After the US Congress gave the green light for further military aid to Ukraine last weekend, EU foreign ministers confirmed their support for Kiev on Monday, but did not promise further deliveries for the air defense systems.
The Netherlands and Spain are among the European countries that have Patriot batteries, along with Germany, Sweden, Poland, Greece and Romania. The surface-to-air missiles are considered very effective against hypersonic missiles. The Russian army is currently increasingly attacking Ukraine’s infrastructure.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba addressed EU foreign ministers in a statement via video link, saying: “Now that you are all sitting here at the table, it is time to take action and not to discuss .” Borrell reiterated that things have now “matured.” “Everything has been said. Now is the time to take action,” he urged.
Television tower in Kharkov hit
Meanwhile, the television tower in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv was reportedly heavily damaged by a Russian attack. Videos on social networks on Monday showed the top of the 240-meter tower falling into the depths – an explosion cloud was also visible (see photo below).
Regional Governor Oleh Synyehubov confirmed that a “television infrastructure object” was hit. There would be no injuries.
Russians want to stop access to Ukrainian information
The Kharkiv Television Tower, which opened in 1981, provides the region with radio and television reception and is located about six kilometers from the center. The eastern Ukrainian city with over a million inhabitants has been under heavy Russian fire since mid-March. The power supply has already been disrupted and there is only electricity on an hourly basis. In addition to critical infrastructure, the Russians’ goal is apparently to cut off the population from Ukrainian information sources.
