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
