NAfter a Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, the television tower collapsed on Monday. An AFP journalist observed the collapse of the 240-meter-high building.

There were “interruptions in the signal for digital television,” Synegubow continued. Photos and videos showed the tower collapsing and smoke rising.

Television towers in Ukraine have been bombed or fired at several times since the Russian invasion more than two years ago. The aim is apparently to cut off the population from information from Ukrainian sources.

Before the war, 1.4 million people lived in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, near the Russian border. It has been increasingly attacked by Russian troops in recent weeks. The power supply is already disrupted and there is only electricity on an hourly basis.

Russia conquers another eastern Ukrainian village

The Russian armed forces are now reporting the capture of another village in eastern Ukraine. The Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Monday that this was the town of Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region. This improved the tactical situation.

Novomykhaliwka is located a good 20 kilometers southwest of the regional capital Donetsk, which is under Russian control. The conquest was not confirmed by the Ukrainian side. The general staff report spoke of repulsed attacks. Ukrainian military observers had already marked the place as Russian-controlled that night.
