Transcript for UK intelligence reports Russia's attempt to break through Ukraine's air defenses
YEAR'S CONGRESS WITH THE GOP IN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE. JANAI? >>> NOW TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE, AND A STRIKING CLAIM FROM BRITISH OFFICIALS THAT RUSSIA HAS FIRED CRUISE MISSILES WITH DUMMY WARHEADS. ABC'S MARCUS MOORE IS LIVE IN KYIV WITH MORE. MARCUS, GOOD MORNING. >> Reporter: JANAI, GOOD MORNING, THE BATTLE FOR UKRAINE IS NOW IN ITS TENTH MONTH, AND THIS UK INTELLIGENCE REPORT IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, THEY'RE SAYING THAT RUSSIA HAS A DEPLETING ARSENAL SO THEY'VE BEEN FIRING DUMMY MISSILES, THESE ARE MISSILES THAT DON'T HAVE WARHEADS ALL IN AN EFFORT TO OVERWHELM UKRAINE'S AIR DEFENSES AND THEN THEY'LL FIRE MISSILES WITH WARHEADS TO HIT CRITICAL TARGETS. AS YOU KNOW, RUSSIA HAS BEEN TRYING TO DEMORALIZE THE UKRAINIAN POPULATION, IT'S BEEN HITTING THE COUNTRY'S POWER GRID TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE DARK. IN FACT, A WAVE OF AIR STRIKES JUST DAYS AGO LEFT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT HEAT OR WATER, AND THE ATTACKS THERE MARK WHAT RUSSIA HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO AND AT ONE POINT THERE WERE FOUR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS HERE IN UKRAINE. THEY WERE COMPLETELY OFFLINE. THE PRESIDENT HERE, ZELENSKYY, SAYS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY IS DOWN TO 6 MILLION, AS THEY'VE BEEN WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO RESTORE ELECTRICITY. I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, HERE IN KYIV, THEY'VE SET UP THIS WARMING CENTER, WHERE FAMILIES CAN COME TO GET WARM AND CAN ALSO GET FOOD AND MEDICINE AND CHARGE THEIR TELEPHONES AND THEIR PERSONAL DEVICES. THEY'VE SET UP THESE CENTERS LIKE THIS ONE ACROSS THE CITY AND THE REGION, EVEN IN SOME OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS, ALL IN AN EFFORT TO MEET THIS DEMAND, AND YOU CAN SEE THE SNOW IS FALLING HERE. ALL INDICATIONS ARE RIGHT NOW THAT THIS WILL BE A VERY LONG AND BRUTAL WINTER FOR THE PEOPLE HERE IN UKRAINE, GUYS.
