Amnesty Accuses Russia of Killing Hundreds of Civilians in Kharkiv
------------------------------------------------------------------

Heavy fighting is continuing in the eastern Ukrainian city of
Severodonetsk as Russia moves closer to seizing all of the Luhansk
region. Just one bridge remains connecting Severodonetsk to other areas
still under Ukrainian control. This comes as Amnesty International has
accused Russia of using indiscriminate shelling and cluster munitions to
kill hundreds of civilians in the northeastern Ukrainian city of
Kharkiv. As Ukraine continues to press Western nations for more advanced
weapons, Russia is claiming it struck a large arms depot Sunday in
western Ukraine where Ukraine was storing weapons sent by the United
States and allies. Twenty-two people were reportedly injured in the
strike.
