The main TV tower in Ukraine’s second-largest city has been blown up by Russia, sparking fears of an imminent attack on the city. Video shows the strike on Kharkiv on April 22, as a Russian missile severs the mast from the tower and sends it crashing to the ground. More footage shows the aftermath of the strike, as curious locals went to the scene to inspect the damage. The attack has echoes of a similar strike Russia carried out on Kyiv in the early days of the war, right before Putin’s troops tried to surround the city. Ukraine has been warning of a major Russian offensive in the Kharkiv region for months, but fresh fears were sparked by the US passing a $60bn aid package. Putin has a window of advantage between now and whenever the aid begins arriving in Ukraine to grab whatever territory he can. Taking Kharkiv would give him a major bargaining chip if the aid package tips the war back in Ukraine’s favour and he is forced to sue for peace. #russia #ukraine #war
