The mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitshko50, posted on Wednesday direct words from Russia and the president Vladimir Putin war in Ukraine.
A video on the social media hit a reporter for Australian 7 News Chris Reason notes to Klitshko that Putin has said he is only bombing military targets in Ukraine. Reason then hands the microphone to the mayor.
Klitshko loses his temper.

According to a report by the UN Monitoring Mission on Human Rights, 1,761 civilian casualties have been confirmed in Ukraine since Russia launched a full-scale war. As of Monday, 636 civilians have been killed and 1,125 injured in the war.
According to the report, the majority of deaths and injuries have been caused by bombings and airstrikes.
The UN points out that the actual figures are much higher, as several reports from the Kharkiv region, Mariupol and the Donetsk region have yet to be confirmed.
Russia’s attacks on civilian targets are on the rise in Kiev, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.
On Tuesday, at least two people were killed in a residential area in Kiev, according to news agency AFP.
