the intensive care unit is filled with the victims of this war. yes, your name pam, which is difficult, but i haven't treated civilians with combat injuries before. i'm overwhelmed with the amount of cases, sometimes we receive 10 people from one location, but we've learned to do it quickly, provide aid. it's our experience accounts to promote the work under constant threat to their own lives. we're standing here and listening to the sounds of shilling, i don't know where it will hit the hospitals impala clear in solar chip or destroyed in those over the hospitals don't work anymore. we don't know what will be today. if the bomb lands the hospital will no longer exist, the children's hospital is destroyed. the center for blood donation operates from the base and many of these people were in their homes and they were hit by shrapnel shilling was intense, then it stopped then it started again. 3 people were killed immediately. i'm the

only one that survived, but have all these injuries. one of the kind of injuries that you're seeing downstairs they are more patient is one of the most sashes leg has been amputated. if we can have, you know, actually there was a lot of patients with the serious injures right here. but the, this boy is the most strong well from all of them because most of them are crying, asking for saving their legs and arms. but he was the only one who said, just do what you think you need to do. this is the real warrior. still heart and he has one message for the world, close the sky in moments green. these words are filled with casualties from this war. here most of patients are after artillery. it's not because most of patients was wounded by tillery is just because most of patients after aircraft are dead. so

this is the most heart patient in another ward, we find you have guinea telescope. he threw his body over his 8 year old son when he heard explosion from his son was unharmed, travelling above his chest and then go out. here. he was struck by shrapnel. the piece of shuttle that we see here was shown pieces of shrapnel by the stuff. this tiny piece killed a woman to move me to medium by staying here we are defending our families. i'm working for victory. we are together. we are in a common cause. this is my bed one for the staff here. this is their life. they sleep in the corridors to stay close to their patients and hope the walls were protect them. if the hospital is hit for and you flip your card yup. patients like sasha, a medical staff her have all asked for the same thing. oblivious of the politics around it. they want the air space over ukraine and this city closed because if the

damage turned from the bomb dropped from planes, the causing the most casualties. i said, bake algebra, her fif of people in mighty, you poor say they're finally able to bury the dead. one woman who step father died almost 2 weeks ago was unable to dig his grave because the ground was too frozen. until now. city authorities say more than 2400 civilians have been killed since russia's invasion began. earlier this month, the city was forced to bury scores of bodies in a mass grave. jim godson is the executive director of open society foundations, justice initiative. he says he's seeing more reports of indiscriminate attacks targeting the civilian population. there does seem to be ample evidence that at least raises serious questions as to whether war crimes are being committed. and i think the international criminal court. he's looking at the situation they've already, the prosecutor and his team are been on the ground there and i know we're doing it . ready can to gather information and evidence,

and we'll see what that what that office ultimately determined. but i think the public reports to date are certainly deeply, deeply concerning. when you just to meet just in the city of mary a fall where we've seen targeting densely populated neighborhoods, bombing of humanitarian carters bombing of hospitals in about theater with what authority said, we're 1200 civilians inside all of these suggest where there's in many reports, no evidence of, of the armed forces be praying or military infrastructure in the area, which certainly suggests that these are attacks which are in violation of international manager and law. ukraine president has called for a worldwide show of support against the russian invasion. starting from march 24th. exactly one months after the russian invasion from this day. and after them, sol, your standing, come from your offices, your homes,

what sort of equipments going to be supplied? and he said that would be dangerous to give the details to let the russians know the details of exactly what they're going to do with regard to that. but it's certainly quite high on the agenda for the nato allies. when they meet here, i don't think they're going to come up with the key things that precedence nancy has asked for and will be asking, i'm sure again, for here, he would like to see a no fly zone. that is something no way any of the nato allies will support at this time. he'd also like to see much tough sanctions, particularly on the energy sector. and that's where nato, and particularly the you have a split with some countries in europe. notably, germany, very, very concerned about that. in fact, the german chancellor earlier on said that, yes, you can do that one day, but you can't do it in one day because otherwise, germany and other countries in europe would face a recession. and you can't have

a sanction that hums you nations more than it does. the leadership of russia, a russia's foreign minister, has war nato. the sending peacekeepers to ukraine could lead to war with the west. poland is proposed sending troops, although the u. s. has ruled out any ground presence with you in the united states is playing a decisive role here. this is aimed to dramatize the situation to allow the lensky to wear his khaki shirt, to address the wolf poly minutes. and after each address with tears and emotion, to demand again the involvement of nato, our polish colleagues have already stated that now the nato summit is going to happen. they will be sending pacemakers. i hope they understand exactly what they're talking about. this will be the 1st class of the bush, an army, and nato, me something that every body not only wanted to avoid what i've been saying shouldn't take place in principal a still head on al jazeera,
