it is significant with retired army four star general wesley clark. also tonight, even as russia intensifies its attack on the east, we are learning more about the did he agree of atrocities. the national police staying bodies of more than 900 civilians, 900, have been recovered in the kyiv area just in the days since russian forces retreated. in his address to his country tonight, he told ukrainians, and these are his words, maybe you somewhere in russia cruelty is respected. but in ukraine, it is despised and punished. even in places under russian bombardment, that cruelty is being eased by neighbors bravely helping neighbors. last night, clarissa ward brought us a story of an 86-year-old woman named lydia. i want to show you a portion. her report with a warning, it is truly heart-breaking. as you watch it now and as you'll see in a moment, lydia remarkably is safe tonight. >> reporter: volunteer igor spends his days visiting the elderly and disabled. today he is checking in on 86-year-old lydia. petrified and alone, he has yet to find an organizati

let's bring in cnn military analyst wesley clark, retired army general and former nato supreme alliedcommander. so white house naming the new russian commander taking over this mission in ukraine has a history of atrocities, knowing what we know about his past behavior, what do you expect in the weeks ahead? >> i suspect to see massive artillery bombardments, expect a major tankf offensive, civilian murdered, and putin trying to seize of all donbas and call for a cease fire or something to reconstitute forces and finish the job and pamela, so worried we're not going to get the reenforcement the extra equipment that president zelenskyy is asking for. i've been on this issue for weeks, i've talked to people throughout the world on this and there's just fumbling and just bumbling around, all paperwork, we're thinking about, remodulating it, look, i hope the united states of america understands that these ukrainians are fighting our battle for democracy. putin considers us the main enemy. we're, ukraine is like the junior test case if he loses in ukraine, then war is less likely with russ

with us is cnn military analyst, retired general wesley clark who once served as nato supreme allied commander. thank you so much for being here. about that mariupol siege and the people, the babies and children and elderly who are trapped inside, is there anything nato or the u.s. can do to help them survive? >> well, we go in and lead a relief, and book the siege. we put aircraft in, strike forces on the outside, and open it up when we can. we could do that. and the next best thing is to get all the supplies into ukraine so that ukrainians can mount a push. you know, alisyn, when we look at what the russians say and what they do, we realize this is a very cruel and crude psychological game. they want to mo nnopolize the ns media. they want to claim they're humanitarian, and they want to put the pressure on the ukrainian government, the international community, and of course the people inside by raising hopes. and dashing hopes. raising hopes and dashing hopes. it's a game. and they're latching at the way they can manipulate the western world, and our ideas and feelings. >> here's a

army general wesley clark. now a cnn military analyst. also with us our senior white house correspondent phil mattingly. general clark, the u.s. said russian forces have completely withdrawn from the area around kyiv, chernive, but can ukrainians take any comfort in that? >> not really. because they've got to get their land back, yes. but it is a real niinsight, dig out the people who mie be western oriented or create an opposition and take what you need and kill as many as you need to and what happened north of kyiv is they didn't dispose of the bodies well. we have no idea what is happening in mariupol where they've pulled tens of thousands into russia. what is happened to those people or the ones that have disappeared down in mariupol. this is a horrendous war crime. but this is what putin said he was going to do. he wants to eradicate ukraine, and that is what he said. and before the war started, he had listed and how many were on it, of the people he wanted eliminated so i think this is a terrible tragedy unfolding and it's not over

let's bring in cnn military analyst and retired general wesley clark. general, thanks so much for your time today. ukraine is claiming full control of kyiv with its deputy defense minister declaring the region liberated. but do you actually think russian troops are going to regroup for a later attack on the capital city? >> yes. i think -- you know, it's a great tactical success on the part of the ukrainians but this is far from over. they've got to be very, very careful not to raise expectations. what has to happen now is lots more support has to come in to help ukraine, to drive the russians out, to drive them out of the south and to strengthen the ukrainian force in the donbas area. now, what's going to happen is as you can see from the map the russians are north and south of dnipro. it's going to be the next key objective. if they can drive they can cut off in the donbas. in order to prevent that they've got to have heavy fighting quote. not javelins, not stingers. that's fine for helping defend cities. they need tanks. they need mobile artillery. t

and i want to bring in cnn military analyst, general wesley clark.allied commander. some of these russian troops that have left the kyiv area came from the area around kyiv, bucha, where we've now seen with our own eyes the russian forces committed there. the video is incredibly disturbing here. but i think it's so important to really show the reality on the ground. you have bodies, people who have been killed. some of them with hands tied behind their back. we heard president zelenskyy describe torture, women raped and children who were killed. we've seen the videos now of the mass graves where people were just dumped. >> we need to make clear that this is not like a unit that's out of control. this is russian policy. you remember we talked about the list that they had of all the people that were going to be their enemies when they get here. so they got into bucha and started on that list. they pick up cell phones, they look who is connected to who. they arrest them, interrogate them, torture them and finish them. and so we're just lucky that this i

i want to bring in kimberly dozier and our -- also retired general wesley clark, former nato supreme allied commander. general clark, let me start with you. one of the many things that mr. kirby said that was very interesting is that the secretary of defense is personally involved at this point in trying to get the ukrainians some long-range air defense systems, which is the kind of thing that president zelenskyy keeps asking for. >> i think that's really an important point, and i'm so glad to see secretary austin doing this personally because it does take high-level conversations when you are dealing with something as sensitive as long-range air defense for government leaders in eastern european countries to give it up and wait for the patriot to come in. so i know that, you know, we're working as fast as we can to get patriot replacements in there, but anything that secretary austin could do to encourage the slovakians to give it up now before the patriots arrive, that's great. >> and kimberly dozier, the whole notion of the russians putting a general who is known as the butcher of

jon: of general wesley clark is the former nato top commander but he wrote this as part of an op-ed inhe "new york post". he writes ukraine needs heavy weapons in air support, tanks, multiple launch rockets. and self-propelled artillery, air support, makes an aircraft in mobile defense but they need hundreds of thousands of 152 millimeters artillery rounds for the u.s. supplied javelins and singers are necessary but no longer sufficient spread he goes on, why? because there is a window of opportunity now for a week or two perhaps a much ukraine can counterattack on the north, south, and east to expel russian forces. this will require mobile armored forces and airpower. if this window is lost the future is darker and more uncertain. again that firm general wesley clark a man who knows a thing or two about military operations, are they reading that at the white house? >> we have been advocating many of us in a bipartisan for the mix it to be provided to ukraine and the united states a transfer our jets to whichever country has those migs and is willing to do it. poland had offered but th

why do we fight with armored vehicles, as general wesley clark said, a normal war is me drinking coffeeroys all life. this is a normal war. soldiers what's going on they call war and still we call it special effects. uh, so he didn’t talk about us about us instead of the fact that they are shocked by what we do, how we do it and don’t understand, that we do not howl. yes, we are trying to rid ukraine of wickedness, and in their heads is this how they stack it? quite right. they only have one theory. air power bombing mercilessly our soldier drinks coffee in complete safety. this is how they imagine this war. they were waiting on us. and we also withdrew the troops, imagine how it looks in their logic, we moved away from kiev completely defeat is a failure, and the losers of the anglo- sections are always considered below themselves, never with a loser in their logic, no one will sit down at the negotiating table just push harder. the concept of mercy pity is not for them, so what do we need to do? again, we do not like to work on the bugs. remember the ninety-fifth year of the first war

yes, an act of terrorism made a commander wesley clark tried to downplay what they had done. there were actually 6 people who were killed as i recall. i recall certain i retired, feminine know the families. i mean think about it. this wasn't an attack on some tv tower in the middle of nowhere with nobody working there. this was the bombing of the state television headquarters in a heavily populated urban area in serbia's capital belgrade, the killing of innocent people who are working the night shift. if that's not a war crime, what is clearly the goal was to instigate terror because artist resumed this programming less than 24 hours later from a secret location. can you imagine what it was like for the people working there, knowing what had happened to their colleagues knowing they? i'd be next, isn't that the goal of terrorism? this wasn't a one off thing. any people don't know that the state television building in the major, serbian city of novi sad was also hit by nato on may. 3rd 1999. the bombing happened on world press freedom day and that tv building was bombed a whop

mander wesley clark tried to downplay what they had done. there were actually 6 people who were killed as i recall, i recall certain i retired from and i know the families. i mean, think about it. this wasn't an attack on some tv tower, in the middle of nowhere with nobody working there. this was the bombing of the state television headquarters in a heavily populated urban area in serbia's capital belgrade, the killing of innocent people who are working the night shift. if that's not a war crime, what is clearly the goal was to instigate terror because artist resumed this programming less than 24 hours later from a secret location. can you imagine what it was like for the people working there, knowing what had happened for their colleagues knowing vate, i'd be next, isn't that the goal of terrorism? this wasn't a one off thing. any people don't know that the state television building in the major, serbian city of novi sad was also hit by nato on may. 3rd, 1999 with the bombing happened on world press freedom day and that tv building was bomb

here, general clark, not the clark about whom we all thought, not wesley clark, but the current one,ed several secrets of the bolshanel. let's listen. we noticed that the ukrainians are much stronger they showed themselves in battle and we must admit this for the most part. this is a merit of the partnership that has been formed over the years. i don't know if you want to talk about it here, but is there any unclassified information about the benefits of our partnership. our special operations forces worked with other allies to come to ukraine and help strengthen the ukrainian special operations forces. during this time. their numbers have not only doubled, but i would say their capabilities have also our forces have increased with the ukrainian ones on the territory of ukraine since the russian invasion of 2014 . it was key and long lasting not only for the usa and ukrainians, but also for many allies of the fans who were also with us in ukraine and trained ukrainian partners shoulder to shoulder with us. and we also have to give credit for training some of the national guard forces

notions and more give us a lot to talk about with our analysts, former nato supreme commander wesley clarkark. terrible things happen in war on all sides of the conflict. people do terrible things. military that have a respect for law and order and for the rules of engagement do opipunish thei own troops for misbehaving or breaking the law, what do you make of what you have seen of russia's actions on the ground in occupied territories and how does that compare to what an army that obeys the rules of war would engage in. >> russian army applied military force. they attack and defend zp protect. the soviet army is always at a strong political component. enforce the obedience -- the commonist party carried into the military, they came into this opposition root out any potential - they're not just taking the territory, they're going in after the populists to find out who may be related to someone related to the ukrainian military. who may be giving information. they want to carve out anybody potentially was just their ok p ptheir occupation. this is war crime. this is not soldiers misbehaving

right now i want to be speaking with cnn military analyst, retired general wesley clark.ed commander, and also with us, analyst susan glasser. she is a staffwriter for "the new yorker." first i want to listen to what president biden said today, calling russia's atrocities in ukraine genocide. >> yes, i called it genocide, because it's become clearer and clearer that putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of being able to beat ukraine. we can learn more and more about the devastation and we'll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies, but it sure seeseems that way to me. >> notably general france is not going this far. macron will not call it genocide. how significant is it that boobiden is? >> it continues to draw on putin's plans and efforts. he said it's not a ukranian country, wants to change the political system, and places like bucha, they interrogate people. if they find they're associated with the west or afternoon alliance, bang, they eliminate them. this is the evidence of intent, it's not necessary to have killed 10 million people, a

. >>> now i want to bring in retired general wesley clark, the former nato supreme allied commander. general, great to see you. thanks for making time for us today. russia is warning the u.s. there could be unpredictable consequences. what is that implied threat, and what are you reading from that? >> well, of course it's an implied threat. we don't know what it means but it's something you take in stride. russia has invaded a country. it's our legal right under the united nations charter to assist a nation in its self-defense, so russia has no grounds other than bullying and intimidation against the west. in the united states and other european countries and encourage the political systems to reject so much assistance to ukraine, that's all. and if there's some attack on nato, putin knows what would happen there. the russians are fully occupied and unable to mount that offensive in donbas. all the reports i'm getting say it's been very, very tough to pull these units out of the northern part of the country, ship them to the east, find replacement soldiers, and they don't want to fig

let's discuss now, cnn military analyst wesley clark, also former nato supreme allied commander, perfectst to discuss, general, good evening to you, welcome. ukrainians need weapons like artillery for the battle in donbas and need it now, pentagon saying they're training ukrainian soldiers how to use them. how quickly can they be making a difference in this war? >> i think a few days. the artillery in particular is that kind of artillery piece, it's towed artillery, doesn't have to be towed by a u.s. truck, it can be moved. these are sophisticated forces in ukraine, a lot of these soldiers are college-educated, know their own equipment, so learning a type of equipment is a matter of few days just getting the manuals sent, looking at the firing exercise or two and making sure they know how to maintain the equipment. that's not a long process. and getting it in there a couple of days. just got to get it to the right spot as rapidly as possible inside ukraine. ukraine's a big place. >> let's talk about the president's remarks today, president joe biden nodding to the fact that the public do

i want to turn now to cnn's military analyst, retired general wesley clark. he is the former nato supreme allied commander. general, thank you. i appreciate you joining us this evening. one report after another, it just gets worse and worse and worse. the more reporting we get in, the worse it is. ukraine's foreign minister very clear what his country needs from nato. weapons, weapons, and more weapons. saying, again, that sanctions are not enough. can nato get ukraine what it needs and get there it in time? >> that's the big question. we don't know. it's coming from different countries. most of what they need for the battles in the east, the united states doesn't have. they need t-72, t-55 tanks. they need self-propelled artillery. they need anti-air and they need air cover. they need those migs and sukhoi fighter planes. that's what they need. the united states is still supplying them things, stingers and javelins and so forth. but in the open terrain, in the kind of war of movement that's likely to happen on the east and is starting to happen now, this is

first up, a good op-ed in the "new york post" by general wesley clark.makes a good point that this is a crucial moment in the ukraine

ambassador to nato and former nato supreme allied commander wesley clark. welcome to both of you. general, what can be done to get the ukrainians the supplies they need quicker? >> well, for one thing, they're in the hands of our european allies. so, in order to fight the administration with this battle, the ukrainians have got to have tanks. they've got to have mobile artillery. they've got to have maybe 100,000 artillery rounds. this is big stuff. not coming from the united states. got to come from poland, bulgaria, so forth. i'm told the white house has still not cleared our allies to release this. now, i don't know what the issue is. maybe the issue is the allies say, no, no, we can't give this up until you give us m-1 tanks and new self-propelled artillery. or maybe the allies -- maybe we're measuring this in some way saying we don't want to give them too much because we don't want to escalate this so that putin uses a nuclear weapon. but, jake, my view on this is that we've got a window of opportunity here to give the ukrainians exactly what they're asking for. we've got to

. >> earlier we spoke with cnn military analyst general wesley clark. he said the ukrainians should be commended for pushing russians away from the capital, but he did warn this conflict is far from over. here's general clark. >> i think it's this great tactical success on the part of the ukrainians. they've driven the russians back, but this is so far from over. they've got to be very, very careful not to raise expectations. what has to happen now is lots more support has to come in to help ukraine to drive the russians out, to drive them out of the south and to strengthen the ukrainian force in the donbas area. now, what's going to happen is as you can see from the map the russians are north and south of dnipro. it's going to be the next key objective. they'll cut off the ukrainian forces and holding back the separatists in the donbas. >> joining me now from kaefb is a member of ukraine's parliament. she's the leader of the voice party. thank you for taking time to speak with cnn. as we see these russian forces withdraw especially around the capital w

joining us now, cnn military analyst general wesley clark. he's a former nato supreme allied commander. general clark, thanks for being with us, starting with what's happening in mariupol. how is it that russian forces haven't actually captured this city when they have demolished it? >> well, they haven't actually captured it yet. there is still resistance in the steel factory and there will be resistance as long as those men who are there can hold a weapon and fight. because they know what the alternative is. if they surrender, they're going to be shot or tortured or both. so this is a battle to the death for these men in this battalion who are holding on. >> it really does speak to the will and the courage and sacrifice of all the people in that town and the fighters for ukraine. the significance, as you see it, of mariupol, once it all falls, assuming that's where this is headed. >> yeah, it's got a symbolic significance, of course. it will be a big victory for russia. and it will also open a route between southern russia, all the way out
