they were putting explosives under dead people, she says. my children have been under the rubble for 36 days but we weren't allowed to go in and remove the bodies. now russia denies accusations like this but as the battle moves east, russia is reshuffling its battlefield command and put in a place a man who is accused of atrocities in syria and calling in air strikes on civilian homes, on hospitals, and carrying out this scorched earth policy that russia has become so known for. >> molly, thanks so much carryi scorched either policy. >> the question is whether president biden will make a similar trip to stand with president zelenskyy. kelly o'donnell has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, willie. as close as the u.s.-british special relationship is, do not

6:08 am
all of the well-documented atrocities the russians have committed, just what we've seen in the last week, let alone what we're seeing seems like every day, i don't know what exit ramp exists, this idea of peace talks seems more far-fetched than ever so, again, does u.s. policy shift into a mode that is about doing whatever it takes for ukraine to win this war? again, i think maybe that starts with what kinds of weapons we send over. maybe it means we'll send over fighter jets but also you have to ask this question if we see more of these atrocities, willie, do we still stay on the sidelines? >> it's putting more pressure. >> that's a hard thing you know never again means a lot to a lot of people and to watch this is very difficult >> yeah, when you're watching children killed at a train station as they try to escape the eastern part of the country, it certainly ratchets up the pressure chuck, another busy morning for you. thanks so much we will look for more on "meet

to vladimir putin's will. those atrocities are having the opposite effect. president zelenskyy said this is an evil that has no limits. it hardens ukrainians against what putin seeks from the country that freed itself from the soviet union more than three decades ago. gabe gutierrez has our sunday focus from kyiv. >> reporter: day after day, hour after hour under attack. this man had lived in this apartment all his life. this was his children's room. he and his family evacuated think there's any chance for any sort of agreement? no, he say, my children hate everything russian, as he speaks

to us in russian. ukraine was once part of the soviet union. its history unavoidably intertwined with russia. now they're bitter enemies and anger and betrayal cut deep. this is our country, our land, nicola says. a face-to-face meeting between president zelenskyy and putin seems increasingly unlikely, at least for now. one of the negotiation's biggest sticking points, what to do about the donbas territory. this 72-year-old grew up in donbas. >> would you give up part of ukraine in order to achieve peace? no, she says, i'm not ready to give anything up.
6:20 am
this is our country. many are praying for peace but the devil is in the details. only 1% agreed to accept peace. this church was a refuge for hundreds when the bombing started. it was chaos. the horrors here make even this man of peace seem conflicted. >> people who want to make peace, they try to do some step. russian soldiers and russian federations, they destroyed our cities, they destroyed our country. >> i asked him whether he'd agreed to carve out the donbas region for russia in exchange for a cease-fire. here he chooses his words carefully in his native language. can a person give up their hand,

their arm for peace, he says? they are the questions that will be repeated across this war-torn country. what is the price of peace? how much is defiance worth? can the cost of justice be justified. with every atrocity, the theater bombing, the or the train massacre, this is a country growing farther from peace. >> and gabe joins me live from kyiv. ukraine obviously has no reason to trust russia in any peace negotiation, as you say. so is there really hope for meaningful talks to end this war? >> it appears unlikely but there is a sliver of hope. in a new interview with the associated press, president zelenskyy says it's hard, he will not walk away from a
6:22 am
diplomatic situation. what to do about crimea? the ukrainians want to put off a decision on that for 15 years and another hurdle is that ukraine has insisted any peace agreement would require a referendum in this country, only when russian forces retreat entirely and that seems a long way off, willie. >> it sure does. thank you so much. coming up next here, a new sunday sitdown with mark wahlberg about his latest film "and oak owes in his own life story in a true story of redemption. and a woman who survived the holocaust, married one of the soldiers who liberated her and went on to eastern the medal of freedom. and it's baseball's opening day. in denver, the homestanding

good morning. thank you for joining us on this sunday, april 10th. i'm kira klapper. a five-alarm five at a busy home depot in san jose sent employees and customers running to escape the flames. we have video of what it looked like from our sky ranger as the enormous fire tore through the garden center of the home depot on blossom hill road. when fire crews responded their top priority was getting everyone out safely, and they did. a thick, black plume of smoke could be seen for more than 20 miles, as 100 firefighters

6:36 am
movie -- >> i know, i'm sorry. >> i held everything in. >> what was that like for you? >> it's a lot easier to tell somebody else to celebrate a loss than to do it. it was hard to be there and watch her deteriorate. she always, always remained really positive and really encouraged us to be happy. >> even for a performance already drawing critical acclaim, wahlberg finds a tough crowd at home in the four children he shares with wife reya. >> what did your wife and family try to show them. my daughter looked at me and said, "dad, this has got to be the most boring movie i've ever seen." she's 12. i let it slide. my wife, when we watched it the
