he says power outages are intensifying across the country. every city in ukraine tonight has a skyline, a backdrop that looks broadly similar to the one behind me at the moment. as you can see, is betty a light on anywhere across here. tonight, down on the streets, the only lights you really see all the tale and headlights passing cause street lights not working at all. the only lights you can see behind me are the ones that are powered by diesel generators. the buildings lucky enough to have those still have power still have heats, but across much of the country across most of the city, people are shivering in darkness in their apartments and their homes. and it's a very cold night tonight. this is a situation that we're having to be dealing with since october the 10th, when the russians started to target energy infrastructure in a major way. since then, better with being successive ways of missile attacks. at the moment we're looking

at least 24 hours of power outages, but much of the country there are 2 nuclear power stations in the south that have been taken offline. they're running on emergency procedures at the moment. president zalinski has said that he wants to call for an emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss the latest round of miss attacks on the country. doctor roman fish took is an ear, nose, and throat doctor and had of clinical trials at events from mix keeps central clinical hospital in western ukraine. he joins as far as sky. thank you very much for being with us. one of you can tell us bit about how the outages, the power outages are affecting your hospital and the area your in particular well, thank you for the invitation and well right now, i mean, it runs from gifts which is in the western ukraine. and do we have power outages every day and both planned and emergency outages because the system works as one in the country and not only in ukraine you,

you also heard that my daughter is without the power right now. and it, my apartment, we don't have electricity right now, so i am at the hospital right now. it's going to critical infrastructure like hospitals. we do have backup electricity supply for backup, electricity supply, and even in case that goes off, we have generator as well. so fortunately, we have the different scenarios for facilities of critical infrastructure. and today they launched their points of instability as they call it in ukraine. so people can come and get water t warm drinks and charge their cell phones to. there will be a wireless internet connection all the time there. so this is something in case emergency happens and there is no light at all or no electricity in the, in any place. and he mentioned that said, the hospitals have backup systems. how can sandy that, that, that, how, that, how robust that is? well, it is robust and we actually had a chance to, to,

to check it. so if you days ago, i think november 15th, when we had another attack of a russian miss, i was really an infrastructure. we didn't have the light for about 1015 minutes at the hospital, but then they would turn the generators on and everything was back. fine, and so hard, it was only one time that the hospital was without power for about 10 to 15 minutes and that's it. so. and have you had to change the way you went because of the rest of the way that the war is happening? well, absolutely right now safety is the major concern for everyone for us, for the employees, for the, for our patients. so whenever we want patients want to come to for a consultation, for example, we need to think of other safety. will we have air raid sirens will be targeted because hospitals, as you see, are being pretty much targeted by the russians all the time. and it's about safety . and this has changed a lot. and patient in many cases are pretty reluctant or from coming to the

hospital and has that affected your work in particular and you had up clinical trials. oh, yes, this is the war actually impacted our industry a lot. so unfortunately, although we tried to encourage companies to work back up plans in case something happened, and we tried to tell them that the clinical trials are, as you know, they are needed even more than ever right now here. but the company, so most of their recruitment in clinical trials hold it trials that were approved by the national regulators, local ethics committees, they are put on whole old. and even though some companies don't pay us for the work with it like a year ago, so this is a, we're trying to work this out with them, but it's, it's challenging. so tell us about the effects of the cold going properly into that . the hard when to now and with people not having any crystal or power to use a how concerned are you about that that the health effects of that well we would

are concerned because with the cold you know my the health condition deteriorate and it will work if we will be able to who would be able to provide proper health health services to our patients. but again, unfortunately, i think hospitals are provided with as much back up oh, electrical supply as, as possible. and these points of interest in the some invincible that they will serve and just regular citizens as a rescue point in case they don't have a tricity for hours or days. so right now it is, it is difficult, it will be a very difficult winter, but we, as people in the country are doing everything we can to pretty much met, minimize the effects of these attacks and critical infrastructure. but again, if we don't know how much more attacks will have and they happen very frequently right now. so talk to him. if it's chuck, thank you very much and he's putting it on talk to us. we appreciate it. thank you . thank you
