the city of belgrade is just 30 kilometers from the ukrainian border and has been shouted before. t v. usually dozens claim responsibility for attacks on russian territory. but previous heavy russian assaults on ukrainian cities have been followed by strikes against russia. on friday, russian forces launched more than a 100 miss on and drug and attacks on cities across the ukraine. like here in odessa, ukraine has described it as the biggest ariel bar osh since the start of the war. almost 2 years ago. russia drew shop criticism as a united nations security council meeting. mister president, surgically 2023 is ending as he began with the investigating violence against the people. for crane. once again, ukraine is are forced to spend the holidays seeking sense of cleaning, the rabble and dirty, and the dead m. it's freezing. supper reaches,

or russia has now requested a security council meeting about the strikes on belt the road, calling it a terrorist attack and saying it will not go unpunished. keith has reported additional russian thrown attacks on ukrainian soil. flora ross is massive aerial assault on ukraine. on friday i asked the til the 2nd level, so security analyst takings, colleagues, london, what this says about russia's capacity to re, um, the way what it actually showed was that russia was ready to use a lot of the me size and of the sort of crews on and probably stick me size as well as drones that did have produced over the last year year in particular. and that it was ready really to make our show a false. what is also indicates is that, um, you know, it shows that the russians are actually have pre, bombed very industrial capacity, very much over the last 2 years. these be done very soon after the start of the

russian invasion of the brain. when russia or the russian leadership to get that we are 1000000 on the dogs, decided to sort of start searching on that russian economy on i was working on already last. yeah. we saw a rush started using me size that were produced in 2022. so they should not come as a surprise, i think that the russians seemed ready to invest very much on defense spending, which is expected to increase about 70 percent in 2024. so they, they would we present to over 6. so 6.5 percent off rushes on for a g d p output and and, and the defense spending is intended to be around. 1 between 3540 percent of all the defense spending. so i think that the russians, you know, clearly are ready to continue with is

a whole on to be ready to achieve some of their objectives. so that, that is really what is showing what is what frustrates attempting to achieve, i think, is to sort of, uh, send a message to the ways that, uh, you know, there is no point in re, i mean ukraine or has been ukraine because russia has the capability to hate to very effectively on hardly me on a massive scale if necessary. okay, that's interesting because obviously you claim once more support from its allies, especially yeah. defenses. it has this attack re ignited a sense of urgency. are definitely also because what roster tried to do was to sort of start to rate the defense system by sending so many nissans that uh, you know it's, it's hard for the system to sort of recharge the defense may sizes that are necessary to counter the incoming may size, so, i mean, and also what russia is probably trying to do is to sort of exhaust the ability of ukraine. i needs our lives to provide, you know,

on time me size for the air defense system. so these as for to sort of saturate the system, my thing was we knew what was behind these, these attacks besides try and maybe do hit i to particular facilities. we, i'm, it's not here whether they get a military facilities. we know that they hit energy 1st name, it is on many civilian targets. we're also damaged. it's not clear what that that was that was on to of old. so when he me size incoming, me sides are counted on the air that creates a sort of explosions on the ground that that kind of getting many civilians. and that's the argument that many new grand on knowledge using regarding their talking bank or douglas mentioned in your program a few minutes ago. so sometimes when may sizes that are coming in or hit, they create sort of an explosion which can also affect c, b. and so it's very hard to know at this moment what the exact target square. but what was important about the a type of yesterday subject was quite

e and it was substantial. it used to different kinds of me sizes and weapon reads and drones. i also 18 aircraft, said shooting me stars, and it also covered a vast amount of territory. it included attacks in v in the west. oh, so i think in april, uh, in that kias and from there on, you know, those are so, you know, it was quite vast in terms of its geographic can reach. okay, thank you very well. i mean, we don't even argue that before. sorry, well, we're going to stay going through the or that i think that part of this tag was, that responds to, uh, sort of the, the, the, the, the heating of the, of the neighbors best. so its, i don't see it by the ukrainians, which came many sailors. it was a, a casualty, not figure out around $77.00. so there is a lot of soda of a sense of, of, of injuring the attacks that the ukraine ends up having now to effectively, uh, when there are many casualties, especially in the black sea sleeve, which has such as symbolic value. okay, well i have to leave it there. don't tell us,
