File Photo (Reuters) 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.

U.S. President Joe Biden led a standing ovation on Tuesday in support of Ukrainians facing a Russian siege in a State of the Union speech he rewrote to assail President Vladimir Putin for what he called his "unprovoked and premeditated invasion." "Let each of us if you`re able to stand, stand and send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world," Biden said.
"Throughout our history we've learned this lesson - when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs and threats to America and the world keep rising," Biden said addressing the joint session of the Congress in his first State of the Union.
We need to level the playing field with China and other competitors. That’s why it’s so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act. It will make record investments in emerging technologies, American manufacturing, and innovation. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it: Joe Biden
Our economy created over 6.5 million new jobs in America last year. More jobs created in one year than ever before: Joe Biden
"We will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights," said US President Biden during the State of the Union address.
