said, there could be more waves of russian military attacks coming in the future. will the foreign ministry say anything about the types of weapons they hope to acquire and defend themselves? yeah, of course. every opportunity ukrainian officials get, they sort of recent date this idea they want more weapons from the united states in particular, also other countries as well. the emphasis at the moment is antimissile systems, particularly pipe systems to defend against the massive onslaught of missiles coming from russia, attacking infrastructure targets across the country. again, they have been asking, the foreign minister told me they have been asking this from actually before the war, before the latest invasion began back in february. now is the time, dmytro kuleba said, for decisions on this issue to be made. there has been a lot of discussion on going about opening lives with negotiations for russia, and particularly with this war. did he have anything to say about that? yeah
here, has really slowed down in part because of the weather. the muddy season before winter really sets in. so the russians are using drones and missiles to hit key infrastructure targets, plunging much of ukraine into darkness and cold as winter sets in. is there more that the u.s. or other nations could be doing to help with this sort of against as ukraine tries to prepare against the dangerous new tactic. i think a big thing is air defense. the ukrainians have done well with what they have been provided with. it s not substantial enough to stop the drones and missiles and rockets that have been hitting inside ukraine knocking out the power grid. the second i think is supplying the back up power grid. there are generators going into the country. they are trying to reestablish those things. it speaks to some of the bigger issues the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, still under russian control. that s a massive battle that will ensue to wrestle control of that back from the russians, tr
emergency powers to activate the protection at three sites. those three power plants in different parts of the country, and again, there have been missile strikes on infrastructure targets around ukraine. and it s already been reported by the mayor of kyiv. now there is confirmation from the grid operator that they have switched off, in effect, three, or disconnected from the grid three nuclear power stations. the big fear has been that if one of the stations were to receive a direct hit, whether from a were to receive a direct hit, whetherfrom a ukrainian russian
and that s making the signal a bit patchy. my apologies for that. on that attack on the maternity clinic in zaporizhzhia, absolutely tragic and, of course, another example of just how appalling and brutal this conflict has become for ordinary ukrainian civilians. the latest information we have from zaporizhzhia is that this maternity clinic was struck by a russia s 300, they re using them for ground attack purposes now. a young baby, just a couple of days old, was killed. along with a couple of other injuries as well. a mother was injured, a doctor as well in the maternity clinic. and it is absolutely appalling that these things are taking place. it s in the context of a broader campaign by russia to strike at infrastructure targets across ukraine. they re targeting for the most part energy infrastructure, as i
spend the winter in the dark. that s a real worry. they are using drones to take out the infrastructure targets and temperatures are freezing. in fact, just this morning, ukrainian officials signaling they re going to give evacuation orders to cities, including kherson, which they reclaimed because they feel like it will be a humanitarian crisis. residents are there over the winter if they don t have heat or power. russians able to up their inventory, they will be able to continue the offensive in perhaps more widespread fashion. russia continues to terrorize the civilian population, now doing it with the help of iran and the drones. north korea s latest missile launch took place on friday with kim jong un standing near the platform to watch the blast off of the country s largest, intercontinental ballistic missile. so was his daughter. it s the first time kim has revealed one of his children to the world. photographs published by north korean state media on saturday show kim holding
