♪ the barnes firm, injury attorneys ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪ >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello, everyone. i'm john vause live in lviv, ukraine. we'd like to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world. we begin this hour with breaking news in ukraine. right now we're still waiting to hear about casualties coming amid mounting evidence of possible war crimes near the capital kyiv. a warning the video and images you're about to see are disturbing and hard to watch. cnn teams on the ground captured these images on a mass grave in bucha. the mayor says up to 300 people

many of them civilians could be buried there. the discovery of that mass grave came soon after images which revealed bodies strewn across streets, some with hands tied behind their backs. others seemingly killed execution style with a shot to the back of their head. bucha and other towns near kyiv the death toll remains unclear. still searching for bodies and those efforts have been slow because the area has been heavily mined by russian it comes as russian forces withdraw from parts of ukraine refocusing their efforts and offensive on the donbas region to the east. that's according to a new report from british defense ministry. it also says mercenaries are being moved into this region. meanwhile ukraine's president accusing russia of trying to wipeout the country and its people. >> translator: indeed this is genocide. the elimination of the whole nation and the people. we are the citizens of ukraine.

we have more than 100 nationalities. this is about the destruction and extermination of all these. we are the citizens of the ukraine, and we don't want to be subdued to the policy of the russian federation. this is the reason we are being destroyed and exterminated. >> russia denies targeting civilians in this conflict. the ministry of defense claims the images out of bucha are fake. cnn's fred pleitgen went there himself. he witnessed the atrocities, and a warning his report includes disturbing and graphic images. >> reporter: well, as the russians continue to withdraw from areas here around kyiv and ukrainians move into these territories i think two things are becoming increasingly clear. the one hand a lot more russian military quote was taken out than anybody would have thought

and also civilians came to harm as well. we witnessed a lot of it first-hand. here's what we saw. as russian forces retreat scenes of utter destruction. whole blocks of houses flattened and ukrainians saying they believe dead bodies are still lying underneath. but here the dead also lay in the open. ukrainian national police showed us this mass grave in bucha saying they believe up to 150 civilians might be buried here, but no one knows the exact number. people killed while the russian army occupied this town. this is what it looks like when the hope is crushed. vladimir has been searching for his younger brother, dmitri. now he's convinced he lies here though he can't be 100% sure. the neighbor accompanying him with strong words for the russians. why do you hate us so much, she

asks. since the 1930s you've been abusing ukraine. you just want to destroy us. you want us gone, but we will be -- everything will be okay. i believe it. video from bucha shows bodies in the streets after russian forces left the area. some images even show bodies with hands tied behind their backs. the russian defense ministry denies killing civilians and claims images of dead civilians are, quote, fake. but we met a family just returning to their house, which they say was occupied by russian soldiers. they show us the body of a dead man in civilian clothes they had found in the backyard. his hands and feet tied with severe bruises and a shell casing still laying nearby. russia's military appears to have suffered heavy losses before being driven out of the area around kyiv. this column of armored vehicles in bucha completely destroyed. the way the ukrainians tell us

is that the russians were trying to go towards kyiv and they were then intercepted by ukrainian drones, artillery and javren anti-tank weapons. they say many were and others fled the scene. a police officer said the russian troops were simply too arrogant. they thought they could drive on the streets and just go through, he says. they would be greeted. maybe they think it's normal to drive around looting, destroy buildings and mock people, but our people didn't allow it. and now it appears all the russians have withdrawn from here. ukraine says it is now in full control of the entire region around kyiv. but it is only now that the full extent of the civilian suffering is truly coming to light. what we saw there in bucha was obviously awful, but, unfortunately, it's not something that is necessarily unique just to that one small

town around the capital of kyiv. in fact, just today we were in various other places, various other small towns and satellite towns around the ukrainian capital. and every single one of them we saw the same scene, utter destruction, destroyed buildings where local authorities said there's still dead people underneath, dead bodies in the street, dead bodies in back yards. and as the time progresses and ukrainians make more inroads and access a lot of these areas, unfortunately, they're probably going to find more of the same. >> fred pleitgen there with that report. thank you, fred. now, as word gets out about these mass killings in bucha there's been condemnation around the world. let's get live to london. yes, people are outraged. yes, world leaders have said they must do something talking about sanctions and more military aid for ukraine. who's saying what? >> reporter: we've heard a unified response from european leaders, nato and officials of

these horrific attacks we've seen in bucha and across ukraine learning there may be further war crimes committed in that bucha region as we heard from fred pleitgen's report. and it's gotten a strong response from european leaders and we heard from boris johnson describing this as despicable. calling for an urgent independent investigation into these attacks. we also heard from jens stoltenberg. he issued a stark warning, too. take a listen. >> it is a brutality against civilians we haven't seen in europe for decades. and it's horrific and it's absolutely unacceptable that civilians are targeted and kills. >> reporter: we've heard from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. he's called for an investigation

to be taken up by the international criminal court. that echoed calling for independent investigative teams to travel to these regions in ukraine to gather evidence. we've heard from european leaders. they say they will support these efforts. they want to help facilitate these investigations and are calling to russia to be held to account for these allegations of war crimes. as you can imagine russia has repeatedly denied these allegations sticking to its narrative the images, the footage we're seeing coming out of bucha and other regions out of ukraine are falsified, thahave been fabricated and part of a concerted media campaign to distort the real story of what's happening in ukraine. that of course has been the narrative russia has pushed throughout its invasion. and as we've seen in fred's reporting that's simply not true, and that will be held up according to the international criminal court and european leaders if an international investigation is carried out.

>> we've heard from nato and the u.s. and pretty much expected the reaction there, but what about china or india, the two countries which are trying to play it both ways here with this invasion? >> well, we haven't had any really strong response from china or india at this stage with regards to the attacks we've seen in bucha. they have taken a more neutral line with regards to russia's attacks against ukraine. we saw late last week the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov speaking with his indian counterpart. they have really issued a more neutral line. they want to stick to that neutral line. of course they're not putting forward sanctions. they're not putting forward any tough measures we've seen similar to what we've seen from the european union. wave also heard from the european commission ursula vonder line and other officials

they've call on china not to interfere with european sanctions. we haven't heard that firm response as we have done with european and nato leaders. >> the silence on this issue speaks volumes. thank you. a similar story for a little bit longer. joining me is an independent journalist in kyiv. her recent book features her six year reporting from russian annexed crimea. thank you for taking the time to speak with us. i'm wondering is there any way to explain why russian soldiers appeared to have carried out mass murder in these towns and villages they occupied for weeks? >> yeah, to -- it's something we're trying to grasp on our own, just to understand the areas we're speaking about it's

quite nice suburbs of the ukrainian capital where 100,000 people live, the people largely well-off or a nice neighborhood. and it has not any political significance. i'm covering the war in ukraine for eight years and all those times what would be the military target and object in ukraine. okay, they want to secure for instance the eastern part of the country. but i think what happened really changed the course of the war a lot. it could be explained also by the 20 years of the russian propaganda which somehow built into the , you know, image of ukrainians and dehumanize them in the eyes of the russians. when i was reading the testimonies of one of the soldiers who committed rape it was a report by human rights watch. he's 20 years old. he doesn't remember soviet

union. he was too old. he was born after putin was in power. apart from this idea what largely aukrainians agree and president zelenskyy expressed that today the task of russia is really to punish all the ukrainians. and by the ukrainians they mean the people who do not agree with him. so my concern, first of all, and i think that a lot should be done in terms of investigation not just about vladimir putin but the people who were actually in those towns. it happened recently and there are so many witnesses, so it's possible to bring it to an international accord. but what is more important we see it in other towns in sumy

region and in kharkiv and other regions liberated. first and foremost of the ukrainian region of the donbas just to go on shortly where we're expecting the most severe fighting within the next weeks. and we expect also -- and this is also the reason to say why those towns should be defended. >> bucha proves it's beyond anything europe has seen since world war ii. partners know our needs, tanks, combat aircraft, heavy air defense systems. provide them now. is this only way to stop putin is with force? and can ukraine defeat the russians with just military force from the west? >> there is no other way, i should say. i'm a journalist focused on human rights for all those

years. and especially within the 40 days of the war there's no signal anything else apart from the ukrainian military stopping the russian military from occupying the towns. nothing else had been so far successful. and just recently talking to the civilians, talking to the governors in the donbas, for instance, where we really expect the major assault within probably next days it's exactly the only thing they ask. of course the humanitarian help is good, but the humanitarian aid isn't really helping the atrocities from taking place. >> i'm sorry, we just dropped out for a moment there. very quickly, some level of support for russia in the eastern part of the countries but has vladimir putin successfully wiped that out? is there any support at all for the russians in what they're doing here?

>> look, i think things really changed eight years ago. but the part of the donbas region had been occupied. it's under the russian control for eight years. and what is also tragic that the young conscripts they are with the russian army and i should say they are sent as of course canon fodder to the fights, and then the professional russian military do the like the most sophisticated job. but of course we see this anti-ukrainian sentiment was also fueled through the russian media. however, the cities which are hurt the most, for instance, the town of mariupol, it's a russian speaking town of the donbas. it's exactly the area where the foreign reporters for years referring like the place where possibly there's some resistance to russia. but what really happens changes

the course. because the people apolitical or the people who probably preferred to stay away especially in that region, they definitely changed their minds. and they are of course concerned if the kind of people in kyiv who have nothing to do with this war for many year -- for last years were treated in this way, what would happen to the ukrainian and donbas which kind of demonstrated its position to the ukrainian state for the last eight years? >> natalia, thank you so much for being with us. speaking with us about the situation in donbas and got good analysis of what the russian military is capable of doing. thank you so much. well, millions have fled ukraine but not all staying away. coming up next here on "cnn newsroom," find out why thousands of ukrainians are now returning home despite the threat of the ongoing war.

welcome back. humanitarian aid groups are still doing their best to reach vulnerable ukrainians to get them out of harms way.

but continued russian air strikes are making it difficult. the havoc reached on the city of mariupol by russian forces. nearly 500 residents there escape that dev staying in their own vehicles on sunday. a convoy by the international committee of red cross was again denied access. some are sticking it out hoping to help those caught in the fighting. >> translator: the latest rumors we hear from official sources are that russia is moving its forces to the east and could turn into a second mariupol here. we hope the ukrainian forces will manage to hold their positions and the west helps us a lot. i'm a doctor. i can't leave. of course it's a little scary but i don't want to leave my city. i'm needed here. >> well, since this war began more than 2 million ukrainians

have fled across the border and have stayed in poland. but now 3-in-1 tens of thousands have started to return home despite the threat of war. cnn's kyung lah spoke with refugees in warsaw to find out why. >> in some ways we've almost become a accustomed to these images because they're so common now six weeks into the war. ukrainians carrying bags they can roll, their babies in tow except they are not fleeing to safety. we are on a platform, a bus platform in warsaw, poland. and what you are looking at are ukrainian refugees here in poland. but they are not running from the war. they are returning to ukraine. at the bus station in warsaw, poland, the platform is packed. but not with people arriving from ukraine. they're heading back. reality of life as a refugee more unbearable than war.

c catarina says after two weeks she's returning to kyiv. what is it like trying to live away from home all this time? >> so bad because you don't know what's wrong with your relatives, with your family. >> reporter: it's not a permanent way to live. >> yeah. >> reporter: the polish government says 2.5 million uranians have come in since the war began. 442,000 have gone from poland back to ukraine. housing is a problem as poland struggles to absorb the influx of women, children and the elderly. poland's residents have welcomed ukrainians into hair homes. but living on strange floors and out of bags can only go on for so long. poland allows ukrainians to work and collect government assistance, but there's the red tape, standing in long lines with fellow war refugees to file

the proper papers. and then there's child care and schooling, trying to raise kids with new language and cultural barriers. poland wants to help, but nearly six weeks into this war the signs of strain are getting harder to ignore. >> the polish people will welcome ukrainians whatever happens because they're fighting for our freedom and we do understand that. of course there's a certain limit, human limit what we can do. >> reporter: when you say you're at capacity, what do you mean? >> the population of my city has grown by almost 20% in a month so of course it puts an enormous strain on our cities. we're doing our best but im improvisation has to end. >> reporter: a pregnant woman who says she does not want to give birth in poland alone, that her husband has remained in ukraine to fight in the war. she wants to be with him.

another woman who owns a business who says her heart has sh shattered into a million pieces being in poland. she plans to pick up her life in ukraine. this bus to lviv just picking up. kyung lah, cnn, warsaw, poland. much needed help is on the way for moldova as it copes with the influx of refugees. funding will help support training and equipment for border management as well as efforts to counter human trafficking. nearly 400,000 ukrainian refugees have fled to moldova. russia is continuing with devastating attacks on cities such as mykolaiv. ukrainian officials said there on sunday at least one person was killed, more than a dozen injured and taken to hospital. cnn's ben wedemen has details.

>> reporter: the city of mykolaiv came under multiple missile strikes. the first one after noon local time when what appears to be cluster conditions slammed into a residential neighborhood in the center of the city. shortly afterward mykolaiv regional governor put out a video of himself walking down the street saying that russians were trying and failing to panic residents at a time many people are beginning to return to their homes after having fled the city. the russian strikes killed one person and wounded more than a dozen according to a statement put out later by the governor's office. meanwhile uranian deputy prime minister has accused russian forces of detaining 11 mayors and killing one in areas under russian control, although cnn cannot independently verify those claims. she said the ukrainian government would alert the international committee of the red cross, the united nations

and other international organizations to their captivity. i'm ben wedemen, cnn, reporting from mykolaiv. some ukrainians they're heading to the u.s.-mexico border in hopes of asylum. priscilla alvarez has our report. >> reporter: hundreds of ukrainians fleeing the war in ukraine are arriving to the mexico border city of siwanna which sits right along the california-mexico border and there their names are being put on lists and volunteers are providing them numbers to go to the port of entry and seek asylum in the united states. volunteers on ground say in the last few days the number of ukrainians arriving has qua drupeled and the wait can take more than 24 hours with some ukrainians deciding to stay at hole hotels until their numbers are called. this is happening against the backdrop of the u.s. committing to accept up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees. while the administration has not yet revealed all of the details,

they've said it will include a full range of legal pathways that can come to the united states through the u.s. refugee program, through parole or visas and with a focus on family reunification. many ukrainians are opting to go to the u.s.-mexico border seeing that as the fastest way to get into the united states. priscilla, alvarez, cnn, washington. a quick note here. if you'd like to help the people of ukraine who are in need of shelter, need food, need water, medical supplies, everything pretty much please go to cnn.com/impact. and there you'll find ways to make sure your donation reaches the people who really truly are in need the most. we'll take a short break, but when we come back world reaction at the shock and horror of the killings in bucha.

welcome back to ow viewers in the united states and around the world. 32 minutes past the hour. i'm john vause. you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from lviv, ukraine. and after a mass grave was discovered in bucha ukrainian authorities say they're now searching for more bahhies in the kyiv region. a warning the images we're about to show you are graphic, and this is that mass grave. up to 300 people could be buried there according to the town's mayor. the president of ukraine accusing russia of genocide. the russians would like you to believe this is all staged and has denied any involvement. but a cnn crew witnessed with

their own eyes a dozen bodies piled high on church grounds. and also getting a look at the destruction on the ground left behind in the city of irpin. and the residents who are still there lashed out at russia's invasion of their city. >> translator: they're just destroying people and houses. i want to know why they are targeting this residential area. people are being torn to pieces. they are shelling and shelling. those are russian shells, putin's shells. >> again, russia denies any involvement in bucha and continues to insist despite evidence to the contrary that it does not target civilians.

well, the world has been shocked from the images from bucha. a uyaenian advisor says they already know about 400 people dead in at least three towns. many areas have not been reached yet because of the danger posed by land mines. joining me now is a senior researcher at human rights watch where she does investigations focusing on ukraine. i wonder at this point is there enough evidence to say russian troops have committed war crimes? because it seems to most people that would be the case. >> thank you. we at human rights watch have documented several cases of apparent war crimes in ukraine commit by russian force. we've documented executions, seven to be precise. one of them took place in bucha in early march and another involving the execution of six civilians took place in late february. so all the events we documented

and describe now in a report which was published yesterday took place while the areas were under russian control. we have eyewitness testimony of summary execution in bucha and residents describing the events that took place on march 4th when residents were being brought to the square where they had their documents and phones checked and russians were looking for territorial defense fighters among them. and at one point they brought in five men who were made to kneel on the side of the road, and one of them was executed with a gunshot to his head. in another case we documented russian soldiers took control of villages, two villages and rounded up six local men from one village and they executed them. and we spoke to families of these people, and family of one of them described in particular how they saw the bodies the next

day with hands behind their back lying in the outskirts of the village, and they were not able to bury the bodies for nine day. those were the cases we documented, summary executions and also documented the case of se sexual violence. it does seem only the tip of the iceberg. as more areas are -- as russians pull back and ukrainian forces come in and retake these areas that were under russian occupation for a while and i think there will be more reports coming out. >> yeah, absolutely just the tip of the iceberg. i want you to listen to one resident from a town not far from kharkiv. >> translator: this is what the russian army left behind. they probably didn't want to leave. the russians stayed here for 20 days. you live here and realize that their canons in the field are shelling kharkiv. they shelled it 60 to 70 times a day. my head hurt.

our house was shaking. >> so who is held responsible for this? if it gets to a trial, if it gets to the icc, who stands trial? is it the commander of the russian unit, is it vladimir putin himself? >> well, i think what's important to focus on right now is to make sure even if we're talking about recent findings in bucha, horrendous images and video and reporting coming out of bucha, it is very important to conduct a proper investigation first. so we don't know how these people died. we don't know how they ended up on the street. we don't know, you know, the cause of death. and what we documented as i mentioned are apparent war crimes, and they should be investigated as such. but what's happening in bucha and many other places going to be looked at now, there should be a proper investigation. you know, when we're talking about mass graves, there should

be very specific procedure with -- a proper explanation should be organized to make sure that vital evidence is preserved and bodies are identified and it's clear how they died and circumstances of their death. and in terms of accountability and justice, that's a great question. and in fact already there's several avenues to achieve accountability. and one of them, of course, is the icc, the international criminal court which cited an investigation in ukraine. the other is the independent inquire commission setup by the u.n. human rights council. another option for justice is universal jurisdiction where countries, for instance, like germany can initiate their own criminal proceedings without the crime in question having necessarily been committed on their territory or by their citizen. that only concerns grave crimes

such as war crimes and crimes against humanity. but there are several avenues and i'm sure there'll be more. >> we're out of time so have to leave it there. we appreciate you being with us today. thank you. >> thank you very much. let's get back now to the cnn world headquarters. rosemary church is there waiting for us. hey, rosy. >> do stay safe. after the break a touching story of a ukrainian father who feels compelled to document life in a war zone as he raises his newborn son. -fixed. -that's my son.. he always takes care of his mama. ooh, what's up with granny's casserole?

a very relevant song at this time. and this new ukrainian father is documenting life, raising a baby inside a war zone. alex and his newborn managed to the escape their apartment in irpen just before russian strikes reduced it to ruins. he joined cnn's jim acosta earlier to talk about why that song is so relevant now and why he documents his daily life for the world to see. >> yesterday is the right song for this situation. i've been singing it to my first son who's 25 years old and i

sing it to this kid as well. while i'm singing it now and some of the words really are about this situation. i'm not the man i used to be. there's a shadow hanging over me. this is all about the situation now. life changed completely within this time, completely. >> yeah. and it makes you think about your own kids and how you'd be able to handle things going through what you're going through, alex. we just reported about these horrific images coming out of bucha where ukrainian president zelenskyy said residents tortured and killed. what is it like for you to see these reports day after day

knowing you're one of the lucky ones? >> that's where the war actually started from the north and my heart is tearing into pieces. we were lucky to escape in the first place, but three days later it was already impossible to evacuate, and the people i know, my neighbors tried to escape in caravans of cars, and they were killed. civilians with kids, with signs of children on the cars were killed. you know, there's eyewitnesses. i am now -- i feel like this is my mission to collect those evidences, testimonies. and i help team to talk to international lawyers and to give their testimonies, and i'm present at those talks and i

really sometimes i can't stop not crying. >> of course. and what do you have to say to the russians who are claiming that -- you know, the images we're seeing of atrocities are staged and fake and so on? i mean obviously what they're saying is ludicrous, but from your perspective what is your response when you hear that sort of thing? >> nothing. i will tell them nothing. i tried for the first week to talk to my relatives, to the ones i know in russia, and they are completely silent. they are completely brainwashed, and i don't want to spend my nerves and energy on them. i'm going to collect the evidences. i'm going to help the victims and the eyewitnesses, and i'm going to be everything possible that the international trials
