00:00another attack on the energy grid. What is the situation on the ground Alex?
00:05Well certainly it is been a challenging day, a challenging Christmas Eve into
00:11Christmas Day for Ukraine. More than 70 missiles, more than a hundred drones
00:16fired from Russia and other regions into Ukraine over a matter of hours. In the
00:22dead of night sirens wailing across this city, people heading for their shelters
00:27for those of them who have them and that has been the reality of this war
00:31for months and months and months. So to have the rolling blackouts. You can see
00:36some of the buildings behind me do not have power. That will be the case for
00:39other parts of the capital city which is relatively comfortable if you compare it
00:43to the cities of Kharkiv or Dnipro where as you mentioned quite rightly hundreds
00:47of thousands of people are out of power or without power and without heating on
00:52Christmas Day. That this attack described by inhuman as by President
00:58Volodymyr Zelensky saying that any decision to strike at this scale is not
01:03a sudden decision. It would have been planned including the timing of this
01:08attack. So certainly a challenging evening for all Ukrainians on Christmas
01:12Day.
