    Thanks, Kyiv Independent. Russia targets energy because they need an end to the war, because Ukraine is hurting them with it's strategy of attacking oil refineries. This hurts the Soviets.

    10:25 How have we actually seen this? Is this based on UA official statements? because those are about as trustworthy as the Russian ones. UA has been much stricter with social media dissemination of amateur videos of arrivals, so you can't base it off of that either. One question would be: if UA was so effective at shooting down Russian missiles, why have the Russians been so persistent in their attacks?

    Anastasiia Lapatina should do some better pronounciation and she would have more viewers. I don't know why ukrainean journalists take the language part a bit easy when it's crucial for reaching out to the public. It's just a matter of will. Besides that, the program was good with focus on a very important matter.
