9:04 am
so does the destruction from russia's wall, as the incalculable suffering of innocent civilians becomes devastating. the clear our correspond. nick conley joins me now from the ukrainian capital care. good morning, nick. we just heard the ukrainian foreign minister accusing russia there of committing atrocities in boucher. what can you tell us about what happened there? well, it's very difficult to try to reconstruct this because there was no access to butcher as long as the russians were there. and even now it's severely limited. but we have heard reports today from a satellite company that some of these alleged mass graves were already being excavated at days and weeks before the russians left her future. so had those seemingly some preparations going on there. we have the stories from eye witnesses
9:05 am
talking about people going missing, people being killed. as you hear about, a russian forces looking for people who are involved in the territorial forces as well. looking for civilians and accusing civilians of being at participating in that military activity. gates them and you hear just of a climate of fear, people who are there because he cut off from the outside world for weeks at a time. and often with very little in the way of connection with of a connection ability to find out what was going on outside and generally now among ordinary ukrainians. extraordinary shock and disbelief kind of turning into anger. now, seeing these images, civilians with their alms tied killed. i think people thought here that they had seen it all of the teen image, the marable of a civilians basically surrounded for weeks at a time and base. the indiscriminate shelling being used against residential districts, those images marble, a marble of people having to bury their loved ones in that gardens. but there was no way no more, no infrastructure to deal with those civilian victims. but here seemingly
9:06 am
a whole new quality of violence and of targeted killing of civilians em, i think people here an hour just kind of digesting that. i don't see there is the hope now and part of the ukrainian government that, that will finally force western european countries and the us to do more to provide more weapons to up sanctions. gates, russia, you hear something time and time again. here in ukraine sits. they say to you, we don't need sympathy, we don't need empathy, we don't need compassion, we need weapons, and we need sanctions. nick, i understand you've been to several areas around key of where ukrainian troops have free taken territory from retreating. russian forces. tell us what you've seen there. yesterday we were about a 100150 kilometers north east of kia said the east bank, the whitney pro. these were a small village in town that had been retaken by ukrainian forces within the last couple of days. and these towns had been under russian occupation for the best part of a month. the russians got there very quickly at the beginning of this war in late february,
9:07 am
and for the most part, locals told us they were hiding out and home for that month, sitting in their sellers, trying to keep out of the eyes of the russian forces. there they said the rush of voices were confused and often very badly supplied that these russian forces had basically regrouped their lots of different units that had been the sustained lot of damage from ukrainian forces. taking those towns and often seemingly without much in the way of their own food supplies, having to ask or steal food from locals. houses which we were shown that had been left empty by fling locals and had been robbed. t, v's any cal electronics, other furniture, just taken out in full, and people just telling us of sitting in their sellers for, for hours at a time. not really knowing where the artillery fire was come from. we saw lots of craters everywhere, where the intents are terrified between the russians. ukrainians had basically happened all around this village. lots of burnt out, russian tanks, russian, alma vehicles. and more importantly, perhaps people telling you about those that were missing. lots of people on
9:08 am
accounted for. we didn't see bodies on the streets as everyone has seen eliza mention, butcher. but lots people still unaccounted for and a real kind of sense of dread that in the days, weeks come. they can find out where to find people who they assume of lost their lives, who had been taken by those russian forces who are under the kind of pretext of looking for ukrainian forces. i think the ukranian territorial forces fighters had gone house to house and had applied senior pressure to that population there in these villages that basically if the most bought thought that the war would pass them by, but actually found themselves the center of some pretty horrific fighting and pretty horrific conditions under that were so occupational. thank you very much for now. our correspondent nick connelly. the interior for more we can talk now to yona cnn co. she works with the international committee, the red cross in ukraine. she joins us from kia unit. let me start by asking you
9:09 am
about what happened in boucher is the red cross able to confirm that russian troops committed atrocities there. we are going to put it tomorrow and i'm going there with a very heavy heart prepared to, to what we're going to see, the images that are circulating and that we saw or are simply shocking. and it is at the, at the core of the international humanitarian law that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected. and we continue repeating it tirelessly to both parties in the conflict. are you able to work independently in ukraine? how much access do you have to places like boucher or mario pole? the i sir see works independently everywhere in the world. if we don't work independently, we simply don't work because they neutrality and independence are at the core principles of what we do. that hello was document to violations of international
9:10 am
humanitarian law and speak with warring parties to prevent those violations from happening. and this is what we're striving to do in ukraine as well. of course the axis has been extremely difficult to many places because of the heavy fighting heavy shelling. but we are of, we went to pin and we are here today where they are again today. and i'm going to go to tomorrow and hoping to reach places like chattanooga in the days to come note, tell us what you have seen. you're going to butcher the more you say, but you've been to your pain already. tell us what you've seen there. with sin, images of utter distillate, desolation and destruction, entire civilian neighborhoods destroyed beyond repair. streets are littered with unexploded remnants of war. there still places that are heavily mind and are extremely dangerous to get to which is
9:11 am
a huge problem for us because we are trying to get more supplies into these places . and unfortunately, right now it is impossible to send trucks. so we are doing back and forth trying to bring as many places we need with 4 by 4 because people need absolutely everything they need water. they ask for bread, they ask for generators just to be able to charge their phone and call the loved ones for the amount of needs are just beyond beyond understanding you yourself are ukrainian before i let you go, let me ask you how you're coping with all this you tweeted the other day that you're experiencing the most difficult moments of your life, right? this is a terrible situation and is affecting of course it is affecting me like all other people living in this country on a deep personal level. so it is very difficult moment professionally because we are
9:12 am
trying to do the most we can, but this situation is very difficult in access to many places. it's very difficult, but personally it is also a very shocking and very painful experience because we just never could imagine that we would see something like this in our lifetime. well, you want to thank you very much for talking with us. that was of the honor and then go with the international committee of the red cross. as russia pulls troops away from ukraine's north, new explosions are being reported in the strategic lexi port of odessa. this follows weekend air strikes that russia says targeted an oil plant and fuel depos used to supply ukrainian forces. residents fear this might be the beginning of a larger assault on the city. bomb strike ukraine's main port city of odessa. turning the dawn sky orange waking residence up to

9:16 am
the war in ukraine. viewed, the balkan country has not imposed any sanctions for russia or would on maneuver in hungary, nationalist prime minister, victor, or bon has won a large majority and sundays parliamentary election. that means he will serve a 4th consecutive term in office. his 5th of rome roc or bonds fit as the party, on course to win more than 2 thirds of the seats in parliament incumbent successfully. so often challenge from an alliance with opposition parties united against him. he has faced accusations of eroding democracy in hungary, throughout his 12 years as prime minister and his clashed with the european union over rule of wall standards. let's hear what we're about himself had to say about his victory. awkward, are you sam? at all, we have won a victory so big that you can see it from the moon. and you can certainly see it from brussels. or corresponding funny thought,
9:17 am
shaw is in budapest. funny. 6 opposition parties from across hungary political spectrum teamed up to challenge or bon yet he pulled off a resounding victory. how did he do it? if you ask to support us by simply pushing the hungarian interests 1st, because this is what promised to victor alba was campaigning. on, by the way, not only now, but also during the past decade, putting hungary 1st. that's been a company, but a by a multi 1000000000 you're spending spree before the election. question is, of course, who's going to pay for it now after the election? this is the question, many of his supporters do not pose, but they are rather inclined just to see what they see as a benefit as a temporary benefit, right now. tax incentives, tax rebate for families, a price cap on oil, a price cut on certain food items. all of these things actually very populous. take measures where a trickling into that decision when millions of people have cast
9:18 am
a ballot and the majority of them that lead to a super majority in parliament actually here behind me. casting to ballad for the ruling fittest party for a 4th, a tomb in office with a food consecutive to him in office. this is something obviously that's being explained to you. however, not only a by these domestic measures, but also what's happening in the neighboring country. the whoo, in ukraine bought on the other side of that coin, populace measures here. or there is also just how much to message a by the united l position alliance. how strong wasn't really, if a majority of people, he cast a ballot for fetus and not for this united alliance, various opposition parties from left to right. ok, the opposition candidate peter mark is soya. hers admitted defeat, but seeing to suggest this was not a fair fight,
9:19 am
good listening to what he had to say to them actual give adequate appropriate on. we have to acknowledge the fact that this election was one by propaganda and not by honesty but your honor. and because so is marcie sawyer, right funny was this election neither free nor fair? that's will observe us to the side and have a quite a few. observe as the sun around alone, o. c has deployed about 200 circle short to observe us huge a full scale observing mission compared to previous elections, but also have been thousands of volunteers here in hungary. i from the opposition party observing whether everything is going according to the rule of law. did it really go according to the rule of law? they've been various reports already yesterday, but also allegations in the run up to the election yesterday that vote voter fraud is going to take place. there is no final verging on that. but if you zoom in on
9:20 am
the media landscape in hungary, the fact that the death message of the ruling a fetus government really could reach it without much higher a potential there. the voters compared to the i, representation of the opposition parties and the message that imbalance, that certainly didn't change co pay to previous elections. the final verdict is to come. however, just really all fair. the selection was promised to vote. victor alba deems not only fair, but also free. i let's really see what that final verdict is here in hungary money . the war in ukraine cast a shadow over the election, of course, or talk to us about what role it played in the campaign. the war a neighboring ukraine cannot be ignored. it could not be ignored, neither by the government, nobody opposition allies. it the alta actually to political context in which the selection to place and the way the government handle this issue is trying to cater
9:21 am
both to those voters who read out more or less conditioned actually to like the fact that hungary is really much very much alive. economically with russia, but also promised to victor alba was trying to cater to those voters, especially the undecided voters, given this message of bees that hungary is going to stay out of the school. so yes, the one ukraine definitely played a role whether that actually was the decision making factor here for primaries to victor alba land the super majority vector, victor in parliament, day behind me is up to be is to be decided and analyzed. but it certainly didn't hurt him the war in ukraine and the political message that he then used to kate's at various narratives here for the hunger and audience. thank you very much. our correspondent, pony pouch. other in budapest the russian invasion of ukraine has force millions of ukrainians to leave their homes
9:22 am
and seek safety and shelter elsewhere. in addition to the 4000000 who have left for neighboring countries like hungary, another estimate as 6 and a half 1000000 people are thought to be displaced inside the country itself. their needs are great, but a relief network of volunteers is doing its best to ensure refugees are supplied with groceries, medication and other items sorely needed in a war. so full vans, full of donated, medical devices are on their way to the ukranian border on the way back. these helpers planned to bring as many refugees with them as possible. vilma peters is at the wheel. she's from munich and normally works as a tour manager for musicians and bands. but since the war broke out, she's made it her mission to provide humanitarian aid. and then again, when i see all the children definitely hits me like it, but i'm not like, oh this poor kid needs my sympathy or i'm thinking,
9:23 am
let's get this kid out of here. get of the drivers are all volunteers from across germany. some knew each other before, while others joined up to form the convoy. they can't just sit back and watch what's happening in ukraine. as isn't this ours, i'm not afraid then given, given the space, certainly have a degree of respectful situation. but my motivation to help is far greater than any fear, something might happen with program cuba and the to little will have right next to us. we have to make a quick getaway than most, most never gone for their 1st stop there. visiting knute bowski, the berlin is renting a room in a hotel in southern poland. from here he crosses the ukrainian border with private aid transports. once a day, his usual cargo consists of medicine, medical supplies, and devices. he urgently needs all the donations from vilma, peters his convoy and her father. thus complex la lou, this will go to
