10:01 pm
hello. welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael mahomes live from lviv. in ukraine. we continue to follow breaking developments in russia assault on this country. ongoing fighting being reported monday. according to russian state media, the russian defense ministry will hold fire and next hour will allow the opening of humanitarian corridors from four ukrainian cities. including kyiv. we'll see how that pans out. given how the others have failed. meanwhile the russian assault continues to be met by strong resistance. ukrainian military claims to have knocked down a russian artillery position near the southern city. although we have not verified the video. still we're witnessing the harsh and heartbreaking reality on the ground for so many civilians. this next video maybe disturbing to some. it's important to see. it shows a russian military
10:02 pm
strike outside -- a town outside kyiv. as ukrainians were attempting to flee the fighting. >> the mayor says a family was killed in the strike. eight people in total dying during evacuations. as the area was hit by shelling. since it started the invasion, russia has fired 600 missiles. according to to a sen year official. moscow now has 95% of combat power inside this country. president zelenskyy says sanctions aren't enough to stop russia. who he accuses of quote planning deliberate murder. >> today is forgiveness sunday.
10:03 pm
but we cannot forgive the hundreds upon hundred of victims. nor the thousands of thousands of suffered. god will not forgive. not today, not tomorrow. never. and instead of forgiveness, there will be judgment. >> there are growing questions about whether russia actively targeting civilians or just doesn't care what it hits. we report from a small village southwest of kyiv. devastated by a air strike on friday. >> the small country road is now lined by piles of rubble. burned out cars, collapsed homes and a deep crater with a missile struck. the attack caught on a village security camera. hit the home. the small village about 15 miles south of kyiv. where he lived with his family. now, they're gone.
10:04 pm
killed in an instant. five family members and a friend. including his 12 year-old daughter. who was disabled in an accident with a drunk driver. his wife just 46 years old. and his son-in-law the father of his grandchildren. >> today, black eye and face bruised, picked through the debris. trying to find belongings and documents. there was a brief moment of happiness. when he found one of his missing cats. the reality of how his life is forever changed. hasn't sunk in .
10:05 pm
>> there is simply no explanation for all of this destruction. for the deaths that happened here. there is no military target around for miles. this isn't strategic village or town that needs taking. as the kremlin continues to deny that they are targeting civilians, it is attacks like this one that show the reality of what it going on here. she lives down the street. pointing to a map used to carry the children out of the rubble .
10:06 pm
it's too much for her. and for millions across ukraine. in utter disbelief about what is happening to their homes. praying and pleading. for the violence to end. >> the rise in number of civilian casualties has prompted accusation of war crimes being committed by russia. the ukrainian president zelenskyy among those sounding the alarm. last week the international criminal court announced it was opening an investigation. into allegations and now the u.s. ambassador to the un weighing in on the matter. >> any attack on civilians is war crime. and we're working with partners to collect and provide information on this.
10:07 pm
so that we can investigate this. and have it ready in the event that war crimes are brought before this government. >> joining me now from washington. former u.s. ambassador at large for war crimes during the clinton administration. and author of all the missing souls. it's good to have you with us. the icc says it's going to fast track a war crime investigation. dozens of countries asked for one. allegations. how difficult is it to successfully bring a war crime case? >> it's always difficult. it's always and requires a tremendous amount of expertise. and detail examination of the documents, forensic evidence. etc. however, in this conflict, it is actually not as difficult as we experienced in other conflicts.
10:08 pm
the reason is that the amount of indiscriminate shelling sp assault on civilian populations is so obvious, so blatant, documented by the hour. by the media, by the citizens of ukraine. by governments, by over head imagery. it is probably the most documented record of ongoing war crimes in the last 30 years. we have a lot of experience with this. it's also important to remember, that these attacks on civilians are not just isolated instances where you examine it. and say was that a mistake in missile firing or was that really a legitimate firing on a target of military value? these are all taking place under an illegal act of aggression. in other words, when you have an
10:09 pm
aggressive war. and this is clearly one. then the entire assault, every missile firing. every tank firing. by the russian military, has an illegal character to it. >> cases can be brought of course against not only those committing crimes but also those ordering or condoning them. that could lead to charges against president putin. could you see such a thing happening? i think -- i read you said he's making it easy for prosecutors. >> that's right. he's making it easy. and it will happen. the icc is now officially investigating this. it was unprecedented. that 39 member state governments of the icc actually referred this matter to the icc.
10:10 pm
that's never happened before. that's totally unprecedented. so there's an official investigation. and it's usually hard and war crimes cases. to identify the very top commanders having commanded the commission of the war crime. because you have to work your way up the chain. they don't usually put things in writing. in this case, vladimir putin on an almost daily base is incriminating himself. publicly. as being directly associated with all of the military assaults on civilian populations. and so it will be an easier case. i predict that with probably within a few months, he will be indicted by the icc. >> does it complicate matters that neither ukraine nor russia or u.s. for that matter signed onto the court? >> well, it does not complicate
10:11 pm
this particular situation. i think the united states can frankly be very supportive of the international criminal court effort. with respect to the provision of information that constitutes evidence with over head imagery. with the diplomatic support at the united nations and elsewhere. that can demonstrate we're behind the icc investigation. even though we're not a party to the court. it's entirely possible and frankly the people republic of china as much as it may dislike the international criminal court, it's going to have a hard time arguing that what is being investigated by the court should not be investigated. rather it should be. and so, i don't think that's going to be much of a set back for the icc. >> i know you seen parallels. how much of a weapon are the sanctions currently imposed? because i know you spoke about
10:12 pm
holding those in place. until the indicted sent to trial. there's precedent for that. >> yes sanctions were used very effectively by friend in the european union. and by the yitunited states and canada. and nato nations. held in place until in particular the leader of serbia was deposed and surrendered to stand trial. and the general and president of the bosnia republic. they had to be surrendered to the hague. before the full package of sanctions could be lifted against serbia. i argue this is a much larger conflict. much more serious in terms of the damage and casualties facing us. at least in the future. and it's absolutely imperative that frankly the russian people
10:13 pm
and the russian leer leadership understand that it would be implausible for the west to lift the significant portion of those sanctions until these individuals responsible for the crimes are surrendered under kooimt of course. they have to be indictment. surrender to the hague to stand trial. the pressure will be enormous. from civil society, various governments. from just the people. the ukrainians. that those sanctions not be lifted. until of course ukraine is restored with its sovereignty and territorial integrity. that's first and foremost. also that they would not be lifted at least in the large part until the individuals are surrendered. >> it is an important discussion to be having.
10:14 pm
and your expertise in this invaluable. appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you. all right. still to come here on the program, as the fighting intensifies, the number of refugees continue to grow. we'll look at the desperation many ukrainians are facing as they try to flee by train. also the country sheltering hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees. we speak to the nations prime minister.

10:22 pm
nearly 10% of moldova entire population. in an interview, moldova prime minister spoke with us about how she's managing the crisis. and shared her thoughts on russia's unprovoked attack. >> we strongly condemn the military attack on ukraine. and we have called for peace ever since the beginning of the war. we are seeing an extraordinary humanitarian crisis. so already 230,000 people have crossed the moldova border from ukraine. so every eighth child is now a refugee. three-fourths of the refugees are actually staying with family. a will the of the ukrainians have friends or relatives in moldova. but also regular people have just taken in ukrainian

10:24 pm
moldova. on the border with ukraine. this separatist region has russian troops on territory. we have called continuously for the withdrawal of the troops. and we have a negotiating formatt with the separatist region. we are currently seeing no signs of involvement in the military conflict. and we expect this to remain so. moldova is a neutral state. it's military neutrality is in the constitution. we expect everyone to respect this status. >> all right. the resistance in one port city is kept the russians at bay. there's a cost to stalling the invasion. coming up, a report from --.

10:36 pm
foreign minister there. what are you expecting? >> we are not expecting to hear from anything we haven't heard before. on the key question you mention if and how china will help russia minimize the impact of severe western sanctions. we have seen some indications in the past few days. the answer is it depends. for chinese companies or institutions with large exposure to the western market it seems to be at least willing to consider compliance with western sanctions. br other chinese entities without exposure the response maybe quite different. we're waiting for a lot of details to emerge. the chinese government said they're willing to maintain and strengthen normal trade and economic relations with russia. back to the question in terms of what china will do to help end the war. at least before now despite beijing public insistence. it's clear to they are sticking with putin. who of course has been described
10:37 pm
by chinese president xi jinping as his best friend. that personal relationship has made it very challenging for beijing to really climb down or move away from that so called no limits partnership with russia. one he had a phone call with blinken last saturday. which he said china respects all nations sovereignty. obviously that sounds increasingly hollow. as their best friend is continuing this invasion of the neighbor and then of course against the suggested nato east ward expansion is the root cause of the conflict. that of course is a key russian talking point. >> all right. in beijing for us. appreciate it. now, more companies are severing ties with russia over its invasion in ukraine. streaming giant netflix joining entertainment companies in pausing operations in russia. it will stop selling and providing its video services there. netflix hasn't said what will happen to existing subscriber

french president mock ron and russian president putin discussed evacuations and safety of ukraine nuclear power plant on a phone call sunday. according to to a read rout from the kremlin. french president expressed concern about the safety of the nuclear power plant. after russian forces attacked and took control of it last week. the head of the international atomic energy agency says russian forces have now switched off mobile net works and the internet at the nuclear power plant. meaning officials are unable to get reliable information from the site through the normal channels. the iaea says they're concerned about problems with food availability and supply at the plant. ukraine is home to some of the largest nuclear power plants in europe. russian military seized control
10:50 pm
of the chernobyl nuclear disaster site. i spoke with a research associate with the project on managing the atom. at the she spoke with potential risks at a ukrainian nuclear facility. take a look at this. >> paula, it is extremely concerning, these are high security facilities, they require specially trained personnel to operate them. they're very, very rigorous, safety and security protocols, that need to be executed at all times. and we really don't know how this operation is going to happen under the military administration, under the military command. we know the ukrainian nuclear
10:51 pm
operator had informed the iea that the personnel and management of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant were told to directly report to this military occupying force that, yes, a new shift of workers were allowed to come in after the shelling, after the power plant was taken over. the previous shift had worked there for almost 24 hours under the shelling. this is extremely dangerous. we can imagine these people who are operating, you know, a radioactive and nuclear facility and they're working under duress. and not only that, they are clearly concerned about the safety and well-being of their families that live in the town nearby. i mean most of the town is the actual, you know, families and the workers of the power plant
10:52 pm
themselves. >> yes. such good points on the crisis there. now, earlier, cnn spoke with anya makandushi, former adviser to joe biden when i he was vice-president and the during the annexation of crimea by russia. she feared something like this would happen especially as the russian president continues to isolate himself. >> 2014 this wasn't something we were foreseeing. we, of course, feared he would push further into the east, take a city like mariupol in order to create a land bridge to crimea, this kind of all-out assault on the entire country honestly wasn't something we believed at that time would happen. but in terms of what changes, i do believe that we're probably looking at three things. one of them is what happened in belarus. the sustained protests, how close belarus came to actually
10:53 pm
getting rid of lukashenko this year who was the only one in power longer than putin in europe and clearly, putin responded very aggressively to that. the second is putin's complete mismanagement of covid. at one point, we had officials from russia couple days ago, some estimate over the course of a year russia lost a million people even if they weren't all classified as covid deaths but clearly that had a tremendous impact. and third is just that he has been increasingly isolated. we've seen that he has lost or gotten rid of any adviser that might have challenged him in any way and over the course of the last year, his rhetoric has completely mirrored the most ultra nationalists in his circle and i think you see that this kind of isolation and this kind
10:54 pm
of echo chamber is one of the reasons that he anticipated that this invasion would be quick and easy, despite the fact that, i think, any analyst would have predicted that, you know, the ukrainian people would not have greeted, you know, russian soldiers with, you know, or any of the other analysis that seemed to factor into the decision to do this. >> now amid the war and bloodshed a couple in ukrainian is focusing, in fact, on their growing love. we meet the newly weds who decided there was in fact, no time like the present. ♪ >> reporter: this is love, in a time of war. a military chaplain led the ceremony taking place near a check point in kyiv, since both bride and groom are part of
10:55 pm
ukraine territorial defense unit. the venue may have been unconventional, but vows were made, and a blessing bestowed on the happy couple. been together 20 years. they said an official marriage never meant much to them until now. says, we decided to get married because we live in challenging times. you never know what is going to happen next. his bride, lesya, adds, we need to live in the moment. we must take as much as we can from life. members of their unit attended the ceremony holding white roses and what's a wedding without cake? champagne toast, and there was even an honored guest. >> the present for every ukrainian to finish the war. every ukrainian have just one
10:56 pm
goal, to stop the war. to stop the getting killed civilians, people, womens, it's a huge hope for everyone, not just in ukrainian. >> reporter: a fleeting distraction from the bloodshed in ukraine. a reminder of what the country is fighting for. >> incredible. paula newton. our breaking news coverage from ukraine continues right after our break. nina's got a lot of ideas for the future. and since anyone can create a free plan at fidelity, nina has a a plan based on what matters most to her. and she can simply focus on right now. that's the planning efeffect. from fidelity. alright, so...cordlessss headphones, you can watch movies through your phone? and y'all got electric cars? yeah. the future icrunk!
