
