00:03Ukrainian police handcuff a woman they believe
00:05is behind a deadly bombing in the city of Volviv,
00:08possibly under Russian instructions.
00:14Bombs hidden in trash cans went off early Sunday
00:17as police responded to a reported break-in.
00:20Police have detained several people in connection with the attack,
00:23but it hasn't eased nerves around the neighborhood,
00:25where buildings are damaged.
00:26Our mother is with us, and she is unable to walk.
00:31It is a war, and in her room, there is a bed not far from the window.
00:35My friend in her room taped up the windows, and that saved her.
00:39Then, in that room, all the windows were completely broken,
00:42and that film held them back a little, so everyone is unhurt.
00:47Thank God.
00:50President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a strong condemnation.
00:54It is difficult to call it otherwise,
00:56as it was precisely a cynical and cruel terrorist act.
01:00Two explosions, the second one when the rescuers arrived on site.
01:04Twenty-five people were wounded.
01:06Unfortunately, one person, a policewoman, died.
01:09She was 23 years old.
01:11My condolences to friends and family.
01:15If Russia did order the blasts, it's a new tactic,
01:18in a war that by Tuesday will have gone on for four years.
01:25But Russia hasn't stopped conventional attacks either,
01:28despite rounds of talks aimed at pausing its invasion of Ukraine.
01:32Overnight into Sunday, Ukraine's Air Force says Russia launched 50 missiles and 297 drones.
01:38Among the places they hit was this residential area near Kyiv.
01:47Ukraine has been striking back, even hitting targets deep within Russia.
01:52It says this footage from Friday shows flamingo missiles sent to strike an important military factory
01:571,400 kilometers from the Russian border.
02:01The strike injured 11 people.
02:03Ukraine hasn't been the easy target Russian President Vladimir Putin may have expected
02:08when he launched his so-called special military operation in 2022.
02:12But peace doesn't seem to be near.
02:15Russia wants Ukrainian troops to withdraw from parts of eastern Ukraine,
02:19a non-starter for Kyiv.
02:21Some Ukrainians feel resigned to the fight.
02:24It seems that it has become a little harder mentally,
02:27because in the first years we hoped that war would end soon.
02:31But now there's no end in sight.
02:34And then there are all the power cuts.
02:37Some even think things are getting worse.
02:41Since I am a soldier, it has changed a lot.
02:44I feel it during my work.
02:45Literally, more drones, more danger.
02:48War has changed. That's how I feel about it.
02:51But amid the struggles, people are trying to make something out of the hand they've been dealt.
02:57I noticed that many pregnant women appeared.
03:00Everyone started giving birth.
03:02Everyone started opening businesses and doing everything they had been putting off all this time.
03:07Because everyone realized that there was no point in waiting for the end of the war.
03:11Life goes on now.
03:13Four years of Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II isn't bringing much in the way of hope.
03:19But over the years, Ukraine's people have settled into a grim determination to stick it out.
03:25Setting up warm shelters when the heat goes out.
03:28Distributing food.
03:29And making sure the kids get their homework done.
03:32Even if there's no way to know when the next strike will come.
