RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE TAKES ON AIR OF DESPERATION: As Volodymyr Zelensky was on the phone with President Joe Biden discussing what weapons and ammunition would be rushed to Ukraine as soon as a $61 billion aid package receives final Senate approval, the Ukrainian president was getting word of Russia’s latest attack.
A Russian cruise missile struck a television tower in Kharkiv, the top half of which could be seen tumbling to the ground on video posted on X. “Russia clearly signals its intention to make the city uninhabitable,” Zelensky said after his call with Biden. “Obviously, this is an intimidation to make the terror noticeable to the whole city and to try to limit Kharkiv in terms of communication and access to information. Work is underway to restore the signal,” he said in his nightly video address.
