Arseniy yatsenyuk in kyiv, welcome to hardtalk. Thanks for having me, stephen. Heres a very simple first question. Do you feel that ukraine right now is going through its bleakest moments in this war since your country survived that initial russian onslaught in late February 2022 . We are at a critical juncture, no doubt, stephen, youre absolutely correct. So we survived two years ago due to an unbelievable resolve of the ukrainian people and due to the real unity among the Western World. As of now, the mood is different, but i still believe that we have the chance to prevail. But we need an enormous effort that needs to be undertaken mainly by our Western Allies. So the mood is different, but chances for ukraine to prevail and to survive are very high. All depends on the actions. Spirit and morale are very important in war. Just tell me what impact the missile strikes on ukrainian cities like kharkiv, like chernihiv where weve seen the Death Toll Rise beyond a dozen what impact do tho
