Russia accused the US of direct involvement in the war in Ukraine for the first time on Tuesday.

The Kremlin had previously accused the US of fighting a "proxy war", but Russian officials have stepped up the accusation by saying the Biden administration was approving targets for American-made Himars rocket launchers.

Lt Gen Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for Moscow's defence ministry, said the US is "directly responsible" for rocket attacks which killed civilians in the Donbas region. Intercepted calls between Ukrainian officials proved this, he said.

Now, large areas of the city resemble Stalingrad more than Stuttgart, as Kharkiv falls victim to what locals and experts say is a Russian strategy of targeting civilians.
