a number of lines have been left without power as late as strikes or come as ukrainian military and civilian leaders warned that the kremlin is preparing for a new wide scale offensive. as early as january ukrainian infrastructure is coming under almost daily russian bombardment. this among the latest attacks, with rockets severely damaging a warehouse in the northeastern city of har, keith prompting the city mer to urge residence to stay in shelters. investigators and war crime, prosecutors on site soon after to inspect the damage and collect evidence us is just ourselves. russia conduct strikes on civilian infrastructure. as you see, as was the warehouse was completely empty. there was no connection to the military whatsoever. not garza lewis called the maya in southern ukraine and the liberated city of her son, emergency teams do their best to tackle

a fire after more shelling, according to officials here, the city is now completely without power. for those who remain life is a daily struggle. after nearly 10 months of war, the un high commissioner for human rights is now wanting that more strikes could lead to a further serious deterioration in the humanitarian situation. missile strikes on civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities, and hydro, electric power stations. i exposing millions of civilians, especially persons in situations of vulnerability to extreme hardship. during the winter months. over 10000000 consumers are facing cuts in electricity. and millions are cut off from a regular supply of water. and russia has rejected a proposal of a christmas truce with pro moscow officials in the occupied city of don't acts blaming ukraine for this attack. an apartment building and

a hospital among the buildings damaged in the shelling. a senior ukrainian military general now says russia is digging in for a long war in ukraine and still wants to conquer the entire country. criminal should only the kremlin, realizes that in the short term, it's impossible to achieve victory in the war. no more. lu, i'm with us, it's seeking to turn the conflict into a prolonged armed confrontation aimed at exhausting ukraine and our partners. there were now concerns that any new russian assault could come from neighbouring bell roofs. his armed forces continue to hold combat readiness drills close to its border with ukraine or correspondent mic connelly was in cave. as the missiles struck, i asked him about the day where did he stand? it started with a lot of bangs here in key or something. we haven't had quite some time out,

seemingly. that was the air defense system here working, but pretty close to us in the center of give. this is a real sign that russia still has many more cruise missiles and other options disposal than ukraine would want. we've heard from the crane or thirty's, they say they were able to deal with were able to shoot down about 3 course. the missiles that were launched against you crank day 60 out of 76. but it does seem especially outside of care of where the tents are better. lots of strategic targets been hit, lots of power outages here in central kia pistol. quite a bit of power. you might be able to see some lights on behind me, but holds weights of care of all without power, without water. and is a pretty grim evening here in kiff at a time where it had seemed like these attacks were kind of fighting down. why let's, let's take a closer look at that because as you say now, even more of the countries, your critical infrastructure has been taken out of action. that's still the case. i mean, the picture is always a bit difficult to kind of get a handle on 1st showers. there also normally

a few detailed reports from the cranial thirty's. they're kind of keen to not give the russians too much my idea of what they've actually achieved to not going to give them ideas about what's to continue attacking. but as ever they've been attacking heating plants. and that's really crucial. this is the kind of centralized heating system where water is pop transitive. so if that gets destroyed, the warm water released and then it freezes, that basically means the whole system needs to be built again from scratch. so lots of worries there that, that could be put out of action. power is easier to kind of re bill, but of the question of spare parts. lots of spare parts coming in from foreign countries now as, as busy, nothing available on the open market. and in a sense that, yeah, for now, ukraine keeps all scrambling to rebuild within a couple of days each time, some kind of a mighty returns. but the russians seem really to be waiting for that in place like kennesaw, they waited for a couple weeks until people had power again and then destroyed everything again. so i'm pretty desperate kind of at times here, but people are for now carrying on and not demanding any can change, of course. and that is, and this, of course is part of russia tactic of tried to grind down the ukrainian population

by attacking less of the infrastructure as winter clothes is it is there's this russian strategy working for now ukraine is still working in there's going to extraordinary levels of resilience in the system. when they destroy one rail line, there's often a 2nd or 3rd, maybe a slower line, but the train's get re routed and people arrive the destination. you have a bit later logistics to work. you still send a packet in care of and it'll be either in fact give or leave the next day. incredibly, i think there's a lot of optimism about more western air defenses coming the u. s. a patriot missiles, but basically the fact is, there just aren't enough munitions for the systems anywhere in the world. even in most western european countries to keep on dealing with the kind of threat on the scale. ukraine is and is increasingly took care of you quite needing to just go and take the fight to those russian air drums. make it more difficult for us to launch these attacks and also to make sure the sanctions really are being enforced. and russia doesn't get the western electronics, the western chips that it needs to make movies. missiles thank you for calling key

now to iran, which has condemned the european union for imposing new sanctions over to hands response to the current wave of anti government protest. brussels and i'm just measures targeting the country state broadcaster, its army chief commanders of the revolutionary guard. and the senior cleric protest have swept across the country since the death in police custody of a young irradiance, kurdish women in september. 11. people have been sentenced to death in connection with the demonstrations. the 1st 2 were executed in the last week. 118000 people have been arrested including close family members of iran. supreme leader, i tele, harmony is nice. is one of his harshest critics. it's difficult to get a full picture of life in iran right now, but when it video is published, the eyes of the world are on it. not since the islamic revolution have the iranian

people made their voices heard so loud and clearly and at such great risk to their lives. ah, hawkins, i'm on on with among the fiercest critics. the supreme lead his own niece. no more, very dame without cammie has spoken out harshly against her uncle, and called on foreign governments to cut all ties with terran. one day she missed the boy draw a s on her yos. are they that cannot o 3 people be with us and support us that you government stop supporting this murderous and child killing regime on dangerous words in the islamic republic for when she was arrested for the army for a day more at kenny is currently in jail and iran, where according to her lawyer, she'll spend the next 3 years opposition to the supreme leader runs in the family. very day mode at counties late father was a prominent critic of the iranian regime. her brother is an activist letting an

brutality of surgeon, and especially now with the executions. and let's not forget, they already killed the police 500 people in the past 3 months. and it's just the level of oppression country which the world seen right now for the 1st time, openly. that, that's, that this brings people not to stop. we just got videos today from santa don system, the new system for people not standing in the street for it. each person that you kill, they're going to be a 1000 people behind them. and so this is the spirit of the people because what we and he worked with and hearing for more than 2 months now is the moment that we stop there, we're gonna kill us only not to get us because then the attention of the world is not going to be there anymore, and so they kind of almost have to go on protesting skills. so happy will take a look. now, at some all stores making headlines around the world. 10 people have been killed in a fire and a residential building there. the french city of live
