ah ah. hi on semi ok. russia's war with ukraine is heading into the cold is months of the year. and as you crane has regained territory, formerly held by russian forces, russian is now turning. it's attention to attacking power plants and power lines, of course, for civilians. this means mass electricity, less power, less heat out zeros or talents, reported from here earlier this week. and this is what i want to share about winter in ukraine and how ukrainians academy. whereas in the warmer months,

you probably be okay, living in a building like this, with blown out windows or a damage roof. when the temperature plummets, such conditions really take that whole metal cabins, how some whose homes are uninhabitable, but they're mains powered. so in the frequent blackouts they quickly become refrigerators. valentina is trying to stay positive. why a shareholder commercial also, it could be worse compared to our boys in the trenches there, freezing. i keep active during the day, but last night it was a bit scary when the lights went off. i put on my hat, my hood, the electricity was off from one until 9 pm. joining us doing today, we have roar. we have, we have my la dana analyst. i have maria. good to have all 3 of you rivers been you? i mean, you ask your expertise, roy, please say hello tat audience around the world. they, i know they know your reports and remind them who you are and what you day. yes i am or al jazeera correspondent, i have been many, many years. or for

a good number of those years i was out in moscow has out there is russia reporter. i was there from 2014 to 2018 so. so a lot of stuff happening in that time. most recently i've been out in ukraine and that's where i'm at the moment. i've been in keith as the 2nd of my trips here have been here on the 2nd trip for a couple of weeks. and i was here in about a month ago as well. so, you know, seeing a lot of what's happened in the autumn campaign of this war, i got back in just a moment while a day now i got to have him. please introduce yourself to audience around the world . hello, my name is la donna radson. i'm a former deputy minister of health of ukraine. i currently work a medical network, a private medical network that has its facilities all o work here and k origin be and my husband is sort of in,

in the ukranian army. so is currently located in the lead region. thank you for joining us and maria, welcome to the stream. welcome to the stream. students. if you have you here in person, please say hello to our audience around the world. hello friends. my name is marie m as into the member of ukrainian parliament, represent in the city of har, kiff, i'm also that is ahead of europe integration committee and the chair woman of ukrainian delegation to the council of europe. so maria, i've had this raise quite a lot. russia is a weapon ising winter. what does that mean, the ukrainians, all this events which we are currently living on daily basis is definitely an energy genocide. this attacks are proven to be not very efficient because we are repairing things very smoothly and very fast. i will give you just one number. so

a day ago was 70 rockets were launched across different regions of ukraine, specifically targeting energy infrastructure, critical infrastructure as you break is that to leave the, the population without electricity heating, et cetera. only sick, only 10 were successful. so basically we would say 90 percent of them are he by our air defense, we can imagine what could have happened. all of them would the right people are very courageous as that very lady in the video of for it. there are so many millions of people like that who are staying in holmes regardless difficult circumstances of this winter, which is not the coldest one by the way. and they do not want to relocate. so my colleagues across the globe are asking away, expecting any. but all the waves of tempers are located persons with don't think so because we are receiving help from international community in terms of friday.

there's generators to keep the systems going. of course, we've expected this targets of critical infrastructure even in summer we were trying to prepare ourselves. but you can be prepared to witness and terrorism daily basis. yeah. and that's why you can get used to this, and this is not normal. and this is a result of an act of aggression, which is a crime against humanity. let's just find out how they can. yeah, mother guy. yeah, yeah. i just want to confirm that, you know, it's a little late, largest terroristic attack ever experienced in the history when you've got 40000000 country being terrorized on a daily basis by another country. so i'm just completely agree with maria. i think when you talked about your husband serving in you kind of a, you wrote your eyes, i don't even know if you notice that you did it. but i can imagine why why

you would do that. but it must be a huge drain to have a family member in one place and you walking in another place. what do you know about the conditions that he is serving in that he's working? because if you're losing power in keys, what's happening? where the forces are fighting fall of there is no electricity, mostly on the entire front line. so they have to use also power banks and field generators. and also they need to some, you know, equipment like told to actually get their get their facilities warm. they need to have one uniform waterproof uniform because it's quite tough to, to, to stay in the weather when it's raining all the time. and afterwards it's getting,

getting the temperature getting below 0. so it's kind of challenging and it's an additional challenge. however, they are staying, staying alive, they are fighting. they are not going to surrender. in spite of all the difficulties they face and they will not go back any under any circumstances if you want. she lives right now you have comments are open. you can ask rory dana, maria, any question you want to know about what's happening in ukraine right now with the russian war in ukraine? rory morale. how would you describe morale? you've been in ukraine? is your 2nd tour of duty now? what's the difference? well, the difference this time compared to when i say before is this situation with electricity with heating and with water at the end of my, my last trip here. that was when the 1st of the kind of volleys of cruise missiles

came in and took out a big chunk of, of the energy grid. in the weeks after that, after i left, there will more and more and more the came and grant the over time ukraine's power systems were degraded to the point where much of the country was with living through big parts of each day. without access to heating, electricity, water, etc. and you know, that does take its toll, it is very, very hard for people hear you. so we're my report. valentina, he's living in metal cabin. she's living in the mental cabin because her home was destroyed at the beginning of the war. this cabin is where she now spends all the time at her lifeline, but it's just took up the grid. so when the power goes, as i said in my report, very quickly becomes an ice box. it's got problems with mildew,

as lots of these battle cabins do. if not a very nice way of living. there are other effects that this had. i was in a hospital the other day and we were filming with a 14 year old boy called david, who was in the middle of having his heart operated on when the power went down in the hospital because of the latest round of missile strike. he was very lucky to make it through their power banks. batteries that picked up and the doctors had a head torches on. so the carried on operating and he was okay. but this sort of thing is happening. i can provide you with some statistics. for example, in our or hospital where had like over 275 hours out of electricity for over the last 3 or 4 weeks. so you know, we had to change. busy we had to switch for alternative power

generator to actually keep the i see you to keep surgeries and to keep all the patients connected to the equipment they need. so it's quite challenging for hospitals, for ordinary people as well. you know, when elevators do not work and people with disabilities cannot get out of their homes even to buy some food or even to cook something as well as, you know, when the electricity is off, as a bio network is also down. so in case of the emergency, people cannot even call the ambulance. so it's not only about, you know, having your lights on or out. it's like completely, every part of your life is being influenced. so i'm the one,

i'm the one that just got a light at my home because when we were starting it was a bloody us actually wasn't. it was completely dark. we just could see a nose in her teeth. we couldn't see the rest and say thank you for that little bit electricity. we've got maria guy hands with alpha sized, very important question, a question and answer, why did draw shock tried to use this genocide, they'll act against ukrainian population and is the continue to target the infrastructure. they were expecting that people will be out on the streets being, you know, not taking it as, as a challenge b r. and i challenge for that and to say, well, let's start that piece, negotiation. it did not happen. so re put in again, miscalculated and we'll see this heroic doctors will see this operations rolling. we'll see a baby girl in the petrol station charging her special machine for breathing.

we see all this happening in the 21st century was the international community. we can definitely withstand and put in will never put us down on our knees because of this temporary energy crisis. but what i want to emphasize as well, this is breaking us to new understanding that altura energy. let me let, let me, let rory in here because you talked about a strategy that may be back firing rory, go at. well yeah, i'm, what i was saying this is that one of the biggest mistakes the kremlin has made not just this year, but going back at least to 2014 is this is to you soon as the misunderstand ukraine and ukrainians. they misunderstood it. when they thought that following the might on revolution, that they would be rebellion against that might revolution in the east of the country, pro russians would rise up and the revenue would only have to support that. it

didn't really happen. so basically, the permanent had to send in troops under cover clandestine troops to sort of make what was happening that looked like it was a civil war. they misunderstood ukrainians. again, in 2022 with the invasion when they thought that the country will be too passive to resist. and of course, as we've seen, if it wasn't passive resistance, military resistant, and if people have resistance. so i think again and again, the criminal has, has looked at ukraine and got the very wrong picture of what it really is. and at the moments, the criminal thinking that by bombing power stations power plants, it can break the will of the people that can set up a new way of refugees into europe. they couldn't perhaps change the mind of the politicians in european capitals and get them to try and push the government and give to the negotiating table with russia. yes, boss,

it doesn't seem to be working. there is no sign at the moment that they did having the desired effect on the point of view from them. interesting. yeah, exactly what i think as well because, you know, they actually know nothing about ukrainian spirit and ukrainian. we'll freedom and for democracy and for people they didn't now think about people that want to leave in a civilized country or, and to share the civilized world's values just like human rights and you know, just democracy, elections and so on. so they just completely, no, nothing about the civilized world world and the values we share. so and another reason i think is to make our economy more week because definitely affects the economy. business is her, have to have her next try. expenses are to actually get the they

alternative energy supplies and actually have to support people and everybody's cooperating. however, it actually really tough and hard times for businesses as well. okay, and i'm just going to share this with this comes from our audience. are watching right now in youtube, and karen hannon is asking, why is there no spokesperson from russia? he's hearing as ukrainians perspective. roy's perspective, no official russian perspective, we reached out and we try to include it in this program, but we were rebuffed. so that is why i'm going to just transition into the reality of what it's like down on the ground. and so earlier we spoke to anna molina who is at the key metro, and i just want you to get a little bit higher experience. because when you live somewhere where you've got electricity and power like this, and then you don't. what does that look like?

his anna olive only tucker. i hope there will be no massive destruction. but they waited until the temperature got to minus 5 minus 6 degrees celsius. until it got cold, but we have blanket sleeping bags, camping gas in the metro. i believe we will inter it even if they inflict some destruction today. thank you. sort of the wine where so earlier i was looking at president putin. he was speaking about being on the defensive. he was at russia's human rights cat. so i'm, i'm going to play what he said because i'm interested in how ukrainians and, and you couldn't politicians like you view it when the president putin makes announcements. mcguckie human rights. yes. that sounds very interesting. let's take a look. what's lou lou, but on our part, the can be only one response fighting consistently for our national interest. and

so we will be doing exactly this. nobody should ever count on anything else, but yes, we will be doing it using different means, primarily by peaceful means. but if we have nothing else left, we would defend ourselves using all available me and speaking to this. so please hear what i'm hearing as a human being. and this isn't me in a global citizen, not only ukrainian, we are the country, we are the aggressor. we are russian for duration, which will continue conducting war crimes. the crime of aggression which we conducted over the 2nd time in ukraine, but we did it and moved over georgia. either have gotten this and other countries who will continue killing civilians will, will continue to get an infrastructure we'll, we'll try to put down all the time. was the west to make the west and capable to react. and that's how we gonna impose our imperialistic sick understanding of how russia should enlarge itself to the previous borders of the ussr. that's how i hear

it. and those 2 sentences, colleagues, we have to understand how do we address the crime of aggression? because all those war crimes raping, killing 300000 missing children, being deported to the russian territory and temporary occupied territories. ukraine that will never have happened if not the crime of aggression. that's why we're tooling here in this see, go into new york. we've been to berlin, paris were collecting political support, which is barrows i did to address this crime progression in the special tribunal where put in and the top politicians and top people in the military who have conducted this crime will be responsible. this is the gap of accountability and international law. i cc. international criminal court cannot deal with that, but international community can and similar tenuously to our amazing military men and women, by the way, 58000 women are serving and yes, sir,

they us senate approved 800000000 financial support for our army will continue their fight in the battlefield, the fees and conditions, we have to take care about the law, accountability and us and believe us, there is no other person on this world apart from not only you crimes with every one needs to see the justice and action we, i want you to lead it, leadership started going to start with montana, and then i'm gonna gonna skid across to a rory the person of the year. the teens person of the year is your president. i'm just going to show you what that looks like here at this point where winter is like you're in winter right now. and just a few days ago this is will present, zalinski said about winter time trying to make ukrainians feel like they, they are ready for winter. you just have to keep going. this is what he said. what it does is, could you, i have him weekly enemy, very much hopes to use winter against us to make cold, winter,

and hardship part of his terror. we have to do everything to survive this winter, no matter how hard it is, stand up and we will stand to stand this winter is to stand everything. russia still has marseilles and an advantage in artillery. yes, but we have something that the occupier does not have and will not have. we protect our home, and that gives us the strongest motivation possible, banged in my inbox, and then it's been 10 months of war leadership from your president. how is he doing? how are you feeling right now as you're in winter? oh, well, what makes came of personnel the year is that here just represents the entire nation. our president actually represents the entire nation which is tending against the outrageous aggression, the military aggression. that was the, the biggest one from the time. so while we're 2nd, so i actually think that he's doing great with keeping

our spirit with was actually making us, i'm sorry, just jumping. ah, yes. so he's doing great with, with keeping our spirits resistant. and actually it's making us believe that we're going to stand up and not, not well, yeah, you can, you can make it. i'm just, i'm just thinking, going with me, spent so many years in moscow and reporting on, on about russia that maybe ukraine can also weaponized winter against russians. it could go both way, couldn't it? well, i think if we talking militarily, then the cold months, often a harder for invading armies than they are for defending armies. because for defend

the army, you're closer to your supply lines. you can go back to a sort of warm space and get something back in your toes. you can rely on the morale of the population behind you. russia should know this very well, because russia has actually benefited from this. in the past on the napoleon invading army came up against the russian windsor and didn't do very wells than the nazis invading the soviet union. in the 940 also came up against the russian. when hands fails on that front too. but this time, yeah, it's the russians who are doing the invading. and i've, it's difficult to say that the winter will defeat the russians. but certainly, the russians have problems in morale. they have problems in equipments,

they have problems in trainings, and these are all things that ukraine is doing pretty well at the moment. certainly in terms of morales, the equipment that has, is increasingly of nato quality. and the training has had recently, has been of nato quality as well, plus the initiative and this and the skills of the gradient ami shown that they have inherently themselves. so i think that the winter months from things we've seen in recently are not going well for the russians. i don't know if you've seen that the video is not the right present ones all across the tube and, and social media of russians. thing that can be filmed from drones, essentially flying over them in shallow trenches, all pits basically almost being completely unresponsive because they look like they've got hypothermia and they're not doing very well. it's all so, yeah,

they're, i think, militarily on how it looks at the moment that the russians are suffering to wins and more the credit. so i'll actually speaking about morale now, terrorist to not have any moral and getting back to what food is sad, you know, what's his national interest just to destroy everything around around the world and to challenge the global peace order. you know, so this is his interest, his personal interest, and that's what they consider of their national idea just to get everyone can leave, like, you know, leave like russians deal with now civilities. i was no civilized rule. i'm going to, i'm going to leave our conversation that it's so good to hear from you in clever. i'm roaring, clever. and maria actually right here in our stream studio to actually hear ukrainians talk about how they feel about the onset of winter and rushes war in
