00:00Kyiv's night sky lit up early on Tuesday, then was plunged into darkness by Russian
00:06drone and missile strikes, leaving thousands of residential buildings in the Ukrainian
00:11capital without power in temperatures well below freezing.
00:16Most of the buildings cut off on Tuesday had only recently had power restored after a similar
00:21barrage on January 9th.
00:23Hundreds of residents spent the night sheltering in the Kyiv metro.
00:26It's tiring, of course it's tiring.
00:32How can it not be?
00:34When you work during the day and then can't sleep at night, it's exhausting for your nervous
00:39system.
00:40We don't come down here very often, but today we were scared because there were several
00:45ballistic explosions, not just one.
00:50The attack wasn't restricted to the capital.
00:53Hundreds of drones and missiles targeting energy facilities struck overnight in at least
00:58seven Ukrainian regions.
01:00Several areas, including a significant part of Kyiv, are also without water.
01:04Targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a clear breach of the rules of warfare.
01:09The International Atomic Energy Agency said several substations critical for nuclear safety
01:14were impacted and Chernobyl power plant had lost all off-site power.
01:20The Russian Defense Ministry said it had carried out strides on facilities that support Ukraine's
01:24military.
01:26As the attacks show no sign of let-up, Ukrainian officials are trying to keep up the momentum
01:30of US-led peace talks.
01:33Vladimir Zelenskyy, who had been expected to join leaders at the World Economic Forum Tuesday,
01:38said he was staying in Ukraine to deal with the aftermath, adding that he would travel to
01:42Davos only if the US was ready to sign documents there on Ukraine's post-war security and economic
01:48recovery.
