waged an eight yearlong assault against kyiv and soon they could be outflanked and surrounded. of this seems to explain the urgency among western nations to supply more lethal, more effective military aid to ukraine. sources telling cnn the u.s. is now helping with the transfer of soviet era tanks from the czech republic. armored vehicles are coming from australia and germany. britain sending long-range artillery. without that increased capability for ukrainian fighters experts believe the russians could wipeout the bulk of ukraine's military in a couple of days. putin looking to a schedule to have some kind of military victory by may 9, the same day russia celebrates victory over nazi germany. the next imnls are graphic, the true horror of russian aggression on full display. journalists report at least 20

men found dead in the streets all of them wearing civilian clothes. they leave behind a trail of destruction, devastation and death. cnn's fred pleitgen has more now from kyiv. >> reporter: it's certainly gotten a lot quieter here in the ukrainian capital of kyiv. we have air-raid sirens a couple of times during the day. but by and large it's certainly a lot less we've been seeing the past week and the past couple of days. the ukrainians are essentially saying the russians are leaving the districts around kyiv and are retreating. the russians of course claim this was always part of their plan and they're just pulling back right now. what we're seeing now as the russians are moving out is that they certainly have taken some serious losses. you know, i was out in some of these districts around kyiv, and we saw a lot of tank carcasses, destroyed armored vehicles and then justologist positions that were abandoned by the russians as they moved out of here. the other thing, unfortunately, we're also finding is that there

are still a lot of dead bodies that have yet to be recovered. in fact, there was some video that came out out of a district called bucha just to the northwest of kyiv where the streets just seem to be lined with corpses. the ukrainians now saying they're going to bring some away and clean that area up. the ukrainians for their part are saying this is definitely not the end. they believe the russian forces were beaten as they tried to inva invade the capital of kyiv and they believe attacks will intensify especially in the southeast of the country and it's certainly something they're bracing for. >> earlier we spoke with cnn military analyst general wesley clark. he said the ukrainians should be commended for pushing russians away from the capital, but he did warn this conflict is far from over. here's general clark. >> i think it's this great tactical success on the part of the ukrainians.

they've driven the russians back, but this is so far from over. they've got to be very, very careful not to raise expectations. what has to happen now is lots more support has to come in to help ukraine to drive the russians out, to drive them out of the south and to strengthen the ukrainian force in the donbas area. now, what's going to happen is as you can see from the map the russians are north and south of dnipro. it's going to be the next key objective. they'll cut off the ukrainian forces and holding back the separatists in the donbas. >> joining me now from kaefb is a member of ukraine's parliament. she's the leader of the voice party. thank you for taking time to speak with cnn. as we see these russian forces withdraw especially around the capital we're seeing this trail of destruction and death left behind. one city, bucha, bodies left on the streets. and you recently tweeted this.

this is bucha, the outskirts of kyiv. russians tied the hands. did you see the bodies with the hands tied behind their backs first-hand or hearing this from residents during the weeks long occupation, and do you think those russian sieges will be repeated in towns and villages elsewhere? >> thank you so much for having me. yes, i have seen these bodies with my own eyes. i have seen the destruction, and this is something i have never seen before in my life. there were so many bodies we have found grave of 300 people who were killed right there, women, children and men. and it's just unspeakable what happened there. and i cannot mention what is happening right now in occupied

territories in occupied cities where russians are still holding. we will work on fixing the destruction, but we cannot possibly return people who were kill. and we were extremely frustrated. everybody who was there will not be able to forget what we have seen. many killed were shot in the back with their hands tied behind their backs. it's like since second world war when nazis committed the same crimes. i cannot imagine who gave this order and why. they were civilian people. they were not military. >> just to be clear you're saying there are mass graves in bucha with hundreds of civilians essentially being executed or murdered, their hands tied

behind their back and shot in the back of the head. this is compelling evidence that russians have committed war crimes during this invasion of ukraine. you want putin to be held not only accountable but to stand trial in ukraine. is that even in any way possible? >> i think the international tribune is possible. this is the point where we as politicians, members of parliament are working. we are getting evidence. we are creating the judicial baseline for that. so at some point not only putin but everybody who gave the word, who executed on the orders will be able to come to trial and be prosecuted and then executed. we want the nuremburg process and this is something that need to happen. because what we have seen, it's not war crimes. it's just crimes against humanity. it's a devastation. how is it possible that people

would do something like that? and here in the peaceful outskirts of the capital. you know, like more than a month ago these people were alive. they were living their normal lives. they were, like, creating -- everything was just normal. and now it is -- it is like in the movies from the second world war, but it is worst because you can see it in your own eyes. >> it is horrific what has been happening. there are also reports, too, the russian soldiers have been using children as human shields, placing them on tanks, holding them hostage so their parents would not give away the position of the russian soldiers, you know, to the enemy, if you like. what do you know about that? >> we had evidences of russian soldiers using children. we know the children had been taken back with russian army,

again, as hostages to make sure that ukrainian army wouldn't be following them. we have also seen ukrainian women being burned alive and raped or taken away for the same reason. this is all being documented so we can then present it to the world and show what ukrainian nation is suffering. >> oh, my god. that is horrendous. maybe negotiations will allow for a meeting between president zelenskyy and putin. how do you trust a leader like putin who's a proven liar? >> we cannot be trusting putin, and this is definite all the agreements if any neds to start with the security guarantees that would come from putin, the security guarantees from turkey,

from united states, from united kingdom and some european countries probably. that should be point one from all the negotiations. then we can think of talking to putin and having some agreements with him. because so far everything that we have seen from him was just simple breaking his word and bringing more and more death and devastation to ukrainian land, to ukrainian people. we cannot trust him. we can only gather all the powers from the world to make sure that at some point we are all standing against him. >> you have some horrific stories that you've shared with us over the last few moments, and we thank you for that. and wish you all the best. even as russia pulls back in some parts of the country, aid groups are still struggling to reach ukrainians and get them

out of harms way. the international committee of the red cross has managed to get to irpin in recent days, treating the injured, hoping to return with more supplies. they were unable to reach mariupol an saturday after conditions made it impossible to continue. some 100,000 residents remain trapped in mariupol. more than 4.1 million refugees have fled ukraine since the fighting began. despite russian promises not to target those corridors the journey out can still be incredibly teenagers leaving some to find safety through more unconventional methods. cnn's ben wedemen has that story. >> reporter: everything will be all right, he sings, for everyone of us. words of comfort for those desperately in need. popular singer and a former

lawmaker goes from village to village with a simple message. >> smile. >> reporter: his church in the village is now home, temporary home for those who have managed to flee russian occupied territory. volunteering in the kitchen, they find peace but not peace of mind. it's really hard, she says. people here are really nice but i just want to go home. a mechanic in peacetime now runs a complex operation feeding and housing the displaced. >> this war make us like a family, very close now. >> reporter: the church feels like an oasis of the ordinary, far from the madness outside.

early evening and a bus approaches marked russian for children. alas, no guarantee of safety. it's coming from a town under russian control. but it didn't pass through a humanitarian corridor negotiated by the red cross. the arrangement whereby these people are able to get out of the russian occupied areas to here is very simple. men on the bus give russian soldiers food and cigarettes, and the russian soldiers let them pass. she made it out but remains tormented by fear for those who couldn't get away. everything is really bad, she says. her parents are still hiding out in the basement. she hopes they'll get out tomorrow. ben wedemen, cnn, southern

welcome back. i'm john vause. russia's war here in ukraine has claimed the life of another journalist. killed by russian forces in kyiv according to the office of ukraine's attorney general. the photo journalist was found unarmed with two gunshot wounds. he'd worked for a number of major western news outlets including reuters and bbc. his bio described himself as a documentary photographer, a videographer, a father and a human being. now the russian government dealing the weight of those global sanctions doing everything it can to protect its economy and trying to keep it afloat. meantime a fuel depot near the ukraine border was recently attacked, and for more on both of those issues here's atika schubert. >> two issues we're following out of russia today. first are the attempts to try and keep the russian economy from collapsing under the weight

of sanctions. russia's central bank has moved aggressively to try to stabilize the currency, jacking up interest rates, imposing very strict capital controls, and now the russian ruble is at about the same level as it was before the start of the invasion. russia also threatened to cut off gas supplies to europe unless existing energy krangts were paid in rubles. that deadline was friday, and it came and went and gas is still flowing to europe, but i think it's important to remember that europe is still heavily dependent on russia, nearly 40% of its energy needs come from russian oil and gas. now, the second issue we're following is this anouncment by the russian ministry of defense that the ukrainian air force conducted a missile attack on a fuel depot inside russian territory on the city of belgorod. this is located across the border from ukraine. it's very close to the eastern

ukrainian city of kharkiv. now, a video has surfaced of this attack. cnn has geolocated the video, but we cannot confirm that the two helicopters seen in that video are, in fact, from the ukrainian military. the ukrainian government has refused to deny or confirm the attack of citing local emergency services, however, russia's state news agency, tas, is reporting that 16,000 cubic meters or more than 3 million gallons in fuel were set on fire as a result of that attack. so that would be a significant logistical blow for russian troops that have been using belgorod as a staging ground for conducting attacks in ukraine. i'm atika schubert, for cnn in valencia, spain. >> pope francis has not ruled out a trip to ukraine. he was asked by a reporter if he was thinking about coming to kyiv, and the pope replied it was on the table. pope francis also received a

photograph and a letter from a family of the fox news cameraman who was kill in ukraine along with his producer. the pope told the family he is up there. russia's brutal war in ukraine follows a pattern of military aggression going back more than 20 years. cnn's matthew chance covered all of those conflicts and he filed this report. >> reporter: russian troops fresh from battle cruising through the devastated streets of a deserted city virtually leveled by rockets and artillery fire. you can see the apartment blocks in the background reduced to rubble. it could easily be ukraine in the past few weeks, but this is footage from 22 years ago in chechnya, a break away russian region brutally suppressed by the kremlin. an early glimpse how uncompromising vladimir putin would be. the almost unanimous opinion of these soldiers is if he's

elected on sunday vladimir putin will make a strong pres dependent to lead this country and its armed forces. at the time he vowed to chase terrorists to the toilet and wipe them out in the outhouse. he later expressed regret for those words but not the actions. europe's first war of the 21st century was also putin's war. the tiny georgian enclave was a back quarter for former soviet union. but it was here that putin got a taste for violating international boundaries, intervening to support the break away region, pounding georgian forces and rolling his tanks across the border. well, there's been a lot of speculation about where the russian troops are. well, here they are. well, inside georgian territory and outside the main conflict

zone. the big question is how far will they go? then as now the invasion provoked international scorn. but just after the short georgia war putin sees confidence, relations in the west would endure. do you think that period of post-war calm has come to an end? >> i think no. i hope not. >> reporter: he was right. the western backlash against a resurgent russia never came until this. in 2014 protesters toppled the pro-russian president in neighboring ukraine, and putin moved quickly to secure russian interests. what astonishing developments in crimea because without a shot being fired russia has moved into the ukrainian territory, and despite international condemnation effectively brought

it under its control. sanctions followed but so too did an unstoppable wave of nationalism. president putin, the victor of crimea, had for many russians restored a sense of pride. >> translator: we understand that it is not about the territory which we have enough of. it is about historical routes about our speirituality and statehood. >> reporter: soon putin unleashed his growing military swagger even further. the shock and awe of russian air strikes in syria propped up the regime of bashar al assad and a missile helping to change the course of the syrian conflict and sending a potent message of russian resurgence. this really does feel like the center of a massive russian

military operation. the air is filled with the smell of jet fuel. and the ground shudders with the war of those war planes returning from those bombing missions. now the missiles and the roars are being heard once again. putin's destruction in chechnya then georgia then syria is now being visited on ukraine. of course he's ridden out tough sanctions and international condemnation before, but this time it's unclear how much support putin has at home. this is one of those russian soviet era vehicles which is completely burned out. given painful russian losses on the battlefield it's unclear too whether he'll now double down as he has in the past or back down like never before. matthew chance, cnn. well, the ukrainian

government is raising money through the sale of digital art through nonfungible tokens or nfts. according to the meta history museum of war the proceeds will support ukraine and civilians. they raised mer than half a million dollars. the digital art pieces made by ukrainian and foreign artists depicting various moments and aspects. stay with us african voices change makers is up next. for our viewers in north america our rolling coverage of putin's war of choice continues in just a moment. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from ovoverreacting to allergens al season long. psst! psst! flononase all goo. it was a traragedy. with knockoff batteries,

>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. welcome back. i'm john vaus live in lviv, ukraine, with the very latest developments of the russian invasion here. we've received apparent reports of a russian air strike on a fuel depot in odesa. it's creating plumes of smoke that can be seen for kilometers. one witness reported hearing six explosions at the depot. now ukraine's deputy defense minister says the entire kyiv region has been liberated, cleared of russian forces. cnn cannot independently confirm

that claim, but still ukrainian troops have been gaining ground around the capital as the russian military says it's de-escalating. meantime u.s. intelligence now believes russia is seeking a victory of sorts by trying to take control of eastern ukraine by early may. a possible target date could be may 9 when russia celebrates victory over the naughties during world war ii. those ukrainian soldiers said it was a strong morale over the russian fighters, still life in kyiv become difficult as residents suffer acute shortages over weeks. cnn's christian amanpour reports. >> reporter: the first thing you notice approaching the front northeast of kyiv are the lines of villages waiting for humanitarian hand outs. they receive a bag of bread and basics to get them through these difficult days. the first week of the war a shell hit us near the greenhouse.

we barely survived, says this woman. we had help from strangers around us. they gave us bread and canned food. we wouldn't have managed otherwise. no one here knows when this war will end or whether russia still has designs on kyiv. the front line is about a mile away. for now an uneasy calm prevails ever since the ukrainian defenders stopped the russian advance here. it was february 28th, they say, day four of the war. they want to show us how they did it, but first we have to clamor over the bridge they downed to see the armored column they managed to take out. the riverbank is littered with their skeletons. this was a turkey shoot russian armored vehicles and tanks have come off the road to avoid the anti-tank mine only to find themselves unable to cross the bridge and unable to reverse in time. ukrainian soldiers tell us none of the soldiers inside survived. a little further up the road two tanks have been virtually

smelted, blasted almost to smith renes. a veteran fighter proudly tells us this was his handiwork. we all here have one role to keep the enemy off our land, he says. first thing they did when they see the village they started to shell houses just like that. they didn't see us, didn't know we were here, so they just started to work on houses. so i took the tank in my sights and i fired a rocket and good-bye to him. the destroyed vehicles are stamped with an "o." the ukrainian officers here tell us this identifies them as russian units that entered from belarus to the north. oleg is the officer who commanded this operation. as for now looking at previous fighting we've had i can tell you that we are trained better, he tells me. we have stronger morale and spirit because we're at home. they are afraid, but they go because they're made to. he's been battle hardened ever since the first russian invasion in 2014. he says his side has enough

weapons, ammunition and determination to win. i can tell you i'm almost sure the russians are regrouping and not retreating, he says. besides, we are preparing ourselves to go forward. we're not preparing just to defend here. u.s. and british intelligence say putin seems to have, quote, massively misjudged this situation and clearly overestimated the abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory. this old lady tells us i have seen one war and here we go again. i wish putin would go away. the people of this land remain stalwart and the soldiers remain dug in hoping they can continue to withstand whatever putin has in store for them next. christian amanpour, cnn, east of kyiv. >> with that let's head back now to new york. alison

there is a glimmer of hope on the peace talks front. there is a possibility of direct talks between ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and russian president vladimir putin. that's the word from a member of ukrainian negotiation team that's in talks with russia. he says the talks were brokered by the turkish president erdogan and that the talks would like lay take place in turkey. according to the negotiator the issue of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, has so far been a sticking point in the negotiations. joining me now is steven piper. he's a research fellow at

stanford university, and former u.s. ambassador to ukraine. thanks so much for being with us. >> glad to be here. >> well, how do you see the war in ukraine playing out. how is this going to be resolved? is it resolved through negotiations, or is it just something going to be happening on the battlefield in kind of diplomacy by force? >> well, there is a negotiation to be had. i believe that president zelenskyy is prepared for a serious negotiation. unfortunately, however, there's no sign yet that moskow is prepared seriously to engage in negotiations. and so i think that for the time being the fighting is going to continue, and it would be useful for the west to continue the flow of weapons to ukraine to better enable the ukrainians to defend themselves and at some point perhaps force the kremlin to conclude it cannot achieve its goals on the battlefield and

that it needs to negotiate. but, unfortunately, we're not yet at that point. >> do you see russia ever getting to that point, and how much can putin really be trusted? >> well, i think there is some point where simply the accumulation of both losses of russian soldiers bear in mind the estimate is as many as 10,000 russian solevers and been killed in action in ukraine in just five weeks. at some point presumably it becomes too painful and the kremlin will look to negotiate. and that's why it's important that the west continue to provide arms to the ukrainians so they can reach that point. now, any negotiation once you get to it is going to be very difficult. there's some hard questions there, but it's pretty clear that president zelenskyy on the ukrainian side is prepared for a serious give and take negotiation. the question is when will moskow

reach that point? >> if true peace talks between russia and ukraine unfold one possibility on the table is that ukraine becomes a neutral state. first explain to us what that exactly means? and is that a good idea? and would that really ensure peace in the region? >> the russians one of their demands is that ukraine be neutral. and president zelenskyy has said he's prepared to move away from ukraine's ambition to join nato. ukrainian negotiators last week said they were prepared to accept neutrality. that would be non-bloc status for ukraine. they would agree there would be no foreign military bases on ukrainian territory and they would agree ukraine would not develop nuclear or other weapons of mas destruction. however, ukraine has said for that kind of nuclear ukraine they would want firm security guarantees that there would not be a future invasion. and that's where it gets a little bit difficult because some ukrainians suggested what they're looking for is something like the article 5 security

guarantee in the nato treaty. that's the article that says an attack against one will be considered an attack against all. and at this point i'm not sure if there are many countries that would be prepared to commit to ukraine that they would be prepared to give ukraine a guarantee that they would come to its aid with their military forces for russia to invade at some future point. to my mind the best security guarantee actually, though, would be to help ukraine acquire and maintain the military with sufficient weapons, that they could either defeat another russian invasion or better yet make it appear to the russians that no invasion would make sense in the first place because the cost would be so high. >> do you think sanctions at this point are having any impact on russia? you know, we're seeing its economy certainly go through devastation right now, but is it having any impact, you think, in what's happening on the battlefield? >> i think the sanctions are definitely having an impact on

the russian economy. there's already been in the last six weeks, been an acceleration in inflation. russia is headed for double digit inflation in the coming months. there's projections for example by the international institute the russian economy will contract by 15% this year. that's more than the american economy contracted during the great depression. so there are going to be severe impacts on the economy. the problem is that those impacts are coming in the months to follow, and they may not be applying enough immediate pressure to cause the kremlin to change its course. now, there are certainly people, the head of the russian central bank, the russian minister of finance who understand just how much damage it's going to be doing to the russian economy as these sanctions take hold, but it's not clear mr. putin in that very close circle in which he operates are having the chance

to talk to him and explain to him what's coming down the road for the economy. >> thank you for your perspective. >> thank you. now to the incredible story of one teen's survival in war torn mariupol. the 14-year-old says she turned to art as a coping strategy. she drew these sketches you see here to help distract her from the violence that surrounded her family as they hid inside a basement while russia attacked the city. >> translator: i drew my fears. i was afraid of the war. i was afraid when they shot in the streets. every day it got worse and worse. then strong explosions began. even in the basement the walls began to shake. the shooting also hit into the basement a little and then a huge fire started in the house. it was very scary. when i came out of the basement

into the street all the houses were on fire. black smoke everywhere. all houses, all glass. it was simply gone. i drew this for myself for the future so that later i could see what i experienced. >> her family sheltered in the basement for days without electricity, heating or any kind of water supply. they have since escaped to poland but had to leave her father behind. sri lanken police are cracking down. plus it's april but we just learned who'll take the stage for the final act of march madness. who's still in the running for one shining moment after the break.

ground in columbo. now, we have heard from people on the ground that media government establishments are surrounding by army personnel, barricading has taken place but people have been defying this call for a curfew. there have been sporadic protests across people chanting and asking for the administration to step down. public anger has been mounting not only because of the shortage of fuel, cooking gas, medicines and food but also against authoritarianism, against nepotism and against corruption. people are seething with anger on the ground at this point in time. a quick word on the economic crisis as well. this has been going on for a while. there's been a lot of foreign leaders who have been giving money to the sri loankan government and there is no money in the coughers at this time. they're reaching out to regional

powers for help, and people on the ground have been suffering. they've been asking a pertinent question through their protests. will the government ever face the problems we civilians are facing on ground? now, very important development took place this morning. there's been a social media ban when it comes to twitter, facebook, "watch whwhatsapp acr. we don't know if those protests will really be taking place today, but the anger is really mounting, and we saw on thursday also people gathering around the president's home protesting against him calling for his resignation. alison? >> thank you. voters in hungary are heading to the polls right now. prime minister victor orban faces a rare challenge. he's faced international criticism over hungary's back slides toward democratic
