So the Russians are stockpiling their missiles.

They're sending all they can in a quick series of strikes.

So for example, one year ago, two hundred or three hundred drones coming into Kyiv would be considered an excessive night.

Now seven hundred is pretty ordinary.

And when you're combining this with the huge power that you have with Russian ballistic missiles, new hypersonic quasi ballistic missiles, anti ship missiles, that they're increasing the amount they can launch in a night and they're perfecting this opera.

This is becoming very hard to defend against.

And it's all increasingly concentrated on the Capitol.

July the second was the biggest aerial attack since the war began.

And all twenty nine ballistic missiles and anti ship missiles which were launched landed.

There were no interceptions and they killed thirty one people.

You know, it really depends which part of Kiev you're talking about because there are relatively safe and relatively less safe parts.

But for example, Sunday m night, Monday morning, the attacks effectively

Leveled eight streets in a suburb called Vishnova.

What had happened there was

A Russian missile had essentially targeted an ammunition dump.

You you saw first responders trying to pull survivors out for hours after it was in a very grim scene.

After the attacks in the morning you often wake up to this sunrise you can barely see smoke covering the horizon this black fog.

You know, when you're in one particular gig for like f essentially four and a half years, y you you're obviously not a local.

You're able to rotate out every two or three months.

But you still feel the same kind of uh m most Ukrainians are feeling.
