00:00Ukraine's been under a massive attack, targeting the capital Kyiv.
00:04Kyiv city cameras catching the moment.
00:06It was around 5.30 a.m. local time when the bombs struck two moments apart in almost the same place.
00:15Another flash coming up just where you've seen that one.
00:18And then towards the far left of the screen a little later, you will see another explosion.
00:24That's the far left as we look at it. We'll stay with those images.
00:26On the ground, the destruction became all too clear for everybody to see.
00:31The death toll is at least 21. Children are among that number.
00:35And of course, it's a fortnight since the peace summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and the man that he openly admires.
00:42There's that third explosion at just the far left of camera.
00:47Let's go back to, yes, it's just two weeks since Trump met Vladimir Putin.
00:51Putin, of course, the man he openly admires.
00:53As a wanted war criminal, we remind you, Russia's authoritarian president, peace has never looked further away.
00:59Our report starts at Ukrainian homes bombed by the Russians.
01:05Shell-shocked residents find comfort where they can as rescue workers pick through the rubble of their apartment building.
01:13Russian strikes hit Kyiv as the city slept.
01:15It was the second deadliest wartime assault on Ukraine's capital.
01:22I heard a loud explosion which hit the neighbouring flat.
01:26Then a door fell on me.
01:28The entire flat was destroyed, as were our cars.
01:34Honestly, this has never happened before that they attacked so close to me.
01:37In any case, everyone is suffering now.
01:40It's everywhere.
01:42According to the Ukrainian army, Russia struck around 20 targets in Kyiv overnight,
01:47with hypersonic ballistic missiles and around 600 drones.
01:52President Zelensky accused Russia of choosing arms over negotiations,
01:56as it still does not fear any consequences.
01:59Outrage also after the overnight barrage damaged the headquarters of the European Union mission in Kyiv
02:04and the British Council.
02:07London and Brussels have summoned their Russian envoys,
02:09and the EU said it would soon put forward another round of sanctions.
02:13This was the deadliest drone and missile attack on the capital since July.
02:19And it was an attack also on our delegation.
02:23I just spoke with our deputy ambassador,
02:25and I'm relieved that none of our staff were harmed.
02:29The British Prime Minister accused the Russian president
02:32of sabotaging hopes of peace with the strikes.
02:35Since Vladimir Putin met Donald Trump in Alaska on August 15th,
02:39there's been no let-up of Moscow's assault.
02:42Thursday, the Kremlin said Russia is still interested in peace,
02:46but will keep up strikes.
02:48This Friday, Ukrainian representatives are set to meet members
02:51of the Trump administration in New York,
02:53but Russia won't be at the table.
02:56Let's go straight to our correspondent in Ukraine's capital,
02:59Emmanuel Shaz, waiting for us live in Kyiv.
03:02Emmanuel, a very good evening to you.
03:04It has been another difficult and dangerous night where you are.
03:07Russia strikes, Zelensky's reaction.
03:10Tell us the story.
03:13Well, indeed, it's been yet another night of worry for millions
03:17here in the Ukrainian capital.
03:19We've had several rounds of explosions in the middle of the night.
03:23Some were falling here in the very heart of the capital.
03:27Others fell on the other side of the Dnipro River.
03:30That's actually where most of the people were found dead,
03:35in that residential building,
03:36which entirely collapsed after a strike.
03:40Behind me, you can see on the one side,
03:43there is a residential building with some lights on.
03:46Those are residential buildings
03:49where people are trying to count what damage has been done.
03:55They're trying to see what can be salvaged.
03:57They are also replacing windows by wooden panels when they can,
04:01by plastic sheets, transparent sheets when they can.
04:06On the other side of the screen,
04:08you can see civil servants still working on site.
04:13They're still clearing the rubble.
04:16Those are office buildings.
04:18I am actually just one block away
04:20from the headquarters of the EU delegation,
04:23which has been damaged last night,
04:26and just across the British Council,
04:29the building of which has been entirely destroyed.
04:32All the windows have flown away.
04:34There are still charts in front of it.
04:37It's an image of destruction,
04:39and it's just one among at least 20,
04:41according to the Ukrainian authority,
04:43around the capital have just spent the day
04:45going from one side to the next.
04:47And every time, it is the same scene of desolation.
04:51And here from the ground floor,
04:52Ukrainians are called talk to.
04:54They do not even know what to say anymore.
04:56They do not even know how to convey
04:58that they are on the receiving end of those drones,
05:02of those missiles, 1,600 drones,
05:0531 missiles were thrown by Russia last night,
05:08even if the vast majority of it was shot down,
05:14intercepted by the Ukrainian air defense.
05:16It still causes extensive damage.
05:21There's already 21 persons who are known to be dead.
05:25There might still be people under the rubble among the victims.
05:29At least four children.
05:30The youngest is two-year-old,
05:33and a 12-year-old died, a 14-year-old died.
05:35Those are all civilians.
05:37It is a tragic situation,
05:39and it is a situation made by the fact
05:41that Russia sent the bombs and the drones towards Ukraine.
05:44There is no getting away from that fact.
05:46And as you say, Emmanuel,
05:47at least 21 people killed children among that number.
05:50He also pointed out that buildings belonging to Britain
05:54and the EU have been struck
05:55a week after an American company was struck as well
06:00by a Russian ammunition, munition, should I say, rather.
06:04Could there be any more proof for Donald Trump
06:06that Vladimir Putin is not serious about peace?
06:10In the words of Zelensky,
06:11he's choosing ballistics over negotiation.
06:13He's shooting ballistics over negotiations
06:18is something that Ukrainians have warned the West against
06:22for three and a half years, if not 11 years now.
06:26Ukrainians are on the receiving end of those missiles,
06:29of those drones here in the city center.
06:32Right where I am,
06:33I cannot think of any military target
06:35that could have been of interest to Russia.
06:38There is two kilometers away from where I stand.
06:41The main train station,
06:44there are train warehouses not too far.
06:46Perhaps that was their goal,
06:48but it's still a war crime to target,
06:51to have those targets, you know,
06:54struck at any cost
06:56because the cost is that of civilian life
06:58in the very heart of the European capital.
07:01Volodymyr Zelenskyy voicing there
07:03the concern of millions of Ukrainians
07:06who are living day in, day out under Russian bombs.
07:09Emmanuel Shaz, as always,
07:11thank you very much indeed
07:11for bringing measured reporting from Ukraine's capital.
07:15And as always,
07:15I wish you a safe continuation
