Video Summary
AI GeneratedA recent large-scale missile attack on Kyiv's infrastructure has targeted thermal energy plants, leaving over half a million people without electricity and causing severe water supply disruptions. Residents report that air raid alerts failed to sound in time, allegedly due to the United States withholding critical intelligence necessary for early warnings.
The air alert sounded after the missile,
or at least the debris from the missile,
fell in front of this apartment building.
And that's because, as of late, the United States
seems to be withholding critical intelligence
that gives Ukraine's Air Force the ability to
sound the alarm for strikes like these.
You can see behind me a crater from where
the debris of that missile fell
and looking up towards the building the damage that it caused.
This was one of the largest attacks
on Kyiv's infrastructure in the last several months and
at least three of its thermal energy plants targeted.
We spoke with one of the residents
of this apartment building.
We were in our flat and the alert hadn't gone off yet.
nobody was expecting anything.
I don't know what prompted it, but something just didn't feel right.
Somehow I had this feeling
and within moments I grabbed my children and rushed them into the
corridor. And there was more bad news on Thursday.
More than half a million people in Ukraine's
capital left without electricity
and also now beginning unscheduled blackouts and severe
problems with the water supply to the capital here in Kyiv.
People here not only looking towards a grim prospect for winter,
but also no good news
from their allies in the United States.
