cnn this morning starts right now good morning, everyone. i'm john berman with audie cornish in new york. it's good to be here. it's been a minute for me >> poppy and phil or off this morning, a key ukrainian town falling to the russians, ukraine's army desperately low on supplies with congress fighting over for that new aid bill, the kremlin claims he went for a walk, fell ill and collapse, but this morning, the family of alexei navalny say they can't even get access to his body for live in moscow from the fallout from navalny's death and donald trump outraged after being ordered to pay $355 million in his civil fraud trial, the former president's next move, $400 hightops. cnn this morning starts right now

>> all right, ukraine has suffered a major setback. for the house is on vacation with no path forward on passing desperately needed aid. video shows russian forces raising a flag in the city of abdivka after ukrainian troops withdrew. president biden is blaming congressional inaction for the withdrawal in warning that more ukrainian towns could fall to the russian soon, ukraine's army is under serious pressure on multiple fronts as russia is on the attack, and there is word of a huge russian troop buildup in the south. >> the death of alexei navalny in a russian prison is putting renewed pressure on congress to add new this morning, we're told navalny's mother and lawyers it's tried to get into the morgue or his body's allegedly being held, but they were denied access. we have team coverage this morning and we're going to start with nick paton walsh near the southern ukrainian city of mykolaiv. and nic, could you just start by

talking about how significant this gain is for russia in this ongoing battle and what crane strategy is now >> yeah, to compete, go has been the source of key fighting over past month. russia again, throwing everything it really could at a town of moderate strategic importance. but on saturday, ukraine admitted that it was going to withdrawal its troops, essentially not wanting to sacrifice many more lives and the defense of a city, it believed it would eventually probably have to hand over to the russians zelenskyy in munich at the weekend, ukraine's president suggesting that they'd been seven dead russians for every dead ukraine, not fight there, but still all the same. they had to pull back and it's now leaving a real sense of concern here amongst ukrainians about where may fall next, they've been somehow harrowing stories emerging on social media in ukraine here, many talking about it, about some of the ukrainian wounded that were left behind to appear to have been killed by the russians as they advance some harrowing

final messages from them, it was impossible. it seemed to evacuate them, but avdiivka had been held by ukraine since 2014 seeing when russia first invaded close to occupied areas that certainly and i think there's a fear here, as you suggested, that other towns may follow, vice president kamala harris talked about political gamesmanship in munich. well here it's sort of game. it's a stark reality and we are seeing near where the southern counter offensive had minimal gains in the summer around the town of a boat in a talk of severe russian pressure, they're potentially in the northeast near kharkiv, a town called kupiansk and potentially around bakhmut and to the south of avdiivka as well, russia building up ukraine, feeling weak and a real sense, i think that this aid with a two weeks we have now before congress evening's to talk about it again, that aid is now not here. and the effect is palpable back to you. >> such a dangerous, precarious situation. nick paton, walsh. thank you so much for being there. >> now, protests and arrests across russia following the death of alexei navalny, hundreds of mourners showing up

at makeshift memorials and hundreds taken into custody for protesting the dissidence steph, russian state media is downplaying the story with the kremlin insisting that navalny fell ill after taking a walk, then collapsed and died. there's still no word on the whereabouts of his body seen as matthew chance is live in moscow this morning. matthew, what is the reaction been in russia since friday? >> well, i mean, it's been a shock to reaction. everybody knew who alexey navalny was as the country's most prominent opposition leader. and everybody is shocked, if not surprised, that he met this untimely death in his penal colony in the far north of the country. you joining me now in the middle of moscow, right outside the fsb headquarters where you can see people are still coming in. there's a lady just done that nan, so more people over here, they're coming to pay their respects to offer sympathy and condolences to the family and friends and

the organization of alexey navalny these are all the flowers that have been put down so just go ahead pajamas than which austin and as i say, this is a monument to the victims of repression during the soviet period. and so it's interesting that this is the place where people have chosen to come and pay their respects to alexey navalny. there's a photograph of him here. somebody has laid that people are putting traditional red rose this is children's picture over here saying on the tombstone, there alexei navalny, good roi, which means hero. and that's how, of course many people in this country see him as just the act john of putting that flower on this memorial is risky in a country like russia because all kinds of dissent all kinds of political opposition has been crushed by the kremlin. and even though people are doing this now it's not large numbers. but as i said, he steady flows, you can say shows just how angry and how how much

people are sort of braving that repression to come out and put these flowers on this money. remember, across the country, hundreds of people have been dragged from these snowy parks in towns and cities across russia and taken away and detained for doing exactly this. so it is a huge risks that people are taking. this is a whole line of people coming in. a huge risks that people are taking to come out and pay their respects to alexei navalny, russia's most prominent opposition figure, john matthew chance live for us in moscow. thank you. good that look at that line of people and still coming even though the cameras are there to pay their respects courageous people with us now, retired us army major mike lyons and russian-born writer and journalist and filmmaker mikhail zygar, author of war and punishment, putin zelenskyy in the the path to russia's invasion of ukraine, the cale i just want to start with you because you have an essay that you just publish on alexey navalny and you said he won't be the president of future russia. he'll have to

be the founding father of the future russia. he is with us now forever as a perfect example, as a messiah, as a superhero for many and relations on whose story children will grow up. so you write that he is somehow martyred. how do you know that this death will lead to something in that alexey navalny didn't die in vain we >> we can't know anything. we can hope we >> for many >> years, we had hoped that alexei navalny was doomed to be crushers future. george washington. and now we, a lot of people do that a lot of people compare him to some kind of brushes. martin luther king. >> so yes, >> we hope that his example as he was probably one of the few politicians in russia who obviously building in democratic values and never use

opportunity to describe the future russia as democratic country, not an empire, not a dictatorship, but country that would respect human rights and and democracy. so, yes, i think that, that kind of values that we're always expressed by alexei is very important. and even more important is the fact that today his wife announced that she's going to act and she's going to continue his political fight. she has always been trying to keep low profile and to remain neutral. now she she's becoming the politician like kherson aquino, philippines of last century yeah, that's that's fair picture. >> nicquel, they were already a lot of protests in russia, or at least sort of we were observing this criticism of russia's handling of the war in ukraine. now that russia

seems to be on its forward foot, and we'll bring in major lyons on this as well. does this undermine again, another their avenue of opposition >> we have never really had proper position as it should be, there was no any kind of political protests political process at all. and alexei navalny for years has been the only politician and yes, it's, it's important that someone is leading the protest because all most active protesters are now in exile although it's important that the presidential action is going to help the next month in march there are, only, up at candidates, but alexey navalny announced that his strategy is to vote for any candidate except for vladimir putin, which means that even the puppet candidate could be

potentially dangerous for vladimir putin. so that, that could be a test for the opposition to we'll get mobilized >> yeah. the wife of alexei navalny yulia navalnaya is speaking right now. she has been in europe meeting with leaders there and she is saying sending defiant messages. she's saying that she will continue the work of alexei navalny, continue to fight for our country. she says putin killed half of me, half of my heart and half of my soul. but the other half of me remains in it tells me that i don't have the right to surrender, don't be silent. resist. >> take to the streets no one except ourselves will protect us. she says in a video, share with me in rage so powerful words there we will have to see the effect that it has on the ground in russia. in the meantime, major lyons, look it really doesn't seem like this is happening in a vacuum. the death of alexey navalny inside russia and the russian gains on

the battlefield in ukraine, avdiivka falling now to the russians, you and i spent a lot of time in front of a map. there what is the situation? do you think on the ground in ukraine? and what does the fall of abdivka spell for the future? >> so i'm not think russia started to win just yet. i think it's a setback. no question for ukraine and the fact that they've had to watch there ammunition and they've had some setbacks is no question that but it took russia almost four months almost 40,000 troops to get 30 square kilometers is not what you'd call a military success. or so, does this in, in terms of they have to show some kind of success on the battlefield for their troops and for their back home people. and everything goes there. so i just don't believe that ukraine's done yet. i don't think this is going to be the tipping point. let's go into start to the ukraine military to be losing these battles. now, surely they're going to have to consolidate forces to the northeast as we saw. and then in the south, robotine and those places like there. but at the end of the day ukraine

military makes more with less than i continue to do that. we saw denmark is now going to give artillery rounds to ukraine i believe that when the next few months, if they can hold off to that aid package will come and there'll be back to the normal defensive lines that they've been using it before. >> you said hold off. but obviously there's many question marks here with the us congress. what are your concerns? >> are very concerned. i think that they likely have anywhere from 220, 280 days. i'd be three to six months in order to hold off russian capability that become what they have, what they have now, i mean, that becomes the point where they then threaten kyiv. they threaten these places to the north, given the industrial capability, the russian has given the reinforcements that they've made air defense and artillery are the key right now if they can get both of those weapon systems into the theater, ukraine when military can hold off, it's good time for congress to take two weeks off, right? the house off for the next two weeks when every day every house must be nice. yeah. >> all right. major mike lyons and mikhail zygar. thank you both very much. so donald trump

special assistant to president george w bush. scott jennings, i'm christina, where i come from $400 million is a lot of money and i keep the last two days i've sat here this weekend. you get all these takes about oh, is it good for donald trump? is it bad for donald trump? >> it's a lot of money. >> you're just say with your calculator. >> so you have a mommy. i mean, does how does that do you think impact him? >> as a professor? i'm going to say 400 a lot of money as well. >> there are few things his supporters, it means nothing to them all it does is feed the narrative that donald trump is fed them, which is he's being attacked by the legal system by tish james, the new york attorney general, by joe biden, the entire democratic party. his supporters are unmoved. they are unbothered and anything that donald trump says they follow along now for the rest of the country, which probably i would say 50 to 60%, they're looking at this and think this is a lot of money. a does he have it? be really ever pay it back and see going into the presidency if he is the republican nominee, which he is

not just yet and if he does somehow, when reelection, what happens then because don't forget, this is just one of the many court cases that donald trump is facing. we haven't talked about atlanta, we haven't talked about washington, dc. he still has other cases in new york >> and so >> it's an embarrassment for i would think the democratic process, the small d democratic process that we have a republican candidate that has gotten this far, who all new yorkers know, he's a grifter. he lies, he cheats, he steals. this has been his mo and operating business in new york for a very long time. he's finally going to have to pay the piper. the question is, will he actually do it? but i don't think that any of this matters too. israel supporters. >> i want to ask about how the party is kind of coalescing around him, senator south carolina, senator tim scott said that this ruling reveals that the us has a two tiered justice system, but also it won't affect, as you said, how regular american seen trump,

scott jennings i want to listen senator tim gotten that come to you >> the american people are more focused on their future than donald trump's pass with. they're more focused on is making sure that our southern border is secured. we're looking at almost 10 million illegal crossings by the election, the american people are asking the questions about legal challenges. the american people are asking questions about economic challenges scarred by now you're familiar with what i would call the trump pivot sort of usc a lawmaker, if that's something that's happened and then they pivot to something else. usually the border. how do you think this answer is going to play over and over again over the next couple months. >> well, i think tim scott gave a pretty authentic view of what a republican would say. he just pulled one off the street and ask them, they do think by the way, these new york cases, not just the one you're discussing with the big judgment, but everything he's got going on in new york is politically motivated. they think donald

trump can't get a fair shake there i think these people are, are absolutely trying to damage him as he leads joe biden in the race for the presidency. so all that you've heard, all that's been said, i actually don't agree with our other panelists. they're not they're not unmoved. his base. there outraged by what they see going on in new york. and i would say they're even more motivated than they were before, but i i think you're going to see a lot of republican senators and congressmen continue to say exactly what tim scott said, which is they focus on all these things because they don't want to focus on the failures of this administration. i think it's i think it's actually a pretty good political argument for a lot of folks and you're going to hear it. a tim scott gave it pretty authentically and you're going to hear more and more as we go on through this camp thank jamal. >> today is president say, i'm old enough to remember when this used to be george washington had a birthday. they've celebrated and then abraham lincoln had a birthday that we save, celebrated. washington was the father of the country he chose not to run again because he wanted to make sure we had a peaceful transfer

of power, a blinken kept the country do together in a missile. the civil war. and now we have donald trump, who wants to leave the country again. and in fact, it's fomenting violence at the capitol that we saw in january 6. and it's trying to take the office back with some declaring a he'll be a dictator for a day. i can't think of anybody who is more contrary into the traditions of the american presidents that we hold pulled in honor than donald trump. and these court cases that $355 million judgment not only was the dollar amount, it also said that he couldn't run a business in new york city in new york state. but three years. so he can't run a business, but people are in the republican party are thinking about letting him run the country it just seems like we have got to grow that will hold of this. he's not a serious person, is a really serious time and we need a serious president, west serious sneakers. >> i want i we want to challenge you on that because at sneaker con affiliate, shout out to philly trump actually launched a high top was it over the weekend? yes, it's couple of days.

>> and it seems like they've been around forever because doggy about them so much 399 bucks a pop. my thesis on this. hear me out, is that this is a kind of place where you go to maybe a nod to the trump curious young male voter which maybe a problem for biden. >> it could be a problem for biden in the broader sense of him. >> i can brown specifically, like this, it was crazy for him to be there, but also, i was like, well, maybe not so crazy. >> yeah. you gotta there's a guy on instagram, they implies as a rapper who goes after the sneakers pretty hard over the weekend. i don't think anybody but also you know, i remember i interviewed wall-e, the artists few years ago for digital show that i did. and he just summed it up perfectly. he's like it's a finesse. the whole trump thing. it's a con, right? and so the people who are actually familiar with the world know that the entire trump enterprises of khan. and now we're seeing it on the age where he's trying to hock sneakers, right? he's supposed

to be trying to figure out how do we solve the war in ukraine and what do we do about homelessness and even the border which is on his politics, right? instead, he's hawking sneakers, but not everybody there thought that i think we heard from one supporter who appreciated him being there there were very strange clips that came out of this no shade to her, but there was booing at one point, there was cheering at one point. scott, what do you make of this way to spend time for the trump campaign? >> yeah, living the jamal talk about what donald trump should be worried about. i'm reminded of joe biden's video that he put out on the super bowl planning about the number of snack chips and a bag. i mean, you want to talk about small balling. the presidency asked the guy, who's currently in office right now, who is spending time on crazy things

in my opinion, look, people get a i said when trump tries to break into these pop culture issues, i don't know why. i mean, if you're running for president and you're trying to get a few votes here and a few votes there and you're trying to break into non-traditional constituencies. i guess that's what offends people about it. i'm not buying any issues. the only shoes on buying around here are for the for kids that i got shoes on every morning before we go to school, but there's people who loved this stuff. they obviously identified a marketplace that might be receptive to it. and i according to what i read this morning, he sold them all so i don't really this doesn't bother me, but obviously a bothersome next step is trump hush puppies for the kids, for scott >> that's so specific. and i will say we will not be long. josh hawley and jd vance are going to be wearing these trucks, run a senate way. i can picture josh hawley letters. does >> cognitive behind this >> is this the post easy adidas called the january >> doesn't know at least how to make a shoe. so i would say no guys stay with us for a

heavy rain, and even more flooding more than 37 million people. that's nearly the entire population of california are facing flood threats in a region that's already waterlogged from the previous storm meteorologist derek van dam is tracking all of it for us and derek, it sounds like a lot of rain, but just how much rain? >> yes. so waterlogged that we're running above eight inches above in los angeles for the month of february, nearly five inches for santa barbara, nearly two-and-a-half inches for san diego. so more rain on top of it, on top of this very saturated environment, could obviously spell some trouble. so this is a very telling satellite imagery loop. you can see the low pressure just spinning off the west coast. what's interesting is that it's driving in this moisture from the pacific ocean right into the state. and it's ringing out these rain bands as it runs parallel to some of the mountain ranges in ventura and santa barbara county. that's where we have some of our heaviest rain, lighter showers for los angeles plus, but here's the 37 million americans under some sort of

poisoning attempt in was jailed multiple times most recently, serving in 19 year prison term for his vocal opposition to putin. back with a snack. christina greer, jamal simmons, and scott jennings if forget what trump posted on social media, i think what matters here is what trump has been saying about russia and vladimir putin over the last several weeks, including suggesting that putin should do whatever the hell he wants. to nato countries, then you have tucker carlson literally going for a joint media appearance with vladimir putin in russia. >> in my lifetime i don't remember such a large contrast when it comes to a major issue of foreign policy where there's just this division where we're, there are people who think that vladimir putin is a threat worth standing up to. and there are people who don't write, well, we have to remember everything with donald trump every accusation is actually a confession. so whenever he's accusing people of things, it's because he's either doing it or is it himself. >> what's really >> concerning is that we have to remember jamal khashoggi. and when donald trump was in

the presidency and when he was murdered and he was like, was he really american? i mean, he didn't stand up for an american journalist then, and so we shouldn't be surprised that donald trump is essentially ten toes them with putin. he always has been now, usually democrats and republicans are pretty much in lockstep relatively speaking, when it comes to international relations, we're now seeing a massive break even within the republican party, when nikki haley says, no, where is my opponents opinion on this? because he's been unusually quiet since usually post and i can't say tweets anymore because he's banned, but he posts about his opinions constantly and we know that he's supportive of putin, even though putin has just said that he would prefer a bite the presidency, we know that that's actually not the case because donald trump abdicated to vladimir putin consistently during his four years. i think what's really concerning is if donald trump is re-elected, he's already said he would might be a dictator for a day. but we know that he'd like to be a dictator for much more than that because he sees what putin can get away with having

tucker carlson in his pocket hi, good. who's has a pretty large swath of the republican support. as far as a media personality is, is concerning because slung would surely, he'll chip away at public opinion and help them think about our international relations and really dangerous ways. >> what dictator ever calls it quits after a day, right? i had enough. we can kubrick but john, when i think when we first met, i was working on wesley clark campaign. it was mined for president new hampshire. this is now 20 years ago. it doesn't for are we have to date ourselves here a little bit. but as a democrat, we spent, i spent my entire political career trying to navigate around the republican advantage on national security that ronald reagan built in the night teen '80s, right? and democrats were constantly trying to figure out how to work this out in the 2004 campaign was the was the big kahuna of that we ran for some spicy clark of john kerry, who became the nominee because he had this military service now, you're seeing republicans take this national security

advantage, this kansas contest against russia, that's existed for decades but they've owned as a political party and just wrap it up in handed away and not just donald trump. you see all these united states senators following him down this path that walks away from their advantage on this question of securing america. and i don't know if the american people really want to sign up. for a presidency. >> that is >> about empowering people who have been our opponents for decades. and then not taking care of our friends. it's >> got ukraine, scott, i want to bring you in here because you've worked for mitch mcconnell, who has been supportive of the ukraine bill, for instance, has sort of the posture we recognize about russia in the party. but before that it, liz cheney was speaking over the weekend about what she sees in her former party that's the problem here >> when, you think about donald trump, for example, pledging retribution, what vladimir putin did to navalny is what retribution looks like in a country where the leader is not subject to the rule of law, we

have to take seriously the extent to which you've now got a putin wing of the republican party i believe the issue this election cycle is making sure that putin wing of the republican party does not take over the west wing of the white house. >> scott, who's in the putin wing of the republican party i don't know if i would characterize it that way. i do think she's articulating the very real split between the isolationists and the internationalists. and for a long time we had an isolationist strain in the party. it was not the dominant strain we've had these debates in our party going back for decades. but now the isolation is strain, is ascendant trump obviously leans towards that strain. you have more and more especially the new class of united states senators who subscribe to that theory that the world would be better if we were withdrawn. and obviously, we're having a huge disagreement in the republican party about this right now. and i think we need more clarity, more moral clarity is i find

myself in the more american the world is good. a wing of the party and i would hope president trump would come to that view, but i have been very troubled by what he said about encouraging russia. i know he would probably say it's negotiating tactic with our nato partners, but you just can't have anything less than moral clarity when it comes to standing up to brutal dictatorial regimes. and that was a bad moment in navalny. i don't know. >> i couldn't i couldn't speak to what his mindset is on whether he thinks it's a good idea to comment on that today. but as it relates to america's position in the world vis-a-vis the russian our enemies in russia you have to know that the next president, united states, is going to stand up to it and i hope he comes around to that view. >> scott jennings, christina greer, and jamal simmons. thanks so much. >> thank you >> now, a quick note. i recently spoke to congressman jim clyburn of south carolina for my podcast, the assignment.
