7:24 pm
as i say, not willing to given it was that higher pay will only raise inflation further itself already eating into the pay packets of ordinary workers and in an apparent effort to win around public support. away from the strike because the government wants the high of, hey, will have to be paid for with higher taxes. another wave of russia attack says it ukraine's capital key. the military administration says it's shot down 15 drones on monday morning. ukraine has been rushing to restore power to cities after russian strikes destroyed parts of the energy grid, and the tax are plunged much of the country into darkness during freezing winter temperatures. charles stratford, how's the latest from keith? to this comes only a couple of days after one of the biggest attacks on the guy little city, those attacks using missiles. and we know the kind of pressures at the authorities under, in trying to restore electricity across the country to areas was effected. the
7:25 pm
men of the ukrainian capital kiev has come out in the last hour or so and said that there is own going work trying to, to saw this critical infrastructure. we understand that one of the main targets was actually targeted last week as well. that's one of these sub stations is so important for the supply of electricity and heat. the president zalinski last night said that an additional $3000000.00 homes had had electricity and heat restored to them since those attacks on friday. yes, this just another example of just how vulnerable ukraine and the capital city in particular is and how the russian seemingly can target these areas at will. but also an indication so far at least of just how effective this missile defense systems are that ukrainians have. but of course, they are continuously asking for more defensive systems because of course,
