this is don lemon tonight. our breaking news, it is now friday morning in ukraine, a country enduring an unprecedented russian military assault, a massive full scale invasion by land, air, and sea. a senior u.s. defense official saying russian forces have launched more than 160 missiles,

ukraine's president saying at least 137 of its country's soldiers have been killed defending their homeland since the invasion began more than 24 hours ago. cnn is covering this breaking news story from all angles. sam kiley is in kharkiv ukraine and russian expert jill dougherty is in moscow, kaitlan collins is at the white house, and oren liebermann is at the pentagon for us right now. hello to one and all, sam, i'm going to start with you. new video tonight showing explosions in kyiv. let's take a look at it.

>> the ukrainian president zelenskyy is saying 137 soldiers have been killed since the russian invasion began. sam, what's the latest? >> well, i think the most sinister development has to be the statement, the video statement, almost like a hostage video, wasn't it, when president zelenskyy said in an address to the nation released on the internet that he felt that he was the target, number one of potential saboteurs and infill traitors from russia that has that had already arrived from the ukrainian capital and his family were target number two. this as you'll recall, it was the united states who had been pressing him prior to this russian invasion to start thinking about relocating from kyiv because they obviously had an inkling that this would be part of the russian playbook, not least because of course british and american intelligence had been talking prior to those invasions saying

that they had intelligence that would lead them to believe there was going to be an attempt as part of a russian invasion to decapitate the political structures within kyiv, within the capital, within the state, the independent state of ukraine in order to turn it into a vessel state, with the heavy level of bombardment that has been recently seen in kyiv, the pressing of paratroopers down towards and attempting or succeeding in taking over airfields, the lozenge of operations coming in from belarus down into kyiv is actually the greatest distance penetrated of this very widespread campaign from russia into ukraine, here on the other side of the country in kharkiv, for example, we know that there is a substantial number of russian tanks somewhere between where i'm standing and the russian border, which is about 25 miles away. but we also got some information

that the town of sumi may have fallen to a russian assault, but they seem to be forming out this a much more straight line ahead, perhaps trying to wait and see what happens in the campaign in kyiv before really going into phase two here, which of course would be deeply worrying for the civilian population because it would be in phase two where the ukrainian armed forces try to regain the initiative, start to put use to -- put the javelin and the other antitank equipment that they've been sent recently by the united states, united kingdom to use, don. >> it is early morning in lviv, a city in western yuukraine. authorities there have ordered a city wide lights out as a preventative measure. tell us what it has been like there, please. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, here it's been relatively quiet, but people are very aware that things could escalate very quickly. yesterday we heard air raid sirens and just about 15 minutes

ago i heard a volley of shots and red flares in the sky and a distant plane. even though this is supposed to be the safest place in ukraine, people are feeling very nervous here. lights were turned out last night around 11:00, and they asked this as a preventative security measure, everyone -- they announced that everybody should stay at home, stay safe if they can, turn off their lights at home, and lights were turned out. this was, i think, in effect to prevent anyone from becoming an accidental target just in case. it was really preventative security in their words. >> kaitlan collins, talk to me about the white house conversations with zelenskyy on contingency plans if russia takes kyiv. what's the plan here? >> this is something they have been discussing with the ukrainian president for several days now, just this idea of this is preattacked on, prelast night when you saw all this russian invasion happen, but it was something that clearly based on the u.s. intelligence that has

been borne out today, they believed could happen. so u.s. officials had been having conversations with the ukrainian president about a potential contingency plan should he need to leave the capital city and maybe go to lviv, go to a city closer to the polish border where they believed he would be safer. of course they knew what we are seeing today, what secretary blinken confirmed a few hoursing a. they do believe putin wants to go in and take the capital city and overthrow the government and install a pro-russian government, a puppet government. there's no indication that zelenskyy is doing that or he wanted to do that. u.s. officials did have conversations with him about that. we know they had other conversations with him about trav traveling. u.s. officials had talked to him about not leaving. he ended up going to that security conference, meeting with the vice president, making it back, but now of course it is clearly a recall al concern, th video of zelenskyy earlier

tonight, he's been making these videos are the heartfelt pleas to the ukrainian people. this one tonight saying he is target number one and his family is target number two is a very chilling statement. it does reveal the position he is in as he has tried to remain this steadfast leadership in this situation. it just reveals the conversations the white house has had with him, their concerns about what could happen, their major concern that russia could definitely overtake kyiv. >> what's the feeling in lviv tonight? >> reporter: i think there's certainly nervousness but also defiance. you mentioned those appeals by president zelenskyy to the nation. many ukrainians have responded to that. they are encouraged by what they're hearing from the president, and what you're seeing is defiance in many ways. you know there is now this general mobilization, which says that anybody who is able between the ages of 18 to 60 should come up and defend the country. we had already been hearing before that stories of people

coming back to ukraine are from poland to try and defend the country. so i think there is nervousness here but also defiance and anger at what's happening. >> oren liebermann at the pentagon, new satellite images show dozens of vehicles that have moved across a pontoon bridge near ukraine/belarus border. what does this tell us about russia's plan of attack? >> reporter: well this is a pontoon bridge cnn has been watching over the course of the last ten days or so, on the belarusian border or near that border and taken down and put back up. now we see forces and now we see essentially i believe it's tanks that we see in that imagery or some sort of vehicles on the southern side. it means skpshand it's a strong indicator that the concern of the u.s. that's been stated, that russia will move on kyiv is playing out. a senior defense official said earlier today that russia was drawing closer to kyiv. that official wouldn't be

specific on what that distance was, but this is already pretty much the closest point from the belarusian border to kyiv, some 50 miles or so give or take. it goes through the chernobyl exclusion zone which was reportedly taken over earlier in the day by russian forces. so this builds to that weight of evidence that russia is trying to as the officials said, decapitate the ukrainian government and put in as we heard a puppet government, one that is subservient to russian president vladimir putin, and this is what we're seeing play out, and this is what we're seeing evidence of in this new satellite image. >> jill dougherty in moscow, we saw dramatic video of antiwar protesters be arrested. what will happen to these brave people just for speaking out? >> it depends. you know, some of them could be used as examples. some may, you know, be held in prison for or in jail for a while, detained, and then sent home with a warning that now

they have a record and that that police record will have an impact on their future. others you never know, if they were involved in any type of hitting or even the pretense of that, they might be arrested and prosecuted. it's hard to say, but i can say, don, you know, that the fact that there really were people on the street and not just young people, but kind of a mix, it was really surprising to me because it is very difficult to go on the streets right now in russia anyplace and protest anything that the government is doing. ever since a few years ago they've really cracked down, and these protests, at least the one we saw here in moscow was shut down very quickly. but that said, if you look at, you know, the numbers for russians overall, probably most of them do support this operation, but one of the reasons they support this

military operation invasion is because of the stream of propaganda on tv. i maean, it is massive all day long. there are pictures of, you know, ukrainians and fascists from world war ii, ukrainians being depicted as monsters who murder people. it is all out propaganda, and so a lot of people are frightened here in russia. they believe in kind of this mirror image that russia is the one that is being threatened, is being threatened by nato. so that's one of the problems that people believe it, but there are people, you can see there were some former generals who actually spoke out before this invasion began against it, and i would say some in the intellectual, you know, educated big city community are beginning to speak out. >> oren liebermann, i want to ask you about we have this audio

tape reportedly an exchange between the soldiers cussing at a russian warship before being killed in battle. i want you to listen to this. >> wow, the ukrainians are def

defiant, oren. they aren't backing down. >> two things were certain going into this, and this is what the u.s. had assessed, first, that russia had the massively superior military and the armed forces buildup around ukraine, and that ukraine's military might not be able to hold out all that long, whether that's days or weeks is unclear and the pentagon wasn't going to get into how this was going for the russians. but the other thing that was clear was that if the russians chose to become an occupying force after this invasion, the ukrainians would put up one hell of a fight, an insurgency against a russian occupation, perhaps against a russian puppet government, and that spirit th there, that will to fight, that will to stand back against russia and to be ukrainians, that's what you're hearing in that video. and that's what you're hearing from our correspondents who are in ukraine and talking to ukrainians on the ground there. >> yeah, and our understanding, again, is that those folks were killed. oren, thank you. thanks to all our folks in the field,atika, gymjill, and

kyiv under curfew tonight, cnn's teams there reporting hearing heavy explosions just a short time ago. the second day of fighting underway as russia continues its invasion of ukraine. let's discuss cnn's military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton is here to walk us through this. thank you so much for doing this. the ukrainian defense ministry says its armed forces have inf inflicted more than 800 casualties on russian forces. they also say more than 30 russian tanks and multiple

aircraft and helicopters have been destroyed. we can't verify this, but what do you think of these claims? >> well, they're quite extraordinary, don. i mean, compared to the number of ukrainians that are supposed -- have supposedly been killed in action, which is at 137, i believe, at last count, that's a pretty extraordinary number. if it's true, that would be a pretty lopsided situation in favor of the ukrainians. now, it might be something that won't last as long as we would expect it to because, of course, the preponderance of forces is on the russian side. in fact, we have to remember that we have 150 to 190,000 troops on the russian side, and that very fact, of course, is quite a preponderance, and that's just for those military forces there. so if it is true, they can -- the ukrainians can obviously withstand a lot of pressure and

they're apparently fighting back in quite a decisive way. but there are some things that they'll have to remember that they can't do this forever unless they get resupplied and that they're very careful with how they in essence husband their resources. >> let's talk more now, colonel, because it is clear that putin's ambitions go well beyond ukraine's eastern regions. russians are moving in on multiple fronts. take us through russia's tactics, please. >> sure. so what this would do, don, actually is the russians are looking at one major thing. they've got one thing in mind, and that is this and if i press this button, it might be even better. this is kyiv. this is the center of everything. what we've been talking about is the decapitation strike that we think might happen with this. so the first idea is to take out the government hear, bre, but h you do this? the one thing they do when they get into preparing the battle, is a series of phases of

warfare. right now we're in the very first phase of warfare by russian standards, and in that first phase, what they're doing is they're actually softening up the ground, literally and figuratively for their next move. this is the ultimate goal, but to get there, they have to go through here and here and here and potentially this way as well. so they are looking at several different things. they think they can get this very quickly, but they may not be able to do it in the way that they're envisioning it. they've got contingency plans to put more pressure on the ukrainian forces. that is kind of how they do that, but the first phase of operations from the russian side is what we're in right now. >> so colonel, russian forces have seized chernobyl. that's the infamous sight of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. what could their objective be here, seizing chernobyl? >> so with chernobyl, which is right there approximately, that

is, you know, a very sensitive area because, of course, what they're dealing with is the radiation from the 1986 nuclear accident that was the worst nuclear accident in history. that particular accident caused radiation spill that went over large areas of europe, basically central europe, northern europe, and affected a large portion of that -- of the continent, and it's really bad in this area and in the southern part of belarus. over the years, of course, the radiation has decreased a bit in the outlying areas, but that core of the reactor is still highly radioactive, and it was placed in a syria cough gas. why is it important to keep that? depending on what happens, that can be an accident waiting to happen. if i were the russians, i would have avoided it like the plague, but they don't think like we do, and for them, the most thing is

to go as directly as possible to their main objective and chernobyl happens to be in the way of that. so this is why they decided that they needed to go through this area. it's also an area that's not very populated and for good reason, of course, and that is why chernobyl has become this area where they actually are holding hostages now. >> i want to talk about the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, he is saying tonight he's putin's number one target and sabotage groups have entered kyiv. how tactically critical is it to keep him safe? >> it's both tactically and strategically critical. he is now whether he likes it or not, the representative of the ukrainian nation, and i think he's actually embraced that role, but as the representative, as the head of state, he is critical. it's like in chess, the king, and this is why it's very important for zelenskyy to be --

his entourage and family to be kept as safe as possible. if the russians capture him, they will basically try him as a war criminal or potentially execute him on the spot. we don't know exactly what would happen there, but those are certainly possibilities. if that does happen, that of course brings up a whole 'nother series of questions about human rights, war crimes, all kinds of things that for a western military would be something you would never get into, but for the russian military, they may take that as basically being the cost of doing business. >> i learned a lot. appreciate it. >> you bet, don, absolutely. we're keeping an eye on the situation in ukraine, and we're going to keep bringing you the very latest information. president joe biden announcing that russian sanctions today, he's going to ratchet them up. but will they be enough? stay with us.

an angry president biden condemning russia's assault on ukraine calling it unprovoked and unjustified, and imposing a round of sanctions saying putin chose to launch this war. now he and his country will bear the consequences. i want to bring in cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser. susan, good evening to you. good to have you here. we have seen president biden's response to putin. he slapped additional sanctions

on russia today, but warns there could be more. explain these sanctions more for us. why are they a big deal, and do you think they need to be even tougher to get putin's attention? >> well, dom, look, i think the concern here is what is the goal of this policy? at this point obviously they're not deterrent in the sense that the invasion has already happened. there was a debate beforehand, before the invasion, which washington warned about, but at the same time, president biden was reluctant to actually impose the sanctions. there were some republicans on capitol hill, president zelenskyy of ukraine urged the united states to put the sanctions on first. that didn't happen, so now the question is these are much more serious than any sanctions that have been levied before on russia according to the experts. president biden says there may be additional measures as well. there are still other things that the united states and europe could do, for example, like cutting russia off from the s.w.i.f.t. international banking

system, but not everyone in europe is on board with that, and so, you know, there's a question about whether it's been maximal, and then there's the question of what's the goal? is it to deter putin from going after other countries aside from ukraine? is it to get him to stop the war? by all accounts it probably will take quite some time for the full effect of these sanctions to be felt. so it's not clear what impact, if any, it will have on the state of yuck ukraine itself ri now. >> susan, biden says it's going to take a while to change the situation. listen to this, and then we'll talk. >> no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening. this is going to take time, and we have to show resolve, so he knows what's coming and so the people of russia know what he's brought on them. that's what this is all about. this is going to take time. it's not going to occur, he's going to say, oh, my fwod, these

sanctions are coming. i'm going to stand down. he's going to test the resolve of the west to see if we stay together, and we will. >> is this a battle of wills? it sounds like that's what he's saying, and who can last the longest here. >> e again, i come back to the question of it doesn't really help ukraine even by president biden's formulation there, right, this is going to be a long haul, and you know, what's really painful as we watch this situation unfold is that president putin unfortunately very likely factored the cost of these sanctions and the other actions that the u.s. and the allies are taking into his decision to go into ukraine and decided to go for it anyway. and you know, one thing i've observed in 20 years of watching president putin is that, you know, he's not looking for off-ramps that the u.s. is giving him. he's not seeing behavior modified by round after round after round of sanctions. he's just not motivated by that.

he's talking about an almost existential war that he's launched here to regain the russian empire, and it's very hard to negotiate with that, and it's very hard to change behavior based on things like sanctions with that. >> we have been witnessing on the air, but we've seen a rise in tui divisions in this country, biden warning that americans will feel this hitting their pocket books. do you think he'll be able to keep the country behind him for months, let alone our international allies? >> you know, don, that is i think the great fear, you know, america is not only an inward looking time, understandably with the pandemic, with so much economic dislocation, but, you know, the political divisions are such that even on a day like today you saw many republicans very critical of biden. there was not the rallying around the flag that you might have expected in a previous era

today, and, in fact, there is an enormous amount of second guessing from republicans. i'm not even talking about those who joined former president trump in complete, you know, admiration for putin or cheerleading for it, even among republicans who condemned putin's actions. they haven't been supportive of biden, his poll numbers are below 50%, so was not clear at all that he talks about tough times that the americans may have to endure as the price of freedom, but it's not clear that americans are willing to pay that price. i mean, look, we're still screaming at each other as a country over taking public health measures in a deadly pandemic. so it's -- i'm concerned that what's happening in ukraine very far away is not something that the public is going to rally around the leader for. >> always enjoy hearing your perspective, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you, don. missiles, air strikes,

ground incursions, we are seeing all of those on video and pictures happening now. but russia's also known for cyber attacks. stay with us. and now it's been nominated for seven academy awards,, including best picturure of the year. go now. don't look back. king c. gillette is a complete lineup of tools and facial hair care products. this is the style master. designed to style your stubble in one stroke, a pivoting metal head that defines every edge, and three comb lengths for added versatility. one tool that helpyou choose, change, and master your style. king c. llette [school bus passing by] [kids laughing] [bikes passing] [fire truck siren] [first responder] onstar, we see them.

we're back with our breaking news. russia waging war on ukraine and the u.s. is on high alert for the possibility of vladimir putin that he could lash out in cyberspace. joining me now cnn's senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. andrew, thank you for joining us this evening. a senior defense official is saying that we have yet to see russia employing the quote, full scope of their electronic warfare capabilities. if they do, what could that look like for ukrainians and for the u.s. quite frankly? >> so, don, russia has the ability to deploy those cyber tools in a way that will

essentially shut down essential government services, could negatively impact critical infrastructure, could make it hard for citizens to access banking and financial institutions, could slow down the logistics that are necessary to deliver goods like food and, you know, water, things that everyone needs to get by, and that's not just in ukraine. they have the ability to wreak that same sort of pain here in the united states as well. >> if russia were to carry out cyberattacks against u.s. interests, how damaging could it be, andrew? >> there's really no limit, don. let's remember that the cyberspace is the low risk, low cost, and high impact weapon that russia has in its arsenal right nowi, right? so you can reap the same sort of pain and suffering via cyber

attacks without sending, without firing a single shot, without sending troops overseas, without having to support a military invasion. it's cheap, it's easy, it's done from within russia. it's done by their own intelligence services or criminal groups, contractors that they hire that out to, and they can literally shut down sectors of economies if they wish to do that. they have been probing our systems and invading our networks in this country for years, and many of those places done just for this, to establish the sort of capability that they can rely on in the event that they need it, and they might very well need it now. >> president biden said today that the u.s. is prepared to respond to russian cyber attacks should they come. what type of cyber capabilities does the u.s. have to use against russia? >> so don, our folks are just as skillful, just as practiced, just as impactful in the ways

that, you know, we can employ the same sort of cyber tools, but you know, essentially where you are then is an all out cyber exchange that could rope in economies and governments and large masses of people around the world. so those sorts of effects won't be trained simply at the united states. we know that russia has, you know, deep grievances with all of the western european nations, with the nato nations, so this really could go broad scope very quickly. >> so could we engage in cyber warfare with russia without there being some blowback? could russia retaliate in some way that could put the lives of our allies or even american lives at risk? >> it's hard to imagine -- it's hard to imagine russia not responding if we engage in that way. i don't see a proactive, you know, aggressive u.s. kind of first strike cyberattack as a realestic

real istic probability. russia is already on the end of extreme sanctions. it's completely reasonable from their perspective to strike back, right? vladimir putin doesn't get hit in the face without sending a punch back in the other direction. that punch just may come in the cyber realm in a way that's designed to exert some sort of economic pressure on the united states in the same way we've put that pressure on him through sanctions. >> when you look at the lead up to russia's invasion of ukraine, president biden was quite open with the intelligence we had about russian troops and their intentions. what's the thinking behind that strategy? >> i thought the way the biden administration utilized intelligence by declassifying and communicating the best intelligence they had was incredibly effective. essentially denied the putin administration the opportunity to do this work in secret, right? the world knew what they were up to that painted them into a very uncomfortable place diplomatically. i think it goes a long way to rounding up support for the u.s.

position, for nato's position, for the world's position really in opposing this level of russian aggression. so it's nothing we've ever seen before. i've never seen intelligence of this quality and this scope declassified and communicated broadly in this way, but i think it was definitely the right call. >> andrew mccabe, thank you, sir, appreciate it. >> thanks, don. we are solidly into day two of russia's invasion of ukraine and our correspondents are spread out all across the region. we're going to keep bringing you the very latest right after this. certified from headlamp to tailpipe. that's certified head t turn. and it's all backed b by our unlimited mileage warranty. that means unlimited peace of mind. mercedes-benz certified pre-owned. translation: the mercedes of your dreams is closer than you think. i know there's conflicting information about dupuytren's contracture. i thought i couldn't get treatment yet?
