seek safety further from the front lines that cross over to our correspondent nick connelly and keith i. nick, give us more details if you can, on the latest rush and strikes across ukraine was definitely seems to be one of those days of mass attacks across all of ukraine's territory. that the kind of normal pattern will be that the government is pretty st kind of sparse on detail for the 1st couple of hours. not wanting to give the russians to get an idea of how successful they've been in case that allows them then to focus yet more strikes on the a successful hit. but we do get a sense. this is, as has been the case all along in recent weeks, months attacked many on the power and heating infrastructure regarding reports of a heating power plant here and key of hit also of a hit to a residential building. they were not sure yet that that was the russian massage itself, or if that was a mr. maybe that was shot down by ukraine's air defense. certainly here and here we were getting a la carte. heard some very noisy bangs above us near here in central give em. it's very difficult to tell if that

at earlier i asked r keith, correspondent, nick on the how difficult that's proven to be with stephanie getting more difficult . i think the 1st few times these russian attacks on the power system happened. who's pretty extraordinary. how resilient ukraine in it, so thought is turned out to be basically within space of a day each time you have more or less a returned to normal. there were some planned outages, but the kind of emergency outages were normally dealt with. and that is now becoming a whole lot more difficult. we've heard from the authorities here. they basically run out of spare parts. so if, as expected, rush to continue with these attacks, the only way to repair the system will be with exclusively foreign supplied parts. now there are also some questions about where the foreign parts will fit the ukraine system, whether they're kind of technical compatibility issues there. and even this morning we saw about half a 1000000 households in care of her in the dark, not according to the time table, just kind of technical glitches there. and people are really starting to kind of

and i spoke to a correspondent and keith nick connelly earlier. i asked him why president pearson was nowhere to be seen when the withdrawal mountain was made. well, certainly this is typical puts in whenever this bad news to present to the russian people he is nowhere to be seen. and we don't know where exactly he spent the last few days. he's will see very cagey about his security. but we have seen basically the kind of political responsibility for this move being delegated. firstly, it's a defense minister said geisha go and also to a general sort of each in the man in charge of the war hearing ukraine. and it kind of was even clear a couple, couple weeks ago that sort of, you can one of many people to be in charge of operation. there's been kind of huge rotation. lots of generals being fired, that he was being kind of built up and prepared. and kind of introduced the russian public as someone with authority to then bear the kind of political responsibility of this basically, unavoidable move as for you know, how it's actually playing out. and w

i asked our correspondent, nick conley in, keith. well, as usual, phil, the ukrainian military authorities keeping pretty tight lipped about the kind of occupational situation on the ground. we heard from the defense minister with that prediction about it taking a week. but, you know, given the kind of very nervous and sometimes in panicked kind of messages, reports were getting from pro kremlin military bloggers over the last few hours of the night. which seems to jeff as a kind of total collapse in russian morale and russian logistics in and around capstone. but the command has taken all the kind of big equipment bits of kit away to the other bank of the river, the kind of anti aircraft defenses. basically leaving lots of the russians, they are very vulnerable to ukrainian artillery and drone attacks. this could end up going foster of c will remember that the ukrainians have been very nervous and rich days. but this might have been a trap, some kind of provocation, to lure the ukrainians in and then see them face pretty stiff resis

they repair anything, the russians we back with the, for the strike that was des, nick connelly reporting from keith. i want to pull in now bran bowman. he's the senior director for the center on military and political power at the foundation for the defense of democracy. he joins me tonight, washington dc. it's good to see you again. brad. we heard there from the secretary general at nato, saying that putting is weaponized winter. we know that you can't fire missiles that mother nature, but ukraine could fire more missiles to defend its own air space from russian strikes. is that where we're headed? thanks to the option to join you. thanks for the question. yeah, there's no doubt, you know, putin is used a food as a weapon or war. now he's using winter. i think the secretary nato secretary general set it right. he wants ukrainians without water, without electricity, without heat, without light to try to demoralize them to break their will. to. so they stop defending their homes against this unprovoked invasion. and i think it's in nato's interests and interests of all free people everywhere to help th

earlier i spoke to nick connelly who filed that report. he's back in keith now, but i asked him what he witness during his reporting in the house on reaching let's say extraordinary thing while you were in san, in the city, in the capital of the region. and you had ukraine flags everywhere you had shops, reopening people standing in long, long lines to refuel their cause of, you know, talk to members of their family where there was mobile phone coverage. at same time, there were very, very loud bangs, everywhere in the city. some of those route going, but all of them were incoming from the russian forces, just a few kilometers away across the other bank of the need for a river. and there's definitely a sense that those attacks are getting more intense by the day. there was a bit of a kind of lull the 1st few days. i think the russian troops were basing a bit of a shock that it all happened so quickly that the ukrainians come in with such force . and now they are gradually increasing their attacks. they are attacking, you know, big infrastructure, but also ci

currently joining us tonight from keith nick, as always, thank you. i want to take the story now to mike martin. he is a former british army officer and a senior visiting research fellow with the department of war studies. king's college london was good to see you again. so here we are now on this friday. we've got here. so on is in the hands of the ukrainian army. is this the turning point? that many people who have been pulling for ukraine have been hoping to see i think robin describe as a turning point. this is another milestone. so we had to put out from, keep in april, we had the operations in khaki, whether you creating a huge way, the terrace you back from the russians. this is the 3rd major failure of the russian forces, all major gain for the ukrainians. and it, it really, since may the ukrainians have been taking texture of the russian se, and they will continue to do so. it might remind our viewers why is here? so why is it so strategically important to her son is a, was, i should say, the only regional capital that was under the control of

and here i asked our correspondent, nick conley, his in keith, if ukrainians are feeling that russian attacks might now be slowing down. i think people here are not rushing to come to that conclusion. they're still too fearful that more is to come. it is true that over the last month has been this pattern of extra irregularity with russia checking ukraine's energy system or during the night from sunday to monday is if people make the joke here is if they're trying to please their boss is coming in to work on a monday morning as kind of dark humor that prevails here. that hasn't happened this week. but it still seems like russia is deafening out to basically compensate for its lack of success on the battlefield by attacking the infrastructure that keeps people's lives going far away from the front lines. and there are reports that are more hearing in weapons, are heading towards russia that russia is trying to build up, become stuck, or weapons of missiles to then potentially attack ukraine on a much bigger scale than has been the case in which leaks to real sense that this is still ve

i go to not a big complex to push on gears a little bit. what keith about ownership initially, but i'm wondering if i could go to nick or some nash motor, but i did some work with people go to my job was question. it was a noise engine that i did. so i need really knowing that i had a cold but she she, i needed to put it here. i mean plenty to put my children. that isn't pressure over . fema is still got the order. and if the wife doesn't with national, if he's pretty well known, a new owner, what did you just pay me a woman that you were doing? i mean, you paid for over a year with dr. one thought way, number l a senior year, but i mean you are seeing an elementary. they were all grades are human, they book about a year lease. i wonder if i don't care what he jesse more accurately. yes. i've even come to you. i work with our with closer food. yeah. it was always to relate to the russian leader. it was with sol during the salaries dime in style and now it's within because as the for so for so for joe politically to win, the mos told russia is the most for so for the way. so it's a good time for worship. because if your cellphone is told, th

c. connelly. joining us tonight from keith nick, as always, thank you. earlier i spoke to mike martin, he's a former british army officer. he's now with the department of war studies at kings college one did and i asked him where this war is heading now. i think was described as a turning point. this is another milestone. so we had to put out from keep in april, we had the operations in hockey, whether you creating a huge fight the terrace you back from the russians. this is the 3rd major failure of the russian forces, all major game for the ukrainians and it, it really, since may the ukrainians have been taking texture of the russian site and they will continue to do so. it might remind our viewers why is here. so why is it so strategically important? yes, on is a was, i should say, the only regional capsule that was under the control of the russians. your view is, may remember that it was one of the 4 regions that was annexed by pete. since i brought it legally, according to the russians, is parts of russia. and it was taken in the, the 1st 2 days of the war and

and we can talk now till i dw correspondent in keith's neck. conley and nick, it's, it's unimaginable what the, the relatives of the missing are going through, and also such difficult work demanded of the recovery teams. several mass graves have been discovered so far in ukraine, but presumably only a fraction of the dead and missing. and ukraine have been identified that's definitely the case and there are no really kind of conclusive numbers on how many people are still on accounted for them. all. the databases are pretty different to one of those, no real understanding of where the true figures lie and the expectation is that the numbers the confirm numbers will still rise as landmines are basically dealt with. that's the big issue. lots of forest areas, lots of kind of places are that people took to trying to flee from the fighting, trying to get to ukraine hill territory. they are still out of bounds and too dangerous to check. so there's your, when you talk to people in these villages who coming back to their houses for the 1st time after the, at the end of the russian occupatio

i legally ceased in 2014. and from all we can bring a correspondent, nick conley, who is in keith nick, and we've seen his russian announcement on national t v, announcing the withdrawal from her son. but president putin was nowhere to be seen . was he, i mean, wet? where was he and should we believe what was being said anyhow, anyhow? well certainly this is typical puts in whenever this bad news to present to the russian people he is nowhere to be seen. and we don't know where exactly he spent the last few days. he's also very cagey about his security, but we have seen basically the kind of political responsibility for this move being delegated. firstly, to defense minister said geisha go and also to a general sort of, he can the man in charge of the war hearing ukraine. and it kind of was even clear, couple weeks ago that sort of, he can one of many people to be in charge operation has been kind of huge rotation . lots of generals being fired, that he was being kind of built up and prepared and kind of introduce the russian public as someone with authority to then bear the kind of political responsibility of th

keith correspond. nick connelly, tell us more about what makes russian retreat from his own so significant. i mean, the thing here is that the for the song is basically that was the only area of ukraine west, the need for a river that russia had taken hold over. let me see, allowed them to constantly threaten ukraine's access to the see ports like odessa micheler people might have heard of them is the great deal sending ukraine's food exports to the world. and they were under constant threat from russian artillery russian missile attacks. and that is now going to be that much more difficult for russia to do. ukraine has secured its access to will trade to kind of secure it's going to me. but this is also crucial that basically the ukraine stress she has paid off, rather than sending lots of troops to die, kind of throwing them at the russian front lines. as has been the tactic that the russians seem to be using with the newly mobilized troops. ukraine has basically methodically gone about, depriving russian troops of the supply lines, destroying bridges, destroying pontoon bridges, and basica
