defense ministries. as a dozen rockets were destroyed over the region, strikes came a day after a huge russian barge across ukraine, killed at least $39.00 civilians. the shock and disbelief, the daytime is sold set of air raid sirens, sending people into the streets. russia says the attack hits a residential area the kremlin reported shooting down doesn't so few crazy and drones and rockets as far away as the moscow region. the city of belgrade is just 30 kilometers from the ukrainian border and has been shout before. 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 better are since the sauce 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 of the crane is once again the credit is are forced to spend the holidays seeking sense of cleaning the rabbit and dirty and the dead. m. it's freezing, some for reach us. russia has now requested a security council meeting about the strikes on belgrade, calling it a terrorist attack and saying it will not go unpunished. keith has reported additional russian thrown attacks on ukrainian soil from on russia's massive

aerial assault. we all security analysts domicile, us like our most so what it says about most schools capacity to re, um what, 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 sides as well as drones that are 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 free bombs, their 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 week, there 1000000 all the dogs decided to sort of start setting up the russian economy on i was working on already last. yeah. we saw

a rush started using me sizes 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. they, they would, we present over 6 o, 6.5 percent off, rushes, unplug g d p output and, and, and the defense spending is intended to be around between 3540 percent of the overall trend spending. so i think that the russians in our community are ready to continue with is a whole i'm 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 helping ukraine because russia has the capability to hate to very
