>> i'm rosemary church live from cnn headquarters, despite being overmatched and outgunned we will show you how ukrainians are remaining resolute, vowing to fight for their freedom until the very end. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> it is the eighth day of russia's invasion of ukraine and people are once again waking up to the sounds of explosions and resistance, because of that ukrainian resistance, russia had not been able to capture a key city
11:04 pm
until recently. the mayor of kherson indicated russian forces have taken control with troops rolling through the streets, kherson a strategically important for the russian president, its located near the black sea, just northwest of crimea. the former nato commander says vladimir putin is eager to establish a land corridor from russia to the crimean peninsula. meanwhile a bank in kherson accuses russian soldiers of looting, it shared this surveillance footage that appears to show troops hauling away a safe back near the capital kyiv there was at least one explosion lighting up the sky a few hours ago. on wednesday fighter jets screamed overhead just seconds before a giant blast on this western outskirts of the city,
11:05 pm
warning that moscow may be shifting to an ominous strategy of slow annihilation which may already be playing out in the city, ukrainians second biggest city. along with military size russian forces have been shelling civilian targets, several schools, a cathedral, shops and homes all hits over the past two days. the un says at least 227 ukrainian civilians are confirmed dead, though the real toll is likely much higher, cnn cannot confirm any casualty count. and as for that long russian convoy north of kyiv? the pentagon says it's stored as russia regroups, the ukrainian president who his old up in a bunker claims some occupiers are fleeing back to russia and he praises the courage of his fellow
11:06 pm
ukrainians. >> [interpreter] our military, our border guards, our territorial defense, even ordinary farmers capture the russian military every day. if all the captive say only one thing, they do not know why they are here, despite the fact that they are dozens of times more of them, the morale of the enemy is constantly deteriorating. >> let's go to michael holmes now in ukraine, michael? >> rosemary, thank you so much. from trained fighters to everyday civilians, ukrainians resilience in the face of russia's increasingly fierce attack remains strong, but as matthew chance for sports for us now, the onslaught taking an ever growing told. >> russia's assault on ukraine continues without mercy. this is what is left of a university in kharkiv.
11:07 pm
in the port city of mariupol, also the scene of heavy shelling, local officials say hundreds of casualties are now feared. >> [interpreter] united nations has confirmed more than 200 civilians killed across ukraine in the weeks since this russian invasion began. ukrainian officials say the figure is much higher. you think those figures would scare people off the streets, but look at this scene from this town where a russian officer holdup to grenades for protection after delivering an ultimatum demanding surrender. shame on you the angry crowd shouts, just go back to where you came from. minutes later the local mayor
11:08 pm
sets out russians terms. if we start resisting, they will shell the city he tells the crowd. but if you vote for it we will fight back, the decision needs to be taken by everyone though, because the artillery is aimed at us, he says. across ukraine, there continues to be condemned courageous acts of defiance against the russian occupiers, this was a scene in the southern town of -- now under russian control, locals literally lying in front of these military vehicles to resist. >> there is resistance on the battlefield to, russian officials admitting nearly 500 of their own soldiers have been killed so far. ukrainians say the figure is closer to 6000,.
11:09 pm
by the way the human cost of this war is already tragically high. matthew chance, cnn, kyiv. >> now the devastating situation in ukraine has motivated people around the world to look for ways to help, among them is businessman john who is volunteering now as the director of a group called education ukrainian platform, now this is a group that is working to get there, and we talked a lot about the refugees there they are the ones that have crossed the border, you're dealing with the internally displaced and there are a lot of them, what is their situation and how are you helping? >> first of all, it's called the ukrainian education platform, the situation is pretty dire, women and children are dying every day because of the russian assault on ukraine and we're looking -- we're providing safe places for them to live.
11:10 pm
rather than leaving the country as refugees. we believe they need to be closer to love ones, men and boys are fighting today so they need to be close. >> how many people are you talking about? do we know? >> we don't even know. >> yeah? >> we just know that we have five safe areas, safe places in ukraine, mostly in the western part of ukraine, we're working with municipalities to provide the shelter and we are equipping the shelters with betting, kitchen, clothing, medicine psychological support, educational support. this is our goal. >> how much support are you getting? people are tripping in, aren't they? >> oh, they are tipping in. they are chipping in, we are getting a lot of support from europe, from america, from japan, a lot of support, michael. >> i imagine, half the country
11:11 pm
is a war zone now, i imagine one of the biggest challenges is distribution? >> yes. yes, it is. ukraine education platform has 300 volunteers all over ukraine to help us to move the products by car, whatever means are possible certainly one of the biggest issues are people who are stuck in the conflict areas, and we need to be able to move food and medicines to those people, particularly those people who cannot get out. >> when we were talking before, you mention this sort of army of volunteers you have in the enthusiasm and the youth, didn't you? >> yes, the offices bustling. i join the platform when the war started. the office is buzzing with young people working in communications so that people know where to go, but also logistics support and everything.
11:12 pm
removing products as fast as we possibly can. >> at great risk and with great difficulty? you have deep ties to this country, you have roots that go back, tell us about the determination of ukrainians to resist what is going on? >> michael, it's been eight years of fighting, okay? ukrainians are determined to keep their homes and their land and that is that -- will has only increased overtime, they are going to go down fighting. you can see that, getting kyiv will be a very, very difficult task. very difficult. >> and the other thing that i will ask you about because i've asked a lot of people and i get the same answer, if the worse were to happen, a few months from now there is a pro russian puppet government installed,
11:13 pm
that wouldn't be the end of the fight? >> no, there will be a ukrainian insurgency, that is very clear. even here we are hearing about thousands of young man, and older men. it there are swearing their oath and joining the volunteer militias. >> what is your message to the world as they watch what is happening here, and particularly when it comes to those who are helping, internally displaced get forgotten, it's a huge issue, what is your message? >> we believe that internally displaced is better than refugee, okay? we want people to stay here, to help rebuild ukraine, we ask that the world give, whether it is donations in money or donations in food, materials support to keep this country running. >> john, thank you so much,
11:14 pm
appreciate the work you are doing, it's important work and you are deeply committed to helping the people here in ukraine. >> thank you very much, michael. thank you. >> okay, 1 million people have fled the country in one week, 1 million according to the un high commission of refugees, we were talking about 690,000 yesterday, it's 1 million now, they have been flooding the borders of ukrainian neighbors to the south and the west but none more than poland when more than half of the evacuees have chosen to cross the border. poland and bassett or to the united nations says many of those crossing over our unaccompanied children, families are being separated at checkpoints. many refugees also are hungry worth of government is providing wet it can for them, but now reality setting in for the tens of thousands will have no idea when they will be able to return home or indeed if home will even still be there, cnn's ivan watson spoke with
11:15 pm
evacuees at hungary's border with ukraine. >> the train to safety arrives 20 minutes late, rolling across the border from ukraine loaded with civilians, all fleeing the world's newest war zone. it is a carefully manage procession, families emerging 151, expatriates from south asia and africa, and of course ukrainians, welcomed by hungarian officials and aid workers. each handed a solidarity ticket, a free seat on another train to the hungarian capital where more help awaits. >> we help them with traveling, food, wi-fi and all necessary things. even with hotels. >> among the new arrivals is this family. >> they fled kyiv on the first day of the invasion. >> two days ago i was thinking
11:16 pm
that this war is going to finish in a few days and that we won't need even to leave ukraine, but now i just can't make any plans, i don't know when i will see my family again. >> the ukrainian refugees are almost all women and children, absent here husbands and fathers, men of fighting age order to stay behind to defend the country. >> you're going to ukraine? >> sure. >> this man was on a foreign business trip when russia invaded, now she is hurrying back into ukraine to collect her children. >> my husband insists that i protect our children, so i take my son, my nieces and we go to europe with my friend waiting for us and he stayed in ukraine
11:17 pm
to protect our country. >> her husband is also back in kyiv defending the city against vladimir putin's invasion. what would you tell people in russia? >> i would tell them just get rid of your president, he is insane. >> safe, but now uprooted with no idea if and when these people can ever go home. ivan watson, on the hungarian ukrainian border. >> all right, for more on how you can help the people of ukraine, go to cnn.com slash impact for information, plenty of resources there, if you'd like to help. and we will have much more for ukraine, first let's head back to rosemary in atlanta. rosemary? >> thank you, michael. we will be back with you soon. coming up what's israel's doing to try to end the russian invasion of ukraine, we're live in jerusalem, that is next. rtified goosebumps.

you're never responsible for unauthorized purchases on your discover card. russian anti war protesters chanting to support this elderly woman arrested in st. petersburg on wednesday. she was among at least 350
11:22 pm
demonstrators detained for speaking up against the war in ukraine. that number came from a local monitoring group. it also says more than 7600 protesters have been detained since the conflict began. anti war rallies have drawn people of all ages in russia, who told cnn that they have no say in the decision to invade ukraine. and israel is also pushing into mediate between russia and ukraine. israeli prime minister naftali bennett spoke separately with the leaders of both countries on wednesday after ukraine's president asked him last week to help with negotiations. israel has good ties with both moscow and kyiv. but it voted at the un general assembly on wednesday to condemn russia for invading ukraine. cnn's hadas gold joins me now from jerusalem. had us, what are you learning about this conversation between
11:23 pm
prime minister bennett and prime minister president putin on wednesday? and as it offer any hope for a diplomatic path forward? >> we hope there will be a diplomatic path forward. the prime minister of israel, naftali bennett, had phone calls with both ukrainian and russian presidents. these is the second round of talks they have had in less than a week. we first heard about it from the kremlin side, the kremlin sending out a readout yesterday evening, saying that putin outlined his principal position regarding conditions for solving the conflict. he said that that would include unconditional consideration of russia's security interest, steve miller the militarization and denazification. i should note that ukraine has a jewish president. as well as the recognition of russian sovereignty over crimea. the israeli side talk about an official readout of the call with putin. but israeli media is saying that during and after the putin call, israel said they would be prepared to help, if asked at anytime to resolve the dispute and right inside together,
11:24 pm
given israel's unique position. we know that last week president zelenskyy of ukraine did ask israel to potentially play mediator, to host negotiations in jerusalem, because they feel that the current pace of negotiations, belarus, is not a fair place because belarus is a close ally to russia and that they need a change of venue. so, that could be the venue. so far we have not heard concrete steps being taken forward around talks being hosted. but we are seeing conversations continuing. israel sees itself as a very unique position, having good relationships with both ukraine and russia, though, as we noted, israel condemned the invasion of ukraine. they signed on to the un resolution. they're hoping to maintain the position that they have an order to potentially be a source of negotiations, a mediator to bring and into the conflict. >> as we reported, prime minister bennett, after that call with president putin, he also spoke with the ukrainian
11:25 pm
president zelenskyy. are you learning any more about what those two leaders discussed and whether any progress towards peace may be in reach? >> actually, what we understand is that the zelenskyy call was before the putin call. so, first bennett spoke with zelenskyy and then he spoke with vladimir putin. according to a senior ukrainian official who was briefed on the call, who spoke with me, they told me that first of all zelenskyy wanted to discuss the air strike that damaged a holocaust memorial site. as far as we, know the memorial itself was not damaged but the site was struck. he also discuss security concerns. we understand from some media reports that zelenskyy is potentially asking israel to provide some more military support. israel has already sent full three planeloads of ukrainian aid. but the ambassador was on the record the other day saying that they want more military support, even if it is just things like helmets and security vests. israel is in sort of a unique
11:26 pm
balancing act here. they have condemned the russian invasion of ukraine but they have economic, cultural -- there are big jewish populations both in ukraine and russia. and most importantly there are security concerns. here they are playing a balancing. act for israel, they consider the northern border to essentially be a border with russia because of russia's military presence in syria. israel needs rushes tacit approval in order to have the ability to strike targets in syria. israel is afraid if they lose that cooperation they lose that ability to target sites in syria. >> very delicate situation there. hadas gold joining us from jerusalem. ground battles are still far away from some parts of western ukraine. but as you will see, people there do not want to be caught off guard if russian forces close in. that is ahead. plus, eight years after one of the bloodiest days in ukraine's
11:27 pm
recent past, the country is still fighting off russia. i will speak with a filmmaker who documented the violence nearly a decade ago, who says that ukrainians have not lost their fighting spirit. this isn't just a story . but also good old-fashioned will and grit.
11:28 pm

11:30 pm
>> welcome back everyone, i'm michael holmes live in lviv, ukraine, we are following the breaking news of russia's intensifying attacks as its invasion of this country stretches into its eight-day. now the first key ukrainian city appears to have fallen to the russians, the mayor of kherson indicating the russians have taken control of that city with troops now patrolling the streets. the black sea port
11:31 pm
strategically important for vladimir putin and it is just northwest of russian occupied crimea. meanwhile, new explosions rocking the ukrainian capital overnight, this was the scene in southwestern kyiv earlier. u.s. officials warning that moscow shifting to a new strategy of what they call slow annihilation that could see civilians targeted even more. fierce fighting in ukraine's second largest city kharkiv has seen the destruction of homes, schools, even church, the un says 227 civilians have been killed nationwide in the weeks since the fighting began, the real death toll could be higher than that. ukraine state emergency service had put a much higher number out, 2000, but later backtracked on that cnn of course cannot independently confirmed these figures. now all of this is -- to neighboring countries like poland, hungary, romania, the un says 1 million people have
11:32 pm
now fled since the invasion began, despite the russian onslaught, ukraine is pushing back anyway they can, ukrainians like this man who waves of flag in front of russian tanks occupying the main square in kherson. while hundreds of people north east of there have blocked an access road to a nuclear power plant as russian forces advanced in the area. garbage trucks also being used to stop russian forces with the local mayors and quote, nobody is going to surrender the city. now even teenagers are doing their part, this girl was learning how to treat battle injuries in school even before the war broke out, while some white collar professionals like these ones have been practicing their shooting skills at a range. meanwhile residents here in lviv in western ukraine are getting ready for battle even though they are not on the frontlines, anderson cooper with that report.
11:33 pm
>> in an old factory in lviv, they prepare for war as best they can. welding steel to block roads, these are most effective i'm told when the ground is soft and they can get dug down into the earth or in a couple of stone streets, they can duck -- dig down in the cobblestone. but it is unlikely that it will stop a russian tank, but perhaps a vehicle. >> lviv is so far and unscathed, sirens sound, and the fight is still further east. each night, each day the determination here grows. at a brewery in lviv, they now make multiple cocktails. they say they have made 2000 at least using empty bottles of an anti putin beer.
11:34 pm
the beer is called that? >> yes. >> how long have you've been making it? >> we started to brew this beer in 2015, because in 2014 russians came to crimea peninsula and got it, and this label has a history already. >> wow. >> you see -- >> that is quite the image. it's a primitive weapon but potentially deadly, these molotov cocktails have additional materials in there to ensure the fire will stick to whatever is thrown at them. petrol alone isn't good enough, you want something to make it sticky so it sticks on? >> and it's a stick on the surface. >> when we got here, there was a group of maybe 70 or so men who were all standing around the car and there was somebody in a uniform, ukrainian uniform who was exploiting to them how to throw module cocktails inside of vehicle to the best
11:35 pm
effect, there are lot of people here who are trying to get as much training as they can in order to be able to face russian forces if and when they come. >> in another neighborhood, presidents gather supplies, send them wherever they're needed. spike strips to puncture tires, flap jackets with metal plates inside. we are sending them to our guys throughout the day, he says. here you can see camouflage -ness they use show that the enemy doesn't know where our tanks and our personnel is located. and other rooms we have groceries and medicine. a week ago, he was a construction worker but then putin invaded and everything changed. you have a message to vladimir putin, what is it? >> [interpreter] what would i tell him. i would tell him he can go beep himself. >> 14 year olds schools --
11:36 pm
are you scared? >> first time, first day i was, but now i understand that we need to support our soldiers and people and then we will live in peace. >> before leaving we meet pablo and his son arthur, to mental wrapped in the ukrainian flag. he told me i just want to say that my son arthur will learn how to say glory to ukraine faster than he says mom or dad. those will be his first words? >> yes. yes. >> anderson cooper, cnn, lviv, ukraine. >> now this isn't the first time ukrainians have been put to the test, their push for freedom and independence on full display, more than eight years ago during deadly protests in kyiv's square, the
11:37 pm
demonstration involved a botch deal between ukraine and russia, it escalated in an all out battle, it lead to a chain of events. winter on fire, ukraine's fight for freedom is a documentary that captured the journey of the ukraine's violent revolution, have a look. >> european union leaders have failed to sign a historical trade deal after a last-minute -- >> >> i'm delighted to say joining me now is the director of winter on fire, thank you so
11:38 pm
much for being with us the world is watching in awe at the resilience of the ukrainian people taking up arms, fighting a massive military head on, what is this kind of courage to say about the soul of this country? >> you know, thank you for having me. these people have one direction, the direction to freedom, to fight for democracy, direction that they initiated in 1991 when they became independent and the direction that they are following. for them to go backwards towards soviet union, slavery, losing freedom of speech, freedom of expression, i think it is not a life situation. they would rather go and die
11:39 pm
under the bullets, the bombs, but not die as slaves, and i think that is the direction that i saw on the dance square in 2015, 14, and that's what we're noticing today. this determination to free their own country. free their own land. >> the maidan uprising was a major setback for putin, obviously, and one he never forgot, you've said that putin cares about land over people, even his own people, and you think putin's own soldiers aren't 100 percent behind him, how so? >> you know what? i can't talk on behalf of his soldiers because i've never interviewed his soldiers, but i will tell you something, what i hear from the soldiers and what i see from the soldiers they are not always behind it, they live in fear, because i've witnessed how their own calls to their own moms, dads and
11:40 pm
moms to as the authorities to exchange people who have been captured, but at the same time they mediately are fearing for their lives, the lives of their families, how the local authorities can react to them, so at the end of the day it is a very unpredictable situation where there are two countries but at some point they are brothers and they became enemies because of the certain direction that the government is putting them. i think, not every soldier is even understanding why they are there, because that narrative, the media narrative in russia is completely different than the narrative outside of russia. >> yeah, a lot of people here say that their relatives in russia, they don't even really know what is going on in this country, just across the border. i feel for your documentary because i was in the maidan
11:41 pm
when the eu cranium died getting out of that president. and i was there in crimea, there when the russians arrived. saw them coming into our hotel. what's the maidan showed, of course, was that ukrainians did not want a pro moscow president and government. now, if -- if there is another program pro moscow government installed here, what will ukrainians do? >> first of all, i don't believe in that. i don't believe because ukrainians will not allow that to happen. i already said, they would rather die under bullets and bombs. they would not give up their land. i emphasize this, i think this was the creation of putin. but i think that this was also something important coming out of the my dad. the maidan. every thing that happened in 2014, even that is happening
11:42 pm
today, it's happening in the world. i appreciate the world is paying attention more and more and more, and standing by ukraine. because it could happen to any country. we cannot allow things like this to happen. we need to be united. the goal is to be united. because being united in maidan, you witness it. young and old, rich and four, different social classes. at the end of the day, they have been united. they work. if the goal is to unite together in ukraine, we will win this battle against you dictatorships. and that is the immediate lesson we need to know. >> before i let you go -- [inaudible] right, yes. the documentary is on netflix in the u.s. and elsewhere. it is notably not on netflix in russia. unsurprisingly, really. it is oscar nominated now. what do you hope the film
11:43 pm
achieves, especially now in the context of this invasion? >> you know, i hope that we learn a lot of lessons. through the period of time between the maidan and the invasion, we saw how this movie inspired. -- nicaragua and other places in the world. today the movies inspiring people across the world to go and support unity. to go and support the bravery of the ukrainian nation. we know what it means to be together and achieve things together. i think that it also explains a lot today in the context of ukraine. and in the context of the bravery of these people and why they're standing for their land and future of the kids. i think that is what this movie achieves. it is a great lesson, a great lesson for everyone. and what values you have. you can lose, why do values
11:44 pm
they have, and when that used to have in this fight. for ukrainians, it's important to go back for it. i think it's important that we understand the kids who have been arrested in russia, for freedom of speech, freedom of expression. and ukrainians, why would they go backwards to a place where people are slaves? and they do not have the dignity of human persons? so, i think that is why ukrainians stand for their land to the last drop of their blood, it's important. that's what they will do. that is what is happening in ukraine and that is what is happening today. >> it is a remarkable film in many ways, and it's a roadmap to where we are now. and it could not be more timely. you have guinea yevgeny thank
11:45 pm
you so much, it was a pleasure to talk to. you >> thank you. >> much more from ukraine coming up, but first let's head back to atlanta and rosemary church. rosemary church, hi. >> thanks so much, michael, we will talk to you soon. stock trading remains closed in moscow. but global oil prices continue to surge. more on the economic impact of the russian invasion in a live report just ahead. go with simparica trio i it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookwos. dogs get trie protection in just one simparica trio! this drug class has en associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures. use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders.

11:48 pm
welcome back, everyone. with the moscow stock exchange remaining close for trading for a fourth straight day, after the west imposed crushing sanctions on russia, according to jpmorgan, those sanctions have now sharply increase the chance of a russian default. in the u.s. we are just hours away from a new trading day after wednesday's strong rally on wall street. the dow alone closed up nearly 600 points. we are also seeing the price of oil climb, which means
11:49 pm
increased pressure, of course, on gasoline prices. since monday's close, crude has spiked more than 15%. cnn's anna stewart joins us now live from london. good to see you, anna. how will russia cope economically as its financial and trade ties with the world are increasingly severed? >> i think so far the russian tragedy has just been to pull up the financial drawbridge to the rest of the world. it is not going to let any capital leave what has become known as fortress russia. whether that's the stock market, still being closed, or the capital controls that were announced in recent days, to try and limit any western company taking assets out of russia. and so i think a default, as jp morgan has said, is possibly likely on sovereign debt going forwards. for russians in the country it will feel like they are going back in time. the economy won't just shrank. it will be increasingly sparse. you can
11:50 pm
sparse. you can imagine some empty shelves. everyday products, everyday services that we all take for granted, whether it's using your visa card, apple pay, whether it's being able to buy nike online or an iphone. whether you want to buy h & m, because they said overnight they're stopping all sales to russia. where can you travel to from russia given all the various airspace bans from around the world. if you do travel, your ruble is worth less than half of what it was at the beginning of the year. all of these measures are already hitting home. and it's really going to hurt. >> yeah, and of course it will hurt the average russian rather than putin and the oligarchs at this stage at least. anna, a significant move that hasn't happened just yet is the targeting of russian energy. the country still receives revenue for oil and gas. but president biden has hinted that may change. where is all this potentially going do you think? >> that was absolutely
11:51 pm
fascinating, the suggestion that sanctioning oil and gas is a measure that could be on the table. just a couple of weeks ago, speaking to experts, that was unthinkable given the west's reliance on energy. as you can see from oil prices and where they're trading now, there is extreme volatility there. yesterday record highs. brent was up to 113. wow, $119 today. wti 115. we're seeing new multiday records right here, right now. this is absolutely extraordinary. what is so interesting is actually russia is already struggling to sell its oil despite lack of sanctions on that sector. so actually, russian oil is trading right now at an $18 a barrel discount to the rest of brent. so in a way, we're seeing self sanctioning already take place. for a number of reasons. you have tanker operators who are wary of using ships in the black sea for the risks that could be posed. you have some ships unable to dock from russia to other parts of the world. and of course all the big energy companies pulling out of russia. so we're already seeing
11:52 pm
