great to see you tell us what you witnessed this morning. i was getting ready for the day when i heard the 1st explosions. and 1st i didn't even attribute to explosions just later on. and i called my colleagues right away who were on the way to the office to find out what they offered to confirm, but i'm actually right because it was just so unusual. in fact, the last time i've heard such a big band was in february 24th when the fullest can invasion of russia started. but then of course we a journalist to what do we do? we want to find out what exactly has happened. so we rushed to the scene where he sold burn cars. really, really, if you looked at those cars, you could hardly imagine that anybody has gotten alive from those called racks. also we have seen a huge crater in the middle of this road, which is quite frequented, especially during russia also by aust pretty much every day because it's in the city center and what i've seamless. chaos people panicking at the same time trying to understand were they should go word, do you actually feel safe and protected?

and while i was trying to find out via an eye witness and what exactly he has experienced, we heard more explosions. so everyone was i try to look for a shelter, literally running for the live saudi. do we? and it pretty much if you are now looking around and key of city the streets are quite empty. a people are inside and they are actually called on by the government and government officials to stay inside today. in fact, right now, also there's an air raid, the active air raid alert, which means you have to stay in the shelters, which of course we're also going to do a shortly after this terrifying, still funny and i'm glad you're okay. so what, what's known about these attacks, what is known, factually that these may a cruise missile stat keefe city. i was struck by a but also zalinski, a presidency. lensky mentioned the so called a comcast drones, which are basically a drones that drop on a specific target and injure whatever the target is. and when it comes to the

injuries, when you look at those targets to date and these were civilians, again who had to bear the brunt of for something that is really a very brutal attack on key of city. as i say, something that the city hasn't witness for quite a while and people are really worried just what is next. what else? russia president putting it has planned as he's saying he wants to retaliate, and he's seeking revenge for the fact that the crimea bridge or was hit over the weekend. something that he accuses ukraine for funny. it's not just in cave and be seen these images from today. multiple cities of sites have been hand across the country. tell us more exactly about h t, missa cruise missile attacks. that after all the, the official number that the government is working with. 80 missile attacks here

across ukraine. half of them are on 40 building to septic, but regardless, as various infrastructure has been hit across the country via talking about towns likely v. for example, in the western part of ukraine or having its skin, the center really towns a bit relatively spade from attacks. but also of course upper asia city that's been shout heavily over the course of this war, especially during the past couple of days has experienced attacks. again in su me, which is a neighboring a russia. so attacks all across a ukraine that really appears to be an orchestrated attack, a by russia over the entire country. but also when you call, if you look at the targets, it's not just civilian infrastructure. also it's very much civilian a, sorry, infrastructure that is needed like power a water, and that's been hit that energy infrastructure. so it's not just the fact that a people are scared to go outside, but once you're inside your building, you're trying to figure out, okay, what's next? how am i going to get electricity for the for to day?

how am i going to get access to the very basics, for example, as internet, to be able to keep in touch with your colleagues or your friends trying to come up with an emergency plan? because as i say, no way to really know is just what's next. truly dreadful. thanks. have funny did abuse. funny for sure. in cave art. well, let's go across now to arisia luca, she's a ukrainian journalist, to witness to strike in the western city of la v. for tisha, thanks for joining us here on d. w. and glad to see that you're safe. tell us what you saw this morning. well, just wanted to actually walk up to the slow explosion. and as it was, they came to go into the shelter. so we took to, we looked for the window and so my husband and i saw some small fall into the direction of the fitness center. and i can be hook monmouth, and in the shelter shelter in the church. the church and around like

100 people or less. but one of the hopes and really bubble, powerful extension because as l tricity infrastructure facility which was hit, it's actually located in our district just less than one kilometer off and more and more people arrived. and we heard one more rooted building now, even before we were in the basement, it was really huge. involved. and in 2 hours. so over 300 people in the shelter much from what i experience everyone was go and spoke, but it's like more than papa. yeah. into the war and people adopted no. and a lot of children 1st that goes to school is just across this church and really little children like their primary school by there are children,

read so many of them crying. somebody just plain. so it's really like every person says different directions, right, but, but also an interest, incredibly scary stuff. now the regional governor there in libya, i said that energy infrastructure was hit to how badly has the city been effective? i guess this energy infrastructure, which is in my district in the leg the board which will pay them off and the small was really big and it was all over the sky. and there are very still not just in the day. and that's why my husband and i moved to the bullets near by that goes, there is no like no hot water as well. and it was not your body. it was the city to communicate for president all the time until that works

continued. because the last time i went to simulate sedation in hawkins, it was about in half a day. so fills it in. there was a gates of g called corps, that it will return, but sometimes often hard. it took all for several days to rebut. so we don't know what to expect, and i have to say the landscape kind of told about this. could have happened, something happens as early as in august that electricity is facility based on the target of fresh military. and what seems to be done, press the solid check and some ripples of your grand intelligence. and this was actually plant time ago. it's, it's not right ranch for me and bridge as many assume or i we're gonna leave it there. ukrainian jury journalist arethia luca in levine.

thank you. i do take care while ukrainian president of all other mirror zalinski has asked the leaders of germany and france to step up the pressure on russia. he's also urging his people to stand firm being ukrainian ukrainians or this morning is tough that we're dealing with terrorists. dozens of miss isles iranians sha heads that they have to targets. energy facilities throughout the country. keep region uncommon, ascii levine and in the pro vinitez here. woman yvonne oh frank eaves, region separation on the sumi region, cocky region. see to me region q of rod region, the south of the country when we can navarro. they want to panic and chaos though they want to destroy our energy system where they are incorrigible again. 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, or things know that, but there will never be an outage of our confidence. our confidence is victory will be why so 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 noise. our air defense system was working. 38 aerial targets have already been shot dying in us. 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. jury to ukraine level. i'm join i by vitale came, he's the regional governor of me clive in south eastern ukraine. thanks for joining us here on d w. so tell us how badly has your region been hit by today's strikes? hello everybody. you know, for the luck, our region wasn't hits to

a heart. today, we have to miss that back in the night. everybody is okay. we have no victims and 1000 have in region in region. but in the got our military forces strike heated 14 tiles on the, on the terrace, on the glass region. so not so bad, but the comparing needs to this 7 months or so before it. so or today it is ok because our infrastructure is not damaged. our people is not killed in our region, so it's ok. well, vladimir putin says the strikes are retaliation for the weekend, bombing of the curse bridge to crimea. but in fact, actually the ukrainian military intelligence is saying that they were planned beforehand. what's your reaction to that?

i think that they said, becky, this is demonstration of weakness of russian army because then they still that they're losing their position and losing their position, not on the battlefield, but in the whole world. so there is demonstration of weakness their color. they're taken civilian people and critical infrastructure before the winter. so i think it's not a revenge, but it's just immigration. and now he's also threatened a harsh response to further ukrainian attacks. how worried are you about the nuclear threat from russia? you know, he's losing. so he need to say, samson. well, me personally and not worry about the situation. it is best for our infrastructure and civilian people because they moleck, our intelligence says they were blinded before. and they had such

a plan many months ago, but they realized and started to plan the planet directly in the beginning of the month. so we have prepared for any any situation you granted united very much for now we have the best president and we have no right to step back. so again, it's pretty tough so tough. so we're not worried. well, since saturday russia has a new commander for its operation in ukraine. how do you think that'll affect russia's military tactics? once again, the what new commander thurmond's at the new commander said, gay, pseudo pseudo of the king. i don't think that it will effect any no way. it will affect our situation of the battlefield because they change already. many commanders in different directions. i think it will change nothing because the russian army is very corrupt and the week and they have

no motivation. they're, they're ok bye and so they're fight and on the land of neighborhood conscious. so they ration started to realize that they had no purpose, no goals in ukraine. so it will change nothing. in my opinion. vitale came the regional governor of make alive. thank you for joining us on d. w. you're welcome. while the world has condemned the russian strikes against civilian targets, the european union call them war crimes. russia isa opting for a tactics. aiming, an indiscriminately bone being the civilians. this is something which is intern against international humanitarian law. and these in this community targeting of civilians and mounds to avoid crime you foreign policy

chief usa, 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. we have taken note of the relevant reports and we also hope that the situation can deescalate soon you k foreign minister james cheverly 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. while the german defense minister, christina lam, pressure has said that germany will deliver the 1st of 4 at iris

t. s l m. air defense systems to ukraine within days. the renewed miss, i'll fire on cave and many other cities shows how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems. quickly let us bring in our political correspondent, julius, our deli who's here in berlin. hi julia. good to see. so tell us more about those air defense systems. germany has promised ukraine. can they actually shoot down missiles like the ones that hit you grain today? it is germany's most modern and most expensive air defense system. now, it isn't with germany's military. germany's army with the boone, this v i'd had to be produced specifically now for ukraine. that is why, even though the defense system was promised all the way back in june, is only now being delivered the 1st 4 in the next few days. the other 3 are expected to come gradually over the next year. and this is a system that can shoot down missiles and cat has

a range of up to 40 kilometers in distance and 20 kilometers in height. and we've heard from german chancellor, all of shots that it can protect entire important cities. so we can assume that it could have played a role in the attack in ukraine today. but looking also at the words coming from germany's defense minister that we just heard, that the attack today show that it is important to quickly deliver these defense system. it appears clear that they are sorely needed in ukraine at the moment that julia chancellor schoultz has already spoken to president zalinski. what can you tell us about the cool? yeah, the call happened shortly after the attacks and we heard both from zalinski and from the germans side, that what was discussed is, was that all of shawls expressed germany solidarity with ukraine and strongly condemned russia's attack against a different ukrainian cities. a zalinski of the ukrainian presidents also made

clear that he will take part in a meeting tomorrow. 1 of the g 7, a virtual meeting that was called to day urgently, and that he will there outline rushes, behavior, rushes attack today against ukraine, and it is expected that ukraine will again push for more deliveries of happy heavy weapons from western countries. and germany has said they are prepared to support further weapon deliveries, but also aid to help rebuild the destroyed infrastructure in today's attack. thank you. julia julia. so deli, took, your political correspondent, welfare putin has confirmed what many suspected that the strikes against ukrainian cities are in retaliation for the attack on the crimea bridge. and the link between russia and the occupied peninsula was opened just 4 years ago as a flag shipped. proctor 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 a strategic bridge to partially collapse, disrupting travel. and what is the only direct link between russia and a crimea peninsula? a cue of cars stretched 22 kilometers on monday. some passenger said they'd been waiting for up to 12 hours. them. it's scary that we have to go home. the bridge is now open for transport, but only 2 vehicles weighing less than $3.00 tons. vehicles wearing more will have to cross by ferry brushing president vladimir putin has blamed ukrainian secret service agents for the blast. calling it a terrorist act. he has vowed to rebuild the bridge. well that's how can i to military analyst frank lead, which he is a visiting fellow at the key transatlantic dialogue center and

a former military intelligence officer. he joined us from oxford. i good to see you . now. vladimir putin says today, strikes are retaliation for the kirsch bridge bombing at the weekend, but ukrainian military intelligence says that they were actually planned beforehand in response to russia's battlefield failures. what more can you tell us on that topic? yes, but that does make sense. there were a t strikes launched today according to the crated military of which about half were shot down. that's a pretty, pretty significant target set to circle that would have taken quite a bit of planning to put that coordinated into i was, it was coordinated assault together. so that's not something i think would have been planned or run up yesterday. what this is speculation, what might have happened is with the new commander that you spoke of earlier, sort of sort of a lot of the order may have come from him to deliver that attack today occasion by

the bridge. but i'm fairly certain that the attack would have been planned and staffed long before that. right. frank? now vladimir putin is threatening a harsh response to more ukrainian attacks. what, what do you think he's trying to achieve with that message? well, that's very clear. this is an old and tested and failed military strategic instrument morale bombing, british tried against germany. we tried it against the bridge, and americans started against serbia. and many times in between, it just doesn't work. the russians would really know better since leningrad was the longest, and that you see in history in there either. and it's certainly not going to work here. a friend of mine in care texted me this morning, a good friend. and she said that the only emotion is cold fury and determination to put $210.00 in the same place. we put the musk and his bridge

. look how the russian mite has diminished. and that kind of response is what you're going to get. what you've heard all day from your correspondence in here. and that's why frank does this look like. vladimir putin is seeing how desperate things are you crying for the russian military. and it's essentially the acts of a desperate man. yes, the russian military company is clearly failing and they are flailing for a response. the ramshackle forces in the south which have been cut to pieces by the ukrainians over the last 6 or 7 months, are finding it extremely difficult to hold back. a credit in advance is particularly in the curse on region and towards another cocker. it's a very important place that's where the can now to the crimea, stars that they make and they only response they have is this attack on civilians are rather desperate attempts to undermine morale. it's going to do the

reverse. how should ukraine and its allies respond to this threat? well, the 1st thing that needs to be done is what's being done. the iris t system will define key f for, for the next few months. but it's very clear that help to you quite needs to be wrapped up, is to be stepped up to the next level. i think it this matter has been taken less than seriously. i think of the last 6 or 7 months. you create needs to be given the material to witness on the battlefield quickly. and for that we need the united states to step up with entire systems at defense and ground systems, not terms of military vehicles or systems, but hundreds. so that perhaps before the winter, but certainly next year, we can finish this on the battlefield and preferably with a regime change at the end of it, or during over 4, preferably military analyst franklin, which thank you for joining us on the w. thank you very much. here's

a reminder of the new story we've been following for you. dozens of russia miss isles have here to ukrainian cities, including the capital keith, at least 11 people have been killed. vladimir putin says the strikes are retaliation for the attack on a key bridge between russia on the occupied crimean peninsula. but that's all for now empty w news, asia, which i read read is coming open next. and there is more news at the top of the next hour. and of course you can follow us on our social media can. so you can check in to our website. do you talk about any s from the team here in britain? see again at the top, the next are with
