ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to address the u.n. security council in the coming hours. a meeting that will focus on the massacre of civilians in the town of bucha just outside kyiv. and this is just some of the destruction left behind in bucha after weeks of fighting. but it is the human toll which is truly disturbing. we have seen streets in bucha littered with bodies. some with their hands tied behind their backs. cnn's team on the ground also found a mass grave with at least a dozen bodies and yet the kremlin claiming it all to be fake. dismissing the horrific scenes as little more than propaganda. satellite images suggest otherwise, though. and a warning, these images are disturbing and may be hard to watch. take a look at this. on the left, stills from a video taken on friday showing bodies in the street. on the right, images taken from a satellite on friday and you see those same bodies lying exactly the same place. ukraine's president warning that the death toll in the newly liberated towns could be even higher than it is in bucha.

>> translator: there is already information that the number of victims of the occupiers may be even higher in some other liberated cities and many villages of the liberated districts of the kyiv, chernihiv, and sumy regions. the occupiers did things that the locals had not seen even during the nazi' occupation 80 years ago. the occupiers will definitely bear responsibility for this. >> all of this has now sparked outrage around the world. on monday, u.s. president joe biden called for a war crimes trial against the russian president vladimir putin. and the eu has announced a joint investigation with ukraine into possible russian war crimes. the u.s. and its allies, also, promising additional sanctions on the kremlin. we get more now from cnn's fred pleitgen. but first, and again, a warning, you are about to see disturbing, graphic images, but they reveal the brutality and sheer cruelty of what happened in bucha under

russian occupation. >> reporter: ukrainian authorities in bucha lead us into a basement they call a russian execution chamber. it's a grewsome scene. five bodies. their hands tied behind their backs, shot. the bullet casings collected by ukrainian police. pock marks from bullets in the walls. the ukrainians say these men were killed when russian forces used this compound as a military base while occupying bucha. an adviser to ukraine's interior minister not even trying to conceal his anger. after the liberation of bucha, five corpses of civilians were found here, he says, with their hands tied behind their backs. they were shot in the head and in the chest. they were tortured before. even the body collectors find it hard to keep their composure. this man is usually a painter. now, he collects the dead left behind after russian forces retreated from bucha.

this is not what we learned in school, he says. do you see my hands? hundreds, hundreds of dead, hundreds, not dozens. the kremlin has denied russia was behind any atrocities in bucha. now, the russians say the notion their troops having killed civilians is all fake news and propaganda but it does seem clear that they were here. that looks like a sort of fox-hole position. and over there, they seem to have dug in a tank. on the outer wall, the letter v. a symbol that russian forces painted on their vehicles before invading this part of ukraine. now, a lot of russian military hardware lies destroyed in the streets of bucha and other towns around kyiv as the ukrainians made a stand, and prevented vladimir putin's army from entering the capital city. images published shortly after russian forces left bucha show many corpses lying in the streets. some bodies had their hands tied behind their backs. president biden calls what

happened here a war crime. while visiting bucha, ukraine's president vowed to bring those behind the violence against civilians to justice. these are war crimes, he says, and they will be recognized by the world as genocide. you are here and you can see what happened. we know that thousands of people were killed and tortured, teared limbs, raped women, and killed children. and still, the dead keep piling up. many lay in this mass grave behind the main church in bucha. local authorities tell us around 150 people are buried here, but no one knows the exact number. and here, too, the scenes are tragic. vladimir has been searching for his younger brother dmitry. now, he is convinced dmitry lies here even though he can't be 100% sure. the neighbor accompanying him has strong words for the russians.

why do you hate ukraine so much, she says? since the 1930s, you have been abus abu abusing ukraine. you just wanted to destroy us. you wanted us gone but we will be. everything will be okay. i believe it. but more corpses are already on the way. at the end of the day, we meet the body collectors again. another nine bodies found in this tour alone. and it's unlikely they'll be the last. fred pleitgen, cnn, bucha, ukraine. and the white house says russia will be hit with more sanctions this week. president joe biden is also calling for war crime charges against russian president vladimir putin. we have details now from cnn's phil mattingly reporting in from the white house. >> reporter: president biden long before many of his closest advisers were willing to call russian president vladimir putin a war criminal did so himself and as the horrors of the images of what took place in bucha just

beamed around the world, he wanted to underscore that point and make clear everything he's seen since has certainly proven that to be the case. take a listen. >> he is a war criminal. we have to gather all the detail so this can be a actual -- have a war crime trial. this guy is brutal. and what's happening in bucha is outrageous. >> reporter: now, biden's comments underscore a reality here. one in which u.s. officials are not willing to call what they've seen up to this point a genocide. this is a process. a lengthy one. a multilateral one. one, which the u.s. is engaged with the international community to collect, to process, to analyze information and intelligence for and eventual legal case. when that case would actually come to pass, when anybody would actually go on trial, still very much an open question, particularly given the fact that the conflict is still very much ongoing. it was something national security adviser jake sullivan laid out to the media that, while russia may be retreating from the suburbs of kyiv, they are very much refocusing their efforts on the eastern part of the country.

and it is not going to be a short process ahead. in fact, jake sullivan said it could take months and that, in his perspective, underscored the reality of the moment. a reality where complacency simply, according to him, cannot be something that takes over with the west, with the u.s. and its key allies. more sanctions. they will be deployed in the days ahead. more lethal assistance to ukraine. humanitarian aid. that will be coming, as well. jake sullivan's point, the president's point, the u.s. perspective at this point in time is that this is going to take a long time. and while the ukrainian military has certainly performed far above expectations, better than anybody could have hoped for, this isn't ending anytime soon. and the support from allies and the u.s., the eu, and others is an absolute necessity at this point as russia prepares to reengage in a major way. in just a different part of the country. phil mattingly, c thnn, the whi house. the southern city of melitopol has been under occupation by the russians for

week. the elected mayor, ivan, joins me now from zaporizhzhia, a city located north of his hometown. apologies for mangling those pronunciations. um, but i want to get your take on what you are expecting once the russian forces withdraw. assuming ukrainian forces liberate your town. what are you hearing about what's been going on? what are your biggest concerns in terms of what's happened to the civilian population at the hands of those russian soldiers? >> one month ago, to my city come war. it start from 24th of february from close rockets shoot to our military airport that situated at -- at 1,000 meters from civilian houses and that's why

our citizens now scared. our citizens now can't understand anything but city more than one month already occupied. and now, russia federation make in our city. they stop humanitarian aid. they doesn't give us possibility to evacuate citizens. and stop all citizens in city and give them possibility only go to crimea but not to ukraine and territories that control ukraine. that's why it's dangerous situation. i think it's from our citizens. >> um, i am just curious about when you were kidnapped, when you were taken hostage by the russian forces, they interrogated you for about a week. and then, you were released in a prisoner exchange program. what did you learn about the russian soldiers whilst you were

in -- in where you were being detained or in captivity? what -- what was your impression? >> russian soldiers, it's zombie. they don't -- didn't understand anything around the situation because they known russian propaganda and that's all. when i was kidnapped in -- i ask them why you come to my city? why you come to my country? and they answer me that they want to save russian but it's very stupid because in melitopol, 95% of citizens ukrainian melitopol citizens speak only russia. they said that they will make us free from nazism but it's impossible because i am 33 years old. i didn't find any nazis in my city. and so, they said that we not

polite. we have no polite relationship of second world war but it is stupid argument too because every year, sometimes on the year, i meet with our veterans and spoke with them every year. and i know all of this. that's why russian soldiers it's a zombie. they doesn't understand situation in ukraine and all over the world. >> so, they honestly thought that they were coming to ukraine to fight the nazis because that's what they have been told by vladimir putin. and they thought that the russian language was in danger in your city where 95% of the people actually speak russian. overall, though, what was your impression of these russian soldiers in terms of, you know, their age, their experience, their world view? um, how did you find them? >> i find them that they have

only not normal situation and who sit in moscow want to make war but not to want to have some diplomatic issues and some diplomatic relationship. they want war. they want to start new russian [ inaudible ] and if now all countries of world don't be united with ukraine, war will come in other countries. in european union, in european houses, and all over the world because putin don't want to stop in ukraine. and now, ukraine -- it's a model for all civilian countries. >> mayor, we will leave it there. mayo mayor, we thank you for your time there in zaporizhzhia,

which is pretty much a safe haven right now. thank you very much, sir, for being with us. we will take a short break. when we come back, ukraine says russia has set its sights on capturing kharkiv. cnn's christiane amanpour is there as the city braces for more assaults. es into the fruits and the vegetablbles that you're growing. find more waysys to grow at miracle-gro.com ♪ baby got back by sir mix-a-lot ♪

welcome back. ukraine's defense ministry warns that russian forces are attempting to capture kharkiv. ukraine's second largest city is located nearly at russia's borders. russian forces tried to take kharkiv in the early days of the war, but they were pushed back by a strong ukrainian defense. cnn's christiane amanpour traveled to the city to meet with residents who have been sheltering underground. also, to see firsthand the devastation left behind from russia's earlier assaults. and a warning again, some images in her report are graphic. >> reporter: here in kharkiv, former-ukrainian capital, second biggest city, and one of the most important cultural sites, the great 19th century poet is hunkering down for the rest of this war. workers cover him in sandbags against the kind of destruction that's pounded this city center since the start.

the most spectacular strike was this one a month ago. a russian missile slams low and hard straight into the corner of the regional administration building. the missile struck right here, and the idea of hitting a building like this is to deny the legitimacy of the state. but the terror against civilians continues playground by playground, mall by mall, park bench by park bench. which is what we find in this residential neighborhood. people were sitting outside chatting on a sunday afternoon. kids were playing. we find the telltale pattern of a mortar that landed right here. authorities say seven people were killed in this neighborhood, many more were injured. kharkiv sits 40 miles from the russian border. it is the last major city before donbas, where russia is directing its war effort to the east. just last week, the nearby

village was liberated from the russians. this civilian says he was captured and held. when dusk falls, children are outside playing and getting the last bit of fresh air before descending underground into one of the capital's many subway stations. after 40 days of war, they have turned their temporary homes into a neighborhood. some have even decorated with fresh flowers. zena says she has been living down here since the beginning. >> oh, this is my house. this used to be my house. now, we cannot live here obviously because it has opinion bombed three times in a row. >> reporter: but this is a safe space for you? >> yes, absolutely. >> and for the kids? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: kids do what kids

do. homework and handy crafts. even this is organized marina works for an organization that plans ways to keep the children busy, entertained, and their minds off the trauma. >> here we equipped the playing grounds, this place for kids. where they can play with toys, made puzzles, and to do the things they did in their usual life before the war. >> reporter: but the trauma is never far away as we found in this underground station where civil defense are teaching kids how to protect themselves, how to recognize weapons and ordinance, and to remember never to touch. the adults are shown how to protect themselves in case of a chemical weapons attack. even this maternity hospital was damaged in a mortar strike. now, the basement has been turned into a shelter and delivery room if necessary.

birth, life continues. we met alina 30 minutes after she had delivered her baby. >> how are you feeling? >> well. she -- she is well too. my first daughter. >> reporter: your first daughter? >> yeah. >> reporter: your first child? >> yeah. >> reporter: as we're leaving, she tells us i love my country, i love my daughter, my family, my husband. and in the delirium of new motherhood, she says, everything will be great for us. christiane amanpour, cnn, kharkiv. >> still to come here on cnn. a polish teacher, ukrainian students, and obvious language gap. thank goodness for google translate. more on that in a moment. ♪ my name e is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real challenge.

supersonic wifi only from us... xfinity. welcome back, everyone. i'm john vause live in lviv, ukraine. we are following breaking news here right now. one official saying the situation has become difficult in the luhansk region, amid heavy russian bombardment as well as street fighting. this comes as disturbing images from bucha in the northwest have the capital prompting a swift global response. some nations expelling russian diplomats. others are vowing to increase sanctions and that includes the united states, which expects to announce new sanctions later this week. all of this, as more horrific images emerge and a warning, they are graphic.

bodies can be seen lying on the streets. a number of them with their hands tied behind their backs. ukraine's foreign minister warns, scenes like these may just be the tip of the iceberg. ukrainian president visited bucha on monday to see the devastation and death firsthand and said more than 300 people were killed. he expects that number to rise as the entire city is searched. he also warns civilian casualties may be even higher in other cities that have now been liberated by ukrainian forces from the russians. meantime, drone footage is showing the utter devastation in mariupol. the mayor says the city is now on the brink of humanitarian catastrophe. more than 100,000 people need to evacuate. he says the city has not had food, water, or medicine in more than a month. ukrainian authorities say their country's a full-fledged part of europe, and deserves to be protected by european security alliance. somewhere down the line but today. eu powers and nato have said they will not approbe sending t into ukraine. what the eu and u.s. are

promising to do is work on further sanctions against russia, which could mean further bans on russian enner psychiatry exports. cnn's nic robertson picks up the story. >> reporter: president biden's last big announcement before leaving brussels, that he will help the european union switch away from russian energy supplies. president biden came to brussels looking for unity, hoping to encourage more sanctions from european union leaders. they have been very concerned about sanctioning russian oil and gas because the prices of energy are going up in europe and that's inflicting pain on many of the countries here. the greek prime minister outlining just what it means for him. >> we are all already paying -- paying a price. i think we -- we -- we certainly all need to -- to reassess our growth forecast. we are faced with significant inflationary pressures as a result of the war and energy costs are really hurting and they are hurting our citizens. at the end of the day, as much as we have an allegiance to

support ukraine, we also have an allegiance to our citizens to make sure that they do not suffer, um, more than they can actually bear. >> reporter: so president biden saying he would strive to ensure the united states provides the european union with 15 billion cubic meters of lng, liquified natural gas, to help replace that gas that they are currently getting from russia. the aim would be to replace two-thirds of the gas that -- that the eu gets from russiapy the by the end of the yeah. president biden saying that money that goes to the eu to buy that russian gas is fueling president putin's war in ukraine. >> we are coming together to reduce europe's dependence on russian energy. putin has issued russia's energy resources to coerce and manipulate its neighbors. that's how he's used it. he's used the profits to drive his war machine. >> reporter: and even after president biden left brussels, european union leaders still in

hot debate about the energy issue here. nations, like greece, looking for a price cap on the cost of energy. big concerns here that outflow outfall of the war in ukraine impacting the european union, not just energy costs but all the refugees, as well. big debates here still going on in the eu. nic robertson, cnn, brussels. well, poland is now home to more ukrainian refugees than any other country. most of them are women and children. many of those children now want to go back to school and they don't speak polish and teachers there don't speak ukrainian, for the most part. but they found a way to make things work. here's kyung lah. >> reporter: to learn at the full scope of war, take a seat in miss magda's classroom. she is a polish teacher using google translate to communicate in ukrainian with her new

foreign students. her class has grown by 40% this month with new children who have just fled the only home they've ever known. you are translating on the internet as you teach. >> yes because i know only polish language. >> reporter: how important is it for you as a teacher to help these kids? >> very important. >> reporter: primary school 157 with bilingual classes has welcomed every new refugee. classes are more cramped but these public school students don't complain because they feel they already know the strangers sitting next to them. >> a lot of kids have come to our school, and some of them have told our -- us stories about what happened. they've left people that they love behind. >> reporter: edward is 13 years old, a polish student seeing the influx of war survivors come through his school doors.

>> the more we take in, the better we're doing. >> the better? >> yes. >> so you don't mind that the rooms are crowded? >> no. it's for a good cause. >> reporter: so these are all polish kids. eva is the vice director. >> it's hard. >> reporter: she feels for every child in the building and only wishes she could do more. >> especially, when i see people helping that i don't know. we can help only small part. >> reporter: warsaw's mayor tells us the strain on his city's schools is enormous. the 100,000 additional refugee children in poland's capital need an education. it's an increase of 30% just this last month. nazar is 13. he's from kyiv. your mom is here?

>> yes. >> reporter: um, your father? >> no, he stay in ukraine. >> reporter: nazar's father is a minister helping fight in the war. it took a week for nazar to escape ukraine with his mother. school offers the structure of a life he's lost. your favorite subject is? >> math. >> math? you like math? >> yes. >> reporter: is it easier being around other ukrainian kids? yes, he says. we can talk. they understand. of the 4 million refugees fleeing ukraine, half are children paying the price of adult sins. how hard is it for kids your age to live through this? >> i think it's practically impossible to go through this. it's just mind boggling how this could happen to someone that young. >> reporter: the school told us they are not experts in dealing with war trauma and there just isn't a system yet in place to

deal with these kids who are coming into the school. despite the strain, they say not one single child will be turned away. kyung lah, cnn, warsaw, poland. let's hand things back now to rosemary church standing by live at cnn world headquarters in atlanta. and rosemary, it is just so crucial to have that structure for the children because once they get into the classroom, even it is polish and they don't understand what is happening, it gives them that kind of routine that they can get used to once again. >> yeah, you are absolutely right. they need some form of normalcy to try to move forward with all of this. it's just heartbreaking to deal and to understand what they are dealing with. john, many thanks. >> absolutely. >> really appreciate it. see you at the top of the hour. well just ahead, war refugees cast out into the cold with nothing to eat. i will talk with a chef on a mission to help serve them millions of meals.

volunteers from the world central kitchen charity are helping serve meals to hundreds of thousands of people in ukraine and neighboring countries. they were in the recently liberated towns of irpin and bucha. the group's founder, chef jose andreas described what he saw there as impossible to narrate. he says he couldn't believe this was happening in the 21st century. >> you seeing in bucha those -- this elderly woman, their 70s and their 80s. um, as we were giving them a very humble plate of food and a piece of bread, have tears in

their eyes and they will give you a hug. they will give you a hug and they will not let you go. an inspiration and that these people what they went through. >> well joining me live from poland is chef mark murphy, who is volunteering with world central kitchen. thank you so much for talking with us. >> hi, how are you? >> i wanted to ask you just how difficult it's been seeing so many people in need of your help, refugees who have lost absolutely everything and rely on your meals for both nourishment and comfort. >> well, it's -- it's good to be part of the team. jose andreas set up world central kitchen and gives us the opportunity to be able to come

here and help. i live in new york city and it's hard. you know, you can donate. you can do things but i a have a skill that i could use. i called up jose and said hey, do you need my help? and i came over here and right now i am in the kitchen couple miles away from the border of poland. we are preparing thousands and thousands of meals. we are sending it to different refugee centers. sending it to the border. um, and the train stations where there is a lot of people coming and going. so we're -- you know, we are doing our little part. eating food is a human -- i think, you know, people should be able to eat food. you know, it is a human right and crossing the border after a cold, long trip coming across, we are giving the kids a little cup of hot chocolate or little chicken soup or something to keep 'em warm. we try to make a little difference where we can. >> it is incredible. and you know, as -- as you have been speaking with us, we have been looking at some of those images that you sent to us showing those huge pots of food being prepared. the logistics of providing meals on this scale must be

extraordinary. how many meals would you make each day? and what planning is required to -- to get this job done? >> well, we have our chef carla here and she has some pretty good grasp on what we are doing and there is a purchasing department. they are buying food. we are getting food donations. we're -- we're just, you know, we come in every day. we look at the orders. we're getting feedback from all the different places where we are sending food. they say how busy it is in certain refugee centers and we have these big cauldrons. we can make about 1,500 meals at a time. we have six of them going. and we have these large ovens. we have them way back. we have a lot of volunteers that are here that are making sandwiches because some people are just grabbing sandwiches and getting on buses. so it's -- it's a big operation and, um, we're just -- we just keep at it every day. >> it is. it's massive. and you touched on this, mark, but i want to go a little deeper into why you felt that you needed to help in this way -- in

this way. i mean, not just to donate but to actually volunteer, to go to poland and help provide these meals for all these refugees who have fled with pretty much little more than their lives. >> well, i just -- i couldn't sit around anymore. i was in -- i was in florida actually with jose andreas for the food and wine festival and he got all the chefs together and we talked a little bit about the organization. and then this war broke out and i was on the plane going back to new york and i thought i can cancel things for the next two months. i looked at my calendar. i cancelled a lot of different things i was going to be doing and i figured i am going to go and help. and it's -- it's one thing -- i just couldn't do it. i just couldn't sit there and not do anything. so i decided to just get on the plane. it was pretty -- pretty spontaneous. >> and, mark, what has stood out to you as you cook for all these people who have fled war in their homeland? some of them may not return. >> yeah, it's very sad. we actually have a lot of --

it's every story. i mean, i -- i had a story from -- of somebody who connected me on linkedin who said he was a chef in another part of the world and his wife and daughter were trying to come out. and could i try to help them if they got across the border where i was close by? luckily, they got out. they got to a -- a -- a hotel and they got a plane and went and met the husband. but, you know, you hear little stories like this. you hear stories -- we have people that are working here we have actually hired refugees that are here in poland just a couple miles over the border. they have left their families behind. we have one woman that works in distribution and she is doing an amazing job but i can't imagine the pain going through that coming to work every day, feeding -- feeding your -- your family basically from across the border. and your relatives and, you know, it's -- it's -- you know, this story is going on right now is completely mind boggling. but it feels good to me at least being able to be here and being able to help. >> absolutely. and you mentioned that you are going to be there, what, for two months? is there a list of other chefs

back in the united states or elsewhere across the globe who will take your spot? i mean, how long can you keep this going on for do you think? >> well, i -- i think and i'm -- i'm not part of the operation here. i mean, there are a lot of volunteers. there are a lot of chefs that are coming through here, depending how long they can stay. we are also hiring locals to be able to come and do things here. so it's -- it's -- we're just -- it's still basically in -- in the -- we're still in the setting-up stages but we are -- they are getting more organized and yeah, there will be more chefs coming through. there is a volunteer system on the world central kitchen website. people are signing up and coming over and working. if they are not chefs, they can help out making sandwiches, peeling carrots or doing things like that as well. >> chef mark murphy, we all here at cnn salute you and what you and all of the other chefs are doing. it is extraordinary. thank you so much for talking with us. >> thank you. and still to come.

shanghai extends its lockdown as it waits for results from the latest round of mass-covid testing. how the city is faring against its worst outbreak yet. that's when we return. i had been giving him kibble. it neverer looked or felt like real food. but with t the farmer's dog you can see the pieces of turkey. it smells like actuaual food. i saw a difference almomost overnight. healthy poops, healthy dog, rightht? as he's aged, he's still quite energetic and youthful. i really attribute that to diet. you know, he's my buddy. my job is to keep my buddy safe and happy. ♪ get started at longlivedogs.com

officials in shanghai say the city will stay under lock down as new covid infections continue to surge. the chinese city is in the middle of a worst out break since the pandemic began. authorities finished a second round of city wide testing on tuesday. with the help of more than 10,000 healthcare workers brought in to help manage the out break. cnn joining me now live from

tokyo. with the latest. good to see you. how have people in shanghai been dealing with the lock down and now news of course that it will be extended due to surging cases? >> even before that announcement, emotions were running high, people were angry, they were fed up. and now there's no end in sight for the lock down that was originally only supposed to last for a few days. covid cases continue to reach record highs, 10,000 a day. authorities are saying this will be in place until further notice. now many already endured weeks of the lock downs because of targeted cases that had appeared in the neighborhood and there have been numerous complaints of people struggling to get daily necessities. waking up at 5:00 a.m. to put online orders to see everything they need it already sold out. they have been numerous heartbreaking stories of people who have been unable to get critical medical care. the medical system right now in shanghai is being stretched to

its limit. that's because even though the majority of covid cases in china are being recorded as asymptomatic or mild. the rule is every single covid case needs to go to a hospital or to a quarantine facility. and the conditions at the facilities have been many complaints about them. there's a video on social media that we're going to pull up here that shows a crowd of people that are literally battling to get to blankets and other necessities with no medical staff in sight. that was at makeshift hospital in shanghai and it underscored how challenging the current situation is in for people locked in home or enduring the conditions in the quarantine facilities. there have been video circulating online of children and even infants who are isolating alone in hospitals. separate from their families after testing positive for covid-19. we don't know how many families have been affected by that

policy, but we have learned according to sources that the children of u.s. citizens have been separated from their families because of this. despite the huge economic and social costs, authorities in china are continuing to double down on the zero covid policy. it's clear now that they believe the alternative to the lock down would be even worse. the exposure of 1.4 billion people to the virus. especially in a population where vaccinations are lagging among the elderly and the healthcare system across the country being completely overwhelmed. more and more residents are questioning whether the approach to covid is perhaps worse than the virus itself. >> i'm sure it's getting to that point. live from tokyo, many thanks. u.s. judge ketanji brown jackson is expected to become the first black woman to be confirmed a supreme court justice after the senate voted to advance her nomination to a
