Quote"The military have never lived in this hotel, and almost all Kharkiv knew it. This hotel was used by journalists. This was a well-known fact. At the moment of the strike, there were foreign journalists in the hotel, including ones from Turkey. Therefore, I consider that Russia targeted the media intentionally," said Volodymyr Tymoshko, the head of the Kharkiv police.

According to Ihor Terekhov, the mayor, residential buildings were damaged besides the Park Hotel. These include a municipal house, a private house, a car dealership, and a production facility.
