New Delhi: The Ukraine military said Russian paratroopers landed in its besieged second-largest city Kharkiv, BBC reported. Russian troops parachuted into Kharkiv stepping up an attack on Ukraine`s second-largest city which saw dozens of civilian killings in bombings Tuesday.

Russian forces escalated their attacks on crowded urban areas Tuesday, bombarding the central square in Ukraine's second-biggest city and Kyiv's main TV tower in what the country's president called a blatant campaign of terror.

Russia told Kyiv residents to flee their homes and rained rockets on the city of Kharkiv. Additionally, the World Bank is preparing a $3 billion support package for Ukraine. US President Joe Biden was to say in a speech on Tuesday night that Russian President Vladimir Putin`s invasion of Ukraine was "premeditated and unprovoked."

Meanwhile, of the hundreds of refugees gathered on the grounds of a village school in eastern Hungary, almost all were women and children who left their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons behind to fight in Ukraine's resistance to the deadly Russian invasion.
