officials or preparing citizens for reduced electricity supply. in the coming days . the death told me pro is expected to rise now that emergency crews are losing hope of finding more people alive in the wreckage. b, as seen from halifax, denise pro apartment block where dozens of homes have been laid to waste by a russian missile strike. numerous, i'm speechless, rural, speechless, iroquois just minutes after the attack rescue workers were on the scene, carrying at the casualties and scouring the debris for trapped victims. lupa, i'm part of the group of volunteers who usually evacuate the dead and wounded from the battlefield. but we also help when their attacks on the city using

torches. the emergency cruise tried to locate residents inside the destroyed building the residence sent back signals through blo nice windows lice from their mobile phones. the d pro strike came as mission missiles rained down across ukraine. the ukranian defense ministry says many were shot down, but emergency blockades were put in place in many regions, due to damage to energy infrastructure. ukraine's president says the latest attacks are proof. there's only fighting back, can stop russia to more of those openly. doris, is it possible to stop russian terror? the yes, it is auction you can it be done other than on the battlefield and ukraine, more than unfortunately, no, she said can. and must be done on our land water in our sky. that sleeve not does what is needed. got the weapons that our partners have in their warehouses and our warriors are waiting for that could be seen as a message to germany,

which is mulling weather to deliver leopard to fossil tanks, to ukraine. on saturday, the u. k. up the pressure by announcing it would send challenger 2 times. they will be the 1st advance times given to ukraine by its allies. since the war began. and russian president vladimir putin claims that the war is going in the right direction for his country. he made the comments on state t v and said he hoped what he calls the special military operation will deliver more gains. i asked marina miran a defense analyst with kings college in london. what she makes of that. well, i think right now we're witnessing a turning moment in the war and militarily, 1st of all, after the capture of sold by the group and the russian forces. so this might break the strategic initiatives as the ukranian forces having on the other hand, russia is striking,

ukraine's critical infrastructure again. and this time allegedly with ballistic missiles, meaning ukraine doesn't have the necessary air defenses. and this will put a lot of pressure on western allies to supply not only tanks, but also new equipment, new era, defense systems. and right now we're witnessing a lot of disagreements amongst nato members. as far as this is concerned. so what pudding is trying to do is to exhaust both the ukrainian leadership, the ukrainian population, and obviously the resources that the western allies have and just focus on the tanks as you were mentioning. is there any indication that other allies will follow the united kingdom and spending more time, more tanks and in time to actually help? well, this is a difficult question because on the u. k. pledge to send forth in challenger to tanks, which is

a main battle tank and the u. k. this gesture is highly political in order to open the floodgates for as a countries to send leopard tanks. and in fact, poland and finland are ready to send leper to tanks. however, without truman approval, it would be, according to the german officials, illegal to sans ost. hanks. and now it remains to be seen because it would be the 1st time that western allies or supplying ukraine was offensive weapons. and the other problem is obviously if ukraine receives challenger to tanks, the ukrainian infrastructure, such as bridges are not made, was at weight. and labrat tanks are slightly less heavies and the challenger to but again, 60 tons is much more than ukrainian bridges can support. bless, additional supply lines need to be established. an additional crew treading training needs to take place. and by the time that happens, and the question is,

will there the tanks be that useful? and obviously they're still has to be a decision made among european allies and true many to sandals tanks and the 1st place. okay, thank you for that insight marina miran from london's london's kings college. thank you. let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 3 people have been killed and 13 injured in an explosion in the russian region of belgrade. the country's tass use agency set a fire caused a store of ammunition in a cultural center to explode. the belgrade region borders ukraine, and his home to a number of russian military bases. gunman have shot dead, a former afghan lawmaker and her body guard at her home in campbell, i more sol, nevada was among the few women parliamentarians who remained in cobble after the taliban seized power. year and a half ago, she was elected in 2019 to represent cavil. ellen,
