is a living see to your it's of trees. gold . jenny reset on w. w . news coming to live from berlin, russian to russia. again, a tax, ukraine's capital authorities in keith say they shut down pi, brushing themselves and drones, dozens of drones. the least one person killed moscow says use long range weapons and retaliation for an earlier ukrainian strike. also coming up for 100 members of serious armed forces surrender their weapons, hoping to become part of the country's new order. we'll hear from a former general who wants to work with the rebel leaders and goes as children in the youngsters who should be in school instead, spend their days standing in line and fighting for food and water.

the little m. terry martin, thanks for joining us. russia has bombarded the ukrainian capital key with ballistic missiles, calling a retaliatory attack officials in cape say, at least one person was killed in the early morning strike, and 6 diplomatic commissions have been damaged. russia claims the strike was in response to an earlier ukrainian attack using western supplied missiles. you commission, president or slip on the line has condemned the russian before been calling it tennis was cross straight over to dw corresponding economy who was standing by empty. nick, what more do we know about the attacks and the damage? a while we've heard in the last couple of hours, a suggestion that potentially the reason why some of the damage was quite as

extreme if indeed all these missiles were shut down, as has been near the story from the granite side is that maybe in one of these missiles, yes, themselves shut down, but the war head was not destroyed in that insect and was still able to explode and cause damage as it fell to the ground. we've seen all of us be here in capitals and more wiley, pretty extraordinary images of fire as of christmas decorations up. but it's pretty devastating. seems had it been a couple of hours or even half an hour later, probably more people would have suffered as of these attacks because it was just in the beginning of the morning. rush out. and as you mentioned that embassies hit, including the embassy of portugal. we've already heard that the, fortunately for ministry has cooled in russia, shows that it has in lisbon full to explain himself. they are protesting about this . we expect some of the action from the other countries affected. doesn't seem like to damage them to the embassies was that big, but they still see a big red line. those kind of embassies all meant to be a safe space even more time. so we could see how much that explains that away. now

russia doesn't offer an attack key with ballistic missiles. what were the likely targets of this attack? the what we've heard from the russian defense ministry talking about this being some kind overtime nation for a ukrainian attack using western weapons. but that ukrainian attack was against a military target against a factory that produces rocket fuel. so even if there was some kind of military target in the middle of a full 1000000 person city, the key of is that is not comparable. this factory that the pregnancy in russia was it in a factory rural area. we don't have reports of so many cars do that. so that is not like for like that explanation doesn't work. i think this is about a demonstration of how a demonstration of winning this to intimidate because the russians would have known the cube as well, defended enough to intercept these missiles most of the place and ukraine. those

missiles would have reached the targets, hear more about reminding, and when you credit the capital that russia is willing to invest, these results is willing to escalate and basically trying to show that even if some kind of negotiations i'll vote for by donald trump when he gets to office that these will only be allowed to happen on russia terms that russia is not going to accept anything basically short of speech ration from you. great. given what you just said, nick, what's the mood among the ukrainian people right now? less than a month before donald trump is set to take office again. i think people are definitely tired. the soap see it lists and there's the boy moving to it. so you're kind of stood out of a 3, lots of people who've been fighting and been fighting since the very start and haven't had much of a break. there is real fear that don't trumps can try and force you creating some kind of deal almost goes to just to have this over and done with as it were. and did that kind of providing moved here as well?

we would want this woodrand, but we're not going to allow it to be posed. and then the russians to come again, you know, 6 months, so 2 years down the road. so it is a very difficult time here. but you know, on the other hand, people here and you have have seen that the defense is do work. yes, you can still, you know, be home is by phoning debris. but there's michelle's at least having key of all being shut down. nick, thank you very much. our correspondent nick connelly, they're in t now more on the war in ukraine in everyday families. very loved ones who have been killed on the front lines. but as christmas approaches many are trying to create a festive atmosphere despite their own losses. dw is much on their reports from hockey. no parents that have to bury their child gets here in harkey. if it happens every day. this woman had to wait for more than a year for this. the russians only recently handed over the body of her son alexi.

he will always be with us. all to do here with his spirit, will remain with us forever is nominated these are the graves of ukraine soldiers. how many have died remains the secret of this part of the cemetery has just been extended and the grand scheme of things, the soldier's death is a statistic. for family. it's everything i don't understand anything years ago. i need to come to my senses to understand, push to it's empty with i with him. and i'm proud of him. i always miss desk with church close by. a

group of family and friends, 10 degrees of on 3. he volunteered in the summer and died in the winter killed during his 2nd combat mission. the group brought flowers and a can at his favorite beer. they took everything, i believe was a good person. he was cheerful, kind the soul of the company to 3 that doesn't to check on friday. they talked about his love for life, how he coach the children's football team, and how the war has changed to them. so it could be in order to you could we are united by loading for our country and these are those of maybe the end to be hadn't come. we wouldn't do the spend, how much we love new training and young people. we hate the enemy who came, who destroyed our country, who makes our children and grandchildren off. and we will never, ever forgive. many people like and 3 and alexi had been killed trying to

defend their country because the prospect of a 4th year of war lose many are asking how much longer they can keep going. with the country slowly burning out. and the future of allied support, unclear. even so this christmas party, this full of lights, they've been absent for the last 2 years. but now the decorations are back in the safety of the metro saint. nicholas wilkins, children and parents to enjoy music and dance the. 1 the end for a time to think about other things. most of the very pictures and we must do this so that our children could i even even have such

lack of access to basic services, and also facing monday edition. and i get aware of where they can assist. now, 96 percent of women and children and as a m are facing uh you know, difficulties accessing basically additional needs. in addition to that, of course, you know, the cypress headquarters, you get this test said that is also a company that children uh, throughout this particular one. and in fact uh, moving through some via conditions and then also suffering from displacement and lots of, of their parents and their family members. in addition, of course, to the overall situation that they are going through the living conditions, displacement conditions and also the cost and fear. and according also to um, to your satisfaction and guess there's no wonder that they're facing and you know what about actually showing signs and symptoms of it. i'll throw mind psychological distress. and um, and of course the economic sense of the display and feeling of course,
