Miller says he was outside the building enjoying a coffee just last week with a friend.
Another video of the aftermath shows the destruction wrought by the attack.
However, it appears the government building was not directly hit. According to the Guardian, the Ukraine military has stated the strike was an attempt to kill Kharkiv’s governor and his team leading the defence of the city.
