00:00As smoke rises from this destroyed house, rescuers search through the rubble, looking
00:05for victims.
00:07According to Ukrainian authorities, this latest strike on the residential area of Zaporizhia
00:12was most likely to have come from a drone.
00:17It's probably an explosion of a Shahed drone.
00:20Currently, all services of the city council and the police are here.
00:24We are clearing the rubble now and we are gathering information on the victims.
00:32There were similar scenes further north, in the Sumy region, on the border, where Russian
00:36bombing also gutted out these buildings.
00:40Ukrainians are responding with new strikes.
00:42The images from these security cameras show the extent of the destruction following a
00:46drone explosion in this southern Russian town, near the Ukrainian border.
00:52Such strikes have been targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure for the past three years.
00:57In retaliation, the Ukrainian government targeted this fuel depot and the strategic Russian
01:02military base, which houses bombers capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
01:07Halting strikes on energy infrastructure will be the central issue during the next round
01:12of talks to be held in Saudi Arabia on Monday.
01:17The first step could be, and this is why there will be a technical meeting, a ceasefire
01:22in the air, with the conditions that President Trump talked to me about on the phone.
01:30He told me what he and Putin had talked about, it was about not hitting energy facilities
01:35and other civilian infrastructure with missiles or other long-range weapons.
01:41Negotiations face a very uncertain outcome.
01:44Russia, meanwhile, has maintained its support for Ukraine.
01:47On Friday, Germany announced a further 3 billion euros in military aid.
