a russian missile finds its target, a glass bridge, a major tourist attraction in the heart of the ukrainian capital security cameras, 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 jones play area. many here are lucky to escape with their lives. who should i live over elsewhere? residence race to bomb shelters. among them, alayna, who recently fled 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 while out here. so people shooter, cecilia, i don't know how to say why he strikes on the capital of the 1st since june and come after russia's president. putin blamed ukraine for a blast on

a bridge. lincoln crimea, with russia. the weekend, speaking on the streets of keith, ukraine's president accused moscow of trying to wipe his nation off the math. progress buying you, the one a crate, panicking chaos not to want to destroy our energy system. right. the 2nd target is people with general, 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 strengthened the spirit of the ukrainian people. and instead, the depression,

this attack have totally different her emotion of all as it is, people is angry, angry, and want to defend our ha houses defend our families. our children are distributed right across ukraine, count the deadly cost and assess the damage of this attack. they know more may be to come earlier i asked or corresponded in keep funny for sure 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 and to confirm. but i'm actually right because it was just so unusual. in fact, the last time i've heard such a big bank was in february 24th when the full scale invasion of russia started. but then of course, we are john only. so what do we do? you want to find out what exactly has happened. so we rushed to the scene where it be so burnt cars at really, really if you looked at those cars,

you could hardly imagine that anybody has gotten alive from those car 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 seen was chaos. people panicking at the same time trying to understand where they should go weren't, do you actually feel safe and protected? and while i was trying to find out via an eye witness at what exactly he has experienced, we heard more explosions. so everyone was trying to look for a shelter literally running for the lives. so did we and 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 to day. in fact, right now, also there's an air raid and active air aid alert, which means you have to stay in the shelters, which of course, you're also going to do

a shortly after this. that was funny feature reporting from keith in the russian capital manascale. there has been mixed reaction to today's strikes. but it's an answer to terrors. to destroy the bridge, it was civilian infrastructure, no mercy for terrorists. no, it's not, right. you can't, won't be split 2nd, beat me and made it more them are patient has limits the crime in bridges, russian infrastructure and ukrainians, also have that kind of infrastructure, which is all, i feel very sorry that innocent people are dying, they will do. but if they have sufficient strength such, then it's all right over the machete on the wall, we should have done it so no, because it's an unfair to aggression. and i 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. or earlier i asked you, w, russia, analysts, roman don't yelling, co held the last few days might affect support for the war within russia.

well, it is important to say that we do not have some scientific data reliable data on the moon in russia, the russian society, the poles that we had in the past weeks suggest that the majority of russians support this war. a relative majority. and the mobilization that president led him important started a few weeks ago. he's not so popular as he would have expected. or we see that, or we've hundreds of russian men leaving the country trying to escape from that vocalization. so that's a clear indication there is, there is a problem with his plan to record more men to fight against your brain. as to the events of the last days, i would say my personal opinion is that the society is getting more and more polarized. so people who supported this war before their support is growing, and people who were skeptical or maybe opposing this war, their position is also growing. but that opposition is relatively small in the

russian society. so i would suggest that in the coming weeks it will depend on how the situation will develop on the battlefield. and maybe that will bring some changes, but those changes are likely to be rather slow. i would say, what was there in your opinion then a connection between what we saw today with these air strikes the bombing of the, or the explosion of on the bridge over the weekend. and what is happening on the battlefields? i mean, the criminal has made it clear that this was about revenge. what we saw today, but it's going to change what's happening in the, in this war. well, it is about revenge, but it is much more i think, and we have to look back a few weeks. and remember that in this autumn has been extremely unsuccessful for the russian army and with the grain ukrainian army pushing in the north and getting back

a lot of territory. just east of the 2nd largest city of harkey and then the ukrainians pushing in the south in there is no song and trying to liberate that region as well. and of course, the explosion of the bridge, which is an extremely important and symbolic symbolic bridge for presently important for his annexation of crimea and the 2014. so, russian has made it, russia has made it very clear that any attacks on that bridge would be a red line. so you had to react and he had to come down. those who criticize who support him actually, where they started to criticize him openly. it's a hard core part of the russian society, but who very much would like to to see much heavier, much more gruesome war than christine in the past month. so those people were expecting something like this to happen, a heavy bombardment. so this is what she did. so once again,

this is not just revenge, this is something that has been expecting from expectancy on, brought him importing from his heart or supporters for some while. and there is also a new question, commander of, of this war, of this special operation in ukraine. is this new commander is his appointment, an answer to these hard liners? well, it looks like this. it's been too early to say to say to be definite. i would say because he's been appointed just 2 days ago, i think we know about him that he has been commanding russian forces in the south of ukraine after the invasion and during the invasion in february. and this is where a russian forces had most gains of territory. of course, it is not just because of him. there were other factors as well, but the fact is this, this part of the russian army has been successful and occupied large territory in the south of ukraine. i think that spoke for him in the eyes of president bush and

he also commanded russian forces in syria. he commanded russian air forces and i think this is exactly what, what he can do. he can use our planes. he can use rockets, missiles, to heat targets, what, what he cannot use, or at least it is too early to tell how successful he will be, is to win on the battlefield. because russia has obviously not enough manpower to conduct a major offensive at this moment. this is why president bush in order order that mobilization or so what he, what she had to react because he was facing winter and he was losing territory is roman pennsylvania as always we appreciate your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. let's have a look now with some of the other developments related to the ongoing, more in ukraine bill routes and russia are forming a joint army unit. the leader bellow roots alexander lucas shanker says that he received intelligence,
