♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪ madam speaker, the president of the united states. >> putin's latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. >> you can see complete devastation here. >> are you alive? >> ukraine is like a hell.

>> russia stop. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world, i'm michael holmes coming to you live from lviv in western ukraine where we are following the breaking news. >> i'm isa soares bringing you highlights of joe biden's state of the union address. this is cnn breaking news. just hours after the u.s. president used his first state of the union speech to slam russia for its, quote, premeditated and totally unprovoked invasion of ukraine, we are getting word of dramatic developments on the ground.

you can see there earlier at least two large explosions rocking ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv near the russian border. more have been reported since. the latest targeting a university and a regional police department. you can see kharkiv looks like a true war zone now. wreckage and rubble on both sides of the road. this is just a week into this invasion. now not long ago russia's defense ministry announced they have taken full control of khersan. ukraine's defense ministry is denying that. they show russian vehicles parked in a main square. president joe biden promising western allies will keep punishing russia and president vladimir putin along with crippling sanctions, russian aircraft are banned from air space and the u.s. justice

department is going after oligarchs and what mr. biden is calling their ill begotten gains. >> six days ago russia's president thought he could make the world bend to his menacing ways but he badly miscalculated. he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would bend over. instead he met with a wall of anticipation. he met ukrainian people. he thought he could divide us at home in this chamber and this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe as well, but putin was wrong. putin is now isolated from the world more than he has ever been. he has no idea what's coming. >> now part of that so-called wall of strength, the ukrainian people. they went after a russian military vehicle earlier while

waving ukrainian flags. incredible bravery. meanwhile, kyiv is still bracing for a russian onslaught. the russian defense ministry acknowledging a short while ago that it is indeed targeting ukraine's communications infrastructure. several apartment blocks outside the capitol also hit hard. ukraine's president not backing down in the face of russia's threats. volodymyr zelenskyy speak exclusively to cnn's matthew chance from a bunker in kyiv. matthew asked about his calls to implement a no fly zone over ukraine and whether he thinks the u.s. and its allies should be doing more to help. >> translator: i have already turned to some foreign leaders with this request. i believe that leaders must support democratic states of the world who are keen to defend such principles. this powerful issue of closing the air space helps us

tremendously. i do not mean dragging nato into this war. in all honesty everyone already is dragged into this war and this was definitely not done by ukraine. this was done by russia in this case. there is a full scale war happening and everyone thinks it will be over fast. we spoke many times with president biden and i am thankful to him for these opportunities and support but they also did not hear me. i have been telling them that ukraine will fight hardest of all, you will see. but us alone against russia, we would not be able to do it. >> joining me is the mayor of kyiv and, mr. mayor, appreciate you taking the time. first of all, give us a sense of the situation in your city right now and what you might expect in the days ahead. >> good morning, good afternoon, everybody. it's not secret. it's not secret the target of

russians is capitol of ukraine and right now we see how many forces, russian forces go from be bello russia, tanks moving to capitol of ukraine. we right now prepare to defend our city and last night was a lot of groups in kyiv. we make the break from evening to morning. it's nobody allowed to go to the streets and that way it's much easy to control the city. situation is not easy. we see how just a couple of

seconds ago dramatic pictures from kharkiv. destroyed the city. it's symbolic. it's last day in independence, largest. the biggest square in europe was name of freedom square getting wrecked. also yesterday getting wrecked in tv tower. five civilians was killed. it's what happens. people near us, some people try to move from the city but right now do it much more difficult. all of the people already moved from kyiv. whole infrastructure right now in our city, i mean, electricity, heating, water work. we doing everything for them to

deliver service for citizens because if we switch off the electricity or heating, it will be a disaster for capitol of ukraine. >> how -- you mentioned that ukrainian forces are prepared to defend the city. of course they are. they have the advantage of knowing the city better than the enemy does. how do you expect if there is a fight for it to sflel develop? >> to be honest, it's important. i have a lot of experience. before i traveled around the world, lived in many countries but right now i very proud to

say -- i am very proud to be ukrainian. you know why? because they will show every ukrainian soldier, one of the strongest army of the world. they is much stronger than we are, but the will to be independent is main priority for us and we are defend our families, our city, our country and our future. we are finding for whole democratic war and that's why i want to say thank you everyone for everyone who support. we need support. without you, this would be difficult to survive.

>> you mentioned a lot of people have left the city. that is true. do you expect shortages of food and medicine and other things? what is it your city needs? >> right now logistics is brought but we have directly communications and with humanitarian organization. they already send the food, everything that we need to kyiv. i hope -- we starting to receive the food, everything what we need we have right now actually. we need more, but the rest in the way to kyiv. we definitely make information to all our friends if something what we need. we need right now more hard

sanctions against russia. we have to keep united. all democratic war because it is a war not just for ukraine, it is challenge for all modern world, for whole democratic world. the reason why the war is started, because our goal, our dream to be part of european family, it doesn't accept on putin because they want to bring us back to ussr and make part of russian empire. >> if the russians come into your city, if that happens, what will happen? how will they be met? >> we'll be fighting. it's every square, every street.

it's a huge political movement right now. old people. can you imagine doctors, actors, the many professions they never have expectation to fight, to keep weapons but right now they coming to us and ask about weapons. they are ready to fight. it's amazing. it's amazing. whole city. the whole city. some part of the movements, women and children move and men stay in the city. we expect huge fight. we fighting for our families and our power. it's our home. >> well, the world is watching and the world is on ukraine's

side in this conflict. the mayor of kyiv, thank you so much for your time. our thoughts are with you? >> thank you very much for the help. thank you for support. russia is pushing further into ukraine as evidenced by its claim of capturing the southern city of kherson. i want to show you a map and show you russian forces shaded in red moving towards ukraine's major cities. this comes just a day after a cnn team witnessed russian military vehicles on the move south of belgorad of russia just across the border. cnn's fred pleitgen joins me live from belgorad in russia. >> reporter: exactly what you saw in those pictures. those were from very late last evening with russians moving forces to the area north of

kharkiv. what's happening now, if you look at the trucks we just saw in that video, they don't look like they're very dirty. they look like they're coming pretty fresh into the battlefield. they are replenishing some forces, rotating forces in and out of the battlefield to kharkiv to further press that offensive. something we took note of, russians might be having twrubl logistics and getting fuel to their soldiers and food to their soldiers as well. we have seen in the past couple of days civilians bringing food and water to the checkpoint that you see there behind me and at some point a lot of that being loaded into military vehicles and being driven to the front line. whether or not that means there are any shortages here, whether or not those are donations on top of what the russian military is bringing is difficult to see. certainly something we did take note of especially in light of what the u.s. is saying now. on the battlefield itself,

you've eluded to that. the offensive in kharkiv seems to be heating up with now those heavy missiles being used inside the city. you had the administrative building that was hit yesterday and then this morning. two buildings that were hit inside. michael, here on the ground we have seen weapons being moved and weapons of that nature were employed on the battlefield. we certainly have seen rocket launchers being moved closer to the battlefield in kharkiv. we have seen them getting rotated in and out and soldiers pouring into that battlefield as well. it seems as though from the vantage point the russians are still pushing and pressing the offensive in kharkiv. that remains one of the main large battle fields. obviously a lot of people looking towards kyiv.

that's a battle that's shaping up. the one that is heating up and really in a very dangerous phase right now seems to be the one going on in kharkiv. we can see it from our vantage point here, michael. >> good to have the upgrade there in belgorad, russian, thank you very much. the fighting in ukraine has killed at least 136 people. the actual death toll is likely much higher. hundreds of thousands of people have already fled ukraine while thousands more are stuck at the border forced to wait in bitter controlled areas. arwa damon spoke with families that tried to leave the country but are in limbo due to their nationality. >> reporter: for too many here,

this is a family's last day together. on the road to ukraine's border with poland. at one of the border crossings it's a parallel story of different forms of pain. on one side, ukrainian families. some have already said good-bye to their husbands, fathers, sons, men age 18 to o60 are not permitted to leave. some stay together until the end. they move through within hours. on the other side, non-ukrainians. students and professionals from dozens of nationalities all who we spoke to said they had been here for days in below freezing temperatures, angry, delirious, cold, weak. they said they walked here, told they are not permitted to board the buses. those are for ukrainians only. so this is the fourth time you are trying to cross the border? >> yes.

yes. >> yasid is from afghanistan, here with his unclclcle and fam >> two months that i didn't hear my parents voice. >> reporter: oh. >> yes. so that's so hard. >> reporter: they have all been on the road for four days back and forth from border crossings. his aunt's arms are aching from carrying her newborn. she had just given birth the day before russia launched the first strikes. they did not think like soya would survive. we lost track of them at the border. they were able to move to the front of the non-ukrainian side because of the children but for the men waiting in the line that has not moved, another night in subzero temperatures is not something they think they can survive.

>> who am i going to tell problems to? we have no one. >> reporter: how long have you been waiting? >> for me, i've been here two days now. >> reporter: and you? >> four days. >> reporter: four days, right here? >> yes. our parents are home waiting for us. in my mind i feel like crying. ukraine is a beautiful country but they don't have to treat us like this. >> reporter: there is not a single person here who can come to terms with how quickly, how violently all they knew to be real and safe was ripped away. elena is from vietnam married to yuri. they are directed over to the ukrainian line. >> reporter: you are going to have to stay here. i will stay. >> we have made decision just this morning because i will stay a little longer to wait to see what going on next. >> reporter: how are you explaining this to the children? >> my older son, he understands. my little girl, she know that

the war, the war here but she doesn't really understand what is the war. >> reporter: hi. hi. afghan family. did you make it? >> i didn't let us cross. they said the baby cannot cross. >> reporter: we head over and there they find a german trouble. they used a ukrainian surrogate to carry their twins. >> they say go to the border. the kids are three weeks old. they must go to poland. we need help. >> reporter: they were waiting for their baby's passports when the war started, a war that has already crushed so many lives and ripped away so many dreams. >> reporter: and i have to say

we were so worried about coming back out here to this border crossing this morning given just how cold and horrendous the temperatures were overnight and then we got here and the line had disappeared. all of those who we had met who had been waiting for days had somehow finally been able to make it across. the question is why? what changed that allowed them to be processed this quickly and why was that change not implemented sooner? why did they have to suffer this much? we're trying to get answers to that but so far on the ukrainian side they're saying that the problem was on the polish side and vice versa. but either way, right now finally all of those men who we met out here who were freezing cold have finally been able to get across. but, again, at the core of this is why did they have to suffer

this much. >> that is at the core of it, anna. it's an important aspect of this story that needed to be told. arwa damon there at the ukrainian/polish border. peter zelmayev is director of the eurasia democracy movement. we're joined from kyiv again. it's great to check in with both of you again. what has been happening since we last spoke a few days ago. how difficult is it to get around? >> michael, we are very close to the town where you can see behind us this is an effort fwi local citizens to speak with the soldiers who have been drafted. a massive outpouring of the troops which is backed up by

worldwide sympathy for ukraine. a series of actions taken against russia. germans, germans finally did away with the long policy and decided to provide weaponry to ukraine. this is earth shattering in the situation. they are considering urgent emergency procedure to grant ukraine membership in the union. i live in new york. they're banning russian oligarchs. people are comparing this to the spanish war in 1936.

policies in europe and all over the world are set to be making their way for ukraine to fight. any 245u9 russians are planning to attack kyiv? what are your fears and expectations? >> it's all there's been a bomb shelling vehicle. they wer e attacking civilian objects we saw last night attacking air fields,

residential houses. last few days we watched russian speaking channel, russian speaking channel on youtube. it's a morning of prayer and you now on my own channel -- >> look it up. let me just say why we are doing this. what the world is now seeing what's happening in ukraine with indiscriminate shelling of residential areas. munitions being used on civilian targets. they're bombing the site of the largest massacre of ukrainian jews. it seems like he's killing these victims a second time. the world is seeing all of this.

t the world is difficult. we're trying to counter it so they can see the true picture. >> right. right. up fortunately we have to leave it there. safe travels and let's connect again in the next day or so as you continue your journey. our thoughts are with you. thank you very much. okay. i'm michael holmes in lviv, we will have much more ahead on the war in ukraine. let's go to isa soares. thank you very much, michael. challenges at home. president biden still strikes an optimistic note. the state of the union is strong because you, the american people, are strong.

u.s. president joe biden's first state of the union address came with global unease. he began with the focus on ukraine warning russia it would pay a price for its, quote, unprovoked and premeditated

invasion. the president had bipartisan standing ovation in support of ukraine and its ambassador in the first lady's box. then mr. biden pivoted to domestic issues saying the covid-19 fight is continuing. he pledged to fight the highest inflation in 40 years by pushing for a return to american manufacturing and the creation of more jobs and ended with a call for renewed commitment to democracy. have a listen. >> now is the hour. our moment of responsibility. our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself is this moment our character of this generation is found. our purpose is found. our future is forged. well, i know this nation. we'll meet the test. >> more on this, we're joined

for analysis on the address. director of the office on u.s. politics at the university college of london. very good morning to you. as we've just heard there from the small clip, the president's focus was clearly framed around his biggest foreign policy crisis, that is of course ukraine. he addressed key concerns in kyiv. do you think he hit the right notes? the right balance? >> great to be with you, isa. biden's main challenge was twofold. he needed to tout the white house's' chiefments and he had to talk about the problems. overall i think he was successful. in the economy biden emphasized strong gdp and growth. he understood inflation reaching 40 year peak. on covid he highlighted the pandemic relief bill and progress on immunization.

the country has a long way to go. on his broader domestic policy agenda, he promoted the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the $1 trillion bill which has been the hallmark of his time in office, but he proceeded to make in roads on universal pre-k and child care. he did about as well as could have been expected. >> yeah, i thought he was conciliatory as well as confrontational which is a hard thing to do. let's focus on ukraine. we heard i think it's better to say a cutting condemnation of putin saying his actions were unprovoked and premeditated. do you think he went far enough? this was a speech for many audiences here. his words were quite strong. >> his words were probably the most politically consequential.

a lot of americans are skeptical. about 33% of u.s. citizens approve of biden's handling of the conflict. so biden really needed to persuade skeptics thatively mann and europe's needs as well. and he's speaking to an international audience. he framed it around familiar themes ensuring democracy prevails and western allies on shared goals. he said russia underestimated the unity in rebuking putin's take on ukraine. so he didn't pull too many punches on moscow. it was the most unifying part of his address. >> unifying both sides of the aisle. before you go, i want to ask you though about the domestic troubles at home, in particular inflation. gas prices. was the message on inflation

here, thomas, clearer? >> well, inflation has been whip sawing throughout the u.s. economy for months. most americans do blame biden for the problem. earlier in the term biden's team largely ignored warnings about how large infusions of federal spending trigger the wage price spirals. when inflation did spike the white house kind of shrugged it off as temporary. last night i think we saw biden convey more effectively that he grasped the enormity of the problem. the standard democratic fare, price controls on prescription drugs and housing which made us reflect the reality there's no silver bullet. it is worth noting new reasons to be pessimistic, imposing sanctions on ukraine. it will do anything to help curb rising price levels in the u.s. and globally. when it comes to the foreign policy on the middle class, that is significant.

>> thomas swift, appreciate your perspective. >> thank you. >> we'll have much more on the war in ukraine next with michael holmes. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an i immedie cash payment. call coventry direct to learn morere. we thout we had planned carefully for o r retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned we could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what

city of kherson, that it's denying moscow's claims that it has already been captured. meanwhile, fighting intensifying in kharkiv, ukraine's second largest city. this was the scene a short time ago. large explosions at kharkiv university and the regional police department. ukrainian officials say it was hit by a missile strike. the exodus of people fleeing this country could become europe's largest refugee crisis of the century. nearly 680,000 people have already fled to neighboring countries including two romania where ukrainians are cuing for up to 20 hours trying to cross the border. officials say it is only going to get worse. joining me is an anchor for cnn affiliate. good to have you with us. just give me a sense of what you are seeing on the ground there and what people are telling you as they cross over from ukraine.

>> reporter: michael, it's really hard to explain in words the situation here at the cross border. we have spoken to people, you can see the images, so many people trying to get in a safe place. they are telling us that they are desperate, they are scared and the best word i think they are in shock. you can see in the images that there are so many trucks and cars, that they are waiting to go by ferry in romania. also my colleague mihi will show you in just a second that they have an ambulance for anyone who needs support and also tents for those who need medical consultation too. you can see the line in this moment. it's a line of ten kilometers and the people are waiting here even 24 hours to enter in the country. and i have for you the last updates on the number of the

refugees who entered romania. we speak now for more than 100,000 refugees that entered romania through all the cross borders and more than half of them already went in other countries. so just maybe 15,000 remain in romania. >> i want to ask you, what kind of assistance does romania have in place there? are they able to meet the demand of so many people arriving all at once? >> reporter: well, michael, i'm happy that you ask me this because here the authorities from romania did all their best to receive all these refugees and make them feel like home. they gave them medical support. they gave them accommodations and food, hot meals for everybody who needs but i am not talking just about authorities here in romania but also about

ordinary people who opened their homes for these refugees. the business men who offered their hotels for free for these refugees. and one last thing, michael, i'm sure that all these people, and you're seeing the images, they have one thing in this moment because they didn't left in ukraine just their homes, they left in ukraine their lives but more than that, their families. their dad, their uncles and their brothers and one day they hope to be reunited in ukraine without war in safety. michael? >> all right. antenna 3 anchor, thank you so much. appreciate the update. a very important and developing aspect of what is happening in this country. i'm michael holmes here in lviv in western ukraine. there will be much more ahead on the war in this country. let's go back to ceaisa soares.

right here u.s. oil prices surge as countries prepare to release millions of emergency oil barrels to keep prices low. will a promise from the u.s. president be enough to calm m umpu.u.s. fears? we will discuss. thatat is next. others joy. all are of... various: ahhh... listerine. feel the whoa!

i know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all-americans, but i want you to know, we're going to be okay. we're going to be okay. when the history of this era is written, putin's war on ukraine will have left russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger. >> the u.s. president there trying to reassure americans during the state of the union address that russia's control of oil stores shouldn't be really a cause for concern. it comes as the dow plunged nearly 600 points on tuesday as the price of u.s. oil topped $102 a barrel for the first time since 2014, but u.s. gas prices

have been slowly rising over the past year. have a look at this. according to aaa, the average price for one gallon of gasoline in the u.s. is nearly $1 more than the same time last year. meantime, the list of companies pulling out of russia grows larger by the day. exxonmobile, apple, ford, general motors and boeing just to name a few. cnn's anna stewart joins us to talk more about russia's economic turmoil. on oil, we've seen new records yet again despite the fact that the iea have messaged don't worry, there won't be a short fall. doesn't reflect on the markets. >> they could add 6 million barrels on the market -- sorry. 60. the world will get through that in 6 hours. the world can use 100 million barrels a day. could they flood the market with

more oil? more oil would bring that price down. they're not going to. they're going to keep up, i think, with the steady, steady increase. 400,000 barrels each month steadily increasing it to where it was during the pandemic. the prices are high and it is spiking pretty much every bit of volatile news we get out of russia which is every day. brent was up. multi-year high. >> for both of those. we're seeing more barrels of oil flood into the market. let's talk about corporates because the impact here could be huge in terms of the long term for russians and potentially for putin himself. >> yes. every day we see more businesses backing out of russia. the list just keeps growing. some of them are a result of sanctions. the others are taking a stand but the overall effect is to put, well, russia under a bit of a squeeze. soon they're under pressure and that could build pressure.

apple will stop selling products in russia. they'll also limit apple pay. add that to master card, visa, the sort of effects of swift being connected. boeing suspending all operations in the country as well and exxonmobile from the latest russian project. russia is trying to stop that. they're introducing capitol control. >> anna stewart, appreciate it. the intention of course trying to hobble the russian economy. we'll have much more after air very short break. you are watching cnn.
