The mayor of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine drove a member of the Ukrainian parliament around the city destroyed by Russian bombings in a video shared on Wednesday.
More than 400 civilians have been killed by Russian bombs and the mayor this week has appealed to Volodymyr Zelenskiy for captured Russian pilots to be imprisoned rather than swapped for Ukrainian prisoners of war.
Chernihiv is without water, gas or electricity after sustained bombing by artillery and Russian jets. Among a series of attacks on civilian targets, 10 people were killed two weeks ago while queueing for bread.
