ukrainian President Vladimir Zalinski
0:02
has given reasons why the country under
0:04
Russia attacks is currently launching
0:07
offensive actions deep inside Russia
0:09
territories saying almost every single
0:12
day Russia fired hundreds of drones and
0:15
missiles into Ukrainian cities
0:17
especially civilian or residential areas
0:20
killing civilians women and children
0:22
specifically stating that a day before
0:25
Ukraine military launched the drone
0:26
strikes that destroyed over 40 bomber
0:28
plane carriers inside Russia military
0:31
airfields on Sunday Russia attacked
0:33
Ukraine overnight with 480 drones and
0:36
missiles Zilinski stated this while
0:39
responding to questions from journalists
0:41
who engaged him via online video call
0:45
This Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had
0:47
hit the bridge connecting Russia and the
0:49
occupied Crimean Peninsula with
0:51
explosives planted underwater in its
0:54
third attack on the vital supply line
0:56
for Moscow's forces since the full-scale
0:58
war began in 2022 According to CNN
1:02
according to CNN Ukraine's security
1:05
service the SBU said on Telegram that
1:09
its agents had mined the peers of the
1:11
Road and Rail Crimean Bridge also called
1:13
the Kirch Bridge and detonated the first
1:16
explosive at 4:44 a.m Tuesday The whole
1:20
operation took several months it added
1:22
The agency said it had used 1,100 kg of
1:27
explosives which severely damaged the
1:29
underwater pillars supporting the bridge
1:32
Traffic on the bridge was suspended
1:34
early Tuesday morning then again
1:36
midafter afternoon before resuming
1:38
shortly before 6 p.m local time Although
1:42
the scale of the damage was not
1:43
immediately clear Tuesday's attack is
1:46
the latest example of the SBU's attempts
1:48
to blindside Moscow and demonstrate that
1:51
there are costs to continuing its war
1:54
President Zalinski on Monday and Tuesday
1:56
stated that right now in Sunumi region
1:59
doctors are providing all necessary
2:01
assistance to those wounded by a Russian
2:03
strike The Russians struck right on the
2:06
street hitting ordinary residential
2:08
buildings sleas bags There have been
2:11
virtually no days without killings
2:13
during this whole time While the United
2:16
States Europe and other global actors
2:18
have been urging Russia to agree to a
2:20
ceasefire and negotiations to end the
2:22
war But Russia remains fully committed
2:25
to war and they prove it with both their
2:28
strikes and their statements All of this
2:30
is the argument for new tougher
2:32
sanctions against Russia I'm grateful to
2:35
all Americans and Europeans who support
2:38
this approach of pressuring Russia into
2:40
peace It's extremely important Russia
2:43
must feel what war truly means When
2:46
asked by journalists whether yesterday's
2:48
operation might enrage the Russians I
2:50
responded that just a day earlier Russia
2:53
had launched a massive overnight attack
2:55
on Ukraine Over 480 drones and missiles
2:59
They struck civilian infrastructure
3:01
residential buildings There were
3:04
casualties people killed and injured
3:06
This happens every single day Sometimes
3:09
there's a short pause And to be honest
3:12
we now call it a pause if there's just
3:14
no one killed that night But even then
3:18
drones still fly and people still get
3:20
wounded These so-called pauses just mean
3:23
fewer attacks than usual But we're still
3:26
talking about dozens of drones and
3:28
cruise missiles So Nigeria
