Albanian consulate in Kharkiv destroyed by Russian bombing 

 Albania's honorary consulate in Kharkiv has been destroyed by Russian bombing, the Foreign Ministry said in a Twitter post.

"Albania strongly condemns the Russian aggression that led to the destruction of the honorary consulate of Albania in Kharkiv. The perpetrators will be held accountable", it is said in the announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The ministry did not provide information on whether there were any casualties or injuries from the demolition of the building but published some photos from the scene.

Kharkiv is Ukraine's second-largest city and has been regularly bombed and attacked by Russians since the start of the occupation on February 24.

Albania has sided with countries condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and has imposed sanctions on Moscow. Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a decree that placed Albania on the list of not friendly countries with Russia.
