00:00As the world welcomed 2025, Ukraine faced a grim reality.
00:04Russia launched a massive overnight assault,
00:07sending 111 deadly drones across 10 regions,
00:11including the capital, Kyiv.
00:13A tragic start to the new year.
00:15One person lost their life, and at least six others,
00:19including a pregnant woman, were injured.
00:21In Kyiv's Pechersky neighborhood,
00:23fire engulfed an apartment building,
00:25turning celebrations into chaos.
00:28Air raid sirens pierced the early hours,
00:31urging residents to seek shelter.
00:33Ukrainian forces valiantly intercepted 63 drones,
00:37while 46 others missed their targets.
00:39Yet, the damage was devastating.
00:42Heroes worked tirelessly, air defenders,
00:45emergency crews, and doctors,
00:47risking everything to protect civilians.
00:50Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack,
00:53saying in war, there are no holidays.
00:55For Russia, nothing is sacred.
00:58This wasn't just an attack on infrastructure.
01:01It was an attack on hope, on humanity.
01:04Kyiv's mayor described it as cowardice targeting civilians.
01:07Yet, Ukrainians remain resilient.
01:10As the new year begins,
01:11the world must stand united against tyranny.
01:15The people of Ukraine continue to fight for freedom,
01:17defying the odds, day by day.
01:20Stay informed, stay strong.
01:22Together, we can make a difference.
