Kharkiv cuts off ‘sister’ ties with Russian cities.

Kharkiv City Council announced on May 11 that it has unilaterally severed ties with Belgorod, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Novosibirsk. According to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, it is impossible for Kharkiv to have relationships with those that “kill Ukrainians and destroy our Motherland.”
