the lights back on. and right now, we re still seeing some rolling blackouts, but the lights seem to be back on. we have been driving around the capitol today and things seem to be working more or less, but there s a lot of challenges. the russians showed this morning that they are not done with bombarding kyiv and the rest of this country. yesterday you mentioned 70 projectiles launched by the russians at targets nationwide. most of them were shot down. those 16 that you mentioned, those 16 self-exploding drones that the ukrainianss say were provided to the russians by the iranians all of those were shot down before they struck their targets. but the fact is that a drone that s been intercepted or a missile that s beener is intercepted is still dangerous. yesterday we went tout a children s playground that was struck by debris falling from the sky because one of those drones had been struck right above it. so that s still very much a
