It was a new one even for me.
We were at the key of Central Station at a midnight train.
Preparing for a twenty seven hour journey back to the UK.
The train coming in from Kharkiv was late anyway.
These things happen in Ukraine.
Not so much leaves on the line as exploding ordinance around the train.
But as it arrived, we hear these ballistic missiles going off all around the station.
You see drones.
You see lasers tracking them.
When we eventually get the go ahead to leave, this is about an hour later.
The train is already two hours late.
We were actually very lucky.
It was the last train which was allowed to leave the station.
But I think that sort of story tells you a little bit about the kind of air war this has become for people living in Ukraine and especially the capital, Kyiv.
Yeah, I think it's it's useful perhaps to think of the attacks on Russia as sort of a political messaging because in in the main, these Ukrainian drones, they're far less powerful than the combined Russian ballistic cruise drone attacks.
There are exceptions when interceptions and electronic warfare mean they go into buildings, but generally speaking, they're not really affecting civilian buildings that much.
It's a political message.
In Ukraine, what you're seeing is first of all
Less of these attacks?
But more intense when they happen.
