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 number all 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 all and several other cities far from the front lines were also rocked by explosions. zalinski says energy infrastructure across the country was targeted. in the western city of live electricity and hot water were cut by the black people across ukraine are now taking shelter as they brace for a potential new phase in russia's war. while earlier i asked our correspondent in key funding for shar what she 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 the effort 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 full scale invasion of russia started. but then of course, we are journalists to what do we do? you 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 rush hour, also by us 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 where they should go were. do you actually feel safe and protected?

and while i was trying to find out via an eye witness a, what exactly he has experienced, we heard more explosions. so everyone was try to look for a shelter literally running for the lives 30 to we and it pretty much if you are now looking around and he of city the streets are quite empty. a people are inside and they are actually call them by the government and, and government officials to stay inside today. in fact, right now, also there's an air raid active air read 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 way a cruise missile stat keefe city. i was struck by a but also zalinski, a presidency. lensky mentioned the so called a comcast. the drones are 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, as president putin 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 and 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. miss sila taxi 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 him in it's in 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 and you kind of really appears to be an orchestrated attack, a by, 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, nobody really knows just what's next. truly dreadful. thanks, have funny deed abuse. funny fisher in cave ukrainian president vladimir 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 grained him green, ukrainian ukrainians. this morning is tough, that we are dealing with terrorists, dozens of miss isles. iranian showerheads, he met, they have 2 targets. energy facilities throughout the country. kia region, uncommon ascii levine, and the ne pro, the need settlement, yvonne oh, franky region, saperry sher on the, do me region khaki region. see to me, region q of rod region, the site of the country when we can overall they want panic and chaos is of they

want to destroy our energy system to live their incorrigible brain. the 2nd target is people the time when the targets were especially chosen to cause as much damage as possible, but we are ukrainians, we will help each other. we believe in ourselves, we will restore everything that is destroyed. there may be temporary par outings, no, but there will never be an outage of our confidence or confidence as victory will be. 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 noise. our air defense system was working 38 ariel targets have already been shot, dying, not least, a, and 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. george ukraine. well, well, i spoke to vitale came the governor of mc alive in south eastern ukraine,

and i asked him how badly his region has been hit by the strikes. hello everybody and you know, for the luck, our region wasn't hits to heart. today we have 10 missiles effect in the night. everybody gave that we have no victims and one we 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 of this effective, this is denise duration of the weakness of russian army, because then there's still that they're losing their position and losing their position not on the battlefield, but in the whole world. so they had demonstration of weakness their color, their tech and civilian people and critical infrastructure before the winter. so i think it's not a revenge, but it's just the migration of women. 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, not worried 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 blind planted directly in the beginning of the month. so we have prepared for any any situation. the grant is united very much for now. we have the best president and we have no right to send them back. so again, it's pretty tough, so tough. so we are not worried. well, since saturday russia has a new commander for its operation in ukraine. how do you think that will affect russia's military tactics? once again, 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 effect our situation, 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 had no motivation there. they occupied their 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 can be regional governor of make alive. thank you for joining us on d. w, you welcome and the russian capital moscow, the reaction to the strikes across ukraine has been mixed. it's an answer to terrorist who destroyed the bridge. it was civilian infrastructure is no mercy for terrorist. no, it's not right. you can't won't be split. second beat me and make it longer, our patient has limits the crime in bridges, russian infrastructure and ukrainians also have that kind of infrastructure which

is also, i feel very thought that innocent people are dying, they don't. but if they are sufficient strike such, then it's all right, miss regina. well, we should have done it so no, because it's an answer to aggression. i don't know. it's a military question. you need to ask them. we follow what's going on, but don't understand what's happening with your mind. all right, let's talk an hour to dw russia analyst konstantin, angered for more. he's in the nath waiting capital vilnius constantine, great to see. so clearly defied ada opinions there. how do you think the last few days of affected support for the war at within russia? well, i don't think you can speak about support, so decrease and supports. ah, as such short notice. one thing for sure is that's a when pu tune announced a partial mobilization, which turns out to be, i think, pretty much general on the 21st of september he brought this war into the russians

living groups before that that was just war on television or in the evening, now it is going to affect more and more people over time. so the crimea bridge, that was, of course, a very, a very, very significant bure stanford grain. but, you know, as, as you see from the also, as i don't think they're pretty re, pretty much reflecting the attitude. people just do not realize that it's russia are taking you crime that the crimea wasn't russian than it is. it was an exception. 8 years ago, so i think we're dealing with the public opinion which still refuses to face reality, and it will take time. and i'm afraid really a lot of coffins and a lot of engine before this opinion starts to return. well, that actually was bringing me on to my next question because we're seeing civilians essentially have been targeted and do not think that could turn the tide against

vladimir putin am in russia. you mean the grades of it yet ukrainians? if it is, but, you know, i think that it would affect to am the attitude that russians have towards appleton at home. no, i don't think so. i think that those who are against this war are pretty much i, they are the gone, the, they are the left russia or the already set in their ways. those who support the war will continue to support it. there is this huge middle in russia and there's going to be a battle for this middle. and i think so far the crown and manage to ignite flames of hatred are flames of our own really huge zeno phobic attitude towards ukrainians. and this idea that ukrainians are taking russians on their land. that is what the criminals known trying to push dung, the down rush, throats, the millions of russia throws it,

i think to some extent they will succeed. alas. so i think that before public opinion changes before it starts to see, are you creating victims as really victims? ah, there will be time. and during this time we'll see more victims on both sides. there's no doubt that ukraine will continue resisting and it will continue striking russian target. so in a sense, we are now talking about a situation in which probably those who are really interested in the situation are even more set in their ways, at least inside russia. he don't use constantine eggers in vilnius. thank you. thank vladimir putin has confirmed what many suspected that the strikes against ukrainian cities are in retaliation for the attack on the bridge in crimea. now the link between russia and the occupied peninsula was opened just 4 years ago. as

a flag ship project for moscow, picking up the scraps at the sight of a bridge that stood as a symbol of mask as a legal 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 and peninsula? a queue of cars stretched 22 kilometers on monday. some passenger said they'd been waiting for up to 12 hours with carrie, 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 agent for the blast. calling it a terrorist act. he has vowed to rebuild the bridge.

ukrainian military intelligence says today, strikes were planned before the curse bridge bombing at the weekend. and i spoke to military analyst frank leg which and asked him about that claim. yes, father, that does make sense. there were 80 strikes launched today according to ukrainian military of which about half were shot down. that's a pretty, pretty significant target, sir, to so called 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, occasioned by the bridge. but i'm fairly certain that the attack will have been planned and staffed long before that. right, right. 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 is 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 attempt to undermine morale. it's going to the reverse

we seem to have had an issue there that was military analyst, frank led, which speaking to me earlier. well, we're leaders have condemned the russian strikes the french president to my new home across says the attack signal that moscow is escalating the war. you spoke with you of a lot. him is lensky on the phone this morning at length. i will hold the meeting as soon as i return from my end, i will have the opportunity to speak in an appropriate setting. obviously, france, as i had the opportunity to do this morning, has contempt and the strongest terms rush, us, deliberate strikes on the whole of ukraine and territory against civilians which is a profound change. the nature of this wound. and actually, i am shocked at the poles by this vicious attack on p. f and other ukrainian cities . russia once again, as shown to the world, what it stands for, it is carol and brutality. those who are responsible have to be held accountable.

will morning the victims and i said my heartfelt condolences to our ukrainian friend, i know ukrainians will not be intimidated, and ukrainians know that we will stand by our side, their side as long as it takes china on the other hand, has not condemned russia instead calling for restraint, we have taken note of that i live in japan and hope the situation can deescalate soon think whether the one the german defense minister, christina lam heist has said that germany will deliver the 1st of 4 iris t. s l m. air defense systems to ukraine within days. the renewed miss all fire on keith and many other cities. shows how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickie. when i spoke to the w political correspondent julius of delhi, and i asked her whether the germans system could have protected ukraine from the latest attacks unless it is germany, most modern and most expensive air defense system. now,

it isn't with germany's military. germany's army with the buddhist vi, it 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 of 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 and heights. 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 call? you know, the call happened shortly after the attacks, and we heard both from zalinski and from the german side that what was discussed was that all of shots expressed germany's solidarity with ukraine and strongly condemned russia's attack against a different ukrainian cities. the lensky of the ukrainian president also made clear that he will take part in a meeting tomorrow of the g 7, a virtual meeting that was called today 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 destroy infrastructure in today's attack. thank
