Trump demands Ukraine war 'to be over with' as multiple explosions hit residential areas in Kharkiv

Our International Editor, Emma Murphy, has been reporting from Kharkiv. Whilst she was filming, the city was hit by powerful strikes, causing the crew to run to safety- a vivid reminder of the daily reality for most Ukrainians. Despite President Trump's announcement of a so-called 'energy ceasefire', Ukraine has tonight been hit by yet another series of devastating strikes by Russia. The sirens go day and night in Kyiv now. The apps on the phones squark their alerts, as an eerie wail blasts from the city’s loud speakers. Their warning is the same, incoming trouble. Sometimes it’s drones, often jet powered, sometimes it’s ballistic missiles. Whichever, they are coming with speed and menace as Ukrainian forces try to intercept them. These days interception is more difficult given the deficit of air defence ammunition. We were filming at a market over the weekend when another alert went off. Ballistic this time, sending those shopping or selling scrambling for cover. We ran with them towards the metro as a tell-tale white trace soared through the sky, followed by the sounds of explosions. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: / itvnews Follow ITV News on Facebook: / itvnews Follow ITV News on X: / itvnews
