00:27For years, Ukrainians have lived with the
00:29war for two not only at the front lines, but also above their heads. This battle in the sky has
00:36become part of daily life hour by hour and minute by minute. Russia has increased the scale of its
00:44attacks while developing new ways of overwhelming Ukraine's air defenses. For the people in Kyiv,
00:50in Ukraine, the war in the sky is getting harder to escape.
01:01The challenge is no longer simply the number of weapons Russia can put into the air. Attacks
01:07increasingly combine different threats, arriving from different directions and traveling at very
01:12different speeds. Shahid-type attack drones can be launched in large numbers, ballistic missiles
01:18leave defenders far less time to react, and new, faster jet-powered drones are adding another challenge.
01:28Russia is changing routes, timing and tactic, looking for weaknesses and trying to saturate
01:34Ukraine's defenses.
01:35Russia is changing.
01:38Russia is changing.
02:05There is no success now. They are trying to scare the population so that the population will stop supporting the
02:13army and, accordingly, the army will accept the capitalization.
02:36Ukraine adapts, then Russia adapts, and the cycle begins again.
03:05They live with our close friends.
03:11Our enemy flew.
03:14It flew and then came.
03:26When a weapon gets through, the work of restoring the system begins.
03:31But the people repairing the damage are doing so, while the threat of another attack continues.
03:39People go and ask to give light, but we can't do this because there is a fever.
03:46Every day, every day, there is a fever.
03:51We are now standing, there are bombs?
03:53Yes, yes, yes.
03:55Let's get out of the station a little further, because you hear what is happening.
04:11I hope that our PPO will help us, which will kill most of the equipment that is currently used.
04:21And then, it is our work. We will restore the damage.
04:26Behind every facility, they are trying to protect a million of homeless people.
04:32After several winters of war, Ukrainians know what losing power can mean.
04:36And this winter, they are preparing again.
04:39We are preparing for another winter.
04:41We are preparing for another winter.
05:04It is only one part of adapting to life under attack.
05:07In Kyiv, air raid alerts have become part of everyday life.
05:11I always make the sound more powerful on the phone, so to understand what is happening now.
05:18I immediately see the rocket, and we have two seconds to go to the corridor.
05:22We can't go to the entrance. We have no time to go to the entrance.
05:26We have no time to go to the entrance.
05:41What sounds like?
05:42What is the sound like?
05:43The popcorn.
05:45The sound of the air raid is similar to popcorn.
05:48When they are preparing, when they are preparing.
05:49Yes, yes, it is in a different way.
05:58The battle for Ukraine is still being fought in trenches and towns along a front stretching hundreds of kilometers.
06:04But the same war is being fought in the skies above cities far from the front line.
06:10And as another winter approaches, what happens in that sky will help determine what happens below it.
06:16Whether homes stay warm, whether the lights stay on, and whether ordinary life can continue.
06:22Ukraine has learned to adapt, but so has Russia.
06:26And for millions of Ukrainians, the question is brutally simple.
06:31When the next missile comes, will there be something there to stop it?
