officers involved w correspond as well, and contra ranko as in key if and he told us earlier what he knew about the new year's eve attack and mckee. oh, there are still not so many details there. ukrainian central command a mentioned that are in, in it's a daily bulletin in the evening saying that some 10 russian vehicles, military officers were destroyed or damaged but are saying that the casualties number of casualties. it's is still on known before the ukrainian armed forces said that up to 400, a russian soldiers have been killed. and the russians are saying only $63.00. so there is a huge gap between those figures. and, and what is striking is they very harsh criticism of the no russian, a pro, a proc, pro government or bloggers and pro government commentators in social media. and this reminds of the situation in september when the ukrainians. i started

a counter offensive in the region of hockey, which was absolutely unexpected for the russians and could regain territory. so on the level of criticism, i'm of the russian military officials who decided on political or who decided to let those soldiers be accumulated in one place and then be killed. and it is, it is very striking and m some here. and keith also expect now probably a russian retaliation because there were similar incidents in the past. and as the situation is, is still very dynamic here in kiff here. as you talked about that, that discrepancy between the numbers that are being given by the russian defense ministry and the ukrainian force as it is, whatever that number be. the biggest loss of life in a single event that the kremlin is admitting to how is this being received by the ukrainian people? absolutely, so it reminds erm. erm or it could be or it, it is comparable in,

so in some opinions or 2 to a sinking a big russian ship like that. a mosque ra flagship. on the other hand, the ukrainian officials, her arm appear to be down playing. it may be to prevent her further escalation. i'm because it is, it is, it looks like a really big thing. i'm probably much more dad than the russian officials are, are telling the public and am, on the other hand, are the ukrainian social networks. of course, are rejoicing they are, they are happy because on that night, a russia assert was, was continuing to strike ukrainian territory including the capital key of and the night and the night after that as well. so russia is putting more pressure on ukraine and so, so there was joy on the ukrainian side to show that a russians are also suffering. and the growing is just not just taking those russian strikes and doing nothing. because as i've said in the couple of days

before that the russia was putting more and more pressure on the ukranian civilian instruct infrastructure. yeah. and among several other parts of the country, keith has again come under intense russian attack was the situation now at the moment as we speak, it is relatively calm during the day. it was a warm day about 10 degrees and plus centigrade. and a there was a mixture, you know, of a, a resilience, a kind of a war situation as usual. so people were, seemed, at least partially relaxed on the streets. armed is walking by expecting they are to dr. christmas in a few days. but on the other hand, am during the evening and as the night began, now there is growing tension. there is an expectation of a further russian attack by drones, iranian drones. and the key of is obviously the most valuable target. so

there is this grove intention of what could happen at night, and in the coming days, w correspond enrolling country and can keep many things, and stay safe for months now, russia has focused on back what's in the eastern dumbass region. that city has seen some of the most intense fighting of the war. these images from the ukrainian national guard show the result of the russian onslaught. much of the fighting is old fashioned trench warfare. the frontline often barely moves at off selling is causing heavy losses on both sides as soldiers are pinned down and well known locations. medics to everything they can to save lives and did away is max santa joined an evacuation team on the eastern front. sheeting deaf at high speed when taking the injured from ukrainian front lines on every 2nd campus.
