On April 22, a 240-meter-high TV tower in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, was hit by Russian missiles, and the top of the TV tower broke. After the air raid sirens sounded, the employees of the TV tower took refuge in the shelter according to the procedure, and the attack caused no casualties, and the local digital TV signal was interrupted. In March 2022, in the early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia used warplanes to bomb Kharkiv television, which also caused TV and radio broadcasts to be disrupted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian army blew up the Kharkiv TV tower in an attempt to make Kharkiv uninhabitable. Zelensky said in an interview that at the Swiss peace summit, Ukraine hopes to first agree on a final document to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, first without Russia's participation.

The U.S. Senate is expected to vote this week on a bill to force TikTok divestiture, which passed the House of Representatives over the weekend by a vote of 360 to 58. Before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken left for China on April 24, the U.S. State Department refused to say whether Blinken would communicate with China about TikTok in response to a question from a Phoenix reporter. Separately, the U.S. State Department said Blinken's visit was unrelated to the possibility that the U.S. Congress could pass two bills this week related to the forced TikTok divestment and aid to Taiwan.

According to a report by the Syrian News Agency on April 22, the US military once again transferred a large amount of oil and wheat stolen from Syria to Iraq on the same day. A convoy of 45 tankers and 24 trucks of the US military reportedly transported the oil and wheat stolen in Hasakah province in northeastern Syria to US military bases in Iraq in batches starting the early morning of 22 July. In recent years, Syrian state media have repeatedly reported that the U.S. military has stolen resources from northeastern Syria and transferred them to U.S. military bases in Iraq. At present, many parts of northeastern Syria are controlled by the Syrian Democratic Army. This group is mainly led by the Syrian Kurdish Armed People's Protection Units (SPPG) and is supported by the United States.

The city of London announced in March this year that the city government would donate old motor vehicles that do not meet the exhaust emission standards to Ukraine with the consent of the owners. However, the British media recently broke the news that these donated vehicles have not yet been delivered to Ukraine, but are parked on farms on the outskirts of London "rusty". According to the plan previously announced by the City of London, citizens can retire private vehicles that do not meet London's ultra-low emission zone standards in exchange for a £2,000 subsidy, and also have the option to donate their old cars to Ukraine instead of sending them for scrap. "British-Ukrainian Aid" originally planned to send the first batch of vehicles to Ukraine on the 11th of this month, but because it was during the election for mayor of London, the related activities were canceled as a campaign campaign, and the vehicles were parked in a farm field in the suburbs of London.
