This is the moment a 240-metre television tower in Ukraine broke in half and collapsed into the ground. Local officials said the tower fell after a Russian airstrike hit Kharkiv. Ukrainian President Zelensky said the attack was “an intimidation to make the terror noticeable to the whole city” and an attempt to limit Kharkiv’s “communication and access to information”. Some experts predict that Russia is edging towards a renewed ground offensive against Kharkiv. It’s not the first time Russia has struck the TV tower, the first time being in March 2022 just after the war began. But Kharkiv has seen an increase in attacks in the last month and its shortage in air defence supplies has led President Zelensky to call for more funding and aid to help support his country. #ukraine #russia #kharkiv Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
