as russian forces ramp up their attacks in eastern ukraine civilians in affected cities
and villages are attempting to evacuate following another deadly strike on friday correspondent ali
rogan has our report a day after russia struck the kramatorsk train station survivors are
processing what happened seventeen-year-old nastia still bears blood from the attack
i remember a really loud noise and there was something landing shells or rockets
everybody hit the ground that's all a nightmare everything starts to burn everyone was panicking
the strike killed at least 50 people with many more wounded still in the hospital
overnight ukrainian president volodymyr zolensky condemned the strike and demanded
accountability we expect a firm global response to this war crime like the massacre and bucha
like many other russian war crimes the missile strike on kramatorsk must be one of the charges
at the tribunal residents of the kiev suburb of bucha today return to a city scarred by atrocity
we will never be able to forget this what we have seen here these pictures
will be carved into our minds for the rest of our lives
despite the ongoing russian attacks civilians today continued evacuating eastern ukraine
the chromatoris strike is part of a reported regroup of russian troops the ukrainian military
today said moscow's forces are turning their guns to the city of donetsk in the donbass region in
the donetsk direction the enemy continues assault operations and the russian defense ministry claims
its forces destroyed an ammunition depot at a ukrainian airbase but in an effort to show the
capital is holding steady president zielenski met with both british prime minister boris johnson
and austrian chancellor carl niemer in kiev today the last meeting we had was in brussels
again called for more sanctions on russia and said his country was preparing for a tough battle
in the east for more on the situation on the ground in ukraine aly spoke with former
ukrainian prime minister arsene yatsenyuk earlier today mr yatsenyuk thank you so much for joining
us the world has been horrified by the images coming out of bucha and kramatorsk president
zielinski however has said that other cities have suffered even worse atrocities have we not
yet seen the worse of the worst of what russia has done what russia has done is the war crimes
and crimes against humanity and you know europe can't remember more atrocities since the second
world war and since uh the tragedy in srebrenica in former socialist republic in yugoslavia so uh
putin is passionately responsible for this and his so-called military that's not no longer a military
and they are no longer soldiers this is a barbaric army of of just predators inhumane predators
who went after innocent ukrainian people they have to be brought to justice u.s officials have said
recently that they believe the next phase of this conflict could go on for months
or even years do you agree no one knows look um preliminary we had a number of estimations that
russian military is ready to take over ukraine in just from three to five days it didn't happen
russia completely failed to reach its primary target which is to seize a capital of ukraine
and which is actually to take over uh half of ukraine so uh very strong durable and courageous
ukrainian military stopped uh this barbaric russian military so how long it is to happen it
all depends on whether the western world is ready to ship both legal defensive and offensive weapon
to ukrainians and whether the western allies are ready to ramp up sanctions against russia every
single day 24-7 so let me ask you about those allies um in recent days we've seen eu leaders
we've seen leaders from the uk just today boris johnson visiting with president zielenski and kiev
some countries and organizations have also announced they're going to be reinstating
their diplomatic presences in ukraine do you believe the united states should follow suit
look the us is a flagship and i really command the efforts of the president of the united states
and bipartisan support of american people to protect defend and support ukrainians
uh so what putin didn't expect he didn't expect this kind of unity among the western world
he was thinking that uh the western wealth is actually completely split fractioned
and the western world is not ready to stand our ground to stand our ground of our freedoms and uh
values of uh liberal and free world uh so boris johnson he just paid the widget to ukraine this
is not just a show of solidarity this is an act of solidarity and uh let me once again reiterate
that the unity of the western world and very strong support of the united states is one of the
key focal points of strong resilience of ukrainian people and ukrainian army
but do you think the united states is doing enough do you want to see more weapons from the united
states what weapons would be most helpful and again should the united states be next to send
a delegation to kiev well as far as i remember a few days ago house intelligence committee sent
a letter to the president of the united states uh with the comprehensive list of the defensive
and offensive weapon which is needed for the ukrainian military and i strongly believe that
after the us senate passed already a land list act ukraine will get everything that is needed
for ukrainian army to win to win this sacred and righteous war uh so once again the us is doing
what is needed but my appeal to the united states and to the entire western world please
do more and uh please speed up this process the most i would say challenging issue is sanctions
uh the us and uh our european allies have to impose secondary sanctions and uh what we know
for sure is russia trying to evade sanctions to circumvent sanctions uh using different
back doors channel including china so it's important for the free world to press on china
india and in other states not to support russian aggression and to be on the right side
of the history former ukrainian prime minister arseney yatsenyuk thank you so much thank you
