Thank you.
>> Russian military forces have
almost completely left the
region, surrounding the
Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
They are now turning toward
Ukraine's east and a new and
brutal fight to come.
Evidence of possible atrocities
committed by Russian forces
mount throughout newly freed
areas of northern Ukraine.
In Brussels, European union
leaders met to consider a ban on
Russian call.
Our next shipment traveled to
Brussels with blinken.
He begins with a warning.
Some images in this report are
disturbing.
>> The apocalyptic aftermath
remains unaltered.
Residents, survivors walked past
entire city blocks that no
longer exist, clutching water
that amount of horror amid
precious.
Today was the first time in four
weeks they left their basement
shutter.
To past discarded Russian
uniforms, Russian ammunition and
Ukrainian shoulders.
>> This is the first time I have
seen something like this.
I served in the army but
something like this, I can't
understand it.
Why do they need to kill
civilians?
I don't get it.
>> Another resident lost her
closest friend.
And in work, friends try to
provide dignity.
Even if friends and parents will
never understand.
>> His father came and asked
where his son was.
He went to his mother's to bring
some food and disappeared.
What for?
Why have these beasts shot him?
>> Zelenskyy said pressure
should bear an appropriate
punishment.
>> After what the world saw in
butcher, sanctions against
Russia must be commiserate with
the gravity of the war crimes.
>> Antony blinken met with
Australian and European
counterparts.
>> It is good to be back but I
feel like we have never been
back.
As the U.S. Announced more
economic punishment on Russia.
A ban on all new investment in
Russia, additional sanctions on
Russia's private banks block any
transaction with U.S.
Institutions.
And sanctions on president
Putin's oldest two daughters.
With the European polymer today,
leaders discussed blocking
Russian coal imports for the
first time, they targeted
Russia's ended -- Russia's
energy sector.
They predict in more energy
sanctions would follow.
>> Now we have to look into oil
and we don't have to look into
the revenues that Russia gets
from the fossil fuels.
>> Eu leaders have been divided
over an embargo on Russian oil
and gas.
Germany is resisting these
moves.
>> We can't continue feeding the
Russian war machine we are ready
to phase out Russian gas by the
end of the year.
We are also calling on our
partners and allies to do the
same.
Unity is absolutely key.
Unity should not be going down
to the lowest common
denominator.
>> The lowest common denominator
meant nato members decided not
to send arms to Ukraine as an
alliance but sent arms as
individual countries.
>> Nobody is doing anything with
I think the risks are
overstated.
>> A senior defense official
said Russian units had completed
their withdrawal from around
Kyiv.
They expect margins to be
deployed to the east and will be
ready to launch a large
offensive within two weeks.
The goal, capture mariupol.
To prevent that, the U.S.
Announced $100 million more in
military aid for a total of 1.7
billion since the invasion by
Poland and other eastern flank
allies are pushing for more.
Ukraine will need more advanced
weaponry.
They have been provided by
allies with very effective basic
weapons.
Course the U.S. And allies are
also sending more troops to
eastern Europe with the numbers
are still relatively low.
The eastern flank is pushing for
a more permanent presence.
We need to change this into
something people call symbolic
posture into something that is
meaningful.
Quick that might be more likely.
In the meantime, there is demand
for accountability.
>> We need to target those who
are responsible and this is the
leadership.
This is something that we just
can't do as usual.
Otherwise we will send a signal
that this is something you can
conduct and then just be treated
as.
There would be what they would
do, repeat those actions.
>> The U.S. And European
officials are helping Ukraine
collect evidence of Russian war
crimes, account ability is
always difficult.
Especially when the crime scene
remains a battlefield.
>> Do we know what the nato
foreign ministers are expected
to talk about tomorrow?
Quotes one of the many things
there was talk about is the
foreign minister of Ukraine.
They will have many meetings
with his foreign minister
counterparts.
He is expected to call for more.
Also, a ban on Russian trucks.
This demand is that president
zelenskyy repeated this.
He will attend an interesting
meeting.
He will address not only the 30
murmurs of nato but other
non-nato members.
Finland and Sweden.
Those are two northern European
countries that are not in nato
but they are having historic
conversations about whether they
will join nato in the coming
months.
This means new soldiers, more
forces sent to northeast here.
>> Based on your reporting, what
are these officials expected to
be thinking about, talking about
with regards to determining
Russia in the long term?
?
Are more forces being called for
in eastern Europe.
More than just a series of
western forces that can call the
cavalry.
Questions of increased rate
readiness.
How quickly with a be able to
resupply with more forces from
the west?
A lot of need in eastern Europe
that does not exist right now to
deter Russian missiles.
It is one thing for the alliance
to have unity over the first
five weeks or so but as
officials fear this will last
for months, that unity may
