and people also on the program, letting me put in, says the sprites were in response to an explosion, or the only bridge linking russia annex crimea peninsula, threatens further retaliation against you. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. ukraine has come under heavy fire missiles have struck cities nationwide, including the capital key, at least 11 people have been killed. russian president says this strikes are in response to an attack on a key bridge between russia and the annexed crimea peninsula, ukraine's president has accused russia of wanting to quote, wipe us from the face of the earth. that is wanting people to seek shelter. ah little black rock central keys during morning rush hour.

who should i live? a more civilian targets were struck in the barrage of strikes the 1st to hit the capital in months. but i will throbs muscles with you in the morning. we were woken up with his greeting from our neighbors in russia. you know, that you see all this here and across the entire city, almost through his yes. sure. or some horrible rel law fulton war. i am putting these as synonyms for more. we hope for our victory. include them, we're live with her. this is a tragedy, not just for civilians who are dying, but also for the military that are the all for the sake of a whim of one idiot who leads russia or c. u career. ukraine's president accused russia of trying to wipe his nation from the face of the earth. speaking on the streets of keys, he said the strikes were time to inflict maximum damage on it. bravo, bank,

you the one acquaint, panicking chaos not they want to destroy our energy system is made. the 2nd target is people we can overall, they deliberately chose such a time and such targets in order to cause as much harm as possible. but we are ukrainians. we help each other, we believe in ourselves. we will restore everything that was destroyed on several other cities far from the front lines were also rocked by explosions. zelinski says energy infrastructure across the country was targeted. in the western city of la viv electricity and hot water were cut by the black people across ukraine are now taking shelter as they brace for potential new phase in russia's war lock has been in fun. if a charm is in key funder alumni, i asked her what she witnessed there. i was basically starting my day to really

sunny october monday morning when i heard these explosions 1st i didn't know whether actually it's an explosion because it sounded like something else. but certainly the 2nd and the 3rd one was a huge bang. so what we did going to the scene as soon as we could. and what we found there was a lot of debris. our cars are that way, black because of the a shelley that happened there, a huge crater in the middle of the street. it's a road by the way, one of the main roads here that people use when they go to work. actually one of those rows that we have been frequently using as well in the past. so being there we, we are shocked ourselves. seeing they're seeing are all the emergency units trying to calm through what they see. they are trying to help a people. and as we are, they are at the scenery and we're trying to talk to our witnesses at that to a more explosions happen. so we also had to leave the scene and look for shelter. right now we're able to actually report again on camera and talk to you on camera

again because the air raid siren that was on for hours is off, doesn't mean that everything is carmen. save certainly not. in fact, of the ukrainian officials or, or warning people to stay in those shelters as long as possible today, because nobody really knows how these days going to unfold. now what's known about these, the types what is, know so far, according to your ukrainian information that more than 80 missile strikes hit towns across ukraine. and about half of them apparently have been intercepted beth, you're talking here about numbers. and if you look at the side, especially where we are at this morning, really just a block away from we are staying in this hotel. you see again, this fear is short and also this panic in the eyes of people. something that i remember from the beginning of the war when we were here on february 24th more, almost like a discovery of people backed up with yoga mats, try to go to a nearby shelter,

which is the metro station for most of the people. as far as the numbers are concerned, there's conflicting information just how many casualties they are when it comes to key of city. the latest that you've heard about 5 people who have been killed and at least 15 injured. but it's expected that this number is going to be corrected upwards, simply by looking at, at the destruction there at the main road and, and, and what is to come as a result when he comes to the number of injured people. and as i say, this is only key of city. they have been explosions in many parts of ukraine today . good. have you heard anything from the other parts of your grande other cities that have been, it actually have been just on the phone with our sources in leave, but also honey sky, which is in the center. if you kramer live, is on the western part of ukraine, they are describing, they have no running water, no electricity, no access to internet. and this actually reflects, well ukraine's president's identity has been saying that one target is civilians as

a, as an act of terrorism. really and another target is critical infrastructure, energy assistance. basically, every thing that can turn people into chaos and panic, not knowing what to do. and this is all happening right away at a time guard when a lot of people are coming back to ukraine. and in fact, i've been traveling on this overnight train from poland to ukraine last night, and there were so many mothers with the children, a longing to go back to kia, sit in other parts of ukraine, because they simply missed their home. so all of this is happening at a time where, especially people who live in bigger cities far away from the front lines, felt quite safe and, and, and according to the government, this is exactly what now a russia is trying to turn this feeling and rather say that russia is on the control of how this war is going to develop, and people are concerned. it's going to be worse fun for each other, reporting from keith. thank you. funny you,

chris president. william is lensky has spoken with the leaders of germany and france in the wake of the attacks and urge them to increase pressure on russia. he's also issued a video statement and forming ukrainians of the extent of strikes. here's a statement and full space ukrainian is ukrainians. this morning is tough, that we are dealing with terrorists dozens of miss isles. iranian showerheads that they have to targets energy facilities throughout the country. kia region on came in ascii, levine, and the ne pro vinitez here, wilma yvonne oh frank eaves, region separation on the sumi region, cocky region. see to me, region q of rod region, the site of the country or anything like that. no vall they want to panic and chaos though they want to destroy our energy system to live there incorrigible brain. the 2nd target is people the time when the targets were especially chosen to cause as much damage as possible, but we're ukrainians. we will help each other. we believe in ourselves. we will

restore everything that is destroyed. there may be temporary, par, i things know that, but there will never be an outage of our confidence or confidence is victory, will be there. why such strikes exactly. the enemy wants us to be afraid, wants to make people run, but we can only run forward and we demonstrate this on the battlefield and it will continue to be so in the rescuers are working now. our air defense system was working. 38 ariel targets have already been shot. dying enough. please stay in shelters to day. thanks for the help of our military. everything will be fine and always remember ukraine existed before this enemy appeared, and ukraine will exist after it. glory to ukraine level. local resident maria susan, siri jenko saw several of the strikes this morning and clear from earlier. she told me what it was like. so i was just 10 minutes before the priest rocket. i hit the, the key of the center because at least 10 minutes from the city center. and it was

around 8 something am when i heard the vessel and then the explosion. now, how did you react when, when the arrow sirens went off this morning? did you immediately go in and take shelter? i went to the shelter after i heard like some explosions already because i didn't and i hear the, the 1st before is alert. and maybe because it's been, i think, 3 or 4 months since that the license shall in here we are, citizens became a b class, you know, attentive to the race alerts. that's why i, when i heard the explosion itself in the whistle of the rocket, then i went to the shelter. the president zelinski said that the air strikes also a vital infrastructure, including power stations. did it anything next or to you,

or is it already probable that infrastructure was hit? yeah, i'll leave just 3 or 4 minutes walk from the power planter and when i wasn't the shelter for about one hour and a half, it was relatively quiet to me. then i decided to go to my bathroom to take some warm clothes because it was really cold. and then it heard this super big explosion, and that was the explosion of on the russian, the head, the thermal power plant. and also the business center, which is just 2 to 100 meters from my house. so both of them were hates and the whole as 3 was in the smoke. and then even my ears were really green and i ran immediately to the shelter. and it was really frightening to me to tell us about the mood in the city now that the, the war who as you see,

mentioned, has been absent from a key, if in a way, but now it's come back with a vengeance, not only to hear, but to other places as well, but when you, for example, when you were in the shelter this morning, you've been with other people there. what's, what's the mood like right now? and you've people really are not carried away because they really believe that it wants to change our strategy. and ukraine will win in any way. we all are heard our president who was actually talking to us this morning and people in the shelter if they started seeming ukrainian songs and even, you know, playing the piano when they had some musical instruments. so the mood is not really depressive. it's, it's not the case, but of course in kia but we've been without active shalean for quite a long time. that's why right now it was a very it was

a shock for everyone. i think that was ok. president maria sir jenko speaking to us earlier about the missile attacks. now kiera roodick is a member of ukraine, parliament and the leader of the opposition voice party. and i also, what message she thinks russia wants to send with these fresh strikes. the message is at despair when the crimea bridge was destroyed and it was illegally built military object, was used to deliver a deliver rockets and supplies from russian army. they decided to attack the ukrainian infrastructure to lin infrastructure and to kill ukrainians whenever the art. this is a message that is intended to internal auditory in russia. when put in a saying that no attack on the rush, i will go unpunished. but it also shows that there is nothing else that he can do.

and for us in ukraine, we only stay stronger, and it only allows us to say, give us more weapons, give us protection so we can stop brushing. this house, give us an ability to defend ourselves because you see what is going on today. put in and put ins, rocket attacked, and that can a children's playground. is it like it? is it something that even supposed to be happening in 21st century? and in 8 months, in this war, we have been begging for our life to close the sky, or give us the ability to close this price. and as of right now, the fact that we are still unable to protect ourselves from the attack from the air is, is just like a pity and shane and an ability for us to scream for help. please give us that jet, please give us an air force protection. please give us more by front so we can defend ourselves. we can protect our life. less of our with children. it was you can and p

k road. if speaking to me earlier, the world has condemned the russian stripes against civilian targets, the european union call them war crimes. russia isa opting for a tactics aiming, an indiscriminately bomb being the civilians. this is something which is intern against international humanitarian law. and these indiscriminate targeting of civilians and mounds to avoid crime. you foreign policy chief yourself, burrell said he was deeply shocked by russia's attacks on civilians in a treat. he said, such acts have no place in the 21st century. i condemned them in the strongest possible terms, and he promised additional moultrie support from the e. u is on its way the chinese foreign ministry called for de escalation

women, we have taken note of the relevant reports and we also hope that the situation can deescalate soon you k foreign minister, james cleverly tweeted, russia's firing of missiles into civilian areas of ukraine is unacceptable, he said he had been in touch with ukraine's foreign minister to pledge the you case, ongoing moral, unpractical support to ukraine. this is a demonstration of weakness by putin not strength, cleverly wrote well, let's have a look at some of the other developments related to the war, new crime. bella roofs is forming a joint unit with the russian army, their leader, alexander lucas sanker claims to have received intelligence that would be suggest the ukraine was planning to attack her better rouge territory. e commission, president of a funder line and the prime minister of estonia. kaya colors, say they back the formation of an international court and to investigate war crimes

committed in ukraine from the line is in the baltic nations capital city tollen. for a summit on digital corporation, referrals, convention, sodomy, goodness, confirm. but may have suspected that the strikes against ukrainian cities are in retaliation for the attack of the crimea bridge. the link between russia and the occupied peninsula was opened just 4 years ago as a flagship project for moscow. picking up the scraps at the sight of a bridge that stood as a symbol of moscow's illegal annexation of crimea. saturday's powerful blast caused the strategic bridge to partially collapse, disrupting travel. and what is the only direct link between russia and a crimea and peninsula? a cue of cars stretched 22 kilometers on monday. some passenger said they'd been waiting for up to 12 hours with them. it's scary,

but we have to go home. the bridge is now open for transport, but only to vehicles weighing less than $3.00 tons. vehicles wearing more will have to cross by ferry. russian president vladimir putin has blamed ukrainian secret service agents for the blast, calling it a terrorist act. he has vowed to rebuild the bridge military analyst, franklin, which told me why he fix putting ordered these strikes. the objectives of the russian attack was cut to attack them. murat morale of the civilian population is clearly failing. and that is what it means he's trying to attack the will of the defending ukrainians to under cut their motivation to fight further. and in this, as you heard before they are bound to fail. why exactly do you think that that is so what you heard from your previous 2 interlocutors. 2 reasons. first of all,

the resilience and 2nd, the anger. but from a military perspective, we can also look at history. so every campaign that was designed to attack civilian morale, so called strategic bombing, has failed be that germany in the 2nd world war b, vietnam in the viet, not that vietnam war because of the, i should say, in the cost, the cost of a war. and so for the one example, sometimes rate is a laptop by the way, led by the jet st generals who are leading this brutal war where some success was achieved. but because there they weren't fighting the mass forces of an extremely capable of military power that have shown themselves capable, willing and able to defeat russian forces in the field repeatedly. now, what do you think are you crying and its allies should do non response?

well here that was talking about defenses, and i think what we're going to see over the next week or 2 is an uptake in that particular military capability. and specifically, i think what you're going to be looking at american region, nissan. now there are some already on the way it may be deployed, but more importantly, patriot system problem, there is the one that will have what they deployed will take some time. they will have the effect that they have to shoot down south today. most of that got through, so i think that's what we're going to be needing. that's what the best to be asked for. lots of yes or no flies and consideration given i spoke to the refuse. now the russian attacks on critical infrastructure are designed to fix serious pain on ukrainian citizens targeting the energy supply, heating head of the winter. what do you think? why do you think this strategy will actually fail? as you mentioned earlier, because history history demonstrates it well, you know, whether it's of the blit spirit that we see today in ukrainian shelters where

people are singing. the national anthem will sing national songs are keeping their spirits up and combine. not with the anger and determination writ of this country, and the people that's put up with brutal aggression successfully for the last 8 months. that's not something that's going to be depleted by a tatic playgrounds universities or glass bridges. and by the way, failing to hit to hit the latter had to quickly with a half a 1000000 pound precision guided bomb tells you something about gun come straight to come to a literally come without being flipping for them to answer your question directly. what this does is increase resilience, your population, reduce it around. i was frank lab, which there thank you for joan to answer. all of shots spoke to vladimir zalinski today following the attacks. and he told zalinski germany will do everything in its power to mobilize additional aid to ukraine and restore damaged infrastructure.

renewed calls to speed up delivery of the german air defense system. defense minister, christina lumber has set berlin will quickly deliver the 1st 4 so called iris t systems, but they have not yet been sent. lovelace has condemned the russian miss ellen drawn at earlier i spoke to a hub in the wagner. he is a member of parliament for the green party, and i asked him about germany's repeated promises to deliver and added fence system to cave was actually confirming the system. we made the problem that we said that it will take some time to look at it. but what we definitely need to do is react strongly on the in the now which are born out of lighting and put in with fading with his criminal aggression in ukraine. and we definitely need to support ukraine . even stronger need to take leadership role in europe in union and a partner with mark. but also with more main better tang and i'm not

public areas in order to be able to liberate talking about for months and months and months of what west a hold up. well actually we have said that we will deliver addison's and we said that it will take some time, but definitely we need to increase the effort to deliver any bands. but in addition to that, it's not only added fans, it's also crowned support. and we should take your leadership role, i sla government to take out the new role in european union in the trans atlantic community and make a step in the community to deliver modern western tanks and more in total for ukraine. and because that is what is making a difference, what we see now is the action of futons criminal mind reacting to his failing warfare that he's doing. he's failing because of the support that we have done it because of the bravery of christ. but we must not let him created terror that he's

trying to spread in civilian population. so we need to defend nation and have ukraine liberate that territory because that is the only way to stop walk right now . russia also seems to attack critical infrastructure more often, not only in ukraine today. we're bother so far unexplained power outages on the danger born home. there was a recent act of sabotage on the german railway system, still unexplained. just 2 weeks after sabotage the tax on a been allstream gas pipeline. does germany, does europe have to prepare for more acts like this? we are in a constant aggression of totally terry and totalitarian jasmine against democracy that we're seeing here. we don't know yet the exact cause of what's going on in bonham of what was happening with the german railway, the sabotage. but what we know is that we had political murder in germany that we have the civilization campaigns that we have cyber attacks going on. so it is

a constant attack that is going on here, and that is also something that we need to take into our calculation when we respond to russian, a war, emulation ukraine. we have to stop russia in ukraine also for our own safety and germany. so what, what is germany currently doing to, to guarantee, let's say the safety of critical infrastructure where we are, we are working on plans, how to better support us in critical infrastructure, what we have, and that is the problem. we had 60 years of leadership, conservative party in germany, and we see that we are not very good in account espionage. and that we are not very good in protecting the civilian infrastructure that we are not very good in defending against cyber attacks. and we will have heritage from our conservative party after 16 years. thank you very much. robin wagner, there from the green party. he bought cindy w news as a reminder,
