has launched 90 attack drones in an aerial assault on ukraine in the hours leading into new year's day. keith says that it's air defenses destroyed 87 of them. it came as ukraine's president for loading. there's lensky gave a motivational 20 minute new year's address to his nation after almost 2 years of war with russia. ukraine is a live ukraine fights ukraine exist. he said, as he encouraged citizens to keep up their efforts, greene, he said a victory was not received or granted. but gain. there was no mention no of the ongoing problems in securing continued military aid from his allies, including the us and the new 4 year old. awesome, great. you get a view of correspondence. when you find the car is in ukraine for us. she joins us from cave. sonia, what does the lens keys new, your speech? tell us about where the country is right now and it's more effort. it

was settled. this was, i think, mainly a defined speech in the rallying ukrainians. presidents and lensky said the russian invasion had already demonstrated the strength and resilience of his country. we've to remember this week, of course, your queen and your uh, what it says is the worst russian edited bombardment of the country since the beginning of the full scale invasion. and this comes, of course, often the 2 years of grinding conflict. us from report to be a sticking me on the back of the field, you're creating all me facing the shortage of min admissions. and so i think the mood here has certainly to include me. and so this was a speech really meant to boost what all and race, but it's, and so it didn't really make any reference to a for, for income to offensive, or the situation on the front line in the east and in the south with us and forces are reportedly on the offensive, in some cases, in an attempt to also boost morale. um, presumably the ukranian president promised didn't increase in domestic weapons

production. but, you know, that's, that's been an effort that we've seen especially ramp up in the past months. it's, it's not being seen, however, as enough to turn the course of the war. how difficult is ukraine's position right now? that is today to be president. and let's the, you know, kind of repeat to this promise of, of ramping up domestic production production next year in ukraine, particularly said the fo, sorry, particularly said um, you know, uh, producing and maybe in a tones that have been quite essential. and ukraine's a fight because it's been using that behind enemy lines. but he writes that unless he'll see, this will not be enough to change the title of all ukraine remains heavily dependent on western weapons. and i think these massive russian edited bombardments ukraine this week kind of really has waste concerns here and great questions about whether you quinton would stand such coordinated barrage in the future. i mean, i think the schools, the continuing need for critical weapons do you create in particular, you know, advance in defense systems, particularly for frontline cities and towns and,

and crucially munitions because we also holding reports for the shortage of munitions is beginning to affect, you know, frontline operations on the, on the battlefields with some ukrainian you know, a crew is saying that now needing to ration, auditory fails. so i think this all this kind of a has res hopes and concerns. i showed that the waste was now, you know, continue to supply and unblock these massive domain, a ministry and financially the packages in washington and in brussels and continue to, to supply you claim the critical weapons that concern 0. it's about that doesn't happen . that's what i'm bored in prussia and that it could raise the risk of, you know, possibly some bucks on the box with sonya finally, car reporting some kids. thank you. a quick reminder of the breaking news as our a. saddam a warning is in effect for japan's west coast. after a series of powerful earthquakes, the biggest waves are expected in asia. cobwebs, professor. authorities are advising people to immediately go to upper floors and to
