but for so many others the nightmare continues. >> clarissa joins us now. is it common for civilians to be captured and used as bargaining chips in these exchanges? >> reporter: well, anderson, it's really difficult to get exact numbers on this because so many of these people, these ordinary civilians are literally just disappeared so often families don't even know where they've been taken to. but we've spoken to a number of human rights groups who are tracking this sort of stuff, and sits certainly fair to say the numbers are in the hundreds. and that's the case in this piece where there are ordinary civilians in an area occupied by the russian. the russians decide they're spies or collaborators and whatever it may be and forcibly take them and detain them in russia. then you have the secondary issue, which is an even bigger one of people living in areas occupied by the russians forcibly removed or frsably evacuated ostensibly for their security into russia. that also, by the way, according to human rights groups, is a war crime and those numbers are much

clarissa sarr the farsi there. what does iran get out of supplying drones that are killing ukrainian civilians? >> well, i think there's a couple things. there's a picture in terms of their relationship with russia, that relationship goes back years. if you're looking at the countries around the world that have consistently and you're looking at the iran, starting with the revolution in 1979, that have consistently said, we want to oppose american intervention overseas, it's russia, it's iran, it's syria, other countries like north career ya, so, to me, there's a strategic relationship here that goes well beyond unicrane. there's a smaller piece, john, and if you look at what iran has done to america in the middle east, helping groups in iraq during the american intervention in iraq, obviously helping bashar al assad in syria. if -- we don't want the americans here, and we will support those who are fighting the americans. pretty basic, i think, john. >> and in the face of this, susan, ukraine says it wants more we

clarissa ward is live for us in kyiv this morning. clarissa, how severe is the damage in the capital city and how are residents holding up? >> reporter: well, john, basically kyiv's player is now asking people to try to conserve electricity and also water on the back of a number of attacks that took place earlier this morning. these were rocket attacks. we know according to the mayor at least two critical infrastructure facilities have been damaged, and it appears that one was particularly seriously damaged. it's being described as an energy supply facility, but from what we understand it's basically like an energy plant that creates power but also is an important factor in creating heat for people's homes which obviously is not a crucial thing at the moment, but certainly will be as the winter sets in and as the months get colder. we're hearing that two people were killed as a result of this morning's attacks. not using drones this morning as were used yesterday, but the overall focus for the russians seems to be very similar to what

that's where cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward is tonight.on the plight of civilians in both cities. >> reporter: by now, it has become a familiar routine in mykolaiv. in the relative calm of daylight hours, residents comb through the wreckage of the night before. on this day, it's an apartment building on the outskirts of town. two russian s-300 missiles hit at 1:00 in the morning. so this here is where the first strike hit, and then you can see the second one just smashed into the top of that building. five people were injured, but miraculously, no one was killed. in one apartment, andrei is busy cleaning up. he tells us this is what the russians do. they shoot not at military objects but where people live, he says. the fact is the anger towards them is rising, and it won't go away, not in a month, not in a year, not even ten years. in this southern port city, people have become used to hardship. since april, there has been no fresh water here. the main pumping station was hit in a russian strike. now they gather every day and patiently wai

clarissa ward, appreciate you being there.nk you so much for your reporting. >> let's bring in cnn military analyst and retired major general james spider marks for more analysis. first of all, not that russia has any rules of engagement, but what is the purpose of targeting civilian infrastructure? >> yeah. this is a battle of wills. as russia desires to continue the fight and the ukrainian ability to resist and try to push the russians back. these attacks have little effect on the tactical engagements that are taking place in different locations in the southeast. what this goes on is really trying to push president zelenskyy into a position where there might be an opportunity for some type of a negotiated settlement. both sides are working to try to achieve a position that will give them an advantage going forward. what we are seeing clearly is they're setting the conditions for what the fight in ukraine and the conditions on the ground in ukraine will look like over the course of the next few years, althoughe zelensky does

let's begin with clarissa ward in kyiv. and clarissa, i want to talk more about the attacks but i want our viewers to look at what you saw firsthand this morning. >> this is quite clearly a residential building. we have already seen one body being removed from here. we also saw another elderly woman being rescued from the rubble. actually from one of the -- the balcony on the neighboring building. we just spoke with the head of the ambulance services who said they don't know for sure but they do believe it is likely there are other people still trapped in the building. earlier on there were reports of voices being heard from under the rubble. >> just once again attacks on civilians. with we learning more about the fate of the people that were trapped there zbl. >> reporter: so we are and it is not good news. ukrainian authorities saying at least four people were killed in that attack that hit that residential building. among the dead, an elderly woman but also a young couple. the wife apparently six months pregnant. emergen

clarissa, what are you seeing? what do we know?> reporter: so, christine, we're here at the sites of one of those four explosions that woke kyiv up this morning. and i think you can see behind me this is an on going rescue effort. this is quite clearly a residential building. we have already seen one body being removed from here. we also saw another elderly woman being rescued from the rubble, actually from the balcony on the neighboring building. we just spoke with the head of the ambulance services who says they don't know for sure but they do believe it's likely that there are other people still trapped inside. earlier on there had been reports of voices being heard from underneath the rubble. but you can just get a sense here, christine, i think if we sort of look around of just how chaotic this scene is. there are dozen and doz ens of paramedics, fire workers, many, many journalists as well who have gathered here and we also just spoke to the mayor of kyiv who said that this was quite clearly an attack on a civilian target. he

cnn's clarissa ward is live in zaporizhzhia with her exclusive reporting.larissa, how did all of this come about and what was it like to see this unfold? >> reporter: good morning, christine. this was really down to the extraordinary efforts of joshua jones's family, of two ukrainian lawmakers, of the office of the presidency here in ukraine who were working around the clock, lobbying international organizations and doing everything they could to try to push russian forces to release joshua jones's body so that it could be returned to his family and yesterday that finally happened. take a look. >> reporter: on the front lines in ukraine he was known to his fellow fighters as tactical jesus on account of his long hair and deep knowledge of the bible. to his mom he was simply joshy. tennessee native joshua jones was just 24 years old when he was killed fighting in eastern ukraine back in august. his passport and ukrainian military i.d. showed up on russian social media channels soon after but his body was never recovered. since then ukrainian lawmakers have w

cnn's chief international correspondent clarissa ward joins me now from central kyiv. what is the latest on this? >> reporter: so, essentially, rosemary, people here woke up to the sound of air-raid sirens followed by two loud explosions. then there were at least another two explosions, and we're right in the center of the city at the location or right next to the location of the impact of one of those blasts. you can probably see behind me there's still a lot of smoke in the air from that explosion. we don't know yet how many people may have been injured or possibly killed in this series of blasts here in the capital. we did speak to the paramedics who were on the scene. they said five ambulances took wounded away from the scene. but, again, we don't know what exactly was hit or how many people may have been injured or killed as a result, but we do know russia has been stepping up its attacks particularly on civilian infrastructure. i think what makes today's attack or attacks i should say so notable is that we are hearing from ukrainian authorities that the weapon of

cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward joins us live from kyiv. clarissa, this death toll is ticking higher and higher. >> reporter: it is, alex. we were down at the scene of one residential building that was hit by one of those kamikaze drones. three people were found dead in the rubble, an elderly woman, also a young couple, including the woman who was just six months pregnant. so truly a tragedy. the residential building very near to several installations that pertain to sort of critical civilian infrastructure. the feeling on the ground here seems to be that that is very much the target of this new wave of attacks, but this is definitely a new and grim chapter in this war. up until last monday, things had been relatively quiet and peaceful in the capital. life here was getting back to normal for the last several months. that all changed last monday with this barrage of deadly missile attacks and to today now with this spate of kamikazi drones. we have seen these shahed drones used in several places around the country in the last month, but thi

what do we expect to hear from them, clarissa? >> reporter: the rumor mill is going wild right now in moscow, john. a lot of speculation as to what might be announced. it's not unusual, obviously the security council meets on a weekly basis. but what's interesting or a little bit unusual is that they asked the federation council that met earlier today to come back again or hang around until after the security council meeting. that could be an indication that the federation council would be asked to ratify or kind of pass any motion or proposal that the security council comes up with. speculation is that potentially it could be a declaration of marshall law. it could be a declaration of further mobilization. but i want to caution people that we really don't know anything until we know exactly what will be said in that meeting. because we've seen this before where there's anticipation there's going to be big news, a big announcement, and then one isn't actually forthcoming. but i think it speaks more broadly to the mood in russia th

you saw that report from clarissa. she's on the ground in kyiv. russia killing ukrainian civilians, aiming to knock out heat, electricity, water. is putin's goal simply to make this winter as miserable as possible for ukrainians? >> it certainly appear that's one of his goals, wolf. he obviously is targeting civilian infrastructure and the attacks in the last couple of weeks have been at the energy sector to try to knock out the power and he's been somewhat successful in that regard. i think it's twofold. i think it's one truly to impact civilian infrastructure in ukraine and make it harder for them to subsist. certainly for the armed forces to communicate and move around and support themselves, but i think it's an effort to terrorize the ukrainian people. to make them people. to push them to capitulate. from clarissa's report, you can see they're in no mood to do so. >> ukraine says it needs smaller, more mobile air defense systems to counter russia's attacks with these iranian made drones. what can we expect from the next military u.s. aid packa

it's gonna be better indeed, anderson. >> clarissa ward, be careful, thank.we mention about the use of dirty bombs, russians claims without evidence, ukraine was prepared to use what they is essentially a device that contains explosives, with radioactive material. all their concerns tonight, as -- to escalate the war perhaps to such a bomb themselves. -- >> how concerned is the united states and nato of about the dirty bomb allegations? >> it's deeply concerning. you can pick up the tone and tenor from the readout the pentagon game after secretary austin's call with the russian counterparts. it certainly, we know these are false allegations. there is no such dirty bomb planned by the ukrainians. that's false. but the russians would raise it, at their request, they initiated that phone call. it gives us cause for concern. i will tell you, we'll watch this as close louisiana clued in today i'm just not seeing any kind of preparation moving in that regard right now. >> what sort of preparations, i don't if you can say, i will kind of preparations would onesie, o

clarissa, what are you learning about the bodies found?ok the city back just weeks ago. it really paints a very grim picture and one we've seen in other parts of the country, too, unfortunately. according to ukrainian authorities, as you mentioned, 146 bodies found in this mass grave, but 111 of them are reportedly the bodies of civil yabs. according to this report, some of those civilians were killed by shrapnel or shelling. some of them also died from natural causes, and others, and they don't get into details, they say, died, quote, a violent death. a cnn team was on the ground shortly after the city was taken back by ukrainian forces. they describe seeing a number of bodies in that grave that had their hands tied behind their backs, bound, if you will. again, this is something that has become an all-too familiar pattern of sort of brutality, mass graves in these areas that are held by russian forces for protracted periods of time, wolf. >> on top of all that, ukrainian officials are warning tonight that russia may actually blow up a hu

let's begin with clarissa ward live in kyiv. i know you spoke with the mayor this morning. what is the latest on the ground there and what did he tell you? >> reporter: so, bianna, the death toll here in the capital has now risen to at least four people dead. 19 were successfully rescued from a residential building that was hit. we visited the scene of that building earlier. we spoke to the mayor. he said it is quite clear that russia is targeting civilians and also crucially civilian infrastructure. heating, electricity, power, these all being very much the focus of russia's attacks as ukraine braces itself for a chilly winter that will be expected to come soon. now, we don't know exactly how many people were injured in those attacks. we do know that there were many more drones fired at the city than actually struck, though. according to ukrainian authorities, at least 15 were intercepted on their way into the city. and now you're hearing once again from the ukrainian leaders, basically a full throated appeal to the international community to provide better, more sophistic

cla clarissa ward is joining us from zaporizhzhia.he rest of your team witnessed this transfer. how did it all come together? >> so this was something that a lot of people worked very hard for a very long time to make happen, woclf. joshua jones was killed during fighting in eastern ukraine in august, but it was only today that finally his remains were recovered and brought to the ukrainian territory and will now go on the be finally returned to his family in his hometown of memphis, tennessee. two ukrainian lawmakers basically along with his family were lobbying various international organizations around the clock and these ukrainian lawmakers along with the office of the presidency here in ukraine were talking to the russian side as well and trying to come up with some kind of an agreement that both sides would feel was favorable and so we drove out to no man's land on the front line in zaporizhzhia. there was a two hour cease fire agreed. it was very eerie. this is not a place you could ever walk around during normal time because t

what have you seen, clarissa? >> reporter: it was a horrific scene and we were quickly moved on from there because there were continuing alerts about possible oncoming missiles. essentially it was a residential building. we saw one elderly lady who was rescued during our time on the ground there. one body of a resident of that building. but authorities saying three people were killed, two of them killed were a couple, a young couple. the woman according to ukrainian authorities was six months pregnant. this is the new normal where residents of kyiv find themselves in. they are waking up in the morning to the distinctive sound, as you can see in the social media video, of these drones, these kamikaze drones that have been wreaking havoc across the country for almost a month now but still a relatively new phenomenon here in the capital. we were able to speak on the scene to the mayor of kyiv. he said that, you know, while russians don't care at all about killing civilians and while they appear to be actively trying

clarissa is joining us from ukraine. clarissa what's the latest? we are in one of the ten regions where missiles have struck. first thing monday morning this country ukraine wakes up to the air raid sirens and the sounds of missiles coming in targeting lessen infrastructure, now in this case the vast majority of those missiles were intercepted. the ukranian air force is saying something like 40 of the more than 50 missiles that targeted ukraine why intercepted but nonetheless a number did sometime find their target that left hundreds of thousands of people in kiev without power hundreds of thousands in zaparaidjia the hospital was using emergency power to operate. people in kiev were without water, people being told to stock up on water so this is rapidly becoming a serious problem wolf. they've been dealing with this but there's no sense this is going away and tonight you can see behind me pitch black. there have been regular blackouts the government urging people to conserve electricity. >> wolf: based on what you're seeing over there how much lo

let's pick up so we saw, right, there's clarissa in mykolalv. and forth. we're hearing from russia ukraine is going to use a dirty bomb, ukraine pushes back. you have the commander of ground forces in ukraine saying the issue is that we are and should be worried about putin using nuclear weapons. officials on both sides are going to put things out because they want to craft a narrative. what to you when you hear all of those statements, what do you is the real story there? >> well, when you combine this, er erica, to what is happening on the battlefield, you kind of put together the narrative that russia is scrambling right now. they have opened up communications again, they have not done that with secretary austin, he is the only one that russia has been talking to over the last several months, the last time that general milley talked to the leader of the russian military was months ago. so they're trying to establish as you just said that narrative, but then you combine that with what is happening on the battlefield and, you know, truthfully t

clarissa, what can you tell us?> reporter: well, brianna, people here woke up again to the sound of air raid sirens and then a series of rockets thayn fl that inflicted critical damage. the russians really focusing in on the civilian infrastructure. here in kyiv, it was basically a power plant, an energy supply plant is the language na the ukrainians are using. that was most seriously struck. at least two people were killed. and that's why you're seeing these power outages that have been particularly pronounced on the sort of left bank as it is called of the city of kyiv. the mayor says they are working really hard to get those, you know, facilities and that power and that water pressure back up and running. but as you mentioned, they have been asking people to try to conserve where they possibly can. but this is definitely it feels like something of a new chapter, i would say, in this war. we heard in a tweet from the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy earlier that more than 30% now of ukraine's energy infrast
