conflict lasting months, possibly years. nato expects russia to launch a major offensive in southern and eastern ukraine in the coming weeks. but already in the kharkiv region, right next to russia's border, more than 50 russian strikes in the past 24 hours alone. about two strikes every hour, killing at least six people according to ukrainian officials. and to the south in mykolaiv, local officials say russian troops shelled a children's hospital on monday. security footage appears to show the moment the strike hit. an ambulance parked just outside. a team from doctors without borders was on-site at a nearby hospital, confirmed strikes there and at the children's hospital as well. meantime, america's top-ranking military official is now warning that russia's war in ukraine could be the first of similar conflicts to come. >> we are entering a world that is becoming more unstable, and the potential for significant international conflict between great powers is increasing, not

decreasing. >> ukraine's president is demanding the united nations do more to end russia's invasion, questioning the security council's very mandate. volodymyr zelenskyy showed the u.n. a graphic video documenting the death and destruction in cities across his country. he described the atrocities against civilians he saw during a visit to bucha, calling russia's actions no different than those of a terrorist group. >> translator: there is not a single crime that they would not commit there. the russian military purposefully killed anyone who served our country. they shot and killed women outside their houses when they just tried to call someone who is alive. they killed entire families, adults and children, and they tried to burn the bodies. >> president zelenskyy says boardian ca is another ukrainian city where russia's brutality against civilians is only now coming to light after putin's

troops have retreated. a firsthand look at the carnage and widespread destruction. a warning, some of the images and details in his report are graphic and disturbing. >> reporter: in the war that russia has unleashed against ukraine, few places have suffered more than borodianka. occupied by vladimir putin's troops since late february, recently taken by back ukraine's army. it was held by the russians for a very long time, and to give you an idea about the scale of destruction, you have houses like these that were completely destroyed. but if you look over here, you can see even large residential buildings have been flattened. this entire building was flattened. it was connected with this one before, but now there's absolutely nothing left of it. the russians made sure to show they owned this town, painting the letter "v" on occupied buildings, even defacing borodianka's city administration. "v" is the letter the russians use to help identify their

forces that invaded this part of ukraine. oksana and her husband just returned here and found russian soldiers had been staying in their house. she says they ransacked the place. "alcohol is everywhere," empty bottles in the hallway. they put out cigarettes on the table. they also showed us the corpse of a man they found in their backyard, his hands and feet ties, a shell casing still nearby. russia claims its forces don't target civilians, calling reports of atrocities fake and provocations. but these body collectors are the ones who have to remove the carnage russia's military leaves in its wake. in a span of less than an hour, they found a person gunned down while riding a bicycle, a body burned beyond recognition, and a man still stuck in his car,

gunned down with bullet holes in his head and chest. he was believed to be transporting medical supplies, now strewn near this road. the most awful thing is those are not soldiers laying there, just people, innocent people, the man says. for no reason, i ask. yes, for no reason. killed and tortured for no reason, he says. the road from kyiv to borodianka is lined with villages heavily damaged after russia's occupation. destroyed tanks and armored vehicles left behind but also indications of just how much firepower they unleashed on this area. the russians say this is a special operation, not a war, and that they don't harm civilians. but look how much ammunition they left behind simply in this one single firing position here. this is ammunition for heavy weapons with devastating effects on civilian areas.

that devastation cuts through the towns and villages north of kyiv where the number of dead continues to rise. now that vladimir putin's armies have withdrawn, ukraine's leaders still believe many more bodies could be buried beneath the rubble. fred pleitgen, cnn, borodianka, ukraine. >> the director of the international security program at the lowy institute is with us. beyond the atrocities on the ground in ukraine, there are also reports which have been raised by the uambassador to th u.n. what more do we know about these camps, and does this add to the evidence that these atrocities we're now seeing in parts of ukraine are all part of a premeditated plan? >> look, i think it's clear that there are atrocities and war crimes happening on an extremely

large scale. i think the thing i'm most concerned about now, quite apart from the simple human factors, which were described in your previous report, is that the events of the last few days, what we're learning about the russian campaign from the evidence of bucha and other places is that it makes it much more difficult to imagine a peaceful compromised settlement between russia and ukraine. so the evidence that's now been collected means that the areas for compromise have become smaller, and then i think there's other factors that are on top of that. so we've seen indicators over last couple of days that the united states is preparing to impose even tougher sanctions. so is europe. chancellor scholz has made noises to that effect. we've also seen that for the first time, the czech republic transferring tanks to ukraine.

germany has announced that it's transferring heavy armored vehicles to ukraine. all indications that pressure is ratcheting up, and all of it designed to help ukraine certainly on the battlefield, but reducing the chances, i think, of any kind of compromise settlement. and so, therefore, i think we have to really prepare ourselves for a longer conflict. >> so i want you to listen to the u.s. secretary of state. what he says, it's short, sharp, and direct. here he is. >> it's a deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities. >> so now we know. we also know the conflict, as you say, is likely to go on for months. u.s. officials believe possibly years. more ukrainian towns will likely come under russian control. more civilians will be killed. more mothers will be raped in front of their children.

more children will be used as human shields. and, what, the best we can do right now is, what, increase sanctions on russia and offer a few heavy weapons? if there's a time to grow a backbone for the west, isn't it now? >> i think what western leaders have to do is think past this war. as difficult as that is and, as i said, the atrocities that you've recounted just there and in your previous report make it all the more difficult to do this. but, yes, we do need to think past this war and into what might happen next and how it might get worse. as awful as this conflict now is in the ukraine, it is not as bad as a broader war between the united states and russia, which could lead to the use of nuclear weapons, which would be utterly catastrophic for both countries and potentially for the world. so i think we always, you know, far-sighted leaders need to look past the present circumstances and think about what happens

next. >> is the counterargument to that, though, vladimir putin had his way with grossny. he had his way when he invaded crimea, and the world did nothing. no one has stood up to a bully. he used banned chemical weapons of mass destruction to try and kill a british citizen on british soil, and the world did nothing. and he continues to get away with it. when does the world stand up and tell him it's enough, it's time to stop? >> of course, it's an exaggeration that nothing has happened. i mean the sanctions regime that's been imposed is the toughest of any that's ever been imposed against a nation in wartime, and it's also the case that just in the first six days of the conflict, western powers transferred something on the

order of 17,000 anti-tank weapons. intelligence support is being provided to ukraine as well. so it's not the case that nothing has happened. in fact, i think it's plausible to argue that western assistance to ukrainian forces has had a decisive impact. it has been the difference between russia overrunning the ukrainian forces and the kind of stalemate that looks like we're going to get now. so at the very least, it's made a major difference and potentially a decisive one. but as i say -- >> very quickly -- and that's a good point. but very quickly, china is possibly the big player here. is there one leader? is there one country that could actually make vladimir putin stop and think he's got a losing bet here, it's time to rethink? is that china and xi jinping? >> well, potentially, but the chinese, of course, are going to operate in their interest. and it's not in their interest to have a diplomatic

intervention here against russia. i think the chinese, for all of the fact that they're trying to stand slightly above this conflict, do see russia as a long-term partner and potentially even see some advantage in the fact that a weakened russia could become a long-term partner for china because russia does still have important technology and resources to offer a growing china. so as much as we may want china to make a decisive intervention here, i don't think it's going to happen. >> sam, i hit you with some tough questions, and i thank you for your answers. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. images of atrocities committed in ukraine are escalating efforts to punish russia. the biden administration says the u.s. will impose new sanctions in the coming day. the sweeping package expected to ban new investment in russia and target its financial institutions. the u.s. is also targeting

kremlin officials as well as their families. meantime, the european commission is pushing for another round of sanctions, the fifth, on moscow, this time proposing everything from a ban on russian coal and other raw materials to prohibiting transactions with major russian banks. in a moment, cnn's nic robertson will have a closer look at europe's financial pressure campaign. but first we hear from kaitlan collins reporting in from the white house. >> reporter: on wednesday, the white house will announce a new sanctions package on russia after those horrifying images emerged from bucha and other places in ukraine of these atrocities committed by russia. and we are told that this new package will be done in conjunction with the european union and g7 allies with the united states. but for the united states' part, this is going to include a ban on all new investments in russia, a tightening of the sanctions that are already in place on these russian financial institutions and state-owned enterprises, and also more sanctions on russian government officials and their family members. and that latter part has raised some concerns about whether or

not -- some questions about whether or not that would also include two of putin's daughters, who the european union has discussed sanctioning, and of course people have asked the white house whether or not that is something they are also considering doing. but the white house has not yet disclosed that. we should note that as the white house is continuing to tighten the screws, apply more sanctions and more pressure on russia, putin has continued with this brutal assault. and according to the chairman of the joint chief of staff who was testifying on capitol hill on tuesday, he warned this invasion, this protracted battle, could go on for potentially years. that come as ever the national security adviser jake sullivan said he believed this next phase where russia is repositioning its forces around ukraine after not achieving their initial objectives, could take months. and now chairman milley saying this is something that could last for years as he talked about the increased instability across the globe, of course all caused by russia's invasion. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house.

>> reporter: with the atrocities in bucha spurring the european union to trigger a fifth round of sanctions against russia, banning the import of russian coal, that's where $4.3 billion a year to russia. but to give an idea of that compared to all the energy imports from russia -- coal, oil, and gas -- since the beginning of the war, about 40 days ago, that cost has already exceeded $21 billion. so coal a relatively small fraction of europe's energy imports from russia. ursula von der leyen, the european commission president, saying this new round of sanctions would bite harder into the russian economy. >> the full packages of sanctions have hit hard and limited the kremlin's political and economic options. we're seeing tangible results. but clearly in view of events, we need to increase our pressure further. so today we are proposing to take our sanctions a step

further. we will make them broader and sharper so that they cut even deeper into the russian economy. >> reporter: she also said sanctions would target four key russian banks, including the vtb bank, russia's second largest. she also said that they would target $10.9 billion worth of exports to russia, including high-tech items like quantum computers and rare semiconductors. she also said that they would target russia's shipping, that russian vessels and russian-operated vessels wouldn't be able to use european union ports. this is europe's effort to ramp up the economic pain on russia. nic robertson, cnn, brussels. when we come back, ukrainians here in the west are opening their homes and businesses to those who are fleeing putin's war of choice.

up next, we'll hear from one local soccer club that's doing just that. and later, what would it take to put russian president vladimir putin on trial for war crimes? >> we have got to set the pace for saying that whenever putin leaves the country, whenever he is accessible, he could be arrested. the only thing that he understands is strength.

exhausted, finally sleeps. yana has fled donetsk with her mother and big sister, her aunt and cousins. it is no longer safe for her there. but here in lviv, residents like ukrainians across the country are opening their homes and businesses to fellow citizens. >> vulnerable families fleeing their homes, seeking refuge wherever they can find it, including for this 3-year-old girl and this 4-year-old girl at this soccer club in lviv. the ga let'sian lions are a minor league soccer club. their fierce fighting spirit so far more successful off the field than on. team executives say their offices emblazoned with lion logos has offered a resting place for hundreds of refugees families such as this one, stopping in on their way to the border and to poland. it must be very difficult to be a mother and protect your children at a time like this, when there are horrible things

happening. >> translator: yes. it is both physically and psychologically difficult. >> reporter: an as stay sha tellt tells us she was a pharmacist's assistant before the war. their husbands remain back east as their journeys likely continue soon out of the country. now they say they are open to any job and any safe way of life for their family. >> translator: i was also a bookkeeper, worked at a company. i'm also ready to take any job. we left because of our children. we left our town because we were afraid of their psychological state. we have a war there, and we were very scared. >> reporter: their oldest children, an 11-year-old and a 9-year-old, seem sad and confused. how was the journey? >> translator: it was very long, but i'm very happy now that we are in a safe place. >> what do you miss the most? >> translator: i miss my

grandmother, and i would like to be back in my town because here everything looks very unfamiliar to me, unknown. >> it must be tough being a kid and having to go through all this. >> translator: a bit. >> reporter: they are, after all, only 11 and 9. but they find themselves having to comfort their much younger siblings. >> yegor, what do you tell your little sister in the other room when she gets worried? >> translator: i tell her everything is going to be fine and that it will end soon. >> reporter: relatively, these children are lucky. thousands of ukrainians, including the nation's youngest, have been killed in putin's brutal war. innocent civilians murdered in their hometowns, in their homes. many more in danger of being next. and that is what motivates soccer club owner oleg. tr >> translator: i want to change my profession. i bought a rifle. i want to become a sniper.

i believe after what we have seen, what happened in bucha, the number has increased tenfold of people like me who want to join. >> reporter: he wants to join the ukrainian military, he says, and go to the front lines. >> translator: i definitely want to go where i can avenge our children. >> reporter: upstairs, he began to show me the sniper rifle and ammunition he purchased, and as if we needed any more evidence of the threat the people of ukraine find themselves under constantly, the air raid siren went off while we were speaking. oleg did not stop, and instead continued loading the bullets, ready to go to war for the children under the ukrainian flag and under the watchful eye of the ga latian lions. still to come here on cnn -- >> i don't know what's happened to my nephew because nobody gets in touch with him.

it's just gone half past the hour. welcome back. the u.n. human rights commissioner says the horrific images from bucha, ukraine, show all the signs that civilians were directly targeted and killed. meantime, ukrainian soldiers were out on the streets tuesday collecting discarded weapons and unexploded ordnance. many of the bodies have already been collected now that russian forces have withdrawn from those areas. ukraine's president describes what he saw and heard in bucha earlier this week. >> translator: they killed entire families, adults and

children, and they tried to burn the bodies. civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road just for their pleasure. they cut off limbs, slashed their throats. women were raped and killed in front of their children. their tongues were pulled out only because the aggressor did not hear what they wanted to hear from them. >> president zelenskyy went on to say he wants those responsible for these atrocities to be brought before an international tribunal like nazis after world war ii. cnn's david mckenzie has more now on the massacre in bucha. again, a warning, his report contains some graphic content. >> reporter: a war with already so much horror, exposing new depths of brutality and possible war crimes. "my husband had been shot in the head, mutilated and tortured," says tatiana.

he was buried a meter deep so the dogs wouldn't eat him. for weeks, president volodymyr zelenskyy has been calling for justice. those calls are growing louder. >> you may remember i got criticized for calling putin a war criminal. we have to gather all the detail so this can actually have a war crime trial. >> reporter: brutal actions of russian forces in ukraine are being investigated by international prosecutors. but putin's faced these accusations before. in chechnya, russian forces leveled grozny. in syria, they bombed hospitals and schools with cluster munitions, say multiple reports, and no one in russia was punished. russia, like the u.s., isn't party to the treaty governing the international criminal court at the hague, making it harder to prosecute. and investigations at the icc can take years. >> we've got to send a message to all those in putin's inner

circle that they cannot act with impunity. >> reporter: speaking to cnn, former uk prime minister gordon brown said that at the request of ukrainian officials, he's lobbying for a special tribunal modeled on the nuremberg trials of nazi criminals and the tribunal investigating atrocities in the former yugoslavia, like the murder of thousands of men and boys in serb neetsia. how can you realistically can you get officials including vladimir putin into a courtroom? >> they said it was impossible in 1942 when the allies said they were going to try hitler and his accomplices for crimes -- what we called crimes against peace. but that happened in nuremberg. >> reporter: a tribunal creates a legal loophole to prosecute putin and senior officials for the act of invading ukraine itself. a crime of aggression. with the right resources, brown says an indictment could come in months.

russia has repeatedly denied responsibility for any crimes. and u.s. officials believe that vladimir putin wields near absolute power inside russia. so an indictment could be an empty threat. >> we have got to set the pace for saying that whenever putin leaves the country, whenever he is accessible, he could be arrested. the only thing that he understands is atrocities in bucha and in mariupol, for the crimes not yet revealed. david mckenzie, cnn, london. i'll have a lot more live from ukraine at the top of the hour. but for now, let's head back to cnn world headquarters in atlanta, my colleague and friend, rosemary church. rosie. >> thank you so much, john. we will see you again at the top of the hour. appreciate it. well, here in the united states, family members of russian soldiers fighting in the

invasion find themselves in a difficult situation. many are against the war and are having a hard time finding information on their loved ones. cnn's alex marquardt spoke with family members hoping to make contact. >> reporter: suburban virginia is a long way from the fighting in ukraine, where evidence of war crimes by russian forces is mounting. there's a particular kind of pain being felt these days here in the united states by people like marat, russian americans who have relatives who are part of russia's invading army. >> he didn't believe this at first. i was shocked. i started calling my relatives to find out if this is true, what's going on. >> reporter: he had found a distant cousin's photos and i.d. in a chat about russian soldiers in ukraine. marat's family confirmed that the cousin, who we are not naming, had been sent to ukraine and is now back in russia.

but they told him little more. what do you know about his condition? >> he is in hospital. >> you say that some of your family members gave you signs not to contact them. what did they tell you? >> they told me that we'll deal with this ourselves. please don't get involved. we'll deal with this within the circle of immediate relatives. >> reporter: after arriving in the u.s. in 2008, marat served for eight years in the u.s. army and became a citizen. he says he and his parents in russia are fiercely anti-war. other relatives, however, are a different story. what does it feel like as a russian american to be watching this conflict go on? >> i think we're all going through this, on one hand we have the relatives who cared for us, you know. and on the other hand, the same relatives, they support the invasion. it's something that is very hard to deal with. where do you draw the line?

so, for example, if your mother supports the invasion, what do you do? i think to answer this question, with your immediate relatives, you just have to work with them. >> hello, is this marat? >> yes, it is. >> i first spoke with marat when i was in ukraine. he had called the ukrainian hotline that offered to help russian families track down russian soldiers. anna, from brooklyn, new york, whose identity we're protecting, had also called looking for her cousin. >> those soldiers that were sent to fight, it wasn't their decision. it wasn't something that they wanted to do. >> reporter: her cousin is so young, around 20 years old, that anna calls him her nephew. he got married late last year. the family thinks he had been deployed toward ukraine's capital, kyiv. >> now we don't have any contact with him, and we don't know what's happened, if he's still alive, if he's well. maybe he's -- you know, maybe he's been captured. we don't know. >> reporter: like marat, anna is

treated with suspicion, kept at arm's length by her family in russia because she's against the war. >> i believe that there is a war in ukraine, and they just treat it as a military operation basically. >> they believe that the russian army is fighting against nazis like putin says? >> yes, exactly. that's what they've been told, and they certainly believe it. and any other information that, you know, i'm trying to give them, they think it's fake information. you know, they just think that i'm brainwashed. >> what has this done to you as a person? >> i'm just heartbroken. i feel like i'm very hopeless, yeah, because there is nothing i can do or say, you know, to change their minds. i'm afraid it's getting already too late because so many people died. >> reporter: many of those people in the devastated ukrainian city of mariupol, where anna and her family actually have ukrainian cousins, who she has no news from.

>> i don't know what's happened to my nephew because nobody gets in touch with them. all those relatives in mariupol, and my friends are all -- you know, they're all refugees now. >> reporter: anna told me she doesn't discuss the war with her mother because if she brings it up, either her mother shuts her down, or they argue. and that's because millions of russians like anna's mother are getting a fire hydrant of lies about the war in ukraine from russian state media. and if it's not propaganda, it's the threat of punishment. russians now potentially facing years in prison if they spread what the state calls fake information. a real culture of fear taking root in russia now. alex marquardt, cnn, new york. just ahead, shanghai announces another round of citywide testing amid anger and frustration among residents over the lockdown. after the break, i'll speak with a journalist in the city about what conditions there are really like.

welcome back, everyone. well, authorities in shanghai say the lockdown in the city will continue until further notice amid yet another round of citywide covid testing. more than 17,000 new cases were reported in the city on tuesday, and officials are building makeshift hospitals to hold thousands of newly infected covid patients. authorities are also amending the policy for separating covid-positive children from their families. parents who test negative can now apply for special permission to be with children who have tested positive. for more from shanghai, i'm joined now by don wineland, the economist china business and finance editor. thank you so much for talking with us.

>> my pleasure. >> so i just want to share with our viewers a tweet that you posted on april 4th, where you say "day four of who knows how many days of lockdown in shanghai. my hotel has run out of water. they advised me to buy online, but these delivery services have stopped, and i'm in a hotel in a central area of the city. i can only imagine how terrible things have become in other areas." so, don, two days after you tweeted that, what is the situation for you and others in your hotel, and how is it even possible that they've run out of water? >> so the hotel has been able to provide small amounts of water at this point. so you don't drink the tap water usually in china. if things get desperate, you know, you can turn on the tap and boil the water. but, yeah, it's a logistical breakdown of this city.

and i think as i said in the tweet, lots of people are facing similar problems. >> and shanghai authorities say that this lockdown will continue until further notice, and we understand that more testing is expected because of these new cases. so what's going on, and how long might this lockdown last with what appears to be very limited supplies being made available to citizens? i mean food, water, and medicine. >> yeah. i'd really like to know as well how long this will continue. i don't think really anybody right now knows. most likely they will continue testing people. my wife and i took an at-home test earlier today and handed it over to the hotel. but, yeah, i mean it's really anyone's guess. and as you noted, cases here continue to increase. so until we -- you know, we hit a peak and cases begin to go

down, there's very little hope of them opening up. >> yeah. and of course 17,000 new covid cases were reported in shanghai wednesday, and now makeshift hospitals are being erected to take in new patients. what needs to be done, do you think, to contain this if these extended lockdowns aren't working, and why has there been so little planning for food and water needs, do you think? >> yeah, on the second question in terms of planning, it's really something that everyone in the city is asking right now. i think the lockdown was implemented very hastily and, you know, it's been a disappointment with how much access people have to food and water. in terms of what they actually need to do to solve this, i mean, china has been implementing these snap lockdowns in cities for quite a while now. omicron is much more difficult to handle. i think they need to -- you know, going down their route of

welcome back, everyone. legendary golfer tiger woods is returning to the masters tournament 14 months after a car crash that many thought would end his career.

brian todd explains how woods got to this point and the challenges he'll face on his return to augusta. >> reporter: tiger woods said right after his horrific accident 14 months ago there was a chance one of his legs might have to be amputated. ed on tuesday he said the words many thought would never come. >> as of right now, i feel like i am going to play. just rumors of a comeback drew a large crowd of fans now that he is playing competitively. >> the tv ratings should just go through the roof. they'll be tigeresque, as they always are. this time it's like we stepped into a movie set. this story is just -- it transcends golf. it transcends sports. >> reporter: police said tiger woods was driving 85 miles per hour in a 45 miles an hour zone

when his car crashed on a winding road near l.a. on february 23rd of last year. law enforcement officers said there would have been a much different outcome had he not had certain safety features in his vehicle. >> thankfully, the interior was more or less intact, which kind of gave him the cushion to survive what otherwise would have been a fatal crash. >> his leg was basically crushed under the weight of an suv. it looked life-threatening initially. certainly career threatening. and he was in a hospital bed for three months. >> reporter: after multiple surgeries and a rod placed and screws placed in his leg, and excruciating rehab, tiger woods now says it's not his swing that's the issue. >> i can hit it just fine. and i don't have any qualms about what i can do physically from a golf standpoint. it's now walking is the hard part. >> reporter: and analysts say the course at augusta is one of the hardest to walk on the tour. >> you don't see the hills on tv, but i watched him walk up that first fairway in his

practice round on monday as the throngs, the masses were following him like it was a sunday afternoon. i watched him walk up that hill, and he looked older. his shoulders were hunched, and he was going much slower. those hills are going to be brutal on him. >> reporter: still, woods says he wouldn't be playing if he didn't think he could win, which would be his sixth masters title and his 16th major tournament win. can he pull it off? >> i don't expect him to win. but again, i'm done doubting tiger woods. i've done it too many times, and i've been forced to eat my words way too many times. >> reporter: one of tiger woods's biggest motivations to play and one of the great joys of his life is playing with his 13-year-old son charlie, who he has been playing practice rounds with recently. dan rappaport of golf digest says charlie woods has a perfect swing and of course a great coach, but he says it's too early to speculate if charlie is headed for the pro tour and said tiger woods will not push his son to play professionally. brian todd, cnn, washington.
