are you a christian author with a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from all around the world. i'm paula newton. our breaking news this hour. what began as a glimmer of hope has now been snuffed out. the temporary ceasefire in parts of eastern ukraine to let civilians get to safety finally is now in fact on hold after allegations russian fighters violated the agreement. russia is blaming ukraine. against that backdrop amazing
8:01 pm
acts of courage, defiance, and protests by the ukrainian people. have a look at this. what you just saw, that was in kherson. you saw that man jumping on a russian armored personnel carrier and waving that ukrainian flag. now, the city's mayor telling cnn earlier the city is surrounded and russian troops are everywhere. you can call it bluster or bluffing or just plain ominous threat, but while he was meeting with crew members from the russian airline aeroflote the pronouncement from russian president vladimir putin sounded like this. >> much of what is happening and seeing right now is of course a way of fighting russia and the
8:02 pm
sanctions introduced are equivalent to a declaration of war now. thank god this hasn't happened yet. >> an act of war. that comes as the israeli prime minister made an unannounced trip to moscow saturday where he met for some three hours with president putin. details of the meeting have not yet been made public. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has appealed to israel to mediate efforts to bring about a crucial ceasefire. for his part, mr. zelenskyy had a zoom call with members of the u.s. congress saturday. he asked for a ban on russian oil imports. of course that all important no fly zone. and more equipment like fighter jets especially russian made fighter jets which ukrainian service members are already familiar with and can fly on a regular basis. a little while ago we learned the u.s. is working with poland to try and do just that. mr. zelenskyy later spoke with u.s. president biden. he also posted another address to the ukrainian people urging
8:03 pm
them to keep up the resistance against russia's invasion. >> ukrainians in all our cities where the enemy invaded, go on the offensive. go out on the streets. we need to fight every time we have an opportunity. >> now, for more on our coverage we want to bring in cnn's michael holmes, live for us in lviv, ukraine. again, thanks so much for being with us. we heard putin there. he clearly threatened ukraine with one of its worst fears. michael, an existential threat, right? he said saturday if ukrainians keep this up and he means the defiance, that they risk the future of ukrainian statehood. what is he getting at when he says that? >> yeah, more belicose comments from the russian president. let's face it. most analysts believe he is on a time crunch. his invasion has not gone to plan. the costs are mounting both in troops and materiel and the
8:04 pm
sanctions and so he continues to say things like that, that despite him being the invader, ukrainians are the ones risking the future of their statehood. the suggestion of course that russia could just absorb ukraine into russia, annex it like he did crimea. it is perhaps not surprising given he said as much before that ukraine is somehow he said a manufactured country. it's clearly something ukrainians reject and will fight. this is a country that is proud of its independence and its democracy. here putin's comments seem frankly as nonsense, paula. >> obviously at this point everything he says must be parced and taken seriously. there was skepticism about the viability of the humanitarian corridors. that skepticism, michael, was there almost as soon as they were announced, right? we've seen this script before. what are ukrainians in these besieged towns and cities facing right now given that they are not able to establish that
8:05 pm
reliable humanitarian corridor? >> reporter: they are facing a desperate situation. the humanitarian corridor was for people in and around mariupol which is a key strategic port city putin needs to complete his hold on, in order to hold ukraine's coast and ports, mariupol pretty much surrounded, pounded by the hour. food is scarce. there is no electricity which means no water is being pumped. the officials there are saying they can't even collect bodies. the train infrastructure has been destroyed. these humanitarian corridors were announced for civilians to leave and aid to come in and russia announced a temporary ceasefire in the area for that to happen. as you say, pretty much within an hour it all collapsed. ukraine saying russian troops resumed shelling that very corridor area. there were people literally in
8:06 pm
cars and buses ready to leave and they had to turn around. it speaks to the desperate situation for civilians all around this country. we saw those heart breaking scenes reported by clarissa ward as people left their homes on the edge of kyiv crossing that destroyed bridge, many not knowing where they were going to sleep that night. but knowing that it wouldn't be in their own beds. truly, a desperate and frankly terrifying time for ordinary ukrainians just trying to survive this. >> absolutely harrowing. you think you finally have a way out. you prepare for that only to go back to the hell from which you came. it still goes on hour after hour. michael, really appreciate the update. you'll be back in a few minutes with more hours of live programming live from ukraine. appreciate it. ukrainians who survived a week of heavy bombardment in the city located in the northwest now, the outskirts of kyiv, are finally able to flee. the evacuees' route is difficult, though, with many
8:07 pm
having to travel by foot over a damaged bridge and other obstacles of course that remain now in the war torn city. as cnn's clarissa ward reports many evacuees are visibly shaken carrying only a few belongings and the unbearable weight of an uncertain future. >> reporter: for seven days the kyiv suburb of irpin has been pummeled by russian strikes. and you can see it in the faces of those leaving. exhaustion, fear, and gratitude to the soldiers helping them flee. this bridge was downed by ukrainians to prevent russian forces from getting to the city center. it is now yet another hurdle people must cross. there has been a steady barrage of artillery since we got here just over an hour ago. and a never ending stream of
8:08 pm
people just desperately trying to cross to safety. tat this woman tells us she was injured a couple hours earlier. we tried to get some stuff out of our apartment she says and a shell or something hit and i got hit by shrapnel. still in shock she dismisses the pain and walks away unaided. others need more assistance. soldiers carry a makeshift stretcher to ferry an elderly woman to safety. president putin has said his army is not targeting civilians. but the exodus from irpin tells a different story. everyone steps in where they can, including us. an elderly woman calls out for help. clearly confused by the chaotic situation. i'll take one of her bags.
8:09 pm
so people are obviously incredibly affected by the situation, they're frightened. they're exhausted. they're on edge. they leave behind whatever they cannot carry with no sense of when they will return. a woman approaches, completely overcome. >> she said i'm afraid. >> reporter: for what, she cries. for what? this is just one suburb in one city that has felt the wrath of russia's onslaught. artillery, missiles, and fighter jets. the planes were flying and i just covered my ears, olga tells us. she is saying that now she doesn't even know where she's
8:10 pm
going to go next. she has lived in irpin for 45 years. it was so beautiful and now it's destroyed, she says. what are they trying to achieve? to bring us to our knees? but against all odds, ten days into this war, ukraine is still standing. a woman waits to be evacuated, trembling but resilient. we will overcome everything, she says. for the people of irpin, the journey is just beginning. they're loaded on to buses, to the train station. from there, they don't know where they will go. clarissa ward, cnn, irpin. >> now israeli prime minister neftali bennett meantime has flown back home following his surprise trip to moscow and berlin saturday. mr. bennett conducted a round of diplomacy in fact trying to play
8:11 pm
mediator in this war in ukraine. we have more now from jerusalem. >> reporter: this was an unannounced trip the israeli prime minister naftali bennett took to moscow saturday morning where he met with the russian president vladimir putin for three hours in the kremlin. the diplomatic push took place with the blessing of the u.s. administration, the prime minister's office said, and was also coordinated with france and germany. the ukrainian ambassador to israel told me the ukrainians were also given a heads up and were supportive of the meeting. bennett also spoke with the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy after the meeting took place bennett's office said. bennett immediately flew to berlin then when he met with the german chancellor olaf scholz. though his flight to moscow was a surprise it comes after a series of phone calls bennett has had with zelenskyy and putin the past couple weeks. zelenskyy has been asking the israelis to act as mediators because of israel's unique
8:12 pm
relationship with both countries. while israel has condemned russia's invasion and is providing humanitarian aid to ukraine, bennett himself has been avoiding direct criticism of russia or putin. israel has sought to maintain good relation ws russia because of russia's military presence in syria. israel needs russia's tacit approval to conduct air strikes against syria. though the pressure has been growing on israel to do more to help ukraine so far it is maintaining its position arguing it should be used to help find a solution. cnn, jerusalem. >> okay. a lot to get into here. for that we want to bring in cnn's political and national security analyst david sanger. really good to see you. i really think we need to drill down on these efforts to negotiate. at this point i will call them efforts and that's it. because all the parties have been pretty pessimistic about this so far. yet, is there anything in your
8:13 pm
view that a country like israel, the prime minister like naftali bennett can bring to the table at this point? >> we've seen two countries try other than the direct talks that took place with the united states and failed pretty quickly. the first was france and president macron thought that he was beginning to make some progress there. i think in retrospect we now look at those negotiations which happened before the invasion as an effort by president putin to look like he was reasonable, open to compromise but behind the scenes was just getting ready to go do what he did. the question with israel is, is this an effort by president putin to make the world think that he could still come up with a diplomatic solution that might end this kind of killing. and the answer so far has been he will not take a solution that
8:14 pm
results in russian troops pulling out before they've achieved their objective of replacing the government in ukraine and before they've gotten ukraine to agree essentially to come under the control of moscow the way belarus has for example. and i just don't see how bennett gets there. meanwhile he is under considerable criticism as you heard because israel has not taken much of a moral stance about what it is the russians are doing. they've taken a very interest based one, saying they need the russians' cooperation on syria. >> a difficult situation and yet that visit really did take many by surprise. i suppose as you say it kind of plays into putin's playbook here that he would take these visits, would take these suiters so to speak to come and speak to him and try and broker something.
8:15 pm
it is difficult to continually listen to these ukrainians desperately plead to the united states and others for help. it's not just, you know, president zelenskyy. it's everyone at this point. can you take us through what might be those trip wires that would almost certainly mean more u.s. involvement or involvement from the willing coalition here? that is short of course of an incursion into nato countries because we all know that gets to article 5 and the fact they would be compelled to act. do you see the u.s. getting further involved here and what would it take for that to happen? >> i could see them getting further involved and arranging for more arms but if by your question you mean could i see the united states getting directly involved? president biden has been pretty clear and consistent on that. >> so going back to fill in the
8:16 pm
blanks in terms of arms, yes they've been doing that. there is a discussion about doing a swap of fighter jets if you will, poland sends some. >> yes. >> that the ukrainian pilots could use and poland gets some from the united states in return. also the energy embargo. i interrupted you. go ahead. >> i'm glad you laid those three out. getting the polish sort of lend-lease plan here, giving the ukrainians more fixed wing aircraft, mostly old mig fighters poland has left over from the soviet era sounds good. we don't know if the polish are willing to go do it because it would be a number of years before they got back filled by the united states. just given the shortage of supply out there and of course what they'd be getting from the u.s. would be much more sophisticated american made fighter jets so there is some
8:17 pm
appeal in that for the polish government. i could see the united states at some point cutting off the oil exports or the u.s. imports directly from russia. those are relatively a small part of total u.s. imports and of course we are producing more. but if the issue is direct military involvement, i thought it was very telling that president biden would not even discuss doing this air cap basically making a no fly zone out of ukraine because he knew that that would lead to a contested air space in which u.s. pilots would be facing off against russian pilots. at that point whether you want to or not you are all in. >> cyber warfare. you have investigated this extensively for years. we are not at full on war here
8:18 pm
in a cyber sense. do you think that's coming from the russian side at least? >> i do. it takes a while to go arrange but if you think about it we have hurt their financial system dramatically, more dramatically than we thought we'd be able to by cutting off access to world markets. their only reach into america and europe's financial system is in a cyber way. that doesn't mean they are positioned to do it right now and their hands are full but the moment for that disruption is going to come. >> yeah. and certainly many governments including the united states have been warning both private and public sector folks to be prepared. thanks a lot. a lot of fascinating developments there. glad you were able to weigh in. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. now people fleeing the war in ukraine often arrive at refugee centers with little more than the clothes on their back. coming up we take a look at the
8:19 pm
volunteers, so many of them now, who work tirelessly to give some degree of comfort.
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
the humanitarian crisis is
8:23 pm
growing as waves of people try to escape russia's invasion. now according to the u.n. more than 1.3 million refugees have now fled ukraine. at this train station in lviv people are braving freezing temperatures in hopes of making it to safety in a neighboring country. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken visited a refugee center in poland saturday and tried to reassure people the u.s. does have ukraine's back. >> what ukrainians are doing is inspiring the world. and the world is united in support of ukraine and against russia's aggression. and we are working very closely with our polish friends. >> now with thousands fleeing across the border every day it's taking an army of volunteers to try and help them. cnn's sara sidner takes a look
8:24 pm
at their efforts at a refugee camp in poland. >> reporter: this is a refugee camp about 20 minutes' drive from the border between poland and ukraine where a lot of people fleeing the war end up after they've crossed over the border. they get into transportation and end up here trying to figure out their next moves. so the fact that there are thousands of people coming through here every day, there have been hundreds of volunteers that have turned up to try and give them some comfort. these gentlemen are using something from a 1950s to make a very delicious soup, sour soup is what they call it. and they have been working on that. you have a gentleman over here with hot drinks. you also have people who have donated. there is a whole box of toys that kids keep coming up and digging through to the bottom trying to figure out their favorite thing because remember,
8:25 pm
people left their homes in a panic. many of them bringing only a small back pac or carrying just a small bag trying to get away from the war. you're also seeing a lot of different kinds of food. things people can take with them. and people have donated. they have donated all manner of things because it is frigid. it is very, very cold. we're seeing things like blankets and little jackets here for children. but all day and all night we're seeing people flood in here, coming on these huge buses that one might think are tourists but these are the world's newest war refugees coming from ukraine. >> so many lives upended there. thanks to cnn's sara sidner. coming up, scenes of resistance as russian troops push further into ukraine. we'll give you the latest next.

8:29 pm
welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton. our breaking news continues this hour as ukrainian officials accuse russia of shelling evacuation routes out of two heavily battered cities. they say thousands of civilians are still trapped in the southeastern cities of mariupol after moscow brokered a temporary -- broke a temporary cease fire agreement to allow safe passage out.
8:30 pm
the atomic energy agency says nuclear officials are in contact with staff at the zaporizhzhia power plant after it was seized by russian troops on friday. you remember the dramatic exchange there. the head of the agency calls the situation still tense but says workers are now allowed to change shifts following reports they had been forced to work at gun point. he says the situation should not last too long. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken met with ukraine's foreign minister on saturday who is demanding a new round of sanctions against russia. it comes the same day that president vladimir putin warned sanctions imposed on russia are equivalent to a declaration of war. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy spoke with u.s. lawmakers as well on saturday asking for a no fly zone in the skies over ukraine. of course more military support. he also spoke with president joe biden for just over a half an
8:31 pm
hour and as the fighting presses on across the nation mr. zelenskyy is urging people do not give up. >> ukraine which we know, love, and protect will not give up to any enemy. when you don't have a firearm but they respond with gunshots and you don't run this is the reason why occupation is temporary. our people, ukrainians, don't back down. >> now, russian advances on ukraine's black sea coast are being met with defiance by so many survives. fears are growing that at any moment russia could intensify its attacks. cnn's nick payton walsh reports. some of the images you are about to see are graphic. >> significant developments along the black sea coast where i am standing, specifically to the east in kherson that is the city russia first claimed it had control of but it didn't like the case today when we saw
8:32 pm
significant numbers of protesters on the street demanding that the russians leave. now, this is important because we had imagined according to ukrainian official statements that we might see some sort of bid by russia to create a synthetic counternarrative where they get locals on the streets to support their presence app be provide them aid. instead today we see a large number of locals coming out and asking the russians to not be there. that is tiff for moscow going forward because they had it seemed believed they would be able to encourage locals to be on their side when they moved in. very different story in the next port city to the west. we were there today and spoke to the regional head and he said they didn't need anything apart from the west apart from weapons. they wanted to continue to fight and they felt very convinced that despite the fact they were facing a russian force that was technically superior they had better motivation and would never let those forces take the
8:33 pm
important bridges in mykolaiv. civilian casualties at a nearby hospital, the elderly brought in, a lot with head injuries, the result of some shelling that hit part of the civilian areas there just part of the clear evidence we see all the time that russia's promise it is not targeting civilians is nonsense. still here in odesa the long, broadening fear that this will essentially lead to pressure in odesa which results in some sort of broad military move against this, the third largest city in ukraine and the most important port that it has. >> thanks to nick payton walsh there. the international monetary fund says the war in ukraine and the sanctions on russia will have a severe impact on the global economy, countries with close economic ties to russia also at risk for shortages and supply
8:34 pm
disruptions. this could impact latin america where vladimir putin has tried to strengthen russia's influence in recent years. >> when russia's deputy prime minister visited venezuela last month he was given the red carpet treatment and welcomed at the presidential palace. he referred to russians as our brothers and described his country's relationship with russia in glowing terms. before having his oil minister sign multiple agreement including topics of mutual interest including military cooperation. he promised to help in the fight against external meddling. the top russian official would later make stops in nicaragua and cuba part of a latin american tour to strengthen relations in the weeks before russia's invasion of ukraine. as expected once the investigations started, he sided with russia. look at what they are doing with
8:35 pm
russia. it is a crime what they are doing with the russian people. they kicked them out of s.w.i.f.t. they closed the air base, they shut down commercial links and prohibited access to the dollar. what they are doing with russia is madness he said. but some venezuelans took to the streets in the first days of the invasion to denounce it defying the position and telling the world the venezuelan leader doesn't speak for them. in the more than two decades vladimir putin has been in power his government has tried to forge alliances with several countries in latin america showing his political and financial muscle in an apparent effort to tell the international community that russia is not isolated and that it has partners around the world. >> at the same time putin's prime minister was shaking hands in latin america the russian leader was greeting the brazilian president last month in moscow. and in early february argentinian president fernando said russia should be latin
8:36 pm
america's alternative to the united states and imf when it comes to finding sources of funding and credit. we have to see which way argentina can become the entry way for russia to enter latin america fernando said. brazil's bolsonaro said the invasion is no massacre and mere russian propaganda by adding putin is only protecting two regions in ukraine seeking independence. even though mexico voted in favor of condemning the invasion of the u.n. general assembly last week the president said his government won't impose any sanctions on russia. we want to maintain good relations with all countries in the world the leftist leader sate. cnn, atlanta. the sports world is taking new action to punish russia for the invasion of ukraine. coming up next the latest ban

8:40 pm
now we're tracking the aftermath of a deadly tornado in the u.s. midwest. look at that. terrifying images show a massive twister churning across iowa. officials say the storm killed at least six people. it hit south of des moines on saturday and at least four other people have serious injuries. the national weather service estimates the storm was in fact an f-3 tornado which means severe damage as you see it there. there are more concerns over u.s. basketball star and two-time olympic gold medalist
8:41 pm
britney griner after she was arrested in moscow. they say they found cannabis in her luggage. the "new york times" says they say drug sniffing dogs were involved. she could face ten years in prison under russian law. starting on monday russia and belarus are banned from international gymnastics. that includes athletes, judges, and other officials from both countries. the decision from the sports governing body is just the latest ban since russian forces gathered in belarus and invaded ukraine. it comes nearly a week after russian figure skaters were barred from international competitions. christine brennan is a cnn sports analyst and columnist for "usa today" and joins me now from washington, d.c. i can't thank you enough for taking us through what has been a lot of sports news relate today our breaking news every day as we've been going through this. i want to go first to britney
8:42 pm
griner. incredibly delicate situation. it is hard to know how political it could be. what have you heard in terms of u.s. officials trying to help her and protect her? >> this story is really troubling and the fact that she was detained in february several weeks ago and we're finally hearing it about it now is one of the big questions. how did that happen? how was this not detected sooner that the united states media didn't find out sooner but this is a situation and it is very concerning. she obviously is a big man as you mentioned two oim olympic gold medalist, one of the stars of the wnba. all of these players or most of the wnba players go overseas to play in the off-season and make more money. that is apparently what she was doing. great concern. obviously throw in the fact of putin's invasion of ukraine and it probably heightens that level
8:43 pm
of concern even more. the good thing is people know. authorities in the united states know, wnba, lawyers, they're on the case. a lot of questions and true uncertainty about the whereabouts and the status of one of america's top female sports stars >> doesn't make counselor services for her any easier when this stuff is going on when you have such a conflict and obviously obviously griner's family must be so concerned. sports has taken such a center stage in this conflict, right, in unprecedented ways really. what's changed here? you pointed out in a recent column that the russian skaters that were banned, it wasn't for doping what you usually cover unfortunately but because of war. >> that's right. i think what we've seen is as much as we hope sports are an
8:44 pm
escape for society, a chance to unwind and enjoy the fun and games we would hope and expect on the playing fields, they are now a much more reflection of our society and that of course has just been rocked by the russian invasion of ukraine and russia's war with ukraine and the horrors we are seeing play out on cnn and anywhere else you look or read. the sports world is part of that world. a perfect example is the paralympic games. going on right now in beijing. originally they said they'd allow the russian and belarusan athletes to compete as neutral athletes. there was such an outcry and about boycotts, potentially walkouts, the athletes from other nations saying they would not participate if russia was
8:45 pm
allowed and that is when the russians and belarusans were banned from the paralympic games. that shows everyone the mindset here. while it is tough for the russian athletes who may have done nothing wrong the fact is there are so many others who don't want to participate with them at this point because of the horrors of what we're seeing in ukraine. >> one, they are not politicians, right, they're athletes. that is one issue. the other issue is this is putin's war. and in canceling russians is that really fair? as we both know sometimes even athletes playing around the world are not free to speak out. many times they have family back home and they are afraid of the consequences. >> that is true. we're seeing that with the nhl players here in the united states. alex ovechkin has been caught in
8:46 pm
the cross fire of this for sure and the nhl players are some of the only russian players still competing because the ban is so widespread. it is understandable and sad that athletes would be caught in this this is your reality when you have something as terrible and devastating as what putin has unleashed in the ukraine. the sports world does react. i think of a generation or two ago the south african athletes not able to compete because of apartheid and the bans on south africa around the world from so many nations concerned about apartheid. eventually, things changed. those athletes then were allowed to compete again. we've seen boycotts in the olympic games. athletes are often caught in the cross hairs. we would hope sports could be free, a space of safety away
8:47 pm
from politics. that is not the case with olympic games or with really anything. the reality is these athletes are part of the story sadly and again the doping i think one reason so many people, some of these athletes in sports are so willing to ban the russians is because of doping. what was the big story at the olympic games a couple weeks ago? russian doping. now the russians are out of the figure skating world championships, out of gymnastics, banned in hockey. also putin cares about sports. some would think maybe he would look up and say hey, this would register for him because he loves sports so much and that is taken away of course from him and his country men and women. >> one knows he will blame others for that and certainly not in any way, shape, or form implicate himself. we will continue to follow the story because it is so intertwined with sports now unfortunately. for many of those athletes.
8:48 pm
thanks so much for taking us through. really appreciate it. >> thank you. now there have been shows of solidarity, right, across the world for ukraine. and this weekend clubs in the english premier league were putting aside their differences in support of the country. the message emblazened across stadiums is as clear as defiant. football is standing together. >> once again the english premier league poignant show of solidarity for ukraine before all matches on full display this weekend. liverpool fans singing their famous anthem you'll never walk alone. quite the fitting tribute ahead of the red's league victory over
8:49 pm
west ham. it was emulated at each of the ten matches this weekend. screens reading football stands together as they take part of the moment. the league using its global platform to send a call for peace. defending champions manchester city play later on sunday but the club particularly in the spotlight with their ukrainian defender, sharing his pride in his nation saying how hard it is to watch the people in his homeland fight for their lives and that they'll never give up. the 25-year-old taking comfort in the overwhelming support he has felt in england. >> even apart from the club people here when i'm walking on the street the little guys maybe 10 years old from the school come to me and say we pray for
8:50 pm
your country. my tears is coming from my eyes straight away. everyone feels in ukraine that all the world is standing with us. >> you might remember the scenes from last weekend when the crowd gave him an impromptu standing ovation which brought the ukrainian player to tears. we should city hoegs united in the big manchester derby later on sunday. >> our thanks to patrick snell there. protesters are taking to the streets across europe, as well, to send a message about the war in ukraine. >> more sanctions for russia! more sanctions for russia! > . >> how protesters build a human chain between russian and ukrainian diplomatic offices to make their point.
