iversal orlando. let yourself woah! immerse yourself in the thrills with a hotel and ticket package from $89 per person, per night. restrictions apply. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from all around the world. i'm michael holmes here in lviv, ukraine, with the breaking news this hour. and we're learning that much of the ukrainian tank factory has been leveled after russian strikes merchandise this is about some 85 miles west of kyiv. the area has seen intense shelling in recent days. and a new video just coming in from a city on the outskirts of kyiv. you see jets there flying overhead, and then a massive explosion with plumes of black
11:01 pm
smoke following -- billowing from the rubble there. needless to say the massive bombardment caused incredible damage, many buildings going up in flames. all of this as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy urges his people to keep up the resistance against the russian onslaught. >> translator: 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, this comes as the temporary cease-fire in parts of eastern ukraine to let civilians get to safety is now on hold after allegations russian fighters violated the agreements of that cease-fire. russia blames ukraine. and that ukrainian resistance, indeed, being seen in actions both by the civilian population and its military. cnn's arlette saenz with that.
11:02 pm
>> reporter: tonight new images emerging from the battle front. ukrainian armed forces releasing this video of the moments they say they shot down a russian helicopter. the fire engulfed aircraft hurtling towards the ground. here another russian aircraft, a fighter jet, falls from the sky. the ukrainian military says it took down the plane, smoke billowing in its wake as it crashed into a residential neighborhood about 90 miles from kyiv. the ukrainian emergency services says these are the remains of the jet, bombs undesinated mere steps from homes. the scenes of war. a war ukrainians continue to fight with limited help from western allies. in a zoom call with u.s. lawmakers ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy calling for greater military assistance including the transfer of fighter jets from eastern european countries and the establishment of a no-fly zone.
11:03 pm
the u.s. and nato still resisting such a move, warning it could prompt a full-scale war in europe. >> a no-fly zone might be just a bridge too far and not willing to take that type of risk right now. it's something that could really escalate to nuclear war. >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin declaring that any country or organization implementing a no-fly zone would be considered participate. >> in the conflict. and as ukraine pushes for more sanctions, putin stating the sanctions already imposed on his country are equivalent to a declaration of war against russia. on the ground in ukraine a show of solidarity from the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken side by side with the ukrainian foreign minister on the polish border. >> and as to the pressure on russia, not only is it unprecedented, not only is it producing very, very concrete results in russia, but that
11:04 pm
pressure, too, will not only continue, it will grow until this war is brought to an end. >> reporter: israeli prime minister naphatali bennett today also speaking to phone to zelenskyy after a face-to-face meeting withputep in moskow. meanwhile one senior intelligence officer warns russia now seems prepared to bombard cities into submission. with u.s. officials saying russia prepared to deploy 1,000 more mercenaries in the near future. but with the war in its tenth day stories of ukrainian bravery in the face of russian aggression continue to spread. watch as a man jumps on top of a russian armored vehicle waving a ukrainian flag. and sounds of gunfire in a small town in north eastern ukraine as unarmed protesters stood their ground. and this chilling video a man in the front of the crowd appears
11:05 pm
to be shot in the street. another video shows protesters scattering as a barrage of gunfire rings out. tonight ukraine's foreign minister with a new message for putin. >> putin, leave ukraine alone. you will not win this war. >> reporter: arlette saenz, cnn. now, the united nations gravely concerned about the situation here in ukraine and is receiving increasing reports of civilian casualties perhaps unsurprisingly seeing the munitions being dropped all over this country. the u.n. says at least 331 civilians have been killed, 675 wounded since russia launched its invagsion on february 24. and of that total 19 ukrainian children have been killed. they also note the actual numbers likely to be much higher than that. many others rushing to get out
11:06 pm
of the country while they still can. cnn's clarissa ward was in a city where many of the evacuees were visibly shaken as they escape their war torn home for an uncertain future. >> reporter: for several days the city has been pummelled 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 the ukrainians to prevent russian forces from getting into the city center. now it's 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 people just desperately trying to cross to safety.
11:07 pm
natalia tells us she was injured just 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 here 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. we take one of her bags. so people are obviously incredibly affected by this
11:08 pm
situation. they're frightened. they're exhausted. they're on edge. they leave behind whatever they cannot carry. no sense of when they will return. a woman approaches completely overcome. she said i'm afraid. for what, she cries. for what? this is just one suburb in one city that's 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's saying that now she doesn't even know where she's going to go next. she has lived here for 45 years.
11:09 pm
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 this city the journey is just beginning. they're loaded onto buses to the train station. from there we don't know where they will go. clarissa ward, cnn. all right, i want to bring in military analyst peter leighton for some perspective of russia emphasis invasion of this country. he joins us now from cambra in australia. i think a lot of people thought somehow russia was a formidable
11:10 pm
army that would overwhelm ukraine in days. what is your analysis of russia's strength and planning and execution so far? >> yes, certainly, all of us thought the modern russian army, the modern russian defense forces were 10 foot tall. so over the last ten years president putin has invested significant money ipit. however, to a certain extent this is the wrong war in the wrong place with the wrong army. the russian defense forces have this -- have this doctrine of how to overthrow government, and i think they convinced themselves that ukraine was a suitable target. what they didn't realize was that ukraine was a very strong country in an identity sense. so that since 2014 when the russians first took crimea, ukraine has got stronger internally. so rather than the russian army turning up and if you like knocking on the door and taking
11:11 pm
over the country almost with a bloodless coup, instead the ukrainians fought back and fought back hard. and then that sort of played to another modern russian army weakness. sorry? >> yeah, no, go ahead. tell me what that is. >> and the other modern russian army weakness is the modern russian army doctrine is not to invade other countries but is in fact a form of active defense. that is lets opponents attack russia just like napoleon did and just like hitler did and try and space the time so they would do a fighting withdrawal. so the modern russian army doesn't have all the defensive systems necessary into a well defended country. so you've got the wrong arm wae with the wrong doctrine. and the intelligence and the hubris of the russian leadership
11:12 pm
was indeed staggering. they got themselves in a bad situation. but russian doctrine might tell us a little bit about where they'll go next. >> you know, all great points and the other thing that's significant is they seem to have gotten logistics terribly wrong, resupply, how they move things around, what sort of things they need to move around. i want to ask you, though, when it comes to leadership putin is not one to back down or even to be seen to be backing down. does that pose a threat if he is feeling cornered, his propensity in other conflicts to go scorched earth as u.s. and nato intelligence suggests could be coming up here? >> yes. i think that that plays against those previous weaknesses that we -- that we spoke about. the russian army's fighting, this is very heavy going. so they're likely to encircle the city and inflict tremendous damage using artillery at bombing range, rockets and
11:13 pm
missiles and these weapons also called vacuum weapons. that plays in a bit to the -- to the russian liking of using firepower these days rather than man power. and the russian army has trouble finding people, of course. because while they have conscription, you certainly need to -- to train up soldiers first. and you have a country 44 million people facing an invading army of 200,000, the whole thing doesn't sort of add up. but i know that very early on at the start of this that presidentpute says the aim was to demilitarize and denaziify the ukraine. so it's possible that at this stage realizing he cannot take over control of the country, and as you just said he's very stubborn and can't see very many ways out that a campaign of mass destruction if you like would satisfy that means, that ambition of demilitarization.
11:14 pm
he might feel having reduced ukraine to ashes, he could then leave. >> yeah. in order to save the country i will destroy the country. a variation on that old vietnam saying. you make great points. and after the taking of territory, of course, then needs to be the holding of territory. and as you mentioned that is not going to be a pliant population. is that going to be a problem for the russians? >> i don't see how that could possibly hold the ukraine. at best from where they are at the moment they may be able to keep what they have now and to treat them like the donbas was, a frozen conflict for years and years. but against that pretty much the whole world are willing to supply ukraine with money and arms, so i think that rather an insurgency probably just a
11:15 pm
grumbling war, if you like. bear in mind when you talk occupation there's something else that goes along with that. if the russians occupy ukraine, they have to start feeding the people. that's part -- that is part of an occupying pow's duties. now, feeding say 20 or 30 million people in your newly occupied area would be a monumental battle, and as you said the russians have had a lot of trouble simply just supplying shells and fuel to their own soldiers. their own solevers have been going hungry. so the whole thing look like descending into craziness if you like. >> a terrific analysis. love to continue this another time. we'll have to get you back. peter leighton, thanks so much. >> thank you much for having me. all right, well, over a million refugees have now fled ukraine, well over a million. just ahead on "cnn newsroom," how governments around the world

welcome back. the humanitarian crisis growing in ukraine, waves of people trying to reescape russia's invasion. at a train station in west lviv people braving freezing temperatures in hopes of making it to safety in a neighboring country. and governments around the world stepping up to offer them help. cnn's ivan watson with more from maldova. >> reporter: they are the world's newest refugees, ukrainians fleeing en masse from the russian invasion of their country. the united nations says more than 1.3 million ukrainians have crossed the country's borders in the last week and a half. more than half of them traveling to neighboring poland, and that's where the u.s. secretary of state was on saturday trying to send a message of support to some refugees that he met with on the border. >> what ukrainians are doing is -- is inspiring the world.
11:21 pm
and the world is united in support of ukraine and against russia's aggression. and we are working very closely with our polish friends. >> reporter: hundreds of thousands of other ukrainians have come to other neighboring countries, and we have recently traveled through slovakia, hungary, romania and now maldova. and everywhere in the border regions you can see you cranians on the move. they're almost always women with children. they're in the train stations, in airports, sleeping on the floor, in hotels, in guesthouses. the populations of these neighboring countries have largely opened their arms to the displaced ukrainians. the governments as well providing free transport, warmth, food, even donated toys to give some sense of normalcy to the children. here in maldova there is an
11:22 pm
extra sense of vulnerability to this new conflict because maldova, the government, it shutdown its airspace on the first day of the russian invasion fearing that civilian aviation could be somehow damaged by the conflict. and there is no real air access in and out of this former soviet republic, so ukrainians are largely traveling through maldova to neighboring romania. there are backups at the border, and some maldovens who are spooked by the conflict have also started to move away from here, clearly nervous that their country could become the next target of the russian military. ivan watson, cnn. >> now, in an alarming new warning the u.n.'s childrens fund has told cnn that time is running out for ukrainian
11:23 pm
children to escape, to get out of here. a spokesperson for unicef says humanitarian assistance and access is increasingly becoming a matter of life and death and said the situation is getting worse with every passing moment. >> yes, absolutely. and it's already run out for those children who have been killed in these bombardments. you know, getting that humanitarian access in is fundamentally critical, but opening up those corridors so those people can leave, the people you see and your viewers have seen mothers and children fundamentally have to leave, i mean they do everything they can, you know, moms to keep a child safe. but i'm talking to moms who spend nights lie on top of their children not just to keep them warm but they think that's an extra layer of protection. in this madness they have to be given safe passage out of there, but of course for all those others who can't leave, the conflict has to stop, the
11:24 pm
missiles have to stop. >> organizations around the world and on the ground here in ukraine are trying to help those who need food, shelter, water and other assistance. for more information about how you can help if you wish, head to cnn.com/impact. and our breaking news coverage continues right here on cnn. after the break, scenes of defiant resistance as russian troops push further into ukraine. that's coming up. also countries around the world lashing out at moskow's latest efforts to bully the media and silence dissent. we'll be right back. to a job that feels like home. with home instead, you too can become a caregiver to older adults. apply today. getting the incredible iphone 13 without t-mobile, makes as much sense - as playing hide-in-seek... - ready or not, here i come. ...in the desert. real guys? mobile has more 5g bars in more places. and now,hen you switch, you can get iphone 13 on us at t-mobile.

agency says that ukrainian nuclear officials are in contact with staff at the nuclear power plant after it was seized by russian troops on friday. this coming as the russian military strikes leveled part of a ukrainian tank factory. this is just outside the city. the video published on social media on saturday showing the damage there. you can see for yourself. and another video captured by reuters showing several fires in and around the city near the capital of kyiv. artillery and air strikes causing extensive damage to buildings, roads and bridges. meanwhile, ukrainian officials say thousands of civilians are still trapped in the south eastern cities of mariopol after russia preached a temporary cease-fire agreement. ukrainian president volodymyr
11:29 pm
zelenskyy. >> translator: tie scream at occupants to go home-like the russian battleship, pushing the occupants out of our territory, block their way, every meter of our ukrainian land re-claimed by protests is step forward, a step toward victory. >> russian advances on ukraine's black seacoast are being met with defiance by many civilians, but fears are growing at any moment russia could intensify those attacks. cnn's nick paten walsh reports, and we must warn you some of the images you're about to see are disturbing. >> significant developments along the black seacoast where i'm standing now. specifically to the east in hersan that is a city russia
11:30 pm
first claimed it had control of, but it didn't look like the case today when we saw 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 we might see some sort of bid by russia to create a synthetic counter narrative where they'll get locals out on the streets to support their presence and provide them with aid. instead today we've seen a large number of locals coming out and asking the russians to not be there. that's difficult, frankly, for moskow 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. we spoke to the regional head, and he said he didn't need anything from the west apart from weapons. they want 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
11:31 pm
better motivation, and they would never let those forces take the important bridges in that city. all the same, though, civilian casualties very visible for us at a nearby hospital. the elderly it seemed brought in a lot of them with head injuries, the result of some shelling that had hit part of the civilian areas there, just part of the clear evidence we see all the time that russia's promise it's not targeting civilians is nonseps. and still here in odesa, the broad widening fear all this military activity along the black seacoast by russia is essentially going to 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. >> all right, let's bring in arena, she emigrated from russia to the u.k. in 2014 and now an associate professor at the university of birmingham in
11:32 pm
england. thanks for being with us. i wanted to speak to you because you write so eloquently in "the new york times" about how as a russian as you put it this war is not in my name. putin stole your language to make a false case for war. how important was it for you as a russian to publicly and forcefully make that point? >> thanks, michael, for inviting me. i had to say this word is not in my name and this woar is not in the name of many russians. and also as an academic i have seen over the ten last years the rise of nationalism in russia. and this heartless aggression is -- >> as you know more than anyone the problem inside russia is because of the state media stranglehold on the narrative.
11:33 pm
most russians don't even know what's going on, not fully. can you see that changing, though? do you hear of word spreading? >> the word is spreading. so people use alternative social media and alternative sources of information to know what's going on. and also many russians have relatives and friends in ukraine who sent them videos and who tells them what is going on the ground. as you know many people protest. 8,000 russians have been detained protests and now it's become dangerous because people could be sent to prison for several years for that. some people repeat after putin they left us no choice, and some people still try to distance themselves and avoid talking politics and trying just to stock on essentials. >> you also said in that piece
11:34 pm
and quoting you now, "step by step we've seen the denial and attempted erasure of historical truths." how do russians distort that, push back on the distortions and lies? >> it's difficult at this moment since -- have been liquidated by russia. it's hard to operate when the freedom of expression -- so much misinformation has spread. >> you're not in russia but you do go there, and, you know, people who speak against the kremlin often face consequences. do you worry about yourself when you go back being vocal as you are? >> i worry about it.
11:35 pm
i really feel as an immigrant now. i don't know when i'll be able to come back. and also many russians want to leave the country because they worry about the future. >> there's been a lot of talk about vladimir putin's state of mind, he's perhaps paranoid, isolated. the way he rules, would there be anyone in the kremlin, in the inner circle who could or would dare say no to him, that, mr. president, this is bad idea? >> i'm not a political scientist so i don't know what to say about that. i studied live experience of ordinary people. and i know as long as he stays,
11:36 pm
you know, as much disaster we'll see in ukraine, in russia, in europe. and it's a danger for democracy around all the globe as well. >> yeah, yeah. that's a really good point. i think this could be, in fact, likely will be a long and costly war for russia on more than one front. and sort of suppressing the will of the ukrainian people is going to be pretty much impossible. when do the costs at home in russia, the effects of those sanctions on ordinary russians -- when might that get to the point where, you know, people might rise up or become more coordinated in their opposition where putin's position might be threatened? >> you can see already protests have been suspended because of what started. so i think we will see it worse than it was in the beginning.
11:37 pm
>> yeah, finish your thought. sorry. >> yes. i just wanted to say i know that in ukraine -- and just want to say we started this displacement from 2014 and over a million and a half people have been displaced in ukraine. and seeing the excellent humanitarian response from here and the united states, i just want everyone to remember this war will have a lot of impact on families and people who have been displaced internally and internationally from ukraine. and then we have seen that xenophobia was rising in many parts of europe and hope this moment of solidarity and unity resets the minds of refugees
11:38 pm
across the globe. >> a powerful message. i'm glad we were able to speak. thanks so much, and you can check out her op-ed in "the new york times." thank you very much. >> thank you very much, michael. all right, quick break. when we come pack, fighting continues in ukraine, and many people desperate, of course, to evacuate including foreign students trying to get back to their home countries. we'll have details on that after the break. like $0 copays on virtual visits... - wow! - uh-huh. ...$0 copays on primary care visits... ...and lab tests. - wow. - uh-huh. plus, $0 copays on tier 1 & tier 2 prerescription drugs. - wow. - uh-huh. unitedhealthcare medicare advantage plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. most plans have a $0 premium. take advantage now. wow!

11:42 pm
stranded in ukraine. countries facing the dpiflt task of evacuating their citizens from a war zone. but many students and foreign nationals in ukraine have already made the terrifying choice to leave on their own, joining the mass scramble of ukrainians on trains, taxis, buses and often on foot heading to ukraine's borders to escape the violence. from there several countries are coordinating flights out of the region. this relieved student says it was an exhausting journey, but crossing into romania was the hardest part. >> the bus couldn't get to the border because of the lines queuing up so we had to get down and walk for two hours to get to the border with our bags, and we had to stand about 14 hours in the cold waiting for them to open the gate. >> many students said they stayed as long as they could, some in underground bunkers until conditions on the ground forced them to leave. >> there were a lot of heavy artillery, missiles, bombs. we had to leave because we couldn't stay there. no one could stay there. it was really dangerous.
11:43 pm
>> bear hugs and tears greet these evacuees in ecuador. relatives say it's been a long and anxious wait for this plane carrying many students arrive. many uncle says his nephew told him bombs were falling and the family said they worried they would never see him again. some students from africa and asia say they were forced to wait or were turned away at checkpoints while ukrainians were allowed to pass. >> mostly they would consider white people first, white people, indian people, arab people before black people. >> reporter: ukraine's foreign ministry denied the allegations on twitter saying it's a first come first served approach at the border and the u-innian governor in the past week helped 130,000 foreigners leave the country. at least one says he's delaying his trip home choosing to stay at the border and help others
11:44 pm
just as they helped him. >> i'm not ukrainian but i've decided to help and show people kindness. everybody needs to help, everybody. we need to coordinate. this is the message. >> students from india are asking to be rescued after getting stranded in ukraine. they're trapped in a city about 50 kilometers from the russian border. and they say food is starting to get scarce and water, electricity and heat being out. so why can't they get out, and what's being done to help them? >> this is an area that's seeing a lot of attacks, bombings and shelling. so this city is where we have about 700 indian nationals, indian students that study at the universities. they're currently hungering down in bunkers every time the siren goes off. now, as far as the indian officials are concerned, they
11:45 pm
did address a press conference on the situation in ukraine and their evacuation program that's been going on for a while. according to the indian officials who are addressing the press conference more than 20,000 indians have crossed out of ukraine ever since they issued the first advisory. i'm talking about the indian embassy issuing that first advisory a couple weeks back. these students are in their hosh hostels and the indian government has asked hem to not move out. on saturday a dozen or more students came out their hostel and they standed outside and they recorded a video where they said they're desperate to move out, fear for their lives and if the indian government does not evacuate them in the coming hours they're weighing option of walking to the russian border. let's listen in to what these
11:46 pm
students had to say. >> we are risking our life and we are just going to this border and this is our last request and last video, guys. just pray for us and please let you guys know. this is our last video. >> according to the indian government they cannot pull these students out just yet because of the situation around. they're reaching out to the russian authorities as well as ukrainian authorities over and over again through multiple channels to ask for a local cease-fire so they can pull out these students. like i said at the beginning of this conversation with you over 20,000 indians have already moved out from the ukrainian borders and now the focus is on the city for the indian authorities. it's the matter of time is what they're saying. they're waiting for the situation to get a bit better before their next move, kim. >> all right, let's hope they can get out.

i'm michael holmes live from lviv in ukraine. it is the no unusual for the russian president, vladimir putin, to lambast countries opposed to his war in ukraine. but on saturday, he took that to a whole new level, equating their sanctions against russia with a military action, have a listen. >> translator: bhumuch of what are seeing is a way of fighting russia. the sanctions being introduced, they are equivalent to a declaration of war. thank god this hasn't happened
11:52 pm
yet. >> but why does putin believe that economic penalties equal war? susan glasser, who wrote a book about russia under putin, explained it this way. >> these economic sanctions are devastating. they are the equivalent of blowing up the russian economy in ways that will have catastrophic impacts and already are in that society. and so, you know, in many ways it is tantamount to war. >> credit card companies, visa and mastercard, say they're suspending all operations and transactions in russia. both companies citing the invasion of ukraine as the reason for that move. they say cards issued by russian banks will no longer be supported by their networks, and cards issued outside the country won't work at russian merchants or atms. major oil companies are feeling the economic pressure both in russia and beyond. russia's second-largest oil

firm, luke oil, is breaking ranks and calling for an end of the war. while shell is under fire after buying a cargo of crude oil from russia at a significant discount, decision that was slammed by ukraine's foreign minister. shell says it was bound to make the purchase under a previous contract. the company has now pledged to work with humanitarian agencies and donate profits to those affected by the conflict. the pressure on the oil industry is leading to soaring fuel prices in the u.s. and elsewhere. americans seeing the largest price hikes since hurricane katrina slammed into the u.s. gulf coast in 2005. one analyst says the cost of a gallon of gas is now out of control. cnn's camilla denal reports from los angeles.
11:54 pm
>> reporter: these prices continue to go up, and we're just cents away from that national average being $4 a gallon. experts believe we could get there just in the next couple of days because of the increases that we have already been seeing. here in california, the average above $5 a gallon. in los angeles, there are some gas stations where the situation is even worse. at the gas station where i am right now, a regular gallon of gas is $6.95, for premium, $7.55. as this crisis in ukraine continues, it could continue to increase. ever since the invasion of russia in ukraine, we've seen those prices go up by 37 cents just in the last two days. we've seen a 19-cent increase in the last two days. so that's what people are worried about. because this is obviously affecting everyday americans.
11:55 pm
for example, rideshare drivers, they are greatly impacted. i spoke to one of them, benjamin balldes, he says this increase in places for him makes a huge difference. >> i was putting in probably around $60 for a full tank. and now it's climbed up to about $90. so it's getting up there. >> if i drive 200 miles, i'm spending $50 in gas. if i make $150 to $200 that night, i'm putting at least one-third of expense in gas alone. >> reporter: it's not just him. i talked to many rideshare drivers who told me other drivers they know have been quitting over the last couple of months, and they say this is the final straw. but it's not just the rideshare drivers, it's the taxi drivers, the truckers, and everyday americans. anyone who gets in a car who has a commute will notice the difference, and unfortunately, the situation could get worse. camilla bernal, cnn, los
