5:34 pm
months, you'd 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 in commercial culture, 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 hurt. the electricity was off from one until 9 pm johnny stream. today we have raleigh hat. we have my la dana norris. i have maria, get, have all 3 of you rivers being, i mean you ask your expertise, roy, please say hello to our audience around the world. they, i know they know your reports and remind them who you are and what you do. yes, i am her al jazeera correspondent, i have been many, many years or for
5:35 pm
a good number of those years i was out in moscow, has upstairs 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'll see a lot of what happened in the autumn campaign of this war. i got back in just a moment while again, as i got to handle, please introduce yourself to our 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 over kia and key origin b. and my husband is sort of in,
5:36 pm
in the ukranian army. so is currently located in the lead region. thank you for joining us in maria. welcome to the stream. welcome to the stream. students. if you don't have you here in person, please say hello to our audience around the world. hello friends. my name is maria m, as in to the member of ukrainian parliament, represent in the city of har, kiff, i'm also deputy head of european, the aggression 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. amazing winter. what does that mean for ukrainians? all this events which we are currently living on daily basis is definitely an energy genocide. these 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
5:37 pm
a day ago was 70 rockets will launched across different regions of ukraine, specifically targeting energy infrastructure, critical infrastructure. as you bribe, you said to leave the, the population about electricity, heating, etc, 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 to the all of them with the right people are very courageous as that very lady in the video of the far for it. there are so many millions of people like that who are staying and 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 our expecting any broads and waves of tempered relocated persons with don't think so because we are receiving the help from international community in terms of read the 3rd generators to keep the
5:38 pm
systems going. of course, we've expected this targets of critical infrastructure even in summer we were trying to prepare ourselves for that. but you can't be prepared to witness and terrorism on daily basis. and that's why you can't 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. yes. just find out how big like where you are. yeah. monday guy. yeah, yeah. i just want to confirm that, you know, is, is like the largest terroristic attack ever experienced in the history when you got a 40000000 country being terrorized on the daily basis by another country. so i'm just completely agree with maria, montana. when you talk about your husband serving in ukrainian army, you rode your eyes. i don't even know if you noticed that you did it. but my, me,
5:39 pm
i, i can imagine why why you would do that, but it must be a huge drain to have a family member serving one place and you working in another place. what do you know about the conditions that he is serving in that he's working in? because if you're losing power inclusive, 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 stones 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 is getting below 0. so it's
5:40 pm
kind of challenging and it's an additional challenge. however, they are staying alive. they are fighting, they are 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. i you chief comments are open. you can ask rory medina, 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? he's been in ukraine is your 2nd tour of duty now? what's the difference? was a difference or this time compared to the when i was here before? is this situation with electricity with heating and with water at the end of my last trip here, that was when the 1st of the kind of volleys of,
5:41 pm
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 were more and more and more of the came and grant the over time ukraine's power systems were degraded to the point where much of the country was, was living for through big parts of each day. without access to heating, electricity, water, et cetera, and that does take its toll. it, it is very, very hard for people here. now, you saw my report there, valentina, he's living in her metal cabin. she's living in a metal cabin because her home was destroyed at the beginning of the war. this cabin is where she now spends her time at her lifeline, but it's just hooked up to the grid. so when the power goes, as i said, my report there, it quickly becomes an ice box. it's got problems with, you know,
5:42 pm
mil to you as lots of these metal cabins do is not a very nice way of living. there are other effects that this is 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 strikes. he was very lucky to make it through. there were 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, and i do it. this takes, 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
5:43 pm
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 can not 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 the 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,
5:44 pm
i'm the one that just got a light at my home because when we were starting it was a black here actually wasn't. it was completely dark. we just could see a nose in her teeth. we couldn't see the rest say. so thank you for that little bit electricity. we've got maria guy hands with alpha sized, very important question, a question and answer why the draw tried to use this genocide, they'll act against ukrainian population and the continued 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 is calculated and we see this heroic doctors. we see this operations rolling. we'll see a baby girl in the petrol station charging her special machine for breathing.
5:45 pm
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 fan pre 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. roy, go ahead. well yeah i'm, what i was on this is that one of the biggest mistakes that the kremlin has made over, not just this year, but going back or at least a 2014 is this is to use. here's the misunderstand ukraine and ukrainians. they misunderstood it when they thoughts that are following the might on revolution, that there would be a rebellion against the might and revolution in the east of the country, pro russians would rise up and that the criminal would only have to support that. it didn't really happen. so basically the criminal had to send in truce undercover
5:46 pm
clandestine troops suit to so make what was happening there. looked like it was a civil war. they misunderstood ukrainians. again, in 2022 with the invasion when they thought that the country be too passive to resist her. and of course, as we've seen it, it wasn't too passive to resist its military resistance. and as people have resisted, so i think again and again the kremlin has, has looked at ukraine and got the very wrong picture of what it really is. and at the moments the kremlin is thinking there by bombing power stations power plants, it can break the will of the people can set off a new wave of, of refugees into europe. picken perhaps change the mind of politicians in european capitals and get them to try and push the governments and give it to the negotiating table with russia. but it doesn't seem to be working. there is no sign
5:47 pm
at the moment that they did having the desired effect on the point of view of the kremlin inter phone. yes, exactly what i think as well. okay. and, you know, and they actually know nothing about ukrainian period to end ukrainian. we'll freedom and for democracy in for people. and they didn't now think about people that one to leave in a civilized country 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 now 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 so the economy, businesses have to have her next try expenses to, to actually get the,
5:48 pm
the 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, so i, i'm just going to share this with, this comes from our audience. are watching right now and 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?
5:49 pm
his ana, i'll live only that good. i hope there will be no massive destruction, but they waited until the temperature got to minus 5 minus 6 degrees celsius into like our 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. so don't know why. 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 going to play what he said because i'm interested in how ukrainians and m, you couldn't politicians like you view it when president putin makes announcements . mcguckie human rights. yes, that sounds very interesting. so let's take a look. let's leave it a little bit on our part. the can be only one response fighting consistently for our national interest. and so we will be doing exactly that. nobody should ever count on anything else, but yes, we will be doing it using different means,
5:50 pm
primarily by peaceful means. but if we have nothing else left, we would defend ourselves using all available me and stacy harrison. so please hear what i'm hearing as a human being and a politician as being as a global citizen, not only ukrainian, we are the country, we are the aggressor. we are russian federation, which will continue conduct in war crimes. the crime of aggression which we conducted already, 2nd time in ukraine, but we did it in moldova, georgia. siri have guns and other countries who will continue kill and civilians will, will continue or target in infrastructure. we'll, we'll try to put down all the ties 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 the large itself to the previous borders of the usa. 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
5:51 pm
war crimes raping killings, 300000 mison children's 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 touring here in this see, go into new york. we've been to burly in paris. we're collecting, political so worth which is barrel ready to address this crime of aggression in the special tribunal where put in and the top politicians and talk to people in the military who have conducted this crime will be responsible. this is the gap of accountability and international law i. c. c. international criminal court can not deal with that, but the international community can and similar tenuously to our amazing military men and women by the way of 58000 women are serving. and yesterday, us senate approved 800000000 financial support for our army will continue their
5:52 pm
fight in the battle field. i'm here the freezing conditions. we have to take care about the law, accountability and justice. and believe us, there is no other person on this world apart from not only you crimes, but everyone needs to see the justice and action where i want you to lead it leadership style. who's going to start with medina and then i'm gonna get screwed across to rory the person of the year, the times 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 . just a few days ago. this is what presence lensky 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 put you, i assume the 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,
5:53 pm
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 in, in my, in them. and then it's been 10 months of more leadership from your president. how is he doing? how are you feeling right now as you're in winter? oh, well, what makes him a person of 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 with the biggest one from the time. so walter, a 2nd. so i, i actually, i think that i, he is doing great with keeping our spirit with actually making us.
5:54 pm
i'm sorry, my cad just jumped in. ah, yes. so he learned great where i was skipping hours period resistant and actually making us believe that we're gonna stand up and, and not not when you go with him. yeah. you can, you can make it. i'm just, i'm just thinking going for it. he spent so many, many years in moscow and reporting on and about russia, that maybe ukraine can also weaponized winter against russians. they could go both ways. could net. i think if we're talking militarily then that the colder months often are harder for invading armies than they are for defending armies. because for a defending army,
5:55 pm
you're closer to your supply lines. and you can go back to a sort of warm space and get some feeling back in your toes, or 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, obviously, her napoleon is in bailey army, came up against the russian windsor and didn't do very wells than the nazis invading the soviet union in the 1940 is also came up against the russian windsor ands fails on that front too. but this time, you know, it's the russians who are doing the invading. and i've, yeah, it's, 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 training. and these are all things that ukraine is doing pretty well at
5:56 pm
the moment, certainly in terms of morale, the equipment that has, is increasingly of nato quality. and the training it has had recently has been of nato quality as well. plus, you know, the, the initiative and the skills of the ukranian army 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. he would say, i don't know if you've seen those videos, not very pleasant ones all across youtube and, and social media of russians being you know, that and being their films from drones, essentially flying over the 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, there, i think militarily on how it looks at the moment that the russians are suffering,
5:57 pm
the winds and more the credit. so i'll, and actually it was speaking about morale, you know, terrorist to not have any morale. and i'm getting back to what buddhist said, you know, what's his national interest just to destroy everything around around the world and to challenge the global piece 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 quote russians deal with now. civilization 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 and rory and clever. and maria actually right here in asterisk studio to actually hear ukrainians talk about how they feel about the onset of winter and rushes war in ukraine. thank you for what i feel you 2 comments as well in view as i
5:58 pm
really appreciate you. i will see you next time. thanks for watching. ah. i all ready for the 1300000 football fan. i think that this is only the beginning. that equity always going to keep moving forward with make or break the moment percent go back to being forgiven for thinking that sounds great. right. well, happy trend fair. i can tell you about, i said, don't discount australia because they're going to come out fighting and fighting at the end of an incredible dramatic game idea of england. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
5:59 pm
whoa, whoa, whoa, talk. what is, what did i write buried on time bony test of is move in. if it's that don't come up. you say things like a 247 maternity, 9 joining folks at the number one medical aid for south africa. when much day arrives, the green army comes to life, but football is not all they shout about a club west societies disenfranchised, have the loudest voice. and political dissent takes center stage. they are morocco's resistance. beatrice of roger casa blanca. the finds who make football on al jazeera. there was a time to be direct. there is
6:00 pm
a growing realization that rights can be taken away in this country to cut through the rhetoric. how can we resist this narrative and dangers and demand the truth? join me, mark them on hill for up front. what out there blue ah. ready this is al jazeera. ah, you're watching the news. our live from a headquarters in south. i'm sorry, navigator. coming up in the next 60 minutes, ukraine's president on the front line. voluntary zalinski visits, troops and back moved to town, almost destroyed in the fighting. the u. k. is winter of discontent. nurses walk off the job again over low pay on patient safety.
