>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello and a very warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm isa soares with more of our breaking coverage on the war in ukraine. civilians across the country are facing a growing humanitarian crisis as stark as well as disturbing images show the harsh reality on the ground. but in just the last two hours, the russian defense ministry said it is opening humanitarian corridors from four ukrainian cities. you can see there on the your map including kyiv, mariupol. civilians passing through a checkpoint manned by ukrainian forces. we have seen people including children walking through on foot. who knows really how long they have been walking. we've seen them pack buses,

emptying where you are looking without knowing where they are heading off. we'll keep on top of those images for you. meanwhile, this video, excuse me, shows a russian missile roaring towards the airport southwest of the capital kyiv. ukraine's president says the airport is destroyed. intense russian shelling has also hit the town on the outskirts of kyiv. eight civilians were killed during evacuation efforts. some of our viewers may find the next video hard to watch because it captures the moment a russian military strike targets irpin, killing a family. [ speaking foreign language ]

>> stay there! >> medic! >> you hear them calling medic, medic. absolutely terrifying. that strike just one of many launched by russia as it ramps up its attacks on ukrainian cities. still in negotiations between ukraine and russia continue with a third round of talks aimed at extending hostilities expected today. since the start of the invasion, russia has fired 600 missile. that is according to a senior u.s. defense official who says

moscow has 95% of its amassed power inside ukraine. president volodymyr zelenskyy says sanctions aren't enough to stop russia, and vladimir putin who accuses of planning deliberate murder. have a listen. >> translator: it seems it is not enough for the russian troops, not enough ruined destinies, crippled lives. they want to kill more. for tomorrow russia is officially announced in our territory, our defense facilities. most of them were built decades ago under the soviet government. they were built in cities, and now they are in the urban setting where dozens of people work and hundreds of thousands live nearby. this is murder, deliberate murder. >> u.s. officials say there are urgent discussions underway with allies, as ukraine pleads for more help. secretary of state antony blinken says the u.s. is in talks with poland about the possibility of sending fighter jets to ukraine.

>> we are working with poland as we speak to see if we can backfill anything that they provide to the ukraines. we support them. mig-sus, planes ukrainians can fly. >> they are tracking developments from across the globe. natasha bertrand is following european reaction from brussels. reports from jerusalem on the arrival of refugees. and new delhi, monitoring the polite of indian students trapped in ukraine, and nick payton walsh will join us on the latest of the situation of odessa. first let's go to scott mclean on the polish/ukrainian border. scott, give us a sense of what you're seeing on the border. >> reporter: hey, isa, you can't see much right now because we actually have just been told we're not allowed to see near the border checkpoint. we have to go a ways up. if you want to follow me on this side. you can see this lineup of cars

here that is trying to get to the border. again, we're not allowed to swing the camera around this way, but you can see it stretches for quite a long ways. and if we can just take you in here, i'll show you the lineup. so, luckily these people haven't been waiting for too long. they've actually just been dropped off on buses from lviv. if we can go in, i'll try to get you a shot to show you the sheer of volume. if you want to lift up the camera and show how many people are trying to cross the border right now. there's really an absolutely remarkable number. and it is almost entirely women and children, of course, as we've seen packing the train stations, on the roads, frying to get o -- trying to get out of the country. it seems, isa, every round of bombing and shelling sends a new wave of people out of the country. there was a huge spike of people leaving when the invasion first started, and then as we got a few days into it, at least the train station in lviv was not

nearly as busy as it once was. and now all of the sudden we are starting to see the crowds back in absolutely massive numbers. obviously there's a lot of vulnerable people in here. there's very small children. and there's very elderly. i just spoke to an 89-year-old woman who fled lviv. remember, lviv at least at the moment is still relatively safe. they're not bombing in that area. but she said she just doesn't know exactly when or if it will be invaded, if and when things will start falling out of the sky. she simply does not want to take a chance. that's what you hear from a lot of people. these people haven't seen bombing, haven't seen shelling in their own cities yet, but they're just not prepared to take the risk, especially when you see they have little kids like that little boy there. and so yesterday at the train station we saw crowds of people going -- flooding outside of the building several hours to get

in, to try to get on a train. what they're doing now is putting people on buses from the lviv train station, city buses. we saw a convoy of maybe five or six of them coming in this morning. and then they drop them here. and then they wait in this line. this is just the line to get into the lineup for the actual building to do ukrainian passport control. and then beyond that, you still have to go to the polish side as well. this is sort of a new flood of humanity. i'm sorry, if i can take you down just to show you again, this is even more people in line here. so, again, the first wave, only been here 30 minutes. we can see the line is moving quite slowly. so hopefully we don't have a repeat of the situation we saw early on, isa, in the invasion where you had people waiting outside in these bitter conditions for 12-plus hours. right now it's minus 1 celsius, but i just checked. it feels like minus 6, and it

really is frigid. i'm wearing four or five layers and i'm still not very warm right now. again, i don't think i'm going to be able to take you to the end. it just keeps going and going, isa. >> and so many children in that line that you've just shown us. so many children in the frigid temperatures. very quickly, scott, if you can tell us how many people you have spoken to, how many are coming from mariupol or kyiv where we hear the humanitarian corridors are setting. do they believe russia will stick to the cease-fire? >> reporter: no one is optimistic about anything russia is doing. i have not met anyone specifically from mariupol. obviously a lot of people are trapped in those cities. but we have see a lot of people coming from kharkiv, people coming from kyiv as well. some people have heard explosions, some people have seen slowexplosions. some people have been on the road several days.

i spoke to one family 30 minutes ago who said from kharkiv they took three different trains -- hello. three different trains, and then a bus, a city bus to get here. remember, the lineup we're seeing in the lviv train station is not limit today that part of the country. at every single train station you have lineups upon lineups of people trying to get out of the country. they literally have been on the road 48 hours barely sleeping along the way, isa. >> it's starting to snow. those children's spirits smiling to you and saying hello. bravery. scott mclean for us in lviv, the ukraine border. thank you. they have kept it from falling into russian hands. the civilian death toll is rising as they target the city with rockets. some of the images are disturbing. i must warn you, some of the images are disturbing.

>> reporter: putin needs it, but he's having real trouble getting it. drive to the last ukrainian position outside the port city, where you can see a mess made of the kremlin's plans. even the z russian propaganda says the de-nazification is charred. occupants captured or dead. their missiles on display. along with their names. further down this road are the rest of the russian tanks. one was left behind. and now farmers, pensioners, bemused locals are picking it over. president model may be newer, but the empire it seeks to restore is long gone. [ speaking foreign language ] he's saying it goes forward, it

doesn't turn around. the same can't be said for its crew who fled. the ukrainians here a little gleeful this keeps happening. they left the tank? >> they needed to do that. >> reporter: they didn't have much of a choice? >> they didn't have a choice. >> reporter: i see. then a warning. >> there's a helicopter coming. >> reporter: there is a helicopter spotted and we have to leave. rushing in the weapons, this david has hit the russian goliath with again and again. the kremlin is sure to impose a cost on anyone it can.

rockets have slammed into homes regularly. this woman thinks she has broken her back. the house collapsed on me, she says, and then they pulled me out. there are no other patients in this hospital. all the injured treated here died in their beds, we're told, including one 53-year-old man brought in on sunday morning. across town, the rockets apparent munitions seem to fall just anywhere. another rocket landed up the street here. from cars to vegetable gardens. at the morgue, the toll is growing. at least 50 bodies, they told

us. 20 of them in cinerated am a missile strike, they said. the bodies so often of the elderly who would have survived being a soviet citizen, but not this. ruslan has worked here 13 days straight and is from crimea where russian state propaganda still calls this a special operation against nazis. [ speaking foreign language ]

they show us the corporse oa russian soldier and they ask us to film him up close, which we won't do. >> nick payton walsh there. a break in relations between russians and ukrainians is clear. zelenskyy posted on facebook. in it he warned there could be -- what could be ahead for the port city of odessa. have a listen.

>> translator: they are preparing to bomb odessa. russian people always used to come to odessa and they only knew warmth and generosity. and what's now actually bombs against odessa. this will be a war crime. this will be historical crime. >> let's get to cnn's nick payton walsh who joins us from odessa. nick, give us a sense of what you're seeing on the ground and odessa, it's a vital port? >> reporter: yeah, we have been hearing for days of the possibility of maybe an amphibious or naval a salt against this third largest city in ukraine. it's maritime to the outside world. you can't control ukraine if you don't have odessa as part of that. but so far throughout the night and this morning with horizontal snow a moment ago, it has been quiet. not the case, though, from where you just saw the report. at 5:00 this morning, a number

of rockets landed in a residential area there, and we've seen images posted by local officials of residential buildings on fire, and a hospital official we've spoken to confirmed one dead and three injured. that may not be the full extent of the damages there, but it appears, isa, that when the russian forces you saw there are frustrated on the outskirts of a place like mikalai, they try again and again. we've been there watching them stumbling their way in, and then being pushed back. it appears that is then followed by significant bombardment. essentially, the price of russian failure there. and i think that's increasingly deeply desperate for those civilians inside because you saw in that report, the rockets land anywhere. it is startling to walk around a vegetable patch, where children are sleeping in a neighboring house. munitions partially exploded landed there. that is i don't think a failure of aim.

there are so many in that area. it's carelessness or some desire to randomly inflict violence. but mikalaiev, a strategic town on the city on the way towards odessa heads on to the east, taken a number of days ago by the russians. they are seek civil disobedience, holding out, odessa on edge. it is extraordinary to see the volume of defenses put up in the city expecting this. so far eerily quiet, isa. >> incredible report being there from nick payton walsh and team. great to see you, nick. thank you. well, civilians caught up in air-strikes as russia presses ahead with its war on ukraine. coming up we'll hear from survivors in a village devastated by conflict. >> now i feel safe, but i'm very depressed because my family was divided by war.

(ted koppel) 30 million americans have copd, half don't yet know it. every one of them is especially vulnerable to covid-19. help us find them at copdsos.org.

we are seeing more and more civilian casualties from the fighting in ukraine.

now more than 1100 killed or injured according to the u.n.. the polish border guard says a million refugees have crossed into poland so far, a million. the u.n. puts that number closer to 900,000. cnn has not independently confirmed either of those figures. many refugees have traveled long distances and braved freezing temperatures in their struggle to get to safety as we saw from our scott mclean at the top of the show. the exodus has been so overwhelming in neighboring countries that tent cities such as one in moldova has been popping up near borders. as the war intensifies, the desperation only grows for those hoping to escape the violence, and those left behind are forced to cope with the devastation from russia's onslaught. >> translator: they took me over there somewhere. two of my grandchildren are alive. but my wife and daughter were killed. >> translator: my boyfriend died here.

my aunt, my cousin, my grandmother, my sister's husband, and a friend that stayed with us here while everything was happening. we've been living together since the start of the war. we had plans to leave but couldn't decide, should we stay or should we go. a miracle we survived. >> amid russian forces now in control of ukraine power facility, people have packed into a train station to evacuate. our sam kiley has the story for you. >> reporter: a collective breath is held as a long awaited evacuation train slows to a halt. the odds of getting out determined by access to a carriage door. police struggle to contain the

crowd. all are desperate to flee west. the mass evacuation is part driven by the recent capture of a nuclear power station by russian invaders. here they are being begged by the control room over a public address system to stop their attack on the six reactor plant, the biggest in europe. they say, you are endangering the security of the entire world. attention, stop shooting at a nuclear hazardous facility. attention, stop it! there is now a disregard as much for nuclear safety as civilian lives in cities across the country being bombarded by russia. scenes like this have not been seen in europe since the second world war in the 20th century. the mass evacuation of civilians from a major city has been

accelerated here because the people now believe, based on the evidence that they've seen elsewhere in ukraine, that it is civilians who are now going to be targeted in vladimir putin's invasion. >> translator: when russian troops came closer to saparisia, i decided it was better to get my family out before they entered the city itself. >> translator: we hoped that we can make it on the train today because this morning people didn't let us in, even though we have a baby. >> reporter: this is a war that separates lovers and parts husbands from their wives, fathers from their families. ukrainian men here between 18 and 60 cannot leave. they're needed for the fight. you're staying here? yes. >> reporter: so this is good-bye, temporarily. i hope in a week or two you can be back together again.

meore than a million ukrainians have fled their homes so far in the freezing conditions in the hope of a train to safety. he's 80 and staying on. he's a former para trooper in the soviet army. >> translator: i made mosul cocktails. i'm a hunter with 40 years of experience. i have a medal left from the ussr. i hate them. invaders because of this. not to mention the fact that my grandson was bombed for a week in kharkiv. >> reporter: those people who make it on board now face a 600 mile journey to lviv. for those who don't, time and luck may be running out. sam kiley, cnn, saparisia.

that was the final message from russian channel news tv range shot down by the kremlin after implementing a strict as well as overreaching censorship bill to make it impossible to accurately report the news. the spread of fake news 15 years for those convicted. "the new york times" reports the law could make it illegal to refer to the war in ukraine as a war. the russian government ultimately decides what is fake and what is real news, prompting many networks and publications to suspend operations. cnn spoke with a news director about what information the people are actually getting and how much harm this new law has inflicted. >> i think that the society in russia is divided terribly. one parliament of russian society believes the propaganda machine which tells them every

day, 24/7, shouting from televisions that russia is under the threat of nato, that nato is right around the corner and nato rocket are going to be on, i don't know -- someone is coming for vladimir putin who -- so on and so forth. but another part of russian society, this people are the viewers of tv rain, these viewers are the few independent media outlet which was shutdown just recently during those days. and i want to tell you that after the war has started on 24th of february, we have had absolutely amazing views, like 25 million views per day only on youtube. it means that there are many people, a lot of people,

millions of russians who understand that something terrible is going on, and who understand that they need this will turn to sources of information because they feel that this is a disaster. this is a catastrophe that has come to their homes. and the whole world is broken for them, for us, for me personally as well. >> staying in russia, more than 4500 people were detained across russia sunday in connection with anti-war protests. that is according to an independent human rights monitoring group tracking detentions in the country. that is st. petersburg, russia. video posted to social media shows anti-war protesters in a violent altercation you can see there with police. cnn geolocated and verified the authenticity of the video which was taken on sunday. cnn also contacted st. petersburg police to ask about the nature of the arrest, but it did not receive an immediate

response. ukraine's president has so far refused to leave the capital in the face of those russian attacks. coming up next, what a ukrainian golf in exile might look like should the country's leadership have to flee. we'll bring you that story next. you are watching cnn. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪ ♪ yeah, i feel freeee ♪ ♪ to babare my skin ♪ ♪ y yeah, that's all me ♪ ♪ nothing and me go hand in hand ♪ ♪ nothing on my skin, that's my new plan ♪ ♪ notothing is everything ♪ keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. most who achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months had lasting clearance through 1 year. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin at 3 years. and skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪ it's my moment ♪ ♪ so i just gotta say ♪ ♪ nothing is everything ♪ skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers,

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm isa soares. here are the latest developments in ukraine this hour. russia's ministry of defense says it is opening humanitarian corridors out of four ukrainian cities. the capital kyiv, kharkiv, mariupol as you can see there.

meantime, the state emergency service of ukraine released images of the shelling am mykolaiv. the city was hit by multiple rocket launches on monday morning. a russian strike hit an evacuation crossing point in kyiv, killing a family with two children and several other civilians on sunday. the u.s. says credible reports of attacks on civilians are being documented for possible war crimes investigation. resistance hasn't wavered. a video by the ukrainian police show rocket propelled grenades. nato and u.s. are resisting president volodymyr zelenskyy for no-fly zone, but the u.s. is working with poland on possibly providing fighter jets to ukraine. the administration is also discussing banning russian oil imports. meanwhile, the u.s. and its

european allies have been discussing how the west would support a potential ukrainian government in exile should president volodymyr zelenskyy have to flee. neo- cnn's natasha bertrand joins me live from belgium. natasha, zelenskyy has made it clear he wants to stay in kyiv, saying i need ammunition, not a lift. what discussions are being had here? >> reporter: that's right, isa. sources are telling me and my colleague kyle they are setting up an exile if it that becomes necessary. they would move to lviv in western ukraine, or if they had to flee the country entirely, they would potentially set up some kind of government structure in poland. now, it's been kind of difficult for european and american officials to broach this with zelenskyy because he is so reluctant to discuss anything that has to do with him leaving

ukraine. of course, he has said he wants to stay in kyiv and fight, and he has no plans as of now to evacuate. so part of the conversations for that reason have also included the possibility that some members of zelenskyy's government might go ahead of him and start kind of building infrastructure for a potential government in exile elsewhere. now, all of these discussions come as russia's onslaught against ukraine has increased in its severity, and the targeting of civilian infrastructure and civilians has also increased, shifting away from military targets and towards population centers. they have begun to use heavier equipment. they have begun a campaign, according to one senior western intelligence official, to bombard cities into submission. and so the u.s. and the west are very concerned about the possibility that zelenskyy might not be able to get out of kyiv in time to sustain that government if it becomes necessary. now, the e.u., the european commission president ursula von

der leyen said it is existential for ukrainians if not the whole of europe. >> this is not only a fight between ukraine against russia, russia that chose the war against ukraine, but it's a bigger topic. it's also the democracies fighting the autocracies and, therefore, it is for us existential really to support in every way possible as ukraine and its brave leadership. >> reporter: now, von der leyen said the e.u. would support an investigation into whether russia has committed war crimes. that is something antony blinken said the u.s. would also support. >> natasha bertrand for us in brussels. thank you very much, natasha. hundreds of indian students are still asking to be evacuated from ukraine. what they are being told by the indian government. we'll go live to new delhi just ahead. inging.

preparing for what could be mass immigration from ukraine. officials say 10,000 israeli citizens have now left ukraine, and israel is taking in jewish refugees. joining me now from jerusalem, hadas gold. hadas, israel has been preparing for this potential wave of refugees. give me a sense of what is being done to support them where you are. >> reporter: so, isa, israel has the law of return. anybody who is jewish or has one israeli grandparent can return. hundreds of thousands of ukrainians could be eligible. and as we are seeing, more than a million and a half ukrainians leave their country, israel is preparing for a massive wave of immigration they potentially have not seen since the fall of the soviet union. they have set up special processing centers along ukrainian borders.

three planes full of immigrants landed in tel aviv including one with 90 orphans. we spoke to some of the families. many of them were women traveling with their children without their husbands. men of fighting age are not allowed to leave ukraine. many had been thinking about moving to israel, but the war caused them to make a snap decision. take a listen. >> i really hope he can come to us, but he's helping right now, and i hope it will stop soon and we can be together. >> reporter: how does it feel to come here having been through what you've been through for so many days? >> i think i'm still shaken because i've seen war in front of our house. the russian, so it was dangerous. >> reporter: israeli authorities think by the end of the month they will have welcomed in 15,000 refugees to give you a sense of the numbers. on the diplomatic front, israeli prime minister naftali bennett spoke with vladimir putin yesterday. this is about a day after he made the surprise visit to

moscow where he met with putin for three hours at the kremlin. and later towed the israeli foreign minister lapid is expected to meet with antony blinken in latvia. isa? >> thank you, hadas gold. 07 st70 students are askinge taken from ukraine 50 miles from the russian border. the indian government advised the students to be ready to leave on short notice, saying a team is ready nearby to coordinate efforts. joining us now from new delhi with more, we are waiting for a press conference from u.s. secretary of state antony blinken, so i might have to interrupt you once it gets started. but first give me a sense of what the indian embassy is saying here, the chances of them being evacuated today. >> reporter: the situation is developing very quickly is what we know.

on sunday the embassy came out and told these 700 students, plus, in the northeastern area of ukraine, to stand by. they could be evacuated sometime very soon. so those directions and directives were already given to the students there. we've been speaking to students. they hope they can be evacuated in a day or two. they've heard from the indian embassy. but all of this, isa, hinges on the russian forces holding offer on firing in the area, which has been a volatile area really in the outskirts of sumy because of the students not being able to walk on foot to nearby areas as well. what we do know from our conversations, the latest ones with these students, is that there is some movement happening there. they are not telling us much right now, of course, but there could be a possibility they can be evacuated today or tomorrow. this is what the students have told us. now, what we do know is that there are officials from the indian embassy who are stationed

at the city 150 millimeters drive distance from sumy city and they are waiting there on standby. they are hoping for a local cease-fire to happen and that is what the officials told the media on saturday when they held a press conference saying they have spoken to both sides, russia and ukraine. they're hoping for the local cease-fire to take place to get our people out of there. as of now, over 20,000 indian na nationals have left ukraine and evacuated and they are now on their way back to india. but this situation is still developing at the moment, isa. >> okay. vedika, give me a sense. obviously we don't know how long they will be there. if we're waiting for the cease-fire, russia and both sides don't seem to have agreed on the cease-fire. they have broken it over the weekend twice now. what are the chance that's they have to be there for much longer? what is the embassy telling you? >> reporter: well, the chances of them really surviving through

this is just getting by the moment. they are running out of water. there is a huge electricity crisis as well, and the atms around the area according to students are not working. they have been talking about how they are running out of all the things i've just spoken to you about. water crisis is a huge crisis there. it is a seven or eight-story hostel they are staying in. they rush to the bankers when the sirens go off. that's what life looks like for them right now. we spoke to a student earlier and this is what he had to say to cnn about their situation currently. if we can just listen in to that. >> translator: some students had made a video yesterday about leaving, but we convinced them to stay for the time being. we cannot stop them much longer, though. we cannot control them. our suffering is increasing day by day, and our problems are only increasing.

>> reporter: the window only seems to open for these students to be evacuated once that local cease-fire is in place, but, isa, like you rightly pointed out, russia's word cannot be taken as of now because it's not the first time they said this and gone back on their word. so it's all depending really on the situation on ground as we speak, isa. >> keep us posted what you heard. thank you. in new delhi. u.s. gas prices are surging ever closer to record highs and there are discussions in washington, d.c., about a possible ban on russian oil. how that could affect prices at the pump after this short break.

(vo) ask your doctor if it's right for you. learn how we could help you save on imbruvica. we are now talking to our ear peen allies to look in a coordinated way to look at the prospect of banning european oil to make sure there is a supply in world markets. the debate on whether to cut back on russian energy and find other sources, global oil prices are surging to the highest level in 13 years. and that is having a tremendous effect at the pump. the national average in the u.s.

now tops $4 a gallon. that is the highest americans have paid since 2008. and european markets have dropped sharply as oil prices surge as you can see there. the xetra dax down. not a great start to monday as you can see. nasdaq down 2%, expected to open down 2%. similar picture with s&p. apple stocks keeping an eye on those, expected to open down more, roughly 2%, i should say. well, more companies are severing ties with russia over its invasion in ukraine. streaming giant netflix is joining entertainment companies pausing operations in russia. it will stop selling as well as providing its video service there. american express is the latest credit card company to end operations. its globally used cards will no longer work in russia. and social media giant tiktok

will suspend in russia. two giants aren't abandoning coca-cola, coca-cola and mcdonald's are continuing to operate there, and that has ukraine's foreign minister seeing red. >> we were upset to hear that companies like coca-cola and mcdonald's remain in russia and continue providing their products. it's simply against basic principles of morale to continue working in russia and making money there. this money is soaked with ukrainian blood. >> and the list of companies is growing. they range from retailers to entertainment to car manufacturers, as you can see on your screen. some of the biggest names in the industry closing up shop in russia. there's a lot of the mystery surrounding the arrest of russian wnba star brittney

greiner. reportedly found cannabis in her luggage last month. but news of the arrest just went public over the weekend. cnn world sport don riddell has the latest for you. >> one day after we learned that the american basketball star brittney greiner had been arrested in russia, the u.s. government suggested that it was working to help with her case. speaking at a press conference alongside the president of moldova, secretary of state antony blinken spoke briefly about greiner's situation. >> with regard to the individual you mentioned, there's only so much i can say given privacy considerations at this point. let me just say more generally, whenever an american is detained anywhere in the world, we, of course, stand ready to provide every possible assistance. >> much about this case, however, remains unclear. news of greiner's detention only emerged on saturday when

russia's federal customs service said an unnamed female basketball player had been arrested at an airport in moscow in february. a russian news agency identified the citizen as greiner. the customs service claimed greiner was carrying hashish in her luggage. as a result, the two-time olympic champion and seven-time wnba all-star could be facing a jail sentence up to ten years. her case is complicated by the recent invasion of ukraine and its hostile actions. that may limit the u.s. government's ability to help, especially as it is actively applying economic sanctions against russia and trying not to further escalate tensions in the region. underlying the sensitive nature of her case, her wife has written about it. thank you for reaching out about my wife's safe return from russia. please honor our privacy as we

continue to work on getting my wife home safely. meanwhile, there remains a great deal of concern for brittney greiner's health and well-being. jason telling me, quote, it appears to be the most audacious hostage taking by a state imaginable, resign calling for greiner's release and the release of other american citizens being held in russia on twitter. resign spent 544 days unjustly imprisoned by iran before he was released in january of 2016. back to you. >> thanks very much, don there. don riddell. that does it here on "cnn newsroom." i'm isa soares in london. our breaking news coverage on the war in ukraine continues on "new day" with brianna keilar and john berman. you are watching cnn.
