The eastern city of Mykolaiv also reported 10 powerful explosions on Friday morning. The city's two biggest universities were hit in the attack, wounding at least four people, local authorities said. Russia also struck a hotel and a shopping mall in Mykolaiv on Thursday.

Russian missile strikes targeted several other Ukrainian cities on Wednesday and early Thursday, including Kharkiv, Zaporizhia and Mykolaiv. In an interview with ABC News Live on Thursday, Carpenter said the Russians are"trying to take away Ukrainians who might have Ukrainian civic impulses, who are patriots, who want to defend their country." Carpenter said the Russians want to"erase Ukrainian identity" and"the Ukrainian nation state, as the entity that governs people's lives in these regions."
