| 0:00.0 | I'm David Knowles and this is Ukraine, the latest. Today we bring you news from across |
| 0:17.3 | Ukraine. Analyze a new British plan to aid Ukraine's energy sector through the winter |
| 0:22.2 | and discuss Elon Musk's Starlink satellites and the billionaire's unpredictable influence |
| 0:26.5 | on the course of the war. Bravery takes you through the most unimaginable hardships to |
| 0:34.0 | finally reward you with victory. We need a military strategy for Ukraine to gain a decisive |
| 0:40.9 | advantage on the battlefield to win the war. Nobody is going to break us. We're strong. We're |

| 1:42.3 | in the Mosisky district and one in the Himki district of Moscow region. That's from the Russian |
| 1:48.3 | M.O.D. But the third drone hit one of the skyscrapers. The one called Moscow Towers, I think that's |
| 1:54.3 | been hit before, in the Moscow city business district. This is about three miles to the west of the |
| 2:00.3 | Kremlin. So just outside the center itself, big swanky business district, they're saying it was |
| 2:06.6 | suppressed by air defenses and so came down. Very dramatic footage on our website |
