this is cnn breaking news. >> hello, everyone, and welcome to cnn. i'm michael holmes coming to you live in lviv, ukraine with breaking news. russian forces moving deeper into ukraine and appear to have their sights set on the capital, kyiv, with heavy explosions from cruise or ballistic missiles reported in just the past few hours. now a ukrainian official says this video shows an anti-missile system shooting a missile missile out of the sky. ukraine and the u.s. say the russians do plan to encircle the city, go after the government, and could inflict widespread human rights abuses. now the ukrainian foreign minister condemned the, quote, horrific rocket strikes on kyiv, saying the last time it happened was in 1941 when kyiv was

attacked by nazi germany. meanwhile, russian forces have been pounding air fields and military bases all across the country. the british intelligence reporting at least 80 strikes since the fighting began. a u.s. source says russia has launched more than 160 missiles. heavy fighting reported in northeastern ukraine as well. video posted on twitter claims to show a military academy on fire. now cnn has witnessed heavy artillery fire in ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv. ukraine's president says at least 137 soldiers have been killed since this invasion began. and he believes the russians are coming after him. >> translator: according to our information, the enemy has marked me as target number one. my family is target number two. they want to destroy ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. we have information that enemy sabotage groups have entered

kyiv. >> now the russian president, vladimir putin, he spoke with his iranian counterpart on thursday, blaming nato and the west for the invasion. according to tehran, mr. putin called it a legitimate response to efforts to undermine russia's security. >> translator: everything that is happening is a desperate measure. they've left us no other option. they've created such security risks that we couldn't react differently. >> now the u.s. president joe biden has unveiled sweeping new sanctions on russia, although he admits that it will take some time before moscow feels the effects. he also says he is still considering direct sanctions on vladimir putin. >> putin is the aggressor. putin chose this war. and now he and his country will

bear the consequences. america stands up to bullies. we stand up for freedom. this is who we are. make no mistake, freedom will prevail. >> all right. cnn's white house reporter kevin liptak is standing by in washington. but we begin with our national security editor nick paton walsh in ukraine. and nick, reports of fighting where you are. tell us what you're seeing. >> yeah, described yesterday by president zelenskyy as the severist fighting in ukraine at the moment. it seems to be -- well, we saw it occurring around a bridge where we're standing in kherson. the geography is really important. this is the kind of land link up to mainland ukraine from russian illegally held crimea, the peninsula they took in 2014. now this is the main town that you have to go through in order to move up north. yesterday, we arrived here and

saw heavy fighting for the bridge that helps you get from the side where no russian forces have got to the river bank, to this side still held by ukrainian forces. it appeared yesterday that russian forces had indeed gotten over the bridge and crossed to this side. we heard gunfire on this side of the ridge. we heard a bit more small arms fire after dark last night. it's unclear whether russian forces have gone. reports are they may have head west or east. that's essentially odessa or the separatist areas depending on what direction they've taken. but overnight we've heard persistent low-flying jets here, three, four times, distant air strikes and another low-flying jet this morning. it's clear the fighting is still continuing to some degree for this vital river. it's important, as you know, because the dnieper river runs from the black sea through mainlands ukraine, essentially kind of splitting its east and

west with kyiv in the middle. so control of the bridges across this dnieper river is vitally important ukraine would say for defense of that western, northern part of the country and possibly kyiv as well. and obviously too we've known part of the russian maneuvers have been designed to push up from crimea, creating extra pressure on the defense of the capital and also potentially providing assistance off to the east. >> all right there. nick paton walsh there in kherson where fighting is going on. we will check back in with you a bit later. thank you, nick. let's go to kevin liptak in washington. kevin, we're hearing the reports of course that the russians are coming up on the capital, kyiv. what are you hearing there from the white house about that? >> this is something that american officials are monitoring very closely this evening. earlier tonight, a u.s. lawmakers did receive a briefing from a top administration official about the latest on the

ground there. and one of the pieces of information that they were told was that russian forces entering from belarus were about 20 miles outside of kyiv. and now that briefing took place about 6 1/2 hours ago. so those numbers may have changed since then, but that was a startling piece of information to the senators and congressmen who heard it. they also were told that these forces have the goal of encircling the city, that they were under attack from the north, south and east of kyiv. and so all of this is sort of a stark illustration of something that the administration had actually been warning about for several weeks, that this was one of the intentions of vladimir putin's assault on ukraine is to eventually get to the capital. now secretary of state antony blinken in this briefing, and one of the things he said, he was convinced that one of the gels of this invasion was to undermine the ukrainian government, essentially

decapitate the ukrainian government and install some other type of force. so right now president zelenskyy is saying he is remaining in kyiv. the united states has discussed contingency plans within the past several weeks with him about what might happen. it's not clear how much he has engaged on that. but all of this is certainly playing out here in washington as well. >> all right. kevin, appreciate the update. kevin liptak there in washington. all right now. joining me now from canberra in australia, malcolm davis is a senior analyst in defense strategy and capability at the australian strategic policy institute. great to have you back again. so when you look at what's going on, what tactics do you see are most likely to be employed by the russians now? having by and large taken out the initial targets they were after. do you think we're going to see tanks, ground troops? and what do you see them doing? >> well certainly there is

initial missile and air strikes were designed to take out strategic targets to weaken the ukrainian air defenses. i think the russians have been largely successful, although there are media reports of one ukrainian fighter which they're calling the ghost of kyiv, which has taken down six russian aircraft. so he is a fighter ace now. but i think the following on from those missile strikes we see continuing, you will see the russians send in their ground forces, and you're already seeing that in fighting around chernobyl and coming from the north from belarus towards kyiv. and behind those initial thrusts are the russian's second and third echelon forces. you have to understand the way the russians fight, a series of echelon forces. the very fact they haven't committed 50% of their deployed forces so far is significant. but a lot of the force is in the

rear, waiting to go. >> when we talk about the capital, kyiv, can you imagine or visualize tanks rolling into the capital, or do you think perhaps a strategy militarily could be surround the city and then kind of lay siege to it, even perhaps cut off the power and so on. what are the potential options there? >> i think the russian have got a number of options. certainly if you look at their past use of ground forces, for example, in grozny in 1994, they essentially bombarded the city with mass artillery and rocket fire. so potentially they could do that with kyiv. that would cause horrendous damage and civilian casualties. the second option would be, as you suggest, surrounding kyiv and trying to isolate it. but that would be a long-term siege. and i'm not sure putin has the willingness to last out that long in terms of a deployment. so the third option is to force

their way and fight street by street. that's going to be incredibly bloody for the russians and the ukrainians. both sides will take heavy losses. but i have a feeling that probably the russians will choose that option combined with special forces or spetsnaz operations to try to seize or eliminate the leadership at the very top. >> you mentioned grozny. and for those of us who remember what the russians did there, i mean, the notion of tanks and troops going into the capital sort of defies belief. what could that look like, as you say, in terms of casualty potential? >> it would be horrific. wherever the russians choose to bombard from a distance with massed artillery and rocket fire where they go in and fight street by street, it's going to be bloody either way. certainly the ukrainians are giving every indication they're

not going to simply give up. so the russians will pay for every meter of every advance with lives lost. but the ukrainian are also going to take very heavy losses as well. and how you evacuate civilians from the line of fire i think becomes a really critical issue, particularly when you the russians advancing in the south much more rapidly than what they're advancing in the north. so the consequences are intervention into kyiv would be horrendous. and it would place real pressure on nato to do something more than simply sanctions. particularly if you start to see large numbers of civilians dying in the streets. >> well, given what putin said about anyone interfering, intervention by nato meaning what? >> well, that's the key challenge here. putin did make that threat, and i believe we discussed this last night where he was threatening a

new type of military power of which the u.s. and its allies had never experienced before. there is some discussion that could mean escalation of tactical nuclear weapons that would be an incredibly dangerous move by putin. the other possibility i think is very large cyber and counter space offensives designed to take out the economic and informational infrastructure of the u.s. and its allies in europe. so you had cyber attack last year on u.s. energy systems. that should be a taste of what could happen on a much larger scale against banks, against telecommunications, against energy and other critical information infrastructure. that could certainly be one option rather than going straight to nuclear tactical weapons. >> a terrifying, frankly, list of options that you outline, none of them good.

malcolm davis in canberra, always good to have your expe expertise. thank you so much. >> thank you. all right. coming up here on "cnn newsroom," not everyone in russia is on board with the invasion, and some even going to jail after protesting on the streets of moscow. also, residents in ukraine turn a subway station into a bomb shelter. how they're holding up. all of that still to come. ♪ i've been everywhere, man. ♪ ♪ crossed the desert's bare, man. ♪ ♪ i've breathed the mountain air, man. ♪ ♪ of travel i've had my share, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere. ♪ ♪ i've been to: pittsburgh, parkersburg, ♪ ♪ gravelbourg, colorado, ♪ ♪ ellensburg, cedar city, dodge city, what a pity. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere. ♪ never be afraid of your strength. because your body is cable of amazing things

now president vladimir putin, of course, enjoying overwhelming support in russia, but that hasn't stopped sporadic demonstrations in his own country against this invasion. according to independent media and local monitoring groups, more than 1700 people are being detained in anti-war protests around the country. cnn's nic robertson reported on some of those arrests as they were happening.

>> here is another man just being taken away and arrested here. this is happening literally by the minute. and i'm looking at another one, two people coming up behind lilliana, two, three, four, five, six. at least six other people here literally while we've been talking in the past couple of minutes, more than ten people have been arrested. >> now russia bars demonstrations without a permit. but russians can stage individual single-person protprotest s jen psaki saying they're courageous and showing despite propaganda, there are russian people who profoundly disagree with what putin is doing in ukraine. meanwhile, residents in kharkiv, ukraine have turned a subway station into a makeshift bomb

shelter. international correspondent clarissa ward was there and spoke with frightened but determined ukrainians seeking safety. >> reporter: kharkiv residents scrambled to find shelter as russia's brutal assault unfolds. deep underground, scenes reminiscent of the second world war. the shock just sinking in that what was unimaginable is now reality. as 36-year-old darya tells us. >> you wake up, and it's totally unreal. it's at 5:00 a.m., and you find out that the world is no longer the safe place you imagined. we are independent country, ukraine, and we are not same as russians. and we don't want to be a part of russia or any other country. >> this really gets to me. and i cannot believe it's happening, really. >> reporter: yesterday, this was just an ordinary metro station full of people going to and from

work. today it has become a de facto bomb shelter. and there are just hundreds and hundreds of people who have descended on this place, fearful for their lives, and uncertain of what the future will bring. and the thing you hear over and over again from people is where can we go? where is it safe now to go in ukraine? and i want to be clear about something. this is not a frontline city in ukraine's eight-year war with russia. this is a thriving metropolis of 1.4 million people who have never experienced anything like this in their entire lives, and now they're being forced to literally camp out with their families, their pets, their loved ones. they grabbed whatever they could from their homes, and they brought it here. and they don't know what's next for them. they don't know what the new ukraine will look like, and what place they will have it in. many we approach are too

overcome to speak. i'm asking if they're afraid. they're very nervous. why are you nervous? "look at the situation around you," this woman says. i'm so sorry. it's a terrible, terrible situation. there is no doubt here about who is responsible for this conflict. but few can understand why. so it's interesting. i just asked them what do think think of president putin? do they think he is crazy? they said he's not crazy, he is sick. he is sick. we just want to live peacefully. >> it's just with putin and the world. >> a simple plea for mercy that has so far fallen on deaf ears. >> all right.

let's turn now to leti valilenk. she joins me from kyiv. thank you for doing. so i saw you quoted as saying this is surreal. obviously, you never thought you would be living through the nightmare that your grandmother lived through during world war ii. how are you feeling right now as you watch this happen to your country? >> i stand by the quote that you just mentioned. it is surreal. i guess by now there is also tiredness, which is seeping in, because we hardly get any time to sleep because of the information coming in from all over the country, and because of the utter shock that we are all in. >> what are you doing day to day, hour to hour? what are you doing?

>> well, my personal story is i'm very much involved with the international community and with the international parliamentarians. and i just try to get their attention to help ukraine, because, again, if this continues at the level that is happening now, if these air strikes happening, the tanks rolling in, ukraine will not be able to stand for long against such a massive russian aggression. and we need assistance. we need help from all departments that we have, from all those countries that pull themselves up on us. we're thankful for those as ever. but we need protection. we need the sanctions to be in place. we need more weapons inside ukraine, and at the end of the day, we knee a closure of our airspace. and that can be done only with the help of the u.s. and the uk

and we need u.n. peacekeepers or whatever, other troops on the ground here in ukraine countering russia's attacks. >> yes. sadly, none of that seems particularly likely. you know, when you talked about the surreal nature of this, i think back to vladimir putin when he spoke. he spoke of close cultural and familial ties between russia and ukraine. yet of course an invasion lucky the one under way could cause thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of deaths of people in ukraine related to people in russia. that must just boggle your mind. >> i'm sorry. just as we speak looking out my window, and there is like planes flying in towards because i'm on the outskirts of kyiv right now. i'm sorry. sorry for that.

because every time we get this, it's disturbances every single time like that. on the outskirts of kyiv right now. and we speak there were several planes flying in the direction of the city. and we know from the president's address just several minutes ago that's air strikes are to begin right about now. hopefully our anti-air strike system is going to be able to withstand that. but as we speak, and this is what i say that we are all exhausted from this, because we have helicopters. we have airplanes, fighter jets flying all around all the time. and every time we hear a noise, it's like looking out of the window, where is it going? is it going to hit or is it going to miss. >> i can't imagine how unsettling, how terrifying this is for you and everyone in kyiv as well. what is your greatest fear about

what's going to happen? clearly, putin wants to overthrow the government at a very minimum. but if his troops and tanks come into the city, it could become a very bloody situation. >> let's hope that doesn't happen. i have faith in the ukrainian army and in the ukrainian people. we now have huge lines filing in to sign up to territorial defense units. people here are brave and are not up to giving up their country. we do not want to live under somebody's rule, whoever it is. we are a free people. we have fought for our freedom. our men and women have died for this freedom. in the decades and centuries before that. ukrainians value their freedom the most. and we want our children to live in a free and independent

country and a democracy. and this is what we are fighting for, and this is what we will be standing for. and hopefully, the military experts from the u.s., from the uk and from within ukraine are right in saying that our goal is to withstand this blitzkrieg which is happening now and lighting up all of ukraine, every single region. and if we withstand it until the end of the weekend, then we will have at least a bit of a breather, because then putin will need to think up some other creative plan how to destroy and dismember ukraine. >> again, i can't imagine what you're going through. and our hearts go out to you and everyone in kyiv at the moment. and our thoughts are with you. lesia vasylenko, thank you so much. we'll keep checking in with you. >> thank you. thank you. >> it's heartbreaking to hear.

now we do have this report into us here at cnn. ukraine's deputy interior minister says a ukrainian fighter jet has been shot down over kyiv. photos tweeted by the ukrainian emergency forces appear to show a fire at a private two-story house. this is after fragments of the plane fell on it apparently. it's unclear if those are the remnants of the same jet. we will, however, bring you more details as we get them. now before we go to break, i want to bring you more reaction from ukraine. cnn talked to residents here in lviv where i am to get their thoughts on the russian invasion. have a listen, and we'll be right back. >> yes, something bad is happening, but there is no need to panic. we just need to take some action, some precautions and try to keep alert and mindful and stay kind of clear minded. >> i feel angry, you know. i don't feel helpless, but i feel angry, and i feel like we

need an international support, a strong support. and actually, my mother who is 71 she is going to stay in kyiv and fight for kyiv. [yawn] bro trip! if you book with priceline, you'll savmore, so you can “broooo” more. [impressed] broooooo. broooo!!!! broooo!!!!

hello, everyone. i'm michael holmes live in lviv, ukraine as russia storms ahead with its invasion. i can tell you in the last hour or so, we've twice had the air raid sirens going off here where we are, which is incredibly worrying for people. nothing has happened, but it's incredibly worrying. and then it's followed by an announcement. and just got the translation of the announcement. it's a pretty routine warning announcement. it's from the department of civil defense here in lviv. it's telling people turn off the lights, gas. put off the fire in the stove.

take your individual protection equipment, personal documents, food and water. alert your neighbors and help those who are ill or elderly to get outside of the building as soon as possible. go to the shelter or take cover. imagine hearing that in your home as i don't wake up with the sirens blaring. here in the hotel where we are, earlier when this was happening, we saw guests going down to the shelter downstairs too. just put yourself in that position. you get some sort of a sense of what it's like for ukrainians now under invasion. and to that point, the ukrainian capital, it's come under a further bombardment. air raid sirens going off there too not long ago. at least six new explosions rattling the capital in recent hours. now ukraine's foreign minister calling the strikes the worst in kyiv since 1941. that's when nazi germany attacked. the ukrainian government says

the dramatic video you see there shows one of the anti-missile systems shooting a rocket out of the sky. we're also hearing ukrainian troops blew up a bridge to keep a column of russian troops from advancing on the capital. this is on the outskirts of the city. t some 800 casualties on russian forces, it's not clear if it's deaths or injuries and we can't independently confirm it. ukrainian says it has destroyed more than 30 russian tanks and has lost 137 of its own troops. again, we cannot confirm those numbers independently. meanwhile, russia has been targeting numerous cities and military facilities since this invasion began with forces still pushing across the border as we speak. we're told some units are moving towards kyiv. the goal surrounding it, at least initially. perhaps going in after that. we just don't know.

the ukrainian president says russian operatives are already inside the capital volodymyr zelenskyy issued a new video message criticizing allies, including the u.s., suggesting they are merely looking on from a distance, and earlier not lamenting getting more support from nato. >> translator: today i asked the 27 leaders of europe whether ukraine will be in nato. i asked directly. everyone is afraid, does not answer, and we are not afraid. we are not afraid of anything. >> meanwhile, the russian president defending the aggression, telling members of moscow's business community that he had no choice but to invade. >> translator: i want to underline that was such a desperate measure. it could have created such risks that no one knows how the country was to exist.

>> but the u.s. president says vladimir putin chose this war and must therefore bear the consequences, imposing the harshest sanctions yet on russia. >> putin's aggression against ukraine will end up costing russia dearly economically and strategically. we will make sure of that. putin will be a pariah on the international stage. any nation that countenances russia's naked aggression against ukraine will be sustained by association. >> cnn's matthew chance and his crew travelled to an airfield outside kyiv on thursday and ended up witnessing a major confrontation, russian special forces deployed to the area by helicopter and exchanging fire with ukrainian troops. >> how can i film it?

>> go that way? >> the driver as well. okay. let's move down this way against the wall. >> it's okay, it's okay. >> now have a listen to matthew's account of what happened as he explained to it cnn's erin burnett. >> we didn't even know they were russian forces at first because we'd gone to the air base, made that journey by car. we were told by ukrainian official there's had been a fight there for control of it, but the ukrainians were in control. so we approached the gates and we were stopped by these troops. and i said look, can we do a live shot here? no, it's too dangerous. remember, i'm speaking in broken russian with them. i said look, who is in charge? is it the ukrainians or the russians? who is in control of this region? and they said it's the russians that are in control.

i thought it was really odd. where are the russians then? they said we are the russians. it was only at that moment that we all understood that we had encountered and come face-to-face with those russian special forces under heavy fire to that air base just hours before and battled off ukrainian security force, ukrainian military to take control of that region. >> much more from ukrainian ahead this hour. but first, let's bring in john vause at cnn's world headquarters in atlanta. john? >> michael, thank you. we'll take a short break. but when we come back, more u.s. troops on their way to europe, heading to nato's eastern flank. we'll go live to the pentagon in just a moment. ♪ ♪

invasion of ukraine, agreeing to sweeping functions on energy and transport sectors which official says will have a maximum impact on the russian economy and among the harassest ever implemented. the sanctions will deny russia to financial markets significantly raising borrowing costs. stressing vladimir putin must and will fail. >> the european union stands united. tonight european leaders are fully aligned in condemning the atrocious and unprovoked attacks. now we have to meet the moment. we will hold the kremlin accountable. >> and french president emmanuel macron spoke by phone with vladimir putin at the request of ukraine's president. macron now offering to act as a mediator. >> translator: i think it is my responsibility first of all, to

take such initiatives when they're requested by ukraine, and then while condemning, while sanctioning, while continuing to decide and act, to leave this path open so that the day when the conditions can be met, we can obtain a cessation of hostilities for the ukrainian people. >> 7,000 more u.s. troops are heading to europe. that's on top of 8500 others placed on alert last month. some u.s. forces currently stationed in europe are being sent to russia's eastern flank, including latvia. helicopters are also being moved to eastern ukraine. katie bo lillis is standing by. this brings the number of troops in europe to about 100,000. is it a question of when, not if when more troops will be sent? >> i think there is growing concern here in washington tonight that more u.s. presence in the region is going to be necessary both as a reassurance to allies and as a potential deterrent. we certainly know that we've seen senior members of the biden

administration being asked very pointed questions today about concerns that this conflict could spill over beyond the borders of ukraine. but certainly here in the pentagon tonight and in the intelligence community broadly near in washington, all eyes are on kyiv right now. really growing concern in washington tonight that the ukrainian capital is in real danger of falling in the coming days, that its fate hangs in the balance here. senior biden officials briefed capitol hill lawmakers tonight, telling them that russian forces that had entered into ukraine from the north from belarus are now just 20 kilometers from kyiv, the nation's capital. and of course that briefing was quite a few hours ago. it's possible even that those forces have advanced even since then. you know, the -- even as western officials i should add say that the ukrainians have put up a stiff resistance against the russians, u.s. defense and intelligence officials have been

fairly straight forward from the beginning that they don't believe that the ukrainians essentially are massively outgunned, outmanned by the russians, and it's a question of how much pain they're able to extract from russian forces attempting to to enter into ukraine rather than an expectation that they will be able to fully repel this invasion. >> katie, thank you. we appreciate the update. katie bo lillis at the pentagon. after the break, we'll head back to michael holmes live in lviv with more on military defenses in ukraine, including a brave act of defiance in the moments before they died, defending a small island from a russian warship. ♪ ♪ move your high-interest debt to a sofi personal loan.
