12:03 pm
very important for their military operations for re supplying their troops in the north of the don't boss region, which is according to president putin, the ultimate goal of this war now with the war comes also the death and we went with investigators and forensic experts to the outskirts of easier where they had uncovered a mass burial side of president zelinski. the prosecutors underground. all told us that they were already evidence of torture. among some of the bodies they had so far exude, but it is a huge task simply because they are these $440.00 graves, according to officials. but some of them could carry more than one person. so it's gonna is going to take a long time to figure out who are these people and how they died. and as they are
12:04 pm
going along with that burial site, well also investigators are looking for mass graves and they found at least one which was 4 or ukrainian soldiers. this is a report on the edge of its zoom in the forest. the grim reality of war nestled between the trees. graves of those who died during the russian occupation of this city each has a story of the moment unknown. ukraine says some of the bodies exudes, show signs of culture. but with, we are here at a place where you can see 3 graves in the 1st one, there's a rope on the neck, and the hands are tied. on some bodies, we see traces of torture. the brill site was discovered after the russians left a few days ago. police said their most 2 civilians, but bodies of 17 ukrainian soldiers were pulled out of a mass grave on the edge of the burial site. investigators and forensic experts are already at work. there are hundreds of graves here in the forest. some of them are
12:05 pm
mine and appear to even have the date of death. but there are many others that are just numbered. sir gay came to identify some of them. 46 of his neighbors died in the s drive that targeted his building. he pulled their bodies out of the robber, to whom we people had to pay for the burial. and if he didn't have money than they were buried with a number, sometimes they put signs like woman with a red coat. those who were burying were may be local fixes russians and separatists from don yet. and lou hence, russia invaded if 2, in the early days of the war, it was used as a logistical hub to supplies. forces in the dumbass is now a city in ruins. desolate. there's no power, water or gas. ukrainian soldiers are back on the streets. but that dana wonders how she's going to face the approaching winter. she says some people froze to death
12:06 pm
alone in their homes. at the beginning of the war. sitting under bench near by august says most of the death happen then of on the lease. i can say it's a mass grave people very did. anyway, they could any gardens and squeeze the russian made in scene to attain to exhume the bodies from around the city and took them neither cemetery. she's hoping to find her husband who also died in an air strike. got martha. natalia also tells me she doesn't know where her father is buried at 80, he died of fear and cold. perhaps they will be find that the burial site. investigators have a monumental task ahead, but ukraine is confident that some of the stories of those buried here will provide more evidence of war crimes. auto. when we spoke an hour ago, air raid sirens sounded there in hoc huge. what's the latest on the fighting? ah, what city?
12:07 pm
the siren sound and hockey several times per day and several times per night. and you do also see here loud explosions, nearly an hour daily on a nightly basis. i would say now this counter offensive has taken everybody by surprise here, but i think one of his successes also has been that the government has been not talking about it too much, not publish sizes publicizing it until after defax. and what we do know from do from the ministry of defense is that they had pushed further even further east in the northern part of the country, towards them, against sweden. there is fighting on going in and around the town of missy shag. the am game will do what another day the end game there would be to get hands over severe and, and yet which you could compared to is g m in the sense that it was another logistical hub. it is another logistical hub foot,
12:08 pm
a russians there. it also sits on a very important railway hub and is from there that we supplied which do troops that are in de newhan suite in this is one of the 2 pro russian separate is self proclaimed republics. so the battle is ongoing by these also many other front lines in this country. the deputy defense minister a few days ago was telling me there's about 2500 kilometers of front net around the country. and there is, there was this much publicized counter offensive in the south of the country in the headstone region. many would say that maybe their ukrainians way diverting the attention of the russians by publicizing discount to offensive in the south, while preparing themselves to push here in the north east. well, from what we understand and again we're getting very little information that of counter offensive is going much lower is a much different rain is open plains so both sides can see each other very clearly
12:09 pm
. and it is slightly more complicated. we know that the ukrainians have managed to put the russians in a difficult situation in this sense that they bombed out their bridges, that linked him son to the crimea peninsula annexed by russia. so they say that at the moment the russian soldiers there are quite isolated, but this is still the beginning of a very long battle to retake the country. algiers hotter above hamid reporting live there from ca, keith holler. many things dozens of people have been killed and fighting this week along the border between kyrgyzstan and had g kissed on. both countries accuse each other of carrying out attacks on towns. no major incidents were reported overnight . friday and saturday. co. gaston has declared a state of emergency in the back can border region korea talk her talk to golf, was circumstance ambassador to the u. s. and as a former journalist,
