struggle to escape ukraine's foreign minister is predicting that the scale, the scale of this faceoff in donbas will look like world war ii. a warning that the heaviest battles are yet to come, bleeding with nato to send more weapons asap. and we are learning for the very first time from a top u.s. official that america is actively providing intelligence to ukraine's military for operations against russians in donbas. more to come on that major acknowledgment. the world is also taking further action to isolate russia. the u.n. general assembly voting today to suspend putin's regime from the human rights council. as president volodymyr zelenskyy points out, russia has clearly been violating the rights of humans. >> translator: after bucha, this is already obvious. and the work on dismantling the

debris began. it's much worse there. >> 26 bodies were found under the rubble of two houses in the kyiv suburb of borodyanka today after russian air strikes. again, those are only two houses. according to ukraine's prosecutor general. imagine how many more. more proof of the inhumanity. all hospitals in the donbas territory of luhansk have now been destroyed according to one regional leader. hospitals destroyed. all of them. russians keep targeting them in the east, forcing many injured civilians to go west for care. i met with some of the wounded today, wounded civilians, when i toured a medical facility in the western part of ukraine. i hope you'll stay with us to hear their emotional stories. that's just a fraction of what's happening tonight all across the

country. more on the actions of the united nations today, but let's start with matthew chance, who is live in london with news of german intercepts of communications of russian soldiers, ones that could bolster evidence of possible war crimes. matt? >> yeah, these are potentially very significant because it's something that's been picked up by german intelligence. they've been briefing a parliamentary committee inside germany about what exactly they've picked up. but what it seems to be from reports and from the sources that we've spoken to about the content of these intercepts is that they are radio communications linking russian forces with specific killings that took place in bucha over the past -- where there's been so many atrocities taking place that took hands at the hands of

russian forces. there's no video evidence. the mass graves, the video we've all seen of the twisted corpses that have been phifilmed by soldiers and by passers by and by people in that community. but, you know, video of bodies and pictures of bodies does not equate to evidence of war crimes. and that's why potentially these german intercepts are so important because that linkage between russian forces and actual killings of people can be identified appears to have been from the reports we're seeing made. that may be important in the future, when it comes to any possible prosecutions for war crimes that may or may not take place. the question of whether it will take place or whether russia would comply with anything like that is another discussion altogether. but, yes, potentially significant evidence for any future war crimes prosecution. >> matthew, in spite of the

evidence, putin's spokesmen today continued to claim in an interview with sky news that the photos in bucha, ones journalists saw with their own eyes, were fakes. >> you've lost thousands of troops. how many troops have you lost? >> we have -- we have -- we have significant losses of troops, and it's a huge tragedy for us. >> i have to say, i was surprised to hear him acknowledge the huge loss of russian troops. what do you think is behind that? >> look, he did then appear to acknowledge there have been thousands of troop losses, which is a significant departure from the last official figure that we have. i think it was on march 25th that the russian defense ministry said there were 1,351 russian soldiers that have been lost, which is in itself a

significant number, of course. there wasn't any sort of, you know, new figure given there by dmitry peskov, vladimir putin's spokesperson. but clearly the groundwork is being laid and acknowledgment is being made that there are more losses than they previously stated. just to give you an indication about how many more there could be, today, there were new figures released by the ukrainian side. now, of course the ukrainians have an interest in beefing up those numbers perhaps. but what the ukrainians are saying is that they've counted 18,900 russian troops that have been killed since this conflict began on february 24th. 698 tanks they say have been destroyed and 150 aircraft. so, that gives you an indication. we've seen these horrific images of tank columns that have been destroyed in various locations in the country and of aircraft

being shot down repeatedly with the stinger missiles that have been supplied to the ukrainian forces by the united states and others. so, it does show you that whatever the kremlin admit to, the losses do seem to be very, very significant indeed. we'll see. there are 18,900 dead, how many have been injured? how many have been captured? talking about potentially tens of thousands here. so, no wonder the russians are struggling to sort of fill their ranks with fresh troops to pursue to push forward this offensive, jake. >> all right. matthew chance, thank you so much. really appreciate your insights this evening. i want to bring in a member of the ukrainian parliament right now. thank you so much for joining us again this evening. we appreciate it. what's your take on what we just heard from matthew chance, a source saying that russian troops discussed killing ukrainian civilians in communications that the germans

intercepted? >> good evening, everyone. so, first of all, i want everyone to understand one simple thing. before the invasion started, we sat with our partners. we sat with the united states in particular. that russians will come to kill. we knew that because we had very long experience in dealing with them. it's not the first, not the second attempt of russian federation, russian empire to wipe off ukrainians and even the name of ukraine from the map. so, it's very paranoid ideas of leaders to destroy ukraine. taking to account the information which we already had, it's very important that the german intelligence received this same data, which ukrainian

intelligence had for the last couple of weeks, meaning that the germans, they confirmed that killing of civilians was absolutely in candid, coordinated, and planned. i will tell you two days ago, we got the information from ukrainian intelligence that russians, they had a list of people and they were searching specific people in bucha to kill them, so meaning that it was all very well organized process of killing civilians in bucha. and taking into consideration we're again focused not only just to finish this war but to bring into responsibility of everyone responsible. so, we will not rest until the justice is done. >> we learned today from ukraine's prosecutor general that 26 bodies were found under the rubble of just two houses, just two. 26 bodies, two houses in

borodyanka. can you tell us anymore about what's happening on the ground? >> all the world knows the name of the small city, bucha, which was the center of this massacre. but borodyanka destroyed even more. it is almost fully destroyed. and every day, every hour, our law enforcement agencies, they discover more and more evidence of war crimes. we really had a deep problem with proper recording of all these massive amounts of killings of civilians. for the moment based on the reports, we collected more than 400 bodies in these two cities. and we tried to make proper recording on every case because we want each case to be brought to the international criminal court. >> i want to talk to you about a video that's spreading on social media. it's too graphic for us to show,

so i'll describe it. it shows a group of soldiers who have ukrainian patches on their uniforms surrounding four bodies wearing what looked like russian troop uniforms. the men on the ground in the russian uniforms are bloody, appearing to have had head wounds. one of the men says in russian, quote, he's still alive. and one of the men in the ukrainian uniform shoots at the body three times. the body stops moving. the camera moves to a tank. you hear someone say in ukrainian, a little trophy. and then you hear someone else say, glory to ukraine. now, cnn has geolocated this video, and it does match a location published on twitter by ukraine's ministry of defense. have you seen this video? what do you know about it? >> i have not seen this video, but i have very simple answer on this question. take into account all nightmare

which we've seen in ukraine with mass killings of civilians, with mass rapes and killing of kids and babies. we prefer not to change the focus of global attention to the war crime. from another hand, ukraine was always investigating any misconduct if ever happened on our territory. but today we see that russians are using all possible measures to switch the focus of attention to create different legends, to create different lies, as they usually do, and again, they force us, me and you, and anybody else to speak about other things, but not about the fact of killing ukrainians, kids, babies, women, and men on the ground. so, that's why i would prefer to be extremely focused and to punish the evil which is happening now with ukraine

first. >> thank you so much for your time. really appreciate it this evening. coming up, how the u.s. is helping ukraine prepare for operations in the donbas region. could that fight resemble world war ii, as ukraine predicts? insight from a former u.s. commander who helped run the war in afghanistan. that's next. but heinz knows there's plentyy of magic in all that chaos. ♪ so different anand so new ♪ ♪ was like any other... ♪

we believe the air defense system tfiring into the sky. the explosions sounded rather close. so, you know, as we have done in those moments, we kind of seek shelter in the ground level in a protected area to kind of wait these situations out. air raid sirens were going off as well. there hasn't been a whole lot of information released about the details of this latest round of explosions, an attack here in the odesa region. only a brief statement from military officials saying that it was an infrastructure facility that was hit. but really much beyond that we have not received yet. >> as the fighting heads east, what are the people still living in the donbas region being told to do? >> reporter: you know, many people are being urged that if they want to get out, this is the time to do it. in recent days the fighting has started to escalate. there have been attacks on the very systems used by civilians

to be able to escape the region. in fact, we understand that a rail line was attacked today and that some 500 evacuees are trapped in a railway station. we understand that that has been happening multiple times in eastern ukraine. and of course this is the lifeline to being able to escape from these regions, is getting on a train, because driving on the roads has become incredibly dangerous. so, you know, they're being urged that if they want to get out, this is the time to do it. the days and weeks ahead could be very long for the residents of eastern ukraine. >> so many of the towns that the russians have taken have been just levelled, just destroyed. but there are some cities in the south that have been able to turn the kremlin forces back. tell us about the spirits of the ukrainian people in the towns that have been able to fight back. >> reporter: yeah. so, there's an interesting town

that we've been wanting to reach. it is a few hours north of where we are in odesa. this is in south central uk ukraine. and in the early weeks of war, the russian forces made a very quick push into this country. but we found this little town -- it's a very difficult name to pronounce. i apologize for butchering that a little bit. but this is a city of about 30,000 people. it kind of sits at a cross roads, jake, on this river, and there's a bridge in town. and if russian forces had crossed that bridge, it would have been very easy for them to move into other parts of southern ukraine, into other parts of ukraine as well. and we went there, you know, to kind of talk to this -- the folks in this town. they had a two-day battle. they pushed back the russian forces, inflicted serious casualties on them. the russians ended up retreating from there. and in the little village

outside the town, we found a group of grandmothers sitting on a bench, and they recounted what it was like, as russian soldiers took over their street and their neighborhood. and one of the ladies had some choice words she told us when russian forces pulled into her front word. >> that's 88 vera and her friends laughed as they told us that story and how they insulted the russian soldiers in their front yard. but many people, jake, in that city are bracing for what's coming next. they expect to have to fight that battle all over again.

>> ed lavandera in odesa, thank you so much. the u.s. stating the united states is providing ukraine intelligence critical for the next phase of this invasion. >> we are providing them intelligence to conduct operations in the donbas. >> when you hear from the ukrainian foreign minister, in addition it's clear that the picture painted by that intelligence is anything but comforting. >> the battle for donbas will remind you second world war, where its large operations, maneuvers, involvement of thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, planes, artillery. >> i'm joined tonight by the former commander for u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan, retired general john allen. general allen, good to see you again. how much of an impact could the

u.s. intelligence have for ukrainians in the east, as they begin this fierce fight? >> jake, thanks for being forward and reporting from lviv and on the ground. that's really important observation that you're making. it's very important, this intelligence. i don't know what it is. i have no access to the intelligence itself. but the capacity for the united states is the most sophisticated intelligence gathering capabilities on the planet to provide strategic intelligence to the ukrainians on major russian troop movements and concentration, operational intelligence to help the ukrainian plan specific lines of operations and a counteroffensive, and then tactical intelligence to support those tactical ukrainian units in contact with the russians to apply fire power and maneuver to good effect would be extremely important to ukrainians as a troop multiplier. and of course i'm sure the united states can provide very precise target intelligence as well for the detection and

elimination of key targets. so, this is an extremely important american contribution to the ukrainian capacity to wage counteroffensive to take back ukraine from the russian invaders. >> you heard the ukrainian foreign minister say earlier today speaking to a nato audience that he expects the battle in the east, in the donbas region, between the ukrainian military and the russian military just to be such a wide scale when it comes to armored vehicles and tanks and planes and thousands of troops, that it will be like nothing we have seen since world war ii. how do you assess that prediction? >> i think that's probably accurate. we'll see a battle unfold that will be characterized by maneuver and fire power. and as the foreign minister said, as many people are

predicting, we'll see operations and battles unfold where armored -- protected armored maneuver and high levels of fire power will make the difference. and we'll see it both applied by the ukrainians, hopefully, and we'll also see the russians' tempt, once again, to create combined arms operations, where they failed miserably in the vicinity of kyiv. now we'll see the ukrainians moving from the strategic defense to the strategic offense, as they seek to move to the east and expel russians out of the donbas area. >> take a listen, general allen, to general mark milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. this is what he said winning looks like. >> i would say that, you know, what does winning look like? i think winning is ukraine remains a free and independent nation that it's been since 1991 with their territorial integrity intact. that's going to be very difficult. it's going to be a long slog.

>> how long a slog do you think this will be? will the 60,000 antitank and 25,000 antiaircraft weapons that the u.s. and nato countries have provided the ukrainians, will that be enough? is there a lot more going on that we probably don't know about in terms of military assistance being provided by other countries? >> it's going to take a long time, jake. if the russians are smart, they would be digging in right now on the ground that they have taken. and i think it's important when you look at the maps that show large swaths of ukraine colored in red, supposedly occupied by russian forces, that doesn't mean that all that ground is covered by russian forces. there are concentrations of russian forces, but large swaths of that ground under the red still are in the hands of ukrainians, who are fighting boldly in an insurgency against those russian forces as well. what general milley is saying is

in fact correct. we would want to say that the definition of winning is the expelling of russian forces from ukraine. that's going to take a while. the russians do have a lot of fire power capabilities. they do have some capacity for maneuver. where we have seen them fail, of course, is in their leadership n their capacity in close to fight with the ukrainians to be effective. even when they have defaulted to their reflex, which is to apply massive fire power against civilian populations and municipalities, even that has not broken the ukrainian spirit of the people, nor has it broken the ukrainian military. but it's going to tack a long time, i think. and i'm very careful about ever predicting the end of some kind of a conflict or a phase of a conflict. it's going to take a long time though because the ukrainians are going to have to rout them out. >> thank you so much for your time and insights this evening. as we noted earlier, the

we continue now live from lviv. the head of the luhansk state administration said today that russian forces have destroyed all of the hospitals and other medical institutions in that part of eastern ukraine, all of them. that is the reality in many parts of this country. no hospital seemed safe from attacks by russian soldiers or russian missiles. my team and i visited a hospital in western ukraine to speak with the civilian victims of this war who had been brought to this part of the country from all over ukraine. their journeys to come here just to try to survive in cases took days. here are some of their stories. just as putin's forces did in syria, so too are they targeting hospitals and medical centers here in ukraine. 279 hospitals have been damaged since the war started, according

to the ukrainian health minister, with 19 of them completely decimated. forcing thousands of innocent ukrainian civilians wounded in russian attacks in the east and south to be shuttled hundreds of miles to hospitals in western ukraine to fight to stay alive, such as olga. do you ever think you'll be able to go back to your normal life? she ran a grocery store in the luhansk region with her husband, maxim, when seven bombs hit their neighborhood, shrapnel pummelling her apartment building. >> translator: i have lost everything. i have lost my flat, my property, my health. we didn't expect to see it. we always have counted russians as brotherly people. we never hoped they will exterminate us like that. >> reporter: olga has been here in this hospital in this bed for

one month. she may never walk again. their elderly neighbor was killed in the same attack. they tell me she had been so scared she stayed with them for a few days before her life was so brutally and unfairly snuffed out by putin's bombs. by now it is clear these attacks on civilian apartment buildings are no accident. entire civilian city blocks in irpin and mariupol, residential apartment buildings have been obliterated. the facts lead to only one conclusion. the russians are purposely slaughtering ukrainians, moms and dads, children, grandparents. the russian government, of course, denies targeting civilians. a group of american doctors with expertise in war injuries because of unfortunate american experiences in afghanistan and iraq, were visiting the hospital when we were there. meeting with mayor of lviv, sharing what they knew about war

wounds. >> we wanted to share information from our experiences in the war in iraq and afghanistan and in the civilian hospitals in the u.s. >> thank you for visit. thank you for support. and thank you for cooperation. it is very important for ukraine and for united states and for future. >> reporter: these are brutal injuries that are unfamiliar to young surgeons in western ukraine. chief surgeon has seen an influx of thousands of these patients. >> the injury that we have now is unbelievable. >> what do you want the world to know about what you are seeing here? >> i want the world to know that -- they need to know that the russian forces, they don't fight with the ukrainian army. they fight with the ukrainian people. they kill civilians. they kill children.

they destroy our country. >> translator: shrapnel, shrapnel now in my back n my feet, everywhere. >> reporter: before he was a patient, whose body is now riddled with shrapnel when his home was hit, he was an anesthesiologist. >> translator: the flat where we lived in is destroyed. my parents' flat is destroyed. my wife's flat is destroyed. we lost everything. >> reporter: he has a number an army medic wrote on his arm so they could keep track of patients needing help in the chaos of the war. causing war, creating war is not just directly inflicting pain with bullets and bombs on a people. it's also creating conditions of desperation, which poses a whole other set of problems, whether disease or starvation or panic. >> these secondary effects from

the kchaos of putin's war can also be fatal. >> we had a happy life. everything was perfect, and everything changed abruptly. >> reporter: we met ola on her 45th birthday. she and her husband alex and 10-year-old son had been hiding in their basement in the kharkiv region for a month. the shelling, they said, was relentless. >> translator: we were so afraid, especially our kid was so afraid we couldn't stay anymore. >> reporter: when the building next door was flattened, she was so scared for her son's life, they got in their car and fled. she had not slept for two days. she was in a horrific car accident. >> translator: they couldn't and operate severe broken skull and bones. >> so, you can't see right now? >> translator: only silhouettes, like very far away. >> do you think you'll ever go back to the life you had?

>> translator: i hope it will. the school where my child learn has been destroyed, but i hope if our house stays safe that we will return, rebuild. our neighbor will rebuild our village, our town. i love my ukraine so much, i would only want to live here in ukraine. >> reporter: putin fashions himself an alpha male, a tough guy. one has to wonder why hejs slaughtering civilians, seniors, women and children, mutilating women such as olga and ola, are those the actions of a strong powerful man, or are they the actions of someone else, someone weaker and pathetic? coming up, new cnn reporting, ukrainian is described as forced into filtration camps. they say they were given two choices gorks to russia or die. that's next. our installers complete your work in as littlee

we continue now live from lviv. the united states -- i'm sorry, the united nations general assembly suspended russia today

from the human rights council. it's a moment so rare you see the delegates recording the vote tally on their cell phones. the russian delegate, of course, proceeded to claim that russia was actually quitting the council, which as the ukrainian ambassador pointed out is like trying to say, you can't fire me, i quit. for context, the only other country suspended by the united nations human rights council was libya in 2011 after omar gaddafi launched that brutal crackdown on his own people. let's bring in our correspondent. what is the impact of today's vote, if any? >> it will bring some relief from the white house's perspective because it robs russia of an incredible powerful bully pulpit. and we were already starting to see that with the threats russia was making. if you don't vote in the way -- in fact if you even abstain, let alone vote against us, there will be consequences.

the language is we will perceive this as an unfriendly gesture. the worry, though, for a lot of those countries that did end up abstaining, like, egypt is they need russia. egypt is dependent on -- something like 80% of its wheat comes from russia. there are real consequences. and much of the international community is going to be looking to the u.s. to buffer some of the strong stands. >> meanwhile russia is so offended by this diplomatic action, there are reports of russians taking survivors of places that they are assaulting like mariupol to so-called filtration centers. what is the significance of that? explain what that is. >> we keep hearing putin is a student of history, and this is very much meant to evoke some of the most haunting moments in the history of both this country and the region at large. this call back to stalin's deportation program. this calls back to what happened

in chechnya, that was so well documented. and when you start listening to m so of the testimony that cnn was able to gather, it is incredibly chilling, the documentation, the detail, the photographing of these people from so many different angles, the concerns that they have, that they will forever be haunted and chased down by the russian state's apparatus of oppression. but, again, also it tells the world that putin is will to use, whether it's imagery from the holocaust or imagery from the program, he is willing to manipulate so much of what is most painful to not just this region but the world as large. >> we want to share an update given tonight by a badly injured fellow journalist, benjamin hall of fox news. as you may recall, two of his fox colleagues were killed last month when their vehicle came under fire outside kyiv. benjamin hall just tweeted out this photograph of himself and these words on his account,

quote, to sum it up, i've lost half a leg on one side and a foot on the other, one hand is being put together, one eye is no longer working, and my hearing is pretty blown. but all in all, i pretty feel pretty damn lucky to be here, and it is the people who got me here who are amazing. we just want to note that this announcement from benjamin home and send him our best wishes for his continued recovery in such a horrible, horrible incident with him and his fox colleagues. obviously the photo journalist was killed and the other producer was killed as well. >> we'll speak to the cou consequences of bearing witness and especially i think the message that russia wants to send about the consequences of bearing witness. and there was a recent amnesty international report and one of the things that struck me on the reporting on the detail of a lot of the atrocities is it doesn't seem to be about public

consumption. we see this with the targeting of journalists. it is about sending a message of the consequences to the people here on the ground. so, bhu see all of that, we're not seeing trophy videos. we're not seeing a lot of what we've seen in other conflicts like syria or ethiopia. what we're seeing is a message of terror that's intended to subjoaos subjugate the civilian population. it's wonderful to hear that benjamin is still with us and you are here and others are here to allow so much of this to filter out to the world. that is really not what russia wants to see happening. >> that's why there's almost no essential independent press in russia. they don't want anything other than putin's version of everything. >> and the consequences for our own colleagues, who are based in the moscow bureau. we have so many wonderful colleagues who are now estranged from their families, unable to go back. it is incredible work. >> so good to see you, as always. coming up, a ukrainian mother trying to make it home on

she's seen cycling through bucha, heading towards a large number of russian vehicles. as she approaches a corner, she dismounts. one of the vehicles fires. she moves around the corner out of sight, and it fires again and again, at least five more times. then a large muzzle flash from a second concealed vehicle. moments later, smoke rises from near that corner. a different video geo located by cnn to the same corner shows a dead woman on the ground next to a bike. other images of that body clearly show her hand and her distinctive nails. the woman who only recently taught irina how to apply makeup recognized them instantly. >> shows a heart on the finger, because it started to love

herself. this woman was incredible. >> reporter: olga didn't need to see the nails to know that was her mother's body. she tells me she doesn't know what she feels now. it's such a void, she says. when i saw it was my mother, the war faded away. the war ended with her, and i lost the war. olga says her mother called her while she was cycling that day, not long before she had been killed. she had been sheltering at her workplace, and decided to go home because she thought it would be safer. tell us about your mother. how would you like the world to know her? she says irina had a hard life, overcoming obstacles, only really starting to live in the last two years. but she could do the impossible and inspired others to believe they could too. elsewhere in bucha, someone recorded the moment three men were found, all facedown in a

yard, all shot in the head. this video is how olga found out her son, roman, and son-in-law sergei had been killed. she says "i don't want to live anymore. the grief. i cry day and night. i don't know thou live." images from bucha have taught the world undeniable truths about the brutality of russia's invasion. for some that knowledge is deeply personal and impossibly painful. these are just two families directly impacted by the atrocities committed in bucha, and they want the world to know and understand what happened there. but they also want those they've lost to be remembered for who they were, not just as victims or brutalized bodies left hend in russia's retreat. jay? >> phil black, thank you so much. really appreciate it. we'll be right back. from within?
