Why Putin spends hundreds of millions on knocking out Kyiv’s grid for eight hours?

Turning To Ukraine, Most Of The Country

 

There Is Still Without Power After The

 

The Latest Wave Of Russian Airstrikes But In

 

His Nightly Address of President Vladimir

 

Zelensky, Said The Ukrainian, Military

 

Had Repelled Dozens Of Missiles in Smolensk

 

 

 

Said Without The Country's Air Defense

 

The Situation Would Have Been Much Worse

 

Three People Were Killed And Six Wounded

 

Ends Thursday's Attacks Which Damaged

 

Presidential Buildings And Critical

 

Infrastructure Across The Country

 

 

Trails Of Smoke Streak Across The Skies

 

Of Ukraine

 

As Dozens Of Russian Missiles Yet To

 

Gain Butter, The Country

 

Residents Sheltered Below The Streets In

 

The City's Metro

 

 

In Scenes Reminiscent Of The Early Days

 

Of Russia's Invasion

 

Ally Kitsch, Remains Defiant Same

 

The People Of Ukraine Will Never Give Up

 

S Wants To Bring Depression Especially

 

Right Now Christmastime, and New Year The

 

 

The Russians Want To Bring Us To

 

Black Time To Without Lighting To

 

Without Heating, Yeah They Have To Bring

 

The

 

Depression Mood To Everyone Instead Of Them

 

Ukrainian People Were Very Angry And They

 

Told Better We Stay Without Lipstick

 

Without Hitting, We Never Give Up

 

Deutschevela's Emmanuel Shaw Visited One

 

Neighborhood In A Southern Key Where A

 

 

Missile Caused Extensive Damage

 

You Can See

 

A Breeze Of That Missile That Just Fell

 

Earlier This Morning So The Road Here Is

 

Completely Littered, This Is A Neighbor

 

Completely Desolating It Desolated And

 

It's Just It's Not Just Houses That Have

 

Been Shattered It's So It's Also Entire

 

Lives

 

Locals He Has Sifted Through What Little

 

Remained Of Their Homes

 

I Was In The Supermarket When My

 

Granddaughter Called Crying And Said That

 

Our Windows Were Broken And Someone's

 

The House Was On Fire, We Dropped Everything

 

And Came Running And Saw Everything That

 

These Animals Had Done They Are Fascists

 

Ukrainian Military Officials Say Dozens

 

Of Missiles Were Fired At Key

 

Infrastructure Targets, But Most Were

 

Intercepted By Ukrainian Air Defense

 

Systems

 

Belarus Has Summoned The Ukrainian

 

Ambassador After It Claimed A Ukrainian

 

The Missile Entered Its Territory

 

Almost A Year Into This War

 

People Across Ukraine Are Now Seeing Out

 

2022

 

In The Same Ruinous Way, But It Began

 

Spring And Prank Aldrich Here His

 

Military Analyst At The University Of

 

Portsmouth In The UK, Good To See You

 

Frank Now Ukrainian Air Defenses Are

 

Intercepting Many Of The Missiles And

 

Drones That Russia Keeps Firing At

 

Ukraine But Some Do Still Get Through

 

With a Devastating Cumulative Effect, Frank

 

If Russia Continues This Aerial

 

Bombardment What Will That Mean For

 

Ukraine

 

Well, One Commentator Terry Put It Like

 

This That On When Was It Yesterday

 

Uh Putin Spent Something In The Region

 

Of Two Or Three Hundred Million Dollars

 

To Knock Out Electricity And Care For

 

Eight Hours

 

Have Shown Themselves To Be Extremely

 

Resilient. They Will Continue To Do So

 

Their System Is Deep. It's Not A

 

Modern Electrical Systems Or Indeed A

 

Critical Infrastructure Systems Which

 

Paradoxically. Makes It Far Easier To

 

Repair And Far More Resilient, So To

 

Answer Your Question, They Will Keep On

 

Throwing Their Uh Rather Expensive

 

Missiles At The Ukrainian There Will Be

 

Some Effects But It Will Have No Decisive

 

Impact On The Outcome Of The War

 

Talking About The Outcome Of The War A

 

A Lot Of People Are Wondering What Sort Of

 

The End Game Is Shaping Up, What Are Your

 

Expectations For This War In The Coming

 

Year Frank

 

Great Question Terry So This As With Any

 

Of These Questions Is Contingent If The

 

West Keeps Drip-feeding Weaponry To The

 

Ukrainian As Are Now Filling Gaps

 

And Bolster Completely Uh Perhaps Uh Out

 

Of Outdated Capabilities Such As Their

 

Air Defenses, Then It Is Likely We Will

 

Maintain The War Into 2024.

 

If The West However Decides Particularly

 

Here I'm Thinking Of The United States

 

Decides And Makes The Critical Decision

 

The Strategic Decision For Ukraine To

 

Win This War

 

By Transferring The Tanks They Have The

 

Infantry Fighting Vehicles Have The

 

Aircraft And Long-range Weapons Then

 

Ukraine Can Win This War This Year

 

So We're Either Looking At

 

A Continuing Fight In Which Ukraine Will

 

Prevail In The End, I Don't See It

 

Failing Or

 

Or A War Ending This Year The Latter

 

Depending On U S Decisions Made In

 

Washington For A Step-Up Of Weapons

 

Supplies

 

Frank, Thank You Very Much Uh Military
