KHARKIV, Ukraine — Russia’s bombardment of cities around Ukraine on Saturday included an explosion in Kharkiv that destroyed a community kitchen.

Associated Press journalists at the scene saw the immediate aftermath of the apparent missile attack. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said three people were killed and 34 wounded by missile strikes Saturday in that city alone.

The kitchen was set up by World Central Kitchen, which is run by celebrity chef José Andrés to establish feeding systems in disaster and war zones. Andrés tweeted that the non-governmental organization’s staff members were shaken but safe.

“According to the current plan the aircraft carrier will enter a dock for repairs at the 35th plant in April. The repairs will last till September,” one source said.

The other source confirmed this, adding that the aircraft carrier would be set afloat again in September.

Is there an English-language propaganda website from Russia? Ditto an English-language news website from Ukraine (altho I expect it may have been targeted in the war)?
