12:00 am
viewers in the united states and around the world. live in lviv, ukraine we begin day 4 is of the russian invasion of the ukraine. with the warning from ukrainian officials. the atrocitying committed could be the tip of the ice burg. ukrainian forces take control of more cities and towning from the russians. there are fears of much worse to come. the mounting evidence of war crimes in ukraine will be the focus of an address by the ukrainian president to the
12:01 am
security counsel later today. and there are new satellite images showing life under russian occupation. a warning the images for some will be disturbing to watch. on the left, images taken friday. showing bodies in the street. on the right, satellite images taken two weeks ago. when russian forces occupied the area. the same bodies appear to be lying in the exact same place. more evidence that under cuts russia's claim the images and video are fake. cnn team on the ground saw firsthand several bodies. hands tied behind their backs, shot, killed, left in basement. zelenskyy had a message for russian mothers. here it is. >> russian mothers, even if you raise looters, how do they become butchers? you couldn't be unaware of what's inside your children. you couldn't over lock they are deprived of everything human. no soul, no heart, they killed
12:02 am
deliberately. and with pleasure. >> president zelenskyy visited on monday. he says there is evidence that more than 300 people were killed while russian troops occupied the town. and the white house warning it will not be the last. >> we should be under no illusion that russia will adjust tactics. which have included and will likely continue to include, wanton and brazen attacks on civilian targets. >> the images and stories from sparked global out rage. the atrocities will no go unpinnished. officials from the u.s. and uk also calling for russia to be suspended from the un human rights counsel. news correspondent reports again a warning, his report contains disturbing graphic images. they reveal the brutality and sheer cruelty of what happened
12:03 am
under russian occupation. >> the gate way there are the mangled remains of russian vehicles and the blown bridge which marks the extent of the advance. and nearby the burnt bodies of soldiers killed here by a ukrainian counter offensive. gruesome to a battlefield, in which dated russian machinery was pitted against the latest western supply antitank weapons. and this was the result. a rewriting of the orthodox. about russia's perceived military strength. some of the russians who sought to occupy this commuter town near kyiv will probably never leave. thanks to one mans war. the remains may never be repatrioted. or identified. this is the most potent symbol of the russian defeat here. a street choked with the charred remains of their tanks. and armored vehicles. now they have gone, we're
12:04 am
getting a fuller picture of the terrible toll inflicted on the the civilian population. war in all its grotesque brutality. turned the streets into a hell from which there is no triumph. >> massacres of ukrainian men have been uncovered by the army here. the war crimes committed here mark a bleak new low in the conflict. described by ukraine as the most outrageous atrocity of the 21st century. there isn't just one site where massacres occurred. the true picture is only just emerging. this man tells me about the dismemberment of a young woman at the hands of two soldiers. he says they just slaughtered her like a lamb. and took revenge with other local men. killing them both. for the civilians like max, caught between the two sides, there was little to do but pray
12:05 am
for deliverance. >> describe what it was like. how it felt. >> terrible. it was completely terrible. near my car was exploded three mines. >> some of the dead were buried by neighbors close to the shattered remains of homes. this is where he lies hit by a shell. a grave adorned with food and drink. relatives would have traditionally shared at her funeral. her son has been able to reach the town to grieve for his mother. many more without headstones or identification. here it's believed 280 people were buried in mass graves. one for ukrainians, one for russians. >> this is horrible. we survived this, there were shelling us. i cannot find words to describe what we lived through.
12:06 am
>> this family appeared to have escaped unscathed after days in a bunker. his father was detained by the russians and never seen again. as he swings he says, if the bad men come back, i'll stomp on them. there seems little chance of the russians fighting their way back into the towns. but the legacy of their brief reign of terror will never been forgotten. >> we are now getting another gruesome scene. from a small community on the out skirts of the ukrainian capitol. it is disturbing. it shows the body of the town mayor, husband, son and the ukrainian prime minister told us the three were all murdered by russian forces there signs of torture on some of them. all three according to deputy
12:07 am
prime minister shot in the head. joining me now from kyiv, the political editor for the news out let the kyiv infedependent. good to see you. town after town once occupied russian forces all reporting atrocities. which amount to war crimes possibly worse. this is far from over. the russians will move in and occupy new areas in the east. is there any way to prevent them from repeating what we have seen so far in place these places? >> unfortunately we understand that this is not a mistake. this is not one town that we're seeing. we're seeing everywhere, everywhere where russians were, where russians left, we see bodies, we see people with their hands tied behind their back. shot. we know that the prosecutor general said that we're waiting to uncover atrocities.
12:08 am
and said these were even topple those of bucha. >> you know, after this has been revealed and other cities as well, there has been genuine out rage around the world. i want you to listen to the president of the european parliament. here she is. >> we need to step up our strategy of making this illegal invasion the costliest mistake that the kremlin has ever made. and the hit to russia's economy must be proportionate to the unprecedented atrocities that we are seeing. >> main countries looking to impose tougher sanctions. sanctions do not discipline troops. they don't stop a bullet to the head. after the fact ineffective. >> well, actually, we understand that those tanks, those guns are
12:09 am
built on the money received from the european union. germany, netherlands, italy, are paying still paying for russian gas. according to bloomberg, $321 billion russia is said to receive from the european union for its energy. so until the european union pays for russian gas for russian coal and oil, we understand that russia and putin will have the money and the funds to sponsor its horrific war against ukraine. >> it's time for the europeans to cut off the supply of energy from russia. do it tough because there's no other choice. that's the least that can be done, right? >> yes, unfortunately that's what should be done. we understand that this will cause some problems for germany for the netherlands and italy. this is the right thing to do. right now the choice is either
12:10 am
have some economic misfortune or sponsor genocide. >> it's hard enough for someone half way around the world to look at the images. mass graves and bodies with bullets to the head. how difficult it is if you and ukrainians. can you describe what the reaction has been like? >> i think it's pure shock. this hits close to home. the scenes we're seeing now is 15, 20 kilometers from downtown kyiv. everybody has a friend, a family member, everybody visited those towns. and this is pure shock. this is horrendous. i had to witness this, i had to talk to people who have been there. most of them are crying. they don't have words to
12:11 am
describe what they saw and this will be a stain on a nation -- this took a soul a part of the soul of every ukrainian. i think this is impossible to find words to describe the horrors that we're witnessing right now. >> yeah. you are right. it seems impossible to capture how horrific this has been. and will be. unfortunately. thank you, we appreciate you being with us. thank you, sir. >> thank you. u.s. national security adviser warned russia is revising its war aims and shifting focus to the east. he says the kremlin new goal is surround and overwhelm eastern ukraine. but russian troops are still hammering southern cities. the mayor says ten civilians have been killed there since sunday. 46 others have been hurt. not far from, cnn team
12:12 am
dangerously close to incoming artillery fire. they stopped to talk to soldiers out in the open with little cover. this was a very close call. here's ben. >> this is an area where there's been a fair amount of out going as well as incoming artillery down the road is a town that has been fought over for several days. by russian and ukrainian forces. >> reporter: in the vast open spaces, the russians seem far away. they're not. down here, john. keep on rolling. you see it over there? >> we hug the earth. two more artillery rounds.
12:13 am
camera man keeps rolling. so we have had two incoming rounds responding to artillery firing in the russian direction. the shells came pretty close to us. >> no one has been injured. the officer tells translator we need to go. now. so we run. with full body armor to the cars.
12:14 am
one car can't move. peppered with shrapnel. we're losing petrol. >> no time to lose. >> throw it in the back. >> reporter: the driver razor focussed on getting us to safety. his car also hit. >> go, go, go! all right we're trying to get out of this area as quickly as

12:22 am

12:24 am

12:25 am
>> it comes. it comes alone. >> she hopes to return. bury her husband of 40 years. and see her beloved city at peace again. >> what's astounding when you watch the report and spend time with her, she never stops smiling. despite everything she's been through. all that she has endured. she truly has that heart of a survivor. i asked her, do you know if you are going to the go to the united states? you are 82. you may never see kharkiv again. she insisted that she will return to her city. but that city has been devastated by russia onslaught. you can only imagine it will be more many generations before it's rebuilt. >> thank you for such a wonderful story. we appreciate it. if you would like to help the people of ukraine who need a shelter and food, medical

welcome back, everyone. shanghai will stay under lock down as new covid infections continue to surge. the city is in the middle of the
12:44 am
worst out break since the pack 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 from tokyo with the latest. good to see you again. how have people in shanghai been coping with the lock down and now news of course that it will be extended in the middle of the surge in cases. >> great to be with you. no surprise people in shanghai are angry and fed up. this is china's megacity of 25 million residents. it is the financial capitol. the most city in the country. and people there have been enduring this strict home confinement, numerous complaints of people struggling to get daily essentials. medical care and now learning that this city wide lock down only supposed to last a matter of days, is now being extended
12:45 am
indefinitely. until further notice. as covid cases in shanghai continue to reach record highs more than 10,000 a day in city officials there have conducted multiple rounds of mass testing. this is also the medical system in shanghai is being stretched to its limit. even though most of the covid-19 cases being reported in china are reported as asymptomatic or mild. every single covid case even if you have no symptoms, has to go to the hospital or to a centralized quarantine facility. and there have been countless complaints about the conditions at the isolation facilities. this social media video a filmed a at makeshift hospital in shanghai, you can see that there are people who are literally battling each other for basic supplies, for food, for blankets. we spoke to a woman who is there at the scene that you can see in the video. there have been videos circulating online of children even infants quarantining alone
12:46 am
in the hospital. separated from their families. we don't know how many families have been impacted by this, but according to diplomatic sources familiar with the matter we learned u.s. citizens have been impacted by the policy. rose mary. >> is there any sign at all that china might eventually relax the zero covid-19 policy? >> well, even considering these enormous economic and social costs, so far authorities have continued to double down on the rhetoric that finding covid-19 is the number one priority. they are doubling down on the zero covid strategy. treating it as an all out battle against the virus. it's clear that authorities think that the alternative to the strict lock downs would be a nightmare situation. exposing 1.4 billion people to the virus. especially considering the population has lagging vaccination rates for the elderly population.
12:47 am
there's fears that the virus could completely overwhelm the healthcare system. considering the struggles that people are facing in shanghai, this current out break is not only putting china zero covid policy to the test, but it's also testing its people's patience. >> the latest from tokyo. many thanks. u 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 the nomination to a confirmation vote. after the senate judiciary committee deadlocked, eleven votes both for and against jackson's nomination. senate majority leader schumer called for a vote to break the deadlock. and send her nomination to the floor. three senate republicans including senator romney voted in support of jackson. the vote to confirm is expected to be held later this week.
