soldiers are hanging on, but at a devastating cost we can speak now to rum and going to ranko from d w's russia and eastern europe service roman. hi, there. russian attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure. let's talk about that. a we seeing a kind of a new strategy here of russia turning away from attacking ukrainian troops, military targets, and instead heating ukraine's civilian home front. well, it's definitely a new approach and both things are happening. so the fighting on the front line along the front line continues as russia is waiting for those hundreds of thousands of men mobilized in the recent fix to get prepared to start in your assault, we don't know how long it will take, probably a few weeks and then russia would start again and major offensive, and you do not know when and we do not know where, but it is preparing. at the same time, russia have just covered that, the grain in power and just infrastructure can be relatively easily with drones. and we have seen made some major attacks nearly every day and they take on saturday was very devastating to the grand and power grid l

i asked you w, russia, analyst robin controlling co well, there are reasons for both to be worried and not to be worried. first, these drills come, this is not a surprise. russia normally does such drills in autumn in october, and the western countries were warned about them. so and observe us, we're expecting something like this to happen because of the war in ukraine, because the situation is tense and russia using its nuclear power to threaten the western to ukraine. so it is not surprising at all. on the other hand, the war has been going on in ukraine for over 8 months now. everybody is a very under pressure, including the russian military. so you cannot exp exclude it in such a situation, something may go wrong. this was not a nuclear test, it was a test of missiles capable of carrying and nuclear nuclear warheads. but still, these are strategic weapons and they are very, very dangerous. and one thing that which makes me worry is that last time i did this was in february just a few days before the invasion of ukraine. so it could be kind of a signal to the west that russia is pre

what you're sure a here last d, w, russia, analysts, roman, got ranko, whether it's likely a weapon of this type would be used in this war. well, i would say it is extremely unlikely for several reasons. ukraine wouldn't do it because it would mean a lot of civilian casualties. and it would mean that western partners of ukraine would be very critical of it. so ukraine would not risk for destroying relations with those countries with united states 1st to war and other countries. nuclear powers like france or united kingdom. so i think it is on the ukrainian side extremely unlikely, but it is also unlikely, i think on the russian side, because it would hit a civilian population, it could hit russian soldiers. and it would of course, mean a reaction from the west, probably more sanctions or more weapons to ukraine. so russian wouldn't nothing of it. i think there is a very small probability that russia might try to use it as a false flag operation. but that probability is rather low, i would say ok, so why make the claims then, why is russia making these claims if it's in no one's interes

w, russia analyst, run and gone to ranko, how the last few days might affect support for the war within russia. it is important to say that we do not have the scientific data reliable data on the northern rushing, the russian society. the pulls that we had in the past weeks suggest the majority of russians support this war, a relative majority. and demobilization that presently mcnaughton started a few weeks ago. he's not so popular as he would have expected. we see that we've hundreds of russian men leaving the country trying to escape from that village ation. so that a clear indication there is, there is a problem with his plan to record more men to fight against your brain as to the events of the last days. i would say my personal opinion is that the society is getting more and more polarized. so people who supported this war before their support is growing, and people who are skeptical or maybe opposing this war, their opposition is also growing. but that opposition is relatively small. in their society. so i would suggest that in the coming weeks it will depend on how the situation

now i put that question to w's russia. analysts roman gun to ranko. well, i think there are 2 possible reasons. one, and i think this is the major reason. russia would like to talk to western officials again about this war and negotiate some kind of a ceasefire. russia desperately needs time, maybe a few weeks until the mobilization that is now underway in russia and will actually succeed. so it needs time to prepare its soldiers for the next assault in ukraine. and or it also needs to try again and maybe put the west under pressure not to deliver certain types of weapons to ukraine. and the best way to do so is to signal in nuclear disaster and this is, this is it's working. it worked in the past and it's working now as the russian defense minister talked to his western counterparts. and i wish see if, if this helps, if there is any, and if there will be any negotiation issue. and the 2nd reason, maybe it's a propaganda. so if you say to on russian television, it's topic number one on monday. and if you say your crane is preparing to go nuclear, of co

are chief political correspond melinda crane, anti w's, russia analyst, roman, gone to rank u. s. presidential biden says the risk of nuclear armageddon is at its highest since the cuban missile crisis of the 19 sixty's. mister biden warned that russian leda vladimir putin is not joking when he talks about using nuclear weapons following heavy losses on the battlefield in ukraine. in the latest incident, a russian missile strike destroys an apartment building of the southern city of support as yet. it came as russian forces lost more ground to ukraine's counter offensive in the south and east gutted by russian rockets. here in zer, parisha, rescue workers search the rubble for missing residence. local official say several people were killed while moore had been hospitalized. after the initial dawn attack, fire fighters headed to the scene. but a 2nd salvo, st. locals running for cover. as well as rescue workers. president zalinski condemned the strikes was of but easier. be separate in that original. after the 1st rocket strike to day when people came to pick apart, the rebel r

well, i asked the t w. russia and list konstantin edgar. how the last few days might affect support for the war within russia? well, i don't think you can speak about support or decrease and supports ah, as such short notice, ah, wanting for sure is that's a when pu tune announced a partial mobilization, which turns out to be, i think, pretty much general on the 21st of september. he brought this war into the russians living groups before that that was just war on television or in the evening. now it is going to affect more and more people over time. so the crimea bridge, that was, of course, a very, a very, very significant b r. star for you. great. but you know, as, as you see from the also, as i don't think they're pretty re, pretty much reflecting the attitude. people just do not realize that it's russia are taking you crime that the crimea wasn't russian. and it is, it was an annexation 8 years ago. so i think we're dealing with a public opinion which still refuses to face reality, and it will take time. and i'm afraid really a lot of

i asked rahman gunter and co from d w's russia and eastern europe service. what it would mean if the staff were destroyed? well 2 things would happen 1st and we could have very many civilian casualties. probably kind of solven's, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians could be affected. it gives you populated area and is flawed. we don't know how high maybe one, maybe 2 meters high now will more than 80 and places like smaller villages, smaller towns and the studio persona. so. so we haven't seen anything like this in ukraine or in the former soviet union. so it will be a huge catastrophe. of course, there will be also consequences for the energy supply because there is a power. this is a power plant, and there could be consequences for the atomic power plant. so the, the stream and which is also important for russia, there could be consequences for that can now, which is providing water from the priority, but to the korean peninsula. and it's by russia in 2014. so russia actually has no interest in blowing up. and militarily, this is the 2nd aspect, this would

well, ilia, i spoke with roman, gone to ranko from d, w. russia, and eastern europe service. and i asked him if the attacks on ukraine's civilian infrastructure infrastructure mocked a change in strategy for russia. well, it's definitely a new approach and both things are happening. so the floating on the front line along the front line continues as russia is waiting for those hundreds of thousands men mobilized in the recent fix to get prepared start in your assault, we don't know how long it will take, probably a few weeks. and then russia could start again, major offensive, and you do not know when and we do not know where, but it is preparing. at the same time, russia just did the grain in power. and just infrastructure can be relatively easily heat with drones. and we have seen made some major attacks nearly every day, and the tech on saturday was very devastating to the ukraine and power grid, leaving more than a 1000000 people with our tricity. and as we've just caught in the report, and if russia continues on this bos, boston, then the ukranian power grid will be on th

well, is pulling now the w's, russia, analysts, roman, going to lingo. it's good to see you, roman. clearly you've got some divided opinions on the streets there in moscow. but how do you think these past few days have affected support for the war in ukraine among russians? well, it is important to say that we do not have some scientific data reliable data on the 1000000 rushing, the russian society. the poles that we had in the past weeks suggested the majority of russian support. this war a relative majority. and the mobilization that president let him important started a few weeks ago. he's not so popular at heat as he would have expected. or we see that, or we've hundreds of russian men leaving the country trying to escape from that vocalization. so that's a clear indication. there is, there is a problem with his plan to record more men to fight against your brain as to the events of the last days. i would say my personal opinion is that the society is getting more and more polarized. so people who supported this war before their support is growing,

welcome to the w. russia has launched a sustained air campaign, striking critical infrastructure and population centers. what's moscow game plan here? i think most groups trying to, on the one hand, to sort of terrorize the population, but as being part of moscow strategy from almost the very beginning of these military invasion, trying to sort of subdue people to finally try to give up on stock. they sort of counter offend, saves on, to press the government to reach some kind of negotiated settlement. and also trying to destroy the ability of, of ukraine to carry out a military operation by destroying essentially infrastructure which is necessary. and not only for the survival of the population on the running of the economy, but also for the functioning of the military infrastructure on the system to carry on with the military counter offensive. so i think the, these elements are both coming together, but we'll let them are zalinski has already said that he won't be forced to the negotiating table. we have been seeing more use of the so called coming kazi drones could that have a de

w. c. it is intolerable that russia repeatedly uses the b w c's mechanisms to criticize him. national assistance, which is encouraged under article 10, a cornerstone of this convention. we know better than ever that cross border cooperation is essential in strengthening our collective resilience to biological threats. it is therefore imperative that we speak out forcefully and resolutely against attempts to falsely framed peaceful cooperation and assistance activities as a form of non compliance president over the last month, russia has made numerous allegation that ukraine is planning military operations that involve chemical, biological, or radioactive material but let me say again, russia's war against rock. ukraine is a blatant violation of international law and the very principles of the you and charter. let me end by underscoring again that normally condemned to russia's war against ukraine. we condemn russia. we demand russia hall fighting with joy troops immediately and stop causing this suffering and destruction. thank you miss. i thank the representative of norway for her statement, an

several eastern european countries including moscow, plus our very own roman, gone from ankle, the w's a russia analyst joining us from the w's bon headquarters. oh, well come to you. all it says start with is put in, keeps escalating the referendum shamrock random's. we have to say nuclear threats, annexations and e, possibly even sabotage of gas pipeline, even though that's not confirmed. so let's talk about the pipelines for a moment. and i'd like to start with you roman, in which way would russia benefit from blowing up these pipelines? well, i guess there are just a few points how russia could benefit benefit from with the most obvious is this a sense gas prices am sky high or the are high now extremely high and they're still getting even higher and higher. so russia will profit from that. i'm not a legal expert, but i think this could lower the pressure on russia to deliver some gas and to fulfill its obligations because russia cannot say, i can say now, well, we don't know what happened. we weren't, we were, it will take time to investigate. we do not know whether we can point and say, f

w. so russia has carried out annual exercises of its new care forces before the war in ukraine. this wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but of course the situation has changed, as we know. how worried those the west me to be. i mean, to be fair, those exercises did raise a bit of an eyebrow against the background of russia, claiming it had no intention of moving on. you crime is clearly part of that ramping up of forces they was doing so it was a surprise. they did them then to send a message if you are following the narrative of conflict. but, but obviously it's very classic them to conduct the final part of an exercise with nuclear drill. and they do it at this time of year. you know, to surprise what we saw, but oversee the timing is the thing here. an hour late to rushes, more nuclear rhetoric and the desire to use nuclear things are threatening fashion to find breaks will be great. just an ukranian forces are advancing into russian occupied hassan and threatening m a major defeat for moscow. how will that affect putin's position at home and his decisions in this conflict? i w

russia has already prepared it. i believe that now the world should react as hoarsely as possible. what you're sure is you. i asked d. w of russia analyst or roman gunshot ankle. why russia is making these claims now? well, i think there are 2 possible reasons. one, and i think this is the major reason. russia would like to talk to western officials again about this war and negotiate some kind of a ceasefire. russia desperately needs time, maybe a few weeks until the mobilization that is now underway in russia and will actually succeed. so it needs time to prepare its soldiers for the next assault in ukraine. and or it also needs to try again and maybe put the west under pressure not to deliver certain types of weapons to ukraine. and the best way to do so is to signal in nuclear disaster. and this is, this is, it's working, it's, it worked in the past and it's working now as the russian defense minister talked to his western counterparts. and i wish we'll see if, if this helps, if there is any, any, if there will be any negotiations in the coming in the coming weeks. because it is very important for our sher, it's a v

what russia is calling a terrorist attack, allegedly organized by ukrainian secret services. ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the last and has called moscow's investigation. not since we d. w. killian by a, joins us now from riga in latvia, and i should add at this point. the dutch villas reporting from russia has been restricted since the russian government shut down on moscow bureau earlier this year. hi, killian, can you tell us more about these arrests we're hearing about well, you've kind of said most of the things that we know now the f as b has come out and actually published. and some very extensive plans of how this attack was actually conducted. how the cargo at the legend bomb was transported then and they said it went from bulgaria into georgia from georgia and to armenia from amana back into georgia, and then across over the russian border. and they also said what was on board apparently, according to them, there were $22.00 wouldn't pallets at with plastic wrapped and inside the plastic were then explosives and around 22000 kilograms heavy. that's what they said. now we should be careful with this information, of course, because it seems they have a conductor

gas prices as well. members, benefiting the european parliament has been debating action against russia. he w, corresponded max xander reports from the european parliament this time around has not adopted a final position on russia's aggression against ukraine yet. but from following the debates of the plenary, it seems evident that across political groups and across party lines, there is an understanding that russians claims to ukraine are illegal. they are null and voided. they don't change any facts on the ground. they're having some very strong statements by me piece some took to the stage to the podium, to call russia a terrorist state. now the common understanding seems to be that sanctions are needed. some political groups have been asking for more. in addition to that, the conservative block, for example, has been calling for weapons deliveries from countries like germany and france to st tanks to ukraine. the left, on the other hand, has been asking to reopen diplomatic channels in addition to sanctions. but bottom line here is that the european parliament and the you say that russia

w correspondent killian buyer, who's enrica lapierre? now, that's why we now covering russia after all, moscow bureau was shut down by the russian government. i ass killian, why pu tins mobilize ation does not appear to be going well. ah, well, that was to be expected really. and many of military experts aren't necessarily surprised. you see that in the mid to thousands of russia, the russian army transitioned from the kind of 20th century soviet style army and try to change to a more modern western orientated army. now am they have, they have this in this process, they disbanded quite a few of their structures that are really needed to handle this many soldiers. and the russian army was, it was shrunken down. and we have seen now that a lot of the soldiers have been killed in ukraine. the most recent report saying around 90000 russian soldiers aren't available anymore. either have been killed, injured, captured, or have gone missing, gone absent. and so they have been forced to change back to this kind of old fashioned soviet style army and in this process, the mobilization
