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 or seduce. people is angry, angry, and want to defend our houses, defend our families, our children, and just communities right across ukraine, count the deadly cost and assess the damage of this attack. they know more, maybe to come. i spoke earlier to about the russian strikes rather with retired us army major john spencer, who wrote the book, understanding urban warfare. i asked him,

what president putin achieved by sending missiles into urban areas of the crime on monday morning? i think like like we were just listening, all he did was hard in the result of the ukrainian population also showed the world that he will commit war crimes that will, that he's frustrated and losing all across ukraine, his military and also that the cronies have shown that they can strike a military target very far into occupied ukraine. you raised the spectre of how this war is going. the attack was described as a brutality by us president biden. but at this point in the war, what are russians options to strike back against the cranium counter offensive? there are lulu a lot less than they were 7 months ago. their military is shattered. the rushing, supposedly tens of thousands of reserve as they're really draftees into already

broken units. but even in the missiles, if you look at the missiles that were launched today, i think it was one of the last salvos that they, they wanted to send a message, but they're not accurate. they're not as explosive. they're relying on our rainy and technologies. he is pretty desperate in many locations. the body's not over, but he's both desperate and frustrated. and the other outcome here could be if they strike have indeed fast track the delivery of a defense systems from places like germany and the us. how much more difficult does it then get or will it get for russia to landline in ukraine? yeah, absolutely. i mean, it is what putting it done. it doesn't make common sense because now he done is given you countries around the world, even more urgency to provide air defense systems,

even at the tax that happened recently over half of those missiles were shot down. so now the recognizing that food will not follow the laws of war. many countries like the u. s. and others will rush those systems into place. absolutely. i want to finish by asking about the fluency of the russian decision making on the bed and on the battlefield. the rush has a new general in charge of the war is not just a new man, but he feels a new position from which he has more complete control. if you like, is that the type of change that can make it meaningful difference? so the russian war effort absolutely not. so the russian generals are average in about 3 weeks. i think he's on about the commanding general other last in about 3 weeks. and really they have a general and his name is who, who's thanks, he and he knows better and is directing battlefield actions. it's just a, sorry, just not the way that we're should be fought. those rotating generals don't have

a good idea what's what, what needs to be done there already haven't broken formations. really, it's showing the, the major weakness in the russian military, even though they have, they still have terrain. there's still a lot of fighting to be done. but command control logistics, and we cannot forget that winter's coming. so this new general, i mean there's not much that he can do to save this. i mean major john spencer was great to get your thoughts. thanks so much for your time. jimmy is promising to speed up the delivery of the long awaited infant systems to your crime. the government says the 1st anti missile battery should arrive within dies this air defense system. the iris t. s l m can intercept any air attacks within a 40 kilometer range and up to 20 kilometers high and can protect
