kramatorsk where men, women and children were waiting for a train to escape the conflict. dozens were killed where they stood. ukraine's president vowed to pursue the attack as a war crime. here he is. >> translator: we expect a firm global response to this war crime. like the massacre in bucha, like many other russian war crimes, the missile strike on kramatorsk must be one of the charges at the tribunal, which is bound to happen. >> there are allegations the russian missiles delivered cluster bombs which scatter and explode over a wide area. the pentagon says moscow's denial of involvement is just not credible. >> we find unconvincing russian claims that they weren't involved, particularly when the ministry actually announced it, and then when they saw reports of civilian casualties, decided to un-announce it. so our assessment is that this

was a russian strike and that they used a short range ballistic missile to conduct it. >> meantime, ukraine military commanders say russian forces massing near the eastern donbas region are almost ready to begin an all-out assault. and the united states has been ramping up its military presence in neighboring poland, conducting joint exercises with polish forces. cnn's phil black has more now on the aftermath of kramatorsk. a warning, the images in his report are shocking. the details are graphic, but all of this reveals the true level of brutality the ukrainians are blaming on russian forces. >> reporter: for many who fear what is coming in eastern ukraine, kramatorsk station has been a gateway to safety. crowds of people have packed its platforms in recent days, desperate to increase their distance from a region russia says it will soon conquer with overwhelming force.

witnesses say thousands came again on friday morning. they sought safety. they couldn't escape the war. these are the moments after a ballistic missile exploded at the station, after debris and shrapnel tore through the crowd. so many dead bodies, a person cries. only children, just children. when the screaming eventually stopped, the broken bodies of the innocent remained. we have to hide much of this scene. most of those lying bleeding and still are women and children. survivors fled. we managed to contact some by phone while they sheltered together in a public building, still scared and shaken. this woman says she looked up when she thought she heard a plane. then it exploded, and everyone

went down. this man says he heard the blast and threw his body over his daughter. the remains of the missile that terrified and hurt so many crashed down near the station. hasn't-painted russian words mark its side, declaring the weapon's avenging purpose. it says "for the children." the author and their intent are unknown. the result is yet another moment of horror in a war with endless capacity for taking and destroying innocent lives. phil black, cnn, lviv, ukraine. >> the united states now believes russia has lost more than 15% of military assets sent into ukraine at the start of this invasion. a senior u.s. defense official says moscow is down to less than 85% of combat power nationally set aside for the war. the assessment includes russian tanks, fighter jets, missiles,

and troop numbers. the official did not say how many russian soldiers have been killed since this conflict began. much of northern ukraine is in ruins following russia's failed push on the city of chernihiv. russian forces have now abandoned the region as they focus on the east. cnn's clarissa ward shows us the trail of destruction left in their wake. >> reporter: this is what remains of russia's presence in much of northern ukraine, a hastily abandoned camp by the roadside, just 30 miles in from the belarusian border, where soldiers dug in and prepared for their advance, their foxholes still littered with their rations. so this is where it looks like they were doing their cooking. you can see some onions, coffee, some water, some cans over there. but what's so striking walking around this camp is that it's just a mess. it seems there was a total lack of discipline. around the corner in the village

of chernihiv, ludmila tells us residents hid their valuables as russian forces looted the area. "five weeks they were staying here. tanks were all around us. at night they would shoot at the houses with machine guns," she says. "but praise god, they didn't touch us." as the russians continued their lightning offensive down to the city of chernihiv, their tactics grew more brutal. faced with stiff resistance on the ground, they doubled down on bombardment from the skies. ukrainian soldier bogdan shows us what is left of this village just outside chernihiv. the scale of the destruction is jaw-dropping. not a single house is untouched. bogdan explains that this was the final push to get into the city. so he's saying that this was a

ukrainian position. the russians bombed it heavily, and then russian soldiers were actually here in this area just a mile away from the city. nikolai never saw the russian soldiers here, but he felt the full force of their assault. "this is my cellar," he says. he tells us his nephew was sheltering from the bombardment there whether it took a direct hit. pinned down, nikolai was forced to bury him in a shallow grave in the garden. "we put a cross and covered it with a shield so the dogs wouldn't dig him up," he says. "i feel such hatred for putin. i want to tear him apart. i lived for 70 years, but i never saw a beast like this." many here fear they haven't seen the last of him. on a destroyed bridge, an

emotional tatiana and svetlana are returning from their first visit with their parents since the war began. they're worried they may not see them again. "we don't know if the russians will come back to the village where my parents are," tatiana says. "and this is so scary." in the end, russia's offensive in the north was a failure, but the scars of its assault remain deep, and the prospect of a return to normalcy still seems far away. clarissa ward, cnn, chernihiv region, ukraine. >> the president of kyiv's school of economics, a former economics minister joins us. thank you for being with us. as we take a close look at the drone footage we've been seeing from the city of mariupol, for example, the extent of the

destruction there. before the russian invasion, it was a beautiful city. but now it's a pile of rubble. 90% of the buildings damaged or destroyed according to the mayor. how can that city be rebuilt? apart from the loss of life, the economic cost must be staggering. >> yes. in mariupol, it's probably -- or more already -- in the areas which have been -- it's on the order of $68 billion, and that's not counting -- areas have all -- kharkiv -- actually, and mariupol is in rubble. the amount is staggering. just to compare it, give a perspective, compare it with syria. the numbers there was about

$40 billion. >> so where does that money come from? is it possible given the fact that we have intercepted radio chatter that the russian soldiers have been sent out to deliberately cause this exdtent of damage on civilian infras infrastructure? >> we have experience with -- assets that was the president in 2013, 2014, who started all of this, and who was ousted, after which crimea was annexed. many of his assets in the world and of his buddies were restricted and frozen. but almost none were then returned to ukraine. so what we have learned that the legal -- will not be very effective, or at least it has not been very effective.

it has been a political process, and the governments have to make decision to confiscate these assets now and put them aside, and then later they can be used for the construction. >> many cities have all experienced major damage as civilians living without electricity, without running water. is it possible to begin reconstruction to try to give them some relief while this offensive is still ongoing? is there a concern if you do start to rebuild, it just becomes a target once more for the russian military? >> again, i think we can and should look into the history of what we already know about russia. in the east of ukraine, the hot war in donbas and donetsk has been raging for eight years, and has never been a clear stop to the war. so i think with this war, it will be something similar where we'll end up having the end of hot stages of the war, but some skirmishes and some attacks will

continue for a long time. so reconstruction and rebuilding should be happening now to the extent it is possible because there will never be this clear a moment that everything is over. >> how important is it right now for the united states and the europeans to mount some kind of marshall plan, some kind of massive effort to finance the reconstruction of this country, not just to lift the morale of the people of ukraine but also to send a message to putin that whatever he does here will be undone? >> in the end, it will be determined by whether the monies, you know, is available, right? whether there is actual liquidity to start rebuilding right away. so there is a lot of talk about it, and that's good, and there's a lot of different groups and governments and think tanks and international financial institutions trying to organize such a relief effort. but, you know, many of them are

not going to be effective. for example, the world bank or the imf, they still have russia as a shareholder, so that's going to be problematic. they should be a stand-alone agency, and that agency has to be on partner terms with the ukrainian government. and then the reconstruction effort should be split in two. those money which goes just for rebuilding what was lost has to be managed by the ukrainian government. everything which has to do with reconstruction, with developing as to be done by an agency which has to be created yet. >> there is also this bizarre circumstance where we had the europeans talking about helping with the reconstruction of ukraine, but at the same time right now, they continue to send a billion dollars every day to moscow for oil and gas. so in a way, they're funding the war, and then they want to try and fund the reconstruction. it seems sort of bizarre.

>> indeed, and it's even worse than that. you know, some of the european countries are worried that if they stop funding the war, if they impose an embargo, they're going to enter a recession or lose some of the gdp. so they are saving this gdp so that the part of it later is going to be used to reconstruct and rebuild ukraine. so it's problematic from the moral point of view, from ethical point of view, but those are from an economic point of view. i think it's a false hope that somehow managing with russia will be economically profitable. >> yeah. it's a long road ahead for the reconstruction clearly, and this isn't over yet. but there are people living in terrible circumstances, so they need relief now. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. well, there is new evidence that vladimir putin may have

badly miscalculated if he thought invading ukraine would make nato back off from an eastward expansion. officials now tell cnn discussions about finland and sweden joining the alliance are now extremely serious. public opinion in favor of the all alliance is growing significantly in both countries. the kremlin says russia would be forced to rebalance the situation if finland joins nato, and finland, just to note this, was hit by two cyberattacks and an airspace violation by a russian plane on friday. still to come, the russian president has tried to use religion as justification for this invasion, but ukrainians are finding strength in their faith as they resist the kremlin's aggression. christiane amanpour will have that story in just a moment. wait, what? it sounded like you just said an eye drop that may helelp you see up close. i did. it's an n innovative way to... so, wait. i don't alwaysys have to wear reading glasses? yeah! vuity™ helps you see up close. so, i can see up close with just my eyes?

but as cnn's christiane amanpour reports, religious identity is a source of strength for ukrainians as they fight to save their homeland. >> reporter: among the most spectacular sights all over ukraine are the golden domed christian orthodox churches. ♪ here, especially in wartime, they've taken on the outsized role of nationhood. at saint michael's metropolitan, he leads his parishioners praying for peace and victory. >> translator: we suffer together with ukrainians. we are part of our ukrainian people, especially now when the aggressor, the russian federation, especially putin, is trying to destroy us as a ukrainian nation. >> reporter: when a kyiv prince

converted to christianity in the year 998 a.d., he started this church and the one in russia, which then grew to be the dominant branch. but he says russia is now losing political influence over ukraine. over the years, vladimir putin has harnessed himself and his project for a greater russia to the church, and so parishioners here know that their church's very survival hangs in the balance. 54-year-old tatiana pushes piety aside just for a moment. >> translator: putin is such a cynical man that any evil is easy for him. i wish he were dad. sorry, you can't say that in a temple, but it's honest. >> reporter: and there's even harsh words for his moscow counterpart, who supports putin's vision of an empire centered on the church.

>> translator: as head of the church, he should be telling the truth to putin and russians about what is happening in ukraine, not supporting and blessing it. so i would tell him to be a pastor and not a murderer of ukrainians. >> reporter: but this nationalist conflict waged in part through religion has been brewing ever since the church here became independent in 2019. when this church was actually granted its formal independence, it added a whole new layer of grievance, and outrage and protest from russia. president putin even warned darkly that switching allegiance by the ukrainians could lead to serious dispute, even blood she, he said. th take the idea that he launched this war to denazify ukraine. so we visited kyiv's holocaust memorial site at babyn yar to try to understand that term in a nation with a jewish president

and several minister who's have outlawed anti-semitism. they say, you know, so and so ukrainian is a nazi. it means anti-russia or anti-semitic. >> definitely putin doesn't care about babyn yar, doesn't care about holocaust when he's speaking about de-nazification. >> how powerful an entity are ultra nationalists or fascists here? >> in ukraine, they try to go for elections a couple of times, every time succeeding to get 1%. people are very reluctant to give power to ultra right. >> reporter: this is the deputy director of babyn yar. he tells us yar means ravine, and he shows us the precise site where more than 30,000 jews were executed on september 29 and 30, 1941. today the most beautiful synagogue has been built to memorialize them. the swiss architect and ukrainian engineers have devised an elaborate and complex

structure, revealing itself through a system of pulleys, to be in part based on synagogues that used to dot the ancient countryside. over 1.5 million jews lived here before world war ii. about 1 million were killed in the holocaust. it's believed that 43,000 jews still live in ukraine although perhaps four times that number claim jewish ancestry. as we peer into the audio visual history of how 100,000 jews and others were simply gunned down during world war ii in this area alone, ruslan tells us that russia needs to respect ukraine's tragic past, not distort it. and back at saint michael's, here's 8-year-old iryna. >> translator: i would tell putin to come to his senses and not to harm people. what right does he have? well, who is he, and why is he destroying us like this? we pray and ask god that it will

be over soon. >> reporter: the wall around saint michael's is dedicated to some of the 14,000 soldiers who have been killed since putin first invaded back in 2014. and the people pray for ukraine to win what they call the struggle against evil and stostop it spreading any further. christiane amanpour, cnn, kyiv. if you would like to help the people of ukraine, please go to cnn.com/impact. so far, cnn viewers have raised millions of dollars to help not just ukraine but neighboring countries to provide shelter, food, water, and everything else that is needed. i'm john vause. for our international viewers. stay with us. for our viewers in north america, i will have a lot more live from ukraine in just a moment.

welcome back, everyone. i'm john vause live in lviv, ukraine. and ukraine now calling for a top global response to russia's attack on the kramatorsk train station that left 50 people dead and wounded dozens of others, russian forces were aware that train platform was filled with civilians, moms, dads, and kids all waiting to be evacuated, but that missile strike went ahead anyway. this was the scene moments before the attack. crowds of people inside the station. all of this was recorded by a ukrainian journalist, would was there to cover the evacuations. he spoke to cnn's erin burnett and described the moment the missile hit. >> translator: when that

horrible thing happened, what i could feel right away was this air blast, this really powerful wave. although the explosion itself didn't seem to be that hard, the wave was unbelievable. it's as if something just hit you onto your head, and your legs couldn't keep you any longer. you couldn't stand on them. and you understand that something terrible happened, but you're not aware what it is, and you're afraid to look up, but you know you have to do something. >> well, as russia steps up the attacks in the east of the country, the ukrainian government has said to civilians if they can evacuate, they should. according to officials, more than 6,600 people fled by humanitarian corridors on friday. in the coming hours, humanitarian corridors will open for mariupol and the luhansk

we decided to go through romania, through hungary, and slovenia, then poland. >> reporter: yana sits at a table full of donated supplies and goes to school remotely on her phone, right in the middle of this warsaw refugee center. >> and she's okay? >> she says yes. >> reporter: ludmila is not so sure about her own trauma. >> even here, every time when i hear some sounds and when the plane is flying, i'm afraid. >> reporter: poland's generosity towards ukraine's flood of refugees -- shelter, food, baby supplies -- is well documented. less known is a focus on what you cannot see, the mental health of the mostly women and children who cross the border. you've redirected a lot of the psychiatrists/psychologists to the ukrainians. >> yes, i have.

>> reporter: warsaw's mayor says tending to ukrainians' emotional wounds is critical. foundations drop leaflets encouraging ukrainian refugees to seek counseling. >> those kids are incredibly resi resilient, but you never know what's beneath the surface. >> but it wasn't that long ago that people kind of said, suck it up. just deal with it. that's not where we are in society anymore. >> especially when you see what's happening in ukraine, how vicious this war was and all of those atrocities committed by russian soldiers, and those kids watch tv. you know, they see it. ♪ >> reporter: in this group session, the mental health professional for ukrainian women is a fellow refugee. in the women's circle, as they call it, buried emotions spring to the surface. while mothers tend to their own mental health, their children are in a makeshift day care on the other side of the room. little yana is thrilled by the

the most prominent trauma is women don't see tomorrow. they're not sure. they're frightened and scared. they don't feel protection anywhere, and it's important to convey to them that there is tomorrow. >> reporter: as for today, seeing their children playing, smiling, laughing, it helps get them to tomorrow. dana bash, cnn, warsaw, poland. paula, the numbers of children that have been affected by this conflict. unicef says almost two-thirds of the children in this country, all of them have been forced from their homes. either they've moved from the east to the west, or they're refugees in another country. those numbers are staggering, and that will have implications for years to come. >> yeah, as you say, staggering need and implications for years. i can't help by watching that, just to think of all those children that are missing their fathers, their uncles, their grandparents, the fact they've had such separation in these
