showing just how close one morning commuter comes to being caught up in the blast. across the city, a giant crater created by another strike just meters. mature trends play area. many here are lucky to escape with their lives, who should alabama elsewhere, residents race to bomb shelters. among them alayna, who recently fled to the capital from her son, hoping it would be a safer environment. they want to destroy our people, our infrastructure, everything. i wouldn't know, and i'm soon and we know by out. he so people shooter, cecilia, i don't know how with the same, why the strikes on the capsule or the 1st since june and come after rushes. president putin blamed ukraine for a blast on a bridge. lincoln crimea, with russia, the weekend speaking on the streets of keith. he cranes, president accused moscow of trying to wipe his nation off the math. progress. bang,

you the one a crate, panicking chaos. now they want to destroy our energy system, right. 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 and cave was not the only target dozens of russian rockets or so cause chaos and destruction in cities right across the country. several regions across ukraine have been left without power after the strikes destroyed, key parts of the countries electricity, great. but despite the apparent russian escalation, in this war, it appears to have only strength in the spirit of the ukrainian people. and instead, the depression, this attack have totally different her emotions. of all i see these people is angry, angry, and want to defend our houses, defends our families, our children,

and just communities right across the ukraine, count the deadly cost and assess the damage of this attack. they know more maybe to come. well earlier i spoke to vitale came, he's the governor of me, clive in southeastern ukraine and i asked him how badly his region had been hit by the strikes. you know, for the luck, i'll region the, wasn't he, it's too hard to day. we have 10 missiles that, that in the night everybody is okay that we have no victims. and one missile we have in region, in region building to go out. mal military forces strike heated 14 missiles on the 3rd of the territory on nicolette region. so not so bad, but who comparing it to this 7 months or so for before? so or today it is okay because our infrastructure is not damaged. people is

not killed in our region, so it's okay. well, vladimir putin says the strikes are retaliation for the weekend, bombing of the curse bridge to crimea. but in fact, actually d at ukrainian military intelligence is saying that they were planned beforehand. what's your reaction to that? i think that this is becca, this is denise ration of weakness of russian army because then they stood there a little in their position and losing their position not on the battlefield but in the whole world. so they had demonstration of lucas with their color. they had taken civilian people and gritty conference structure before the winter. so i think it's not 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, his laws and so he need to say, thomson. well, me personally, not worried about the situation is bad for our infrastructure and for the civilian people, because they will malacca, our intelligence says they were blinded before and they had such a plan many months ago. but they realized then started to plan the planets 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 stamps and back. so granted, 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 you come on. the 3rd was at the new commander, saturday,

pseudo pseudo of the king. i don't think that it will effect any no way will affect our, our situation of the battlefield because they changed already. many commanders in different directions. i think it will change mass. and because the russian army is very corrupt and the week they had moment evasion, there they occupy and their fight and on the land over neighborhood countries. so the russians started to realize that they had no purpose. they had no goals and you grain. so it will change nothing. in my opinion. vitale came the regional governor of michael life. thank you for joining us on d. w. you welcome. well, in the russian capital moscow, there's been mixed reaction to the strikes in ukraine. it's an answer to terrorist

who destroyed the bridge. it was the 1000000000 infrastructure. no mercy for terrorist. no, it's not. right. you got one piece with our patients has limits the crime in bridges, russian infrastructure and ukrainians also have that kind of infrastructure which is also, i feel very sorry that innocent people are dying. but if we have sufficient strength such, then it's all right over the world, we should have done it so no, because it's an answer to a question. 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. well, i asked the t w. russia and list konstantin edgar. how the last few days might affect support for the war within russia? well, i don't think you can speak about support or decrease and supports ah, as such short notice, ah, wanting 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 b r. star for you. great. 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. and it is, it was an annexation 8 years ago. so i think we're dealing with a 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 injured 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 ukraine civilities ukrainians? if it is. but, you know, i think that it would affect to am the attitude that russians have towards a putin at home. no, i don't think so. i think that those who are against this war a pretty much i, they are the god there they are, the left russia or they 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 kremlin managed to ignite flames of hatred. bob flames of our own, really huge xena far big 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 a ukrainian victims is 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 targets. 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. you know, who's konstantin eggers in vilnius, thank you. thank world leaders have condemned the russian action. joe biden says the strikes have no military purpose. and the french president emanuel my call

says moscow is escalating the war. b, a spoke to below to miss zalinski on the phone this morning at length, i will hold a meeting. as soon as i returned 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 condemned in the strongest times russia celebrate strikes on the whole of ukraine and territory against civilians, which is a profound change in the nature of this world. and i am shocked and appalled by this vicious attack on p. f and other ukrainian cities fresh at 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. well, morning the victim and i said my heartfelt condolences to our ukrainian friend, i know you crane you will not be intimidated, and ukrainians know that we will stand by our side their side as long as it was, the german defense minister christina lamplight has said germany will delivered the

1st afore 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 that is to supply ukraine with air defense systems. quickie. well, i spoke to d. w. political correspondent julia sally earlier, and i asked her whether the germans system could have protected you crying from these latest attacks. it is germany 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 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 can, 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 attacks 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 lansky. what can you tell us about the cool you know, the call happened shortly after the attacks and we heard both from zalinski and from the german 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, the lensky of the ukrainian president also made clear that he will take part in

a meeting tomorrow. 1 of the g 7, a virtual meeting that was called today urgently, and that he will there outline rushes behavior in 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 aids to help rebuild to the destroy infrastructure in today's attack. thank you. julia. julia suddenly took your political correspond alright, you're up to date, friend golf is here from the top. the next hour from the team take care i i have been beaten because we try to show you a free for the environmental.
