what happened after eight in the morning here in the capital the first of several explosions. the authorities say that more than 80 rockets were fired across ukraine. half of them were shot down by ukrainian air defenses. this was the largest attack on kyiv. after the first stages of the war, when the russians were near the capital and tried to capture it, there were also reports of attacks in lviv, dnipro and kharkiv. here in ukraine, ostrog was that the russians will give a strong response after the explosion on the crimean bridge that happened over the weekend and russian missiles hit the center of kyiv for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, hitting shevchenko park near one of the rockets of the kyiv national university fell near the railway station in the morning. during

rush hour, a glass pedestrian bridge near the people's friendship arch was also targeted. at least six people were killed and 51 people were injured. this was reported by kyiv mayor vitaliy klitschko. our correspondent zhanna bezpyachuk saw the consequences of the attacks on the capital the very center of kyiv in fire and smoke, russia hit shevchenko boulevard, volodymyrskaya street peak, kyivans were in a hurry to work and study , a rocket flew by this girl in a second hit the playground in shevchenko park, a lot of people with strollers usually walk on the playground, this is the favorite place, the battle for

today, this is the only park in kyiv that is accessible by foot, where do children go , adult couples in love - this is a park shevchenko is one of the highlights of kyiv and one of the most favorite places of rest for the people of kyiv, and indeed this arrival, well, really, it’s not even in my mind that it’s on the playground, it’s very symbolic of my взглад i consider прищение етому нет in the morning of october 10 again rocket fire and smoke over kyiv 's left bank, but this time russia hit the very heart of the capital, so they tried to hit the volodymyr bridge, currently known as the

klitschka bridge, this pedestrian and bicycle bridge is popular for morning runs and walks for some reason russia recognized it as an object of strategic importance, while the crimean bridge is used to deliver russian troops to the crimea. and after the attack on ukraine, it was used only by civilians in the morning for to take a walk in the center of the capital, however , there was a glass pedestrian bridge in the center of kyiv, several powerful explosions rang out. and next to the central railway station, very strong explosions were heard, two at a time. ran back to the train car and we all ran into the underpass and there everyone was lying on the floor on the tiles. everyone was crying and there everyone was very scary. leaving the station, what i saw was the

same explosions again. i thought maybe it was all over somehow well, it's not that it's over, but there's some kind of break, that it won't happen anymore, that we're already there and that's it. we're trying so that it will all end, but when i saw all three rocket strikes again, the fear was immediately very strong, there was a fright, but nothing somehow with the support of the guys succeeded in the fact that russia kissed the very heart of the ukrainian capital but was unable to stop his life zhanna bezpidchuk kevin mcgregor bbc kyiv president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi called the massive rocket attacks by the russians an act of state terrorism, according to him, the russian troops have two targets are energy facilities throughout the country and people, and the time of day was morning and the targets were chosen in order to cause

as much damage as possible. zelensky called on people to stay in shelters and observe safety rules, because the danger of strikes remains high. they have two target energy facilities throughout our state kyiv oblast khmelnytskyi lviv and dnipro vinnytsia frankiv oblast zaporizhzhia sumy oblast kharkiv oblast zhytomyr oblast kirovohrad oblast south of the state they they seek panic and chaos, they want to destroy our power system, they are hopeless, the second target is people who specially chose such a time and such prices to cause as much damage as possible, but we ukrainians help each other, we believe in ourselves, we restore everything destroyed, now there may be temporary interruptions with electricity, but there will never be interruptions this means confidence and

the west reacted to the attacks on ukrainian cities in the same way. the european union called indiscriminate attacks on civilians of ukraine a war crime and promised support more about the reaction of world leaders further the european commission did not strictly condemn the russian missile strikes on kyiv and other cities of ukraine, as a result of which civilians were killed and civil infrastructure was damaged. this is terror and brutality, the culprits must be brought to justice we express our sincere condolences to our ukrainian friends i know that ukrainians should not be intimidated and ukrainians know that we we will stand by their side for as long as it takes, a high-ranking representative of the eu foreign affairs and security policy zeberi said that he was deeply

shocked by russia's attack on civilians in kyiv and other cities of ukraine, such actions have no place in the 21st century, the cape with ukraine, additional military support from the eu is already way in brussels, the statement of the european union, which qualifies attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure as war crimes, was voiced by the spokesman of petersburg, this attack is a barbaric and militant attack. and only show that russia chooses the tactics of selective bombing of civilians, this is contrary to international humanitarian law and is a war crime. intentional attacks on the civilian population were also called a war crime by the minister of foreign affairs of france, catherine colon, and the minister of foreign affairs of great britain, james cleverley, said that , according to him, missile attacks are not acceptable. shelling of civilian areas of ukraine this is a demonstration of numbers on the part of putin, not strength eu leaders

spoke in favor of the creation of an international tribunal to punish the war crimes committed by russia in ukraine, the prime minister of estonia k kalush believes that the leading role in its formation should be taken by the european allies to prosecute the crimes of war and aggression, an international tribunal is needed. so the question is which body will become the founder of this international tribunal believes that it can be the european union - president biden said that russian missile strikes will only strengthen the determination of the united states to help ukraine and the kremlin confirmed missile strikes on the territory of ukraine yes president putin said in the current video message that russia struck military facilities and energy infrastructure of ukraine with high-precision long-range weapons. putin said that ukraine was

fired at the proposal of the ministry of defense and according to the plan of the general staff. with such actions, the russian president is trying to stay in power, according to an american military analyst in the former commander of the us army in europe, general bengotz for wanted, i think president putin wanted to strike back because it is humiliating that the ukrainian forces could have hit the kerch bridge and damaged it if we assume that this is what they did, but the effect of the strike from disabling the kerch bridge is of great importance for russian logistics operations, while these attacks on civilian targets in ukrainian cities are another condemnation of this very loudly from all over the world he is killing innocent people regarding the potential escalation before winter comes here there are two aspects first what we see from russian strikes on cities is a continuation of their efforts to

to repeat what they did to ukraine in the 1930s in the holodomor death from hunger and also what ukrainians call the cold famine freeze them to death make ukrainian cities unlivable destroy the energy infrastructure food supply because their military obviously cannot fulfill the task set by russia on the battlefield there will be a certain influence due to the weather, but the ukrainians i spoke with have no intention of easing the pressure, they do not want to give russia the opportunity to get back on its feet and integrate these miserable mobilized reservists, i predict that the approach of winter will be the first for the russian forces than for the ukrainians regarding the new commander of the russian forces suravikin, his key feature that is being discussed after the appointment, he seems to be quite brutal and this is exactly what putin wants, changing the commander will not correct the deep

problems that the russians have demonstrated logistics of the inability to conduct joint operations when the air land sea forces are integrated they have not done this for a single day since february 24 so that to fix such big existing problems it takes more than one new commander how far can putin go of course he is dangerous he has access to thousands of nuclear warheads but i still think it is unlikely that he will use nuclear weapons his number one priority is to protect his own regime the use of nuclear weapons will not help this and will definitely not give advantages to russian forces on the battlefield, the usa will respond because they are watching china, north korea, iran, watch the usa - this is the last thing that the kremlin wants at a certain moment, i can imagine putin he will say that it is terrible to lose in ukraine, but it is worse to lose in russia, but his first priority

will be to hold on to power," he says , a statement of this nature indicates that if this is really the position of the kremlin, russia will seek to continue the war until all of ukraine returns to its sphere of influence, i think correctly to say this is that this massive show of force was not really a surprise because what we've seen over the last month and especially the last three weeks has been escalation followed by escalation and more one escalation eventually led to today's bombing, which president putin called a massive attack and also threatened that there would be

another harsh response, which is now completely understandable, that last saturday's attack on the bridge connecting russia with the crimean peninsula was a slap in the face of vladimir putin and he perceived her as a personal insult, because this bridge symbolizes the crimea annexed by putin, so such an answer was expected. another question that arises is what to expect, now there is a fear that the escalation will increase i want to draw your attention to the fact that the former president of russia dmitry medvedev wrote on his social networks that ukraine will be a constant direct threat to russia, so our goal in the future should be the complete dismantling of the political regime of ukraine if the situation is seen the same way in the kremlin. if putin sees it the same way, then this will mean that russia will advance further in order to completely return ukraine under its control and the last thing when russia talks about retaliation against ukraine, we must not forget

that putin himself started all this when he attacked ukraine the wave of rocket attacks occurred two days after the explosions on the crimean bridge, and many experts and the ukrainians themselves associate today's attack with this. also, with the lack of success of the russian troops at the front, the russians are retreating on the battlefield, and this has a great internal impact on president putin pressure from hard-liners without being able to make significant progress on the battlefield, he reacts in this way, he chose the easiest and most spectacular option to respond to the crimean bridge on saturday, the russian national of the anti-terrorist committee stated that a truck was detonated on the bridge, this led to the explosion of seven fuel tanks, as a result of which a

part of the road bridge collapsed. and let's talk more about it with us, head of the institute of black sea strategic studies, andriy klymenko, about mr. andriy, greetings, a message appeared today military intelligence that the russian troops received instructions from the kremlin to prepare missile strikes on the civilian infrastructure of ukraine on the second and third of october, that is, long before the explosion on the crimean bridge, you personally connect today's events with saturday's events from this, well, right from the beginning this is such a coincidence because our military friends say that such large-scale operations as missile strikes on more than ten regions of ukraine and hundreds of objects are being prepared for a long time, it is quite difficult

technology and i think that our intelligence, which today said what you quoted, it just happened so coincided that this is the reason. well, i want to emphasize that today's missile attack has no military meaning, it is designed primarily for the russian so-called the patriotic audience, which already a month after the resounding defeats of the kremlin in the kharkiv region and the kherson region mercilessly criticizes putin. putin is facing such devastating criticism for the first time in his 20 years in power. therefore, this is such a bone thrown to the patriotic uh, so to speak, a layer of uh, the russian imperialists , so that they would applaud. but they calmed down a bit and stopped uh, devastatingly criticizing their president

. well, russia spent billions of rubles annually on the maintenance of the protection of the crimean bridge, it was guarded both on land and in the air, even from water in your opinion, how did the explosion become possible at all with such security measures apple i think that it is uh, you know uh, there are many people there, let's talk about uh, the russian federation, there will always be a person or many people who do not fulfill their job duties, official instructions, well, that is, of course, this is russian negligence, as they say , that's why i think that the replanning of this campaign on the crimean bridge was calculated somewhere, someone did not add up, someone did not fulfill their duties, someone was probably drunk at the workplace

. especially since it was a day off. that 's why all of this happened. in your opinion, what is the significance of this? if we talk about saturday's attack on the crimean bridge, how big a slap is it for putin personally, well, from the point of view of political and psychologically, this is of course the biggest slap, which means , most likely, what he received during his 20 years in power, this is a symbol of the fact that crimea is tightly tied to russia, so to speak, and of course everyone read this as ukraine's attempt to demonstrate that crimea will return - to where it should be according to international law. so, and from the point of view of the effect sheet. well, we can

now say that approximately 50% of the carrying capacity of the automobile part of the bridge has been lost, and at least 50%. and it is about 60% the lost capacity of the railway part of the bridge. of course, there is very little information about this because russia hides this information, but it can be said that every day more than a thousand e-e chickens came through the crimean bridge, that is , e-e freight cars of 20 and more tons each , now there are opportunities for ferries which e-e collects so very quickly the russian federation collects the maximum possibility in good weather that in autumn and winter it will not be every day they can transport

40-450 items that is, it has already caused very huge queues and in the krasnodar region, in the kuban and in the crimea , this will definitely be reflected on the shelves of stores. the state of supply of construction materials and everything, everything, everything, except that, in addition to what is transported by rail , the carrying capacity of the 24 trains passed today 16 of the railways. that is, we also see that they are very careful, although we are there as usual, russia says that everything is fine. it's okay, they are very careful trying to send trains over the bridge because they are afraid that there is an explosion. some imperceptible damage without special research, that is, in general, in general, if you take the

military component, of course, military cargo, military reinforcements to kherson region where there are battles, they go by rail, so unfortunately, the railway was not as badly damaged as the car was not transportation yes, thank you for the conversation. it was andrii klymenko, head of the institute of black sea strategic studies. thank you. good luck. and the russian strikes hit critical infrastructure objects, mostly these objects power supply in eight oblasts and kyiv, where more than 30 fires broke out. this was reported by the state emergency service, four oblasts were left without electricity, and finally , the electricity supply was partially disrupted in the territory of ukraine, as the head of the parliamentary energy committee andrii gerus warned, the evening of october 10 will be one of the most difficult evenings for the ukrainian energy industry. he explained that russia struck, quote, a

large number of power plants and substations. in some regions, there is a temporary lack of electricity and in some cases, schedules of emergency so-called fan outages have been introduced, the deputy told and called on ukrainians to try to reduce consumption in order to prevent emergency power outages in regions where it exists and still remain without power supply. according to the reports of the regional administration, the region was attacked with 15 rockets due to the strikes, electricity remained close to 90% of lviv, what is the situation there as of this hour, will ask the mayor of lviv, andrii sadovoi, mr. andrii, i welcome you on the air. well, the first question how is the city now, is there electricity in the residences of lviv residents, i can see behind you, it is dark, i am walking around the city, as of today, approximately 60% of the residents of our city have electricity, all

services are working, and we want to fully restore the city's electricity supply by morning. at the moment, 65% of the city has a centralized water supply for residents. i think that in the morning, if everything is fine with the electricity, everyone will also have water. such a backup option, this is one of the largest attacks on lviv during all these months of the war, because these were targeted strikes on the infrastructure, and you know what struck me was the position of the lviv residents, it caused only anger, hatred for the aggressors, and people teeth and everyone has a fairly tough

position. today, i did not buy a field in our country, and tomorrow the children will have school holidays, but the teachers will be in the school premises, that is, parents will be able to send children to school if necessary, and kindergartens will work in in such a regular mode, all emergency services work all night long, many thanks to the mensniks and workers of all energy companies of communal services. for us, this is a serious challenge, but it will not break us, it will only make us stronger, but you already talked about water supply, yes, the lack of electricity is practically always also means problems with communication, movement, heat, as well as with this in lviv, and in general, does the mobile connection work, the internet, etc. of course, there were some interruptions, but now in most of the communication is already present on

water supply, we have built an alternative system of supplying electricity to the substation of the vodokanal, which actually works all day today, but now we are already starting to reconnect our substations to the centralized power supply. that is, we have done a large enough amount of homework so that lviv residents are in security, but i emphasize once again the attack is very serious and many services will need to rethink the situation, i mean in terms of preparing for winter because if such strikes were winter time and the temperature would be minus, it would be much more difficult, as you know, we are planning to build a heating point in every shelter of the city of lviv, suitable stoves. sorry, firewood, but there are no other means that give a 100% guarantee. i think that we

will survive this difficult time normally, because fear is the weapon of the aggressor and which he wants to use. it only gets the opposite effect, just like today the president had a conversation with the chancellor of germany and the big seven are going. i think that there will be new arrivals of high-precision weapons to us anti-missile defense systems are needed, and the sooner we get these weapons, the less damage the enemy can inflict on us because they lose on the battlefield, they just shoot missiles and, unfortunately, we still do not have a sufficient number of anti-missile e-e defense systems, and we need it today the whole world will see this thank you it was the mayor of lviv andriy you take care of yourself and have a peaceful evening and night of this best and that's all we have time to talk about today, look for more history on

our website bbc.ua and on our pages at on social networks, turn on our program tomorrow exactly at 9:00 in the evening, have a calm and quiet evening to all of you. take care of yourself. vietnamese balm, star, the first step in the treatment of colds is a proven medicine, not a cosmetic mixture. we will be healthy. ask vietnamese pharmacies. trust only proven medicines . no matter what the ukrainians think about, no matter what they talk about , war, war, and on will still come first
