then he said simple but very important words that this war is definitely this winter will definitely be the hardest since the second world war. although neither i nor vitalik klitschko was in the second world war, but we understand roughly this way, so let's get ready to sign up with patience , everyone, if possible, with warm hearts, faith in a strong heart with a strong psyche. we must survive this winter and win. we simply have no other choice. well , we have no other way. we will either win or disappear into the russians. we have options . thank you for being with us until friday . take care and be safe. bbc news is now for your attention. let's watch it together. good evening. we are from ukraine on the air of bbcinema. my name is hryhoriy zhigalov. water many regions nuclear power plants disconnection

from the grid capital authorities do not rule out the evacuation of part of kyiv and predicts a difficult winter bbc interview with vitaliy klitschko and germany gets rid of gas independence from russia builds terminals for liquefied gas report by dogs russia launched a massive missile attack on the critical infrastructure of ukraine again from strategic aviation planes from ships of the black sea fleet moscow hit 10 here 95 also two small missile boats in total 70 almost 70 cruise missiles 51 of them were shot down by the ukrainian

defense forces in kyiv despite this, high-rise gorillas have been hit in lviv, rivne, kharkiv, they report that chernihiv and kharkiv regions are completely without power, local authorities say there is no electricity supply in khmelnytskyi and zaporizhzhia local residents about the lack of electricity in odesa , mykolaiv, the mayor of lviv, sadnyi, reported that the entire city was left without electricity, as well as from the disconnection system of all power units of the khmelnytskyi and southern ukrainian nuclear power plants. before that, there was a large-scale air alarm in ukraine. president zelenskyi in his address said that all services are working to restore electricity supply as soon as possible after the russian shelling in some areas of kyiv there is no light in the capital, also the water supply has been completely stopped and in communication now with the ukrainian zhanna bezpyachuk joins me in the capital, zhanno, let's start with the situation in the capital, what's

happening there now, when they promise to restore electricity and water, did people mostly have time to stock up on water, was it on time, uh, yes, grigory, what can i say? power is currently cut off. according to the latest data from the kyiv city state administration, about 80% of the city is cut off, and most of the city remains without water supply, according to mayor vitaliy klychka, the water can be restored by the experts themselves he said that it is very difficult to

predict, because even the repairmen themselves the next morning are now working on restoring the supply of mains water to the houses in kyiv . days plus or minus these are the time frames called for the restoration of water supply. as for electricity, it is also true that in some homes it was missing for eight or nine hours today. i know from the people who live on the left bank of kyiv that people have now stocked up on light in their homes , and some people have been left without it for half a day, it’s been going on for so long, that’s why this situation is so small. the whole composition of the situation that attacks on the power system of kyiv and the country may be repeated, in general, there are queues for

bottled water in some stores , supermarkets, but in general, there is no panic, and there are no long queues for water, kiev the recommendations of the authorities are mostly, and in general, there is such a hope that the supply will be restored quite quickly in the city of zhanna, one of the rockets hit a residential building. - from kyiv, the fact that there was quite serious destruction, the main part of the game, that there were minor communication problems, but i think that i heard an elderly girl. so, regarding the dead , the city authorities of kyiv confirmed the death of three

people in kyiv in the very place of the intervening yesins hit or silence, did you see the burning of the car, it is probably about the death of people, that is the place where either the wreckage of the rocket or the rocket itself is at the top of vyshgorod, then in uzhhorod a house was on fire, again, we do not know what happened, that the rocket sowed a cruise missile into the residential building - that's four pullenkas, he confirmed whether it was the fragments of the rocket that fell there, but the house and the office were on fire, he said that five people were killed in it, uh, journalists were not allowed there after this tragedy happened. that's why it's difficult now, something more uh, people saved each other, uh, in total , more than 30 people were injured there, uh, it is known that 11 people were injured in kyiv, the capital also passed, and

ten people were hospitalized after that, in general, in ukraine, at the moment, uh, it is said that eight people are here is the last number of the correspondent of the sheep , zhanna bezpidchuk. thank you very much, my colleague, despite the technical difficulties. i understand that now it is actually technically surprising to have a direct connection from kyiv , we managed to establish this connection, this is very important . thank you, wife bezpechuk, a bbc correspondent. protects himself in the connector, head vitaliy klitschko omits that a part of the residents of kyiv will have to be evacuated if the electricity situation worsens and it gets very cold outside in general, the capital is one of the most difficult situations in the country, a city of a million well, of millions, it regularly faces the disconnection of light water, but how is the city government preparing to the most difficult winter since the second world war interview with klitschko further on in the program we are

now an assistant gives light in your apartment there is probably light yes but unfortunately many kyivans are forced to sit for hours without light without electricity how do you know that there is always light here and in my apartment it is always here forever if well, i think this is your office, so it should be provided first of all the same conditions exist and are excluded, there is no exception to the critical objects of the life support of the city, in your opinion, this situation will continue for a long time to guarantee that we will pass this winter without emergency situations related to shelling. we cannot. we are calculating different scenarios the development of events and we do not exclude the worst scenario of the development of events when there is a complete lack of

electricity supply, water supply, etc. and we must be ready and know what in this case, if there is a bad scenario, we should do in order to ensure the life of the activity. in order to provide services, some of the public he advises officials, for example, to leave for the winter there to affect the houses with some heating or in general for the corridor , what is your advice just in case it will not interfere if you have supplies of technical water at home, drinking water at home, if there is food, warm things that you will be able to prepare in the event of a full cloud, that is when we cannot and the destruction of the heating system, water supply, electricity supply may occur. we hope that it will not happen. everyone had already

made arrangements in the suburbs of kyiv to calculate such a scenario to spend some time there, well, that is, i understand correctly from your words that if the evacuation of the so-called evacuation is not provided for, and er, i don't know where to evacuate us. if we can find more convenient places that we can spend some time there, this is one of the er, one question from the task , er, in fact, about these shellings. everyone must understand the task of the russians to we had a panic and depression so that we all took and evacuated one day it would be better for everyone to take off and go to europe, leave the territory, this will not happen. can he assure us that we see the city of mykolaiv kharkiv where there will be special stops, as in fact the bomb shelters are ground in kyiv, well, at least i

i didn't notice a lot of work, and it was about the construction of new flights. the fact is that it is necessary to build real or mandatory ones, which requires sufficiently large losses, first of all, financial resources, therefore, it is necessary to make a new decision we use dual- purpose premises, underground parking lots, deep basements , are being adapted into a bomb shelter, to build er stops, which you said as a shelter to whom, it does not meet the criteria of a bomb shelter and cannot, given the difficult situation now, all the money even city ​​money is going to the defense, er, to build a storage facility , this is the moment when the economic situation in the country is very difficult. no, there is no point , christmas and new year holidays will start

in a month. celebrations in the center of kyiv during wartime will be strange if there are any mass celebrations meetings that are actually for defense for security reasons in the first place but nevertheless we are more holidays and christmas and new year er even war on cancels, that is, the main christmas tree will be so saturated with their symbolic christmas tree, there will definitely be a new year, christmas, and children of which there are enough in our city, and i appeal to everyone to celebrate these holidays, and it will be necessary for the family circle to color at home, but nevertheless, symbolically, christmas trees will be located and on sofiyivska square and will be located there in key places of excerpts of our

city and we will talk more about how ukraine and europe in general will get through this winter with us, an expert on energy issues, the president olena pavlenko of the analytical center of the dixie group. i congratulate you, olena, and let me. i want to start, you know, from europe, and then we will move on to ukraine. explain why. i remember how in the spring russian propagandists scared europe . prepared for gas in europe, so far the problems are minimal, but to what extent these preparations will be enough for the whole winter, uh, you spent the european union very seriously taking all russian threats and uh, very well prepared for the gas winter storage facilities are more than 90% full, the european union is experiencing certain problems with

electricity supply, and there are some issues with the start-up of nuclear power plants in france, nevertheless, the european union is ready for winter and definitely not because of the russian factor, if there are any problems it's definitely not because of russia, uh, i think that europe is ready to go through the winter in full until spring, uh, if you see the gas prices in the world in europe, they have started to fall. it is because of the fact that such readiness exists, and then i think closer to spring the countries of the european union will think about how to prepare for the next season, the next season may be more difficult because as you know, on march 15, by march 15 of next year, all eu countries must increase their gas supply even more and prepare to give up russian gas altogether. this means that it must they must replace this gas other sources or be ready to simply consume less gas and the task is difficult, but judging by

the way the european union is preparing for its implementation, i think he will succeed and we will see about what russians, what will the russians ask to buy gas , russian gas, if only a little bit, in the european union, yes, and here is an interesting question: will the russians be able to find sales markets for their gas and oil, including because the eu and the big seven already have almost agreed on price restrictions for russian oil and at the beginning of december the restrictions will begin to take effect but but we will talk about it if there is time, but now about ukraine it seems that ukraine will not be able to do without the help of western europe this winter, are there any possibilities realistically assess the situation. yes, in europe , i don’t know how to help ukraine with electricity, gas. now we see problems with gazprom again, and if so,

what are the realistic expectations here? we talked about the fact that 40% of the energy infrastructure in ukraine was damaged due to strikes, now it is already 50% or more, and pay attention, russia is trying to kill strikes on the energy infrastructure, it is trying to separate energy-deficient areas from energy surplus, i.e. create a complete imbalance by desynchronizing the energy system itself, that is why even if some, for example, nuclear plants can generate enough electricity physically due to the damaged infrastructure, it is difficult for it to deliver this electricity to energy-deficit areas . equipment, it is very important to us that european countries

and other partners supply us with transformers and other high-voltage equipment in order for ukrenergo and other energy companies could restore the energy infrastructure very quickly, then theoretically we will be able to go through the replacement normally even with our generation. the second part is also important and the second important element. we will install them and then the next day their rockets will be destroyed again, of course it will be extremely difficult for everyone to find and supply replacements the third moment yes, the european union can supply electricity to ukraine. let me remind you that from june to october, ukraine sold electricity to the european union. now it may be the opposite. tests of such supplies have already been carried out. the only thing is that it is unlikely that the european union can

supply electricity. it will be incredibly necessary to balance the system. well, we have literally a minute left. i understand that there is a need for equipment, and it is in general. there is this equipment on the market. you are right, there is that equipment. which can be installed very quickly, these are smaller transformers of lower voltage, there are transformers that are very large, let's say high-voltage ones, it is very difficult to find them on the market, these are still soviet-type transformers, there is equipment that needs to be produced, and here it is very important that the manufacturers agree first of all, to produce this equipment for ukraine and other customers behaved to step aside and it is also a very big task for the countries and for and for the customers of the company to organize such and such production in the shortest possible time thank you very much

during your time , olena pavlenko, an expert on energy issues and the president of the dixigroup analytical center, well , one of the countries most affected by this was germany. - gas reserves but also to build its first terminal for imported liquefied gas and on it took 200 days with details axis correspondent jenny gill germany seeks energy after independence, the country, which in the past fed on cheap russian gas, needs to kill sources of supply, so german engineers in a record short time created the country's first terminal for the import of liquefied gas

. gas will be supplied to the network and then to german homes and businesses otherwise, heat the furnace up to the required 2000°c here, if there is no gas, we have to close the furnace, it is not just the fault of the politicians, the industry needs russian gas contracts, there is hope, of course, that in the future we will be able to work with the green energy of hydrogen, but it will take time, germany is an economic heavyweight, what does this country want that often and receives, and a new appetite for liquefied natural gas increases global demand for open and the body of a number of countries, especially those that are developing, which are pushed out of the market and can no longer obtain the necessary

energy, first of all. these are those who have less purchasing power than europeans, especially than germans. here, they were preparing for a harsh winter, and the gas storages are full, so this christmas, power outages are unlikely. liquefied gas, which will go to pilgerms khatana, will provide 8% of the country's needs, but what about the fighters for a more ecological future ? grandiose plans are being heard in the local town hall, and this is, as they say, only the beginning of the kansier, many energy innovations must be carried out in order for our planet to acquire a climate for life 50 or 100 years from now, and much of what needs to be done in germany starts with wilhelm zgafn himself. germany is trying to build five

more liquefied natural gas terminals at a cost of more than $6 billion. the parliament recognized russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and the state as carrying out here i quote non-selective attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in ukraine as a result what has already killed thousands of people in the occupied territories, the russians, again, in accordance with the text of the resolution, carry out quote executions without trial and investigations carry out kidnappings, sexual violence, torture and other atrocities were also mentioned about the mass murders in buch irpen, izyum , talimania, as well as the attacks on the mariupol theater and the railway station i will remind you that kramatorsk was previously recognized as a terrorist state by the parliamentary

assembly of nato countries and called for the creation of a special international tribunal on the russian aggression and for the first time since the beginning of the war, britain will provide ukraine with siting helicopters. this was reported by the british minister of defense bon voice. one of the helicopters has already arrived in ukraine. during the last six weeks, the ukrainian crew was trained in great britain to pilot and maintain these king aircraft. well, in general, they are intended for search and rescue, these helicopters were previously in service with the royal air force and the navy, until now few western countries provided manned aircraft to ukraine the authorities of ukraine continue to ask their allies for fighter jets or attack helicopters, but so far these requests remain unanswered. britain systematically supports ukraine in the first attack on russia. it is the second largest donor of military

aid to ukraine after the united states. well, the new aid package also contains 10,000 artillery shells per in the words of volos, the kit should help the armed forces of ukraine to protect the recently liberated territories, we are sending helicopters to the city because this is one of the requests ukrainians. they will use them for the logistical support of the transportation of the wounded and everything for which helicopters of this type were supposed to be used in similar conflicts. these helicopters were used in such environments as northern norway, where they are often sent, and i think this will give them additional opportunities and with us on communication military expert petro čarnyka i congratulate you thank you for taking the time to join our broadcast i want to start we will talk about military aid but i want to begin with the situation on the front line, the general staff today reports on russian offensives in several areas of donetsk region, luhansk region, what we know about what

is happening there, how difficult or possibly threatening the situation is. well, the war is a different situation, and we must realize that this war has begun and the recognition of the luhansk and people's data and the donetsk people's republic, therefore, after a series of defeats, first of all, after the brilliant ukrainian kharkiv operation and also the no less brilliant kherson operation, the enemy must show wants some dynamics on the front line and will try to press precisely on the eastern bridgehead, this is completely logical, plus i have to remind you that this war is 95% an artillery war and a truck with five tons of shells does not get to the front line, you have to hold a large railway junction from bakhmut to debaltseve within 40 km of the range of its volley fire systems, the ukrainian ones reach and work along these logistics centers, the

enemy simply needs to move our artillery lines as far as possible, in my opinion at the moment, he does not quite succeed in this, even a few kilometers deep into the ukrainian defense, they cannot advance, but the enemy cannot be underestimated in any way. practically 300,000 new group is the third largest. the 25,000 that led me out of the right bank of the kherson region are also ready and will be used in battles. it will not go home, but at the moment there is a kind of fiery balance. no, we do not have large neither counteroffensive actions nor the enemy can carry them out in this state, we were in may , the beginning of september this year, until we organized

the brilliant kharkiv operation, about which i already said that i am sure that the next high-quality operations will definitely be from the ukrainian side, and what can change this e -equilibrium, and this is what is new the group you talked about, what is it, what is it, what is its potential, let's say yes, is it mostly mobilized, what is it, after several weeks of preparation, how much can they change the situation in the direction of the enemy it is not at all worth looking at how many of them there are , and this is actually a huge problem and we will have to deal with them and what can change the situation from our side, you yourself have already touched on this issue in this program this issue is aviation aviation and once again aviation i am a huge ardent supporter of such american of aviation complexes is s16 f15 although let’s say the same euro typhoon fighter where does it enter

as a developer and great britain can also be useful to us plus the germans have a good tornado plane or even the swedish crappie can be in the french e-e airborne assault rifles, including the a10 tenderbol or any other attack aircraft, including helicopters, can actually turn the tide of this war. $100 million for the training of ukrainian pilots was allocated by the us congress in june. i hope that everything is huge the pile of money will be implemented on target and sooner or later qualitatively, well, this will now turn the tide of the war, it will reach the ukrainian soldiers, but still, aviation is not given in ukraine so far, so the first thing that they gave in general is that it flies manned here are these british helicopters, but you know what i paid attention to when i read about these helicopters

, they were decommissioned in 2018 in britain itself, why do ukraine have old decommissioned glucometers? especially since these are all king. i understand that they are not combat. do you know that? the first swallow and so on and there will be more. well, i don’t always share your point of view that they are written off. aviation also has small nuances. at one time, the czech republic, literally a few months ago, handed over almost its entire fleet on the 29th, so, as they say, the ice has broken and the first swallows in the aviation sector have appeared, and there cannot be any equipment that will be superfluous in this war, even second-hand british helicopters, which must be brought to a high-quality technical condition, will perform their work, because not only the weapons

that are below the enemy are important, but also the rear, including logistical support, because winter is coming. absolutely everything related to the supply and fuel and burning of lubricants and most importantly the rescue of our wounded may thank you very much peter we have to put an end to this i hope to see you on the air and talk about the new aid packages that's all for today more search stories on our bbc website dot on our social media pages we are back on air tomorrow at 21:00 take care
