reporting since the beginning of the war, kharkiv is simply put being levelled by non-stop russian bombardment. the report is from itv's dan rivers, and it centers on one woman in kharkiv who turns the camera on herself, as she watches her city assaulted. >> i'm not going to take much because i'm hoping i will return soon enough. this is just necessities, like going on a trip, but an awful one, i guess. so, i can no longer withstand the constant bombing, especially after last night, which was truly a terrifying thing. we are going to leave, if we

live that long, of course. so, i don't want to leave, and we will be moving to somewhere just further away from russian border. i don't know why, but being bombarded is easier than leaving your home. >> family tonight part of what the u.n. estimates are 1.8 million internally displaced people within ukraine. that's on top of the 2 million people who have already left ukraine and become refugees. more now on how some of those internally displaced people spent today from cnn's matthew chance. >> reporter: in the chaos of this evacuation, the frantic search for a lost child. in the rush to escape the fighting, an orphan has been left behind. each bus desperaticely checked r

a familiar face. hi, hello. do you speak english? for the journey across the front line, the children are well protected against the cold. the older kids were terrified, their carer tells me. but the little ones didn't understand the danger they were all in, she says. this is a mass exodus from areas under heavy russian assault and a safe corridor, which hundreds of civilians, entire families, are using to escape before it closes, leaving the horrors of the past few weeks behind. >> my name is nadia. >> reporter: where do you come from nadia? >> from vorzel. this is a place which was very dangerous, and a lot of russians and a lot of chech yans.

and they keilled the owner of te house we were staying. >> reporter: they killed the owner of the house. >> yes, they killed the owner of the house. >> reporter: so, you must have been -- you and your family over here, you must have been terrified. >> it was absolutely terrifying. but family is okay. now we are going to -- we are leaving for the border. >> reporter: you've been ten days underground. >> ten days underground. >> reporter: there you have it, just one family that has, you know, taken its opportunity to escape the horrific situation they found themselves in the last ten days or more. and, again, you know, take that chance to get themselves and their children out of here. >> we have a lot of volunteers who help with nutrition. >> reporter: and helping them do that safely is embattled ukrainian official tells me is now as much a part of fighting this war with russia as killing

the enemy. >> warm food and warm drink. we have a medical crew that happen helps to manage people that were wounded. we've seen shelled people with broken flags here. and we have a security force that actually interview people because we are afraid that russians may have sent some of their own in this place as saboteurs right here. >> reporter: and all this is happening, of course, all this is happening under the threat of artillery strikes and gunfire. is that a real threat right now? >> that's a real threat, but we have no choice. we have thousands of people who really have spent more than a week in a basement with no cellular coverage, with no access to medical assistance, with no food, no lights, no electricity. and they want to flee.

they need us to help them. >> reporter: but as the buses leave for the capital, the boom of artillery fire resumes in the distance. the window for this escape from the fighting is closing fast. well, there you have it. so, that corridor, that green corridor, that was open today, it was open yesterday as well. unfortunately, there is tono indication from the russian side that it's going to be open again tomorrow, which means that this may have been the last chance for these families to escape those war-torn regions north of the ukrainian capital. there is some, i suppose, positive news in the sense that there are negotiations that are scheduled to begin within the next few hours, next day or so, in the turkish city of an tal i

can't, with the russian and the ukrainian foreign ministers will be meeting for the highest level peace talks that have taken place -- will have taken place -- since the beginning of this war. so, you know, it's -- there is a lot of skepticism going into those peace talks tomorrow. but at least it is a glimmer of hope that at least there are going to be talks about the possibility of a diplomatic solution. >> matthew, it's alison kosik in new york. we did lose anderson's signal. so, until we do get him back up, i'll be talking with you a bit. i want to talk more about this round of talks more between the ukrainian and russian foreign ministers, this time happening in turkey. is there much, if any, optimism about -- about what could happen? >> reporter: well, i think optimism is a bit strong. but, you know, there have been some -- you know, some talks, some word from either side about what they may or may not be willing to accept.

for instance, the russians have said what they want to see from the ukrainians is a commitment to neutrality. so, they want the ukrainians to back away from their calls to join nato, the western military alliance. they also want an acceptance that crimea, which they an exed from ukraine in 2014, will be recognized by the ukrainians as fully part of russia. and that the two republics, break away republics in the east of ukraine, are recognized as being independent states. russia has already recognized them as that. no one else does. it wants ukraine to make those territorial concessions as well on crimea and those eastern republics. the ukrainians, you know -- well, they're going into these talks saying, look, we have got faith not in the action of these talks but in our armed forces. they've enjoyed significant authentic

success on the battlefield. and i think the concern is that they may go into these talks think thinking they could actually win this war in an outright military fight with the russians. of course if they don't accept some kind of compromise and perhaps dos a deal at this stag with moscow, there's the danger that moscow could double down or triple its military force that it's applying into this conflict. and that could have devastating consequences of course for ukraine and for the people in it. so, look, we're in a very fragile moment. it's a, you know, a real junction in this conflict. and we're going to see what the outcome of these talks are to see which way we think this -- this war is likely to go in the days and in the weeks ahead. >> okay. matthew chance live for us from kyiv. thanks for all your great context there. let's get some perspective from david remnick. in addition to being editor of the new yorker, he's author of

six books including "the indispensable lenin's tune" but before we get to you, we're going to take a break because i think we've e got anderson's signal back up. we'll be right back k to you. about her plan, ood she can enjoy more of right now. that's the plannnning effect, from fidelity.

and welcome back to our live coverage from lviv, ukraine. we had a slight technical problem. we seemed to have worked that out. apologies. it happens. we want to get perspective from what we've seen today and the past two weeks and what we may see tomorrow. david remnick, author of six book, including "the indispensable lenin's tomb." you hear matthew chance talking about the meeting between the ukrainian foreign minister and russia. we've seen some evidence of corridors that have been open. we've seen other violations of that, both sides blaming each other for that. is there any evidence that you see that vladimir putin wants an end to this war at this point?

>> not yet. i mean, let's stipulate that this is an invasion of a sovereign country for no reason at all, and it's been merciless and disgusting and brutal. so, that's -- that's the thing that's most obvious. and -- and yet we're in a situation where we don't want it to escalate to the point where ukraine is decimated and just endless casualties and refugee crisis that destabilizes europe for the rest of our lives. we don't want to see that. and the ancient philosopher once said that you need to build a golden bridge, a golden bridge, for your opponent, for your enemy, so that he can walk across and retreat. and somehow, some way, ukraine is going to have to devise -- and above all ukraine. the west can't do it for ukraine. some sense of what can be conceded, as painful and horrible and unjust as it is, so

that there's a negotiated settlement, so that this insane war, instigated solely by vladimir putin can end and the bloodshed can end. and these concessions will be enormously painful, whether it's recognizing crimea, finally, as russian territory or some settlement in east of ukraine. i totally recognize this is sovereign ukrainian territory. but there's no sign yet that putin is -- just because he's suffered some military losses in some parts of the country, that he's going to just merely retreat. that's not him. that's not his history. it wasn't in syria. >> yeah. and i mean, you've certainly seen -- you know, we've all seen what the russian military is capable of doing in groezny, in aleppo, in syria, leveling

grossi essential and installing a thug as a leader there. have you been surprised at the performance of the russian military? >> well, i think putin is surprised at the performance of the russian military. what happens in an authoritarian regime and putin's regime is something that has become more and more despotic year after year, as he becomes increasingly isolated. he begins to believe his own nonsense. fewer and fewer people come to the desk with contrary information. and he clearly thought he could waltz into ukraine and in a few day's time either install a puppet regime or have them give up. and ukraine has proven itself with the leadership of zelenskyy, and the sheer brilliance of the ukrainian people, they have proved themselves capable, at least until now, of fending off the russians. but let's not be diluted. let's not be diluted.

yes, the attack on kyiv has been stalled. but russia, through sheer brutalism, is -- is making enormous gains in the south along the black sea. and, you know, given time -- time is unfortunately on russia's side in this military game because there is not going to be a no fly zone. there's not going to be a defense in the standard sense of nato coming to its rescue, as if it were an article v country, a nato member. and it will get as horrible as today's news was, it will multiply and get much worse. that's who vladimir putin is and he has been for a very long time. >> i spoke to former moscow chief in the last hour talking about the new russian law criminalizing independent journalism. it is -- the desire of vladimir

putin to suppress accurate reporting about the war, onot using the word war, using the word invasion. what does it say to you about his own grip on power now, about his position now? >> well, a desperate grip on power is always innately unstable. it's always threatened by from below, which putin has always recognized. he's looked around the world and seen what's happened in the arab world some years ago. he's seen what's happened in georgia and ukraine, of course. and that feels like a threat to him. certainly when there were demonstrations, he suppressed that. and he recognized as the threat from his coterie of lackeys around him. i think the west is hoping you'll see demonstrations from below, and putin is making every

effort, every brutal effort, to suppress the likes of alexei navalny, who is sitting in prison, demonstrator who is have been arrested, or the independent press, which has been crushed. and he's very wary of everybody around him. and you saw -- he made a show of it. he made a theater of it by broadcasting his meeting with the security council and humiliating -- humiliating -- anyone that had any contrary word or scintilla of doubt. and by the way, these are not dissidents. this was -- this was the head of his foreign intelligence service that he made a point of humiliating. now, how long that can hold out, we'll see. >> david remnick, i appreciate you. thank you so much. >> appreciate you, anderson. thank you. every day we're in ukraine it becomes more and more important it is for people here to simply be seen and have their

voices heard. people want you around the world to know what is happening here. they want you to see it and hear it. they want you to hear their stories, ukrainians with relatives living in russia telling them what they're going through only to be told by an uncle or friend or close friend that is not happening at all. so, i spoke with kyiv's mayor vitali klitschko. mayor klitschko, what kind of supplies do you need in terms of humanitarian supplies? >> we have right now a lot of food, and we receive also a lot of medication, medical supplies in kyiv. we need right now the peace in ukraine. >> we've seen civilians being

attacked as they're trying to leave. do you have any doubt russians are targeting civilians? >> yeah, we have a lot of example. for example, i'm in kharkiv. it's a city around ten miles from kyiv, small city. the mayor of gostomel brings them help to the people, and the russian soldiers shoot him and killed him. >> there is still not agreement about the planes from poland coming to ukraine. how important is it to get planes? >> we need the weapons. we're ready to defend our country. we stand in front of one of the powerful army in the world, and that's why we need the planes also very much. it's the time we don't have time

to wait. it's minutes, it's hours. and that's why we need to the planes from poland to ukraine. >> there were reports yesterday that the russians were advancing on kyiv a little bit from the east. is there an area you are most concerned about? >> the russians make it pressure from the east. they lose a lot of soldier and a lot tangs. but i'm concerned, yes, of course, activities of from russian army. but we are proud of our ukrainian fighters, warriors, real warriors who give us their full for aggressors. >> finally, the diplomat, the

two foreign ministers are meeting tomorrow. are you optimistic something may actually come from that? >> we hope. we -- everybody hope it will be a diplomatic solution in this war. i don't know. i don't know just one way the russians have to go away. it's difficult to find a solution if thousands of people already died. the infrastructure in the country destroyed. the economy of country here have huge damage. and by the way, we have hope to stop the war, to stop killing civilians in ukraine. every ukrainian hopes to stop the war. >> mayor klitschko, i appreciate your time. thank you. be safe. >> thank you for unity. thank you for your support.

thank you for help. it's very important. unity is a key for freedom. >> mayor klitschko, thank you. mayor klitschko of kyiv saying, unity is the key for freedom. a moment ago you heard david remnick from "the new yorker" saying there will not be a no fly zone over ukraine. that's due to u.s. officials and most of the european union. my next guess would like to change that. nato supreme allied commander, general breed love. >> you and 26 other military leaders and former policy experts sent an open letter to president biden asking him to impose what you say is a limited no fly zone over ukraine. what would that look like? >> so, anderson, thanks for having me on and thanks for listening. it was clear very early that a military no fly zone, with its more bellicose status, was not going to be accepted by anybody in the west. and so what we have looked at is

what's happening on the battlefield, which you heard described before by the mayor and others that some of the humanitarian corridors were coming under attack. in fact, some believe the russians just used them to line up the targets. and so we looked at the way to develop something that's used before, a humanitarian no fly zone, which is far less bellicose. in that no fly zone, the aircraft enforcing it do not fire at anyone unless they're fired upon or if that aircraft fires upon the humanitarian relief on the ground. so, it's a much -- it's a much different scope of what you have to do to accomplish the zone. >> i've heard congressman adam kinzinger was on this program last week. he mentioned this idea of what he called a humanitarian air corridor. would you see that also as a way to bring supplies in to civilian

areas? >> well, anderson, there's a whole different group of people that have come to us now to ask if their idea would be compatible with ours. and there's a growing group of people now pushing a humanitarian air lift, ala berlin air lift style, as opposed to stopping in poland and then going across. and we believe that the two concepts are absolutely compatible and are now advocating for same. >> what would happen -- i mean, correct me if i'm wrong here. with a regular no fly zone over a country, it's not just if you're fired upon by the aggressor's air force, you can fire back, a plane can fire back. but also if you're fired upon or if artillery on the ground is

firing at planes, i mean if there is a humanitarian corridor, one of the problems we've seen is artillery by russians violating that humanitarian corridor and firing or firing during a ceasefire. would those planes then try to take out artillery on the ground that was violating the humanitarian corridor also? >> it really depends, anderson, because humanitarian no fly zones would be defined by what we call the roe, rules of engagement. and whatever the nations would lay out is their rules of engagement would then be used. possibly it would only be used against other airplanes. but you're right. there are a lot of capabilities on the ground that are firing into these. so, it would just very much depend on how it was constructed. but it could be constructed to return fire against ground positions as well. it's just what the nations would

bear in the construct of the zone. >> yeah. and as you know right now there is not much appetite, if at all, certainly by u.s. officials on a no fly zone, however it's defined, nor with a number of european nations. but we shall see what happens in the days and weeks ahead. general phillip breedlove, i appreciate your time, and thanks so much for explaining your position. >> thanks. thanks for having me on. coming up, innocent and helpless ukrainian children being forced to pay a heavy price in this war. many now living in neighboring countries as refugees. for some, battling the journey alone. the story next. voltaren is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel for powerful arthritis pain relief. voltltaren, the joy of movemen.

well, some of the most vulnerable people in this war of course are children, whether it's bombing in hospitals or children forced to leave their homes and schools and all they've ever known without knowing when or if they'll be able to return. it lhas been extremely difficul for kids here. some living as refugees in neighboring countries, some without their parents. more on that from cnn's miguel marquez. >> reporter: 9-year-old sasha, one of hundreds of ukrainian

kids with no parents or separated from them now being cared for in romania. i have no mother and father. they died, he says. i lived in several places, and i know it's important to listen to my teachers and behave myself. this government facility north of bucharest has taken in 27 kids, all with varying degrees of physical or mental disabilities. this is a tragic moment for all of us, she says. it's a huge challenge for the system and our community. but we have the resources to care for these children. these kids, along with a few teachers, fled ukraine's southern odesa region last week. our trip took all morning and all night, he says. i don't know how to explain it. was it a long trip? this boy turned 11 the day we

visited. i wanted a smartphone for my birthday, he says, but i'm afraid to ask the teachers. angelina's, his big sister, says their mother is still in ukraine, unable to travel. i'm thinking about my family, she says. my mother can't walk. she was injured in a vehicle accident. they all know a war is happening back home. they don't totally understand it. there is a war in ukraine, he says, so the director of our school decided to bring us here. nearly 220 ukrainian children, like sasha, are now in romania, say immigration officials here. their futures before the war uncertain. today -- how long will you stay here? maybe two or three months, she says. maybe four months. just this one county sheltering 66 ukrainian children in three

different facilities, kids who have no parent when is them, and for now, no country. >> how do you feel they are doing? they are feeling good, she says. they are sleeping well, playing lots of games, and eating well. these teachers and staff from the ukrainian school upended their lives too, leaving loved ones behind. they stayed with these kids. their responsibilities for them and hope for their homeland boundless. how do you feel about the future? where will all this go? we believe in a better future and that the war will be over, she says. i believe ukraine will stay united as a nation. and like kids everywhere, they have dreams, big ones. what do you want to be when you grow up? i want to be an american, he says.

then adds -- [ speaking foreign language ] -- i also want to fly into space and take my teacher with me. those caring for these kids have a simpler, maybe more impossible hope. >> if you had a magic wand and you could wish for one thing, what would it be? [ speaking foreign language ] peace, only peace. no translation needed. >> i think that young boy has a future in television as well. i like how he grabbed the microphone repeatedly and spoke right into it. >> reporter: he was -- as his teacher said, he's a superstar. every time i would ask him a question, he would grab the mic and talk. he -- we all want to adopt that kid. sasha is a superstar. >> yeah, yeah. how long are the romanians prepared to care for these kids? >> reporter: look, they said

they will go the distance. romania is not the wealthiest country in the european union, but they will help them as long as they can. they say, look, they have never felt more supported and coordinated by the european union, by nato, and by the u.s. if anything that vladimir putin has done, it has brought the west together like they never have before. anderson? >> miguel marquez, thank you so much for telling those kids' stories. russia has been isolated by much of the world, but not china. beijing is helping moscow spread putin's propaganda. the question is why. we'll shed light next. nsights to design solutions toto help you manage payroll, benefits, and hr today, so you can havave more succes tomorrow. ♪ one thing leaeads to anothe, yeah, yeah ♪

the west is united against this war in ukraine. but russia does have one major ally in china. beijing could help end the invasion of ukraine, instead it seems to have joined vladimir putin's propaganda war.

>> reporter: china's national broadcaster, cctv, looking increasingly like russian state television these days. calling the invasion of ukraine a special military operation. its story, highlighting moscow's grievances against kyiv and its western allies along with russia's military progress on the battlefield. they rarely mention the fierce resistance and growing suffering in war torn ukraine. publicly, beijing stresses its impartiality in the conflict, even indicating its willingness to be a mediator. cnn combing through chinese tv and digital news reports in the first eight days of the russian attack along with thousands of social media posts from the outlets. our findings? china has largely adopted russia's talking points, actively helping the kremlin disseminate its version of the bloody war to millions here and

beyond. >> reporter: the chinese foreign ministry has yet to respond to our request for comment. russian president vladimir putin's last visit was to china. following the meeting between putin and xi jinping, the two governments declared a partnership with no limits. china and russia's close ties had included coordinating their message on the global stage. such coordination it now appears has drawn beijing into playing an important role in the kremlin's disinformation campaign. on february 26th after two nights of russian bombardment, zelenskyy shared a video of himself on the streets of kyiv. russian officials quickly alleged that zelenskyy had fled the country and the video was prerecorded. less than 15 minutes later, cctv flashed a news alert claiming venezuela has left kyiv. more than 160 chinese state

media outlets reposted the alert, a hash, russia says zelenskyy has left kyiv, later got 510 million views on chinese social media. and yet it was not true. most damning, an internal memo from beijing news surfaced online two days before the russian invasion even started. the memo directed staff not to publish anything negative about russia or pro-west. it was mistakenly posted on the outlet's social media account before being set to private and eventually deleted. cnn research has found that china's major state media outlets appear to be following that playbook. of the most retweeted posts, more than 46% contained pro-russia comments compared to less than 5% with pro-ukraine statements. roughly 35% of the posts included attacks on the u.s. and

its allies. moscow enacting its own great firewall to dissenting voices domestically, chinese social media is spreading and amplifying putin's narrative on air and online around the clock and across the globe. >> david culver joins me live from shanghai. is it clear how most people there feel about the russian invasion? what's the sentiment? >> reporter: yeah, if you go through chinese social media sh anderson, and you see folks scrolling through and thumbing through different pages, you see a lot of pictures of putin. you don't see a lot of pictures of where you are in ukraine. that said, people are not totally ignorant to what's going on. through a vpn, they can see western social media. little by little, as this war is continuing to go on, as the fighting is pursuing, they're starting to see more of the realities trickle in. and you see questions starting

to be raised as to, hey, what are russia's intentions in all this? that said, it puts beijing in a difficult position because they're in the midst of this balancing act trying to still appease their best friend -- at least that's how president xi has described president putin and their northern neighbors -- and at the same time trying to portray themselves as global peacemakers and potential mediators in all this. it doesn't seem to be something they can sustain much longer. >> appreciate it. thanks very much. just ahead one of the world's best known photojournalists shares his thoughts on documents since arriving in ukraine and other battle zones this reminds him of. ... only from discover.

. we've just gotten some disturbing photographs that give you a sense just of the human cost of this war in the city of mariupol which has been under siege by russian forces. this is the same city where the

hospital was attacked, the maternity ward. this is a mass grave in mariupol that's been dug by ukrainian officials to bury their dead. we told you about the attacks there and the difficulties of getting refugees out. the mayor there says the dead were numbered in the dozens, and then it was the hundreds. he now says quote we are already talking about thousands. that's why they dig mass graves like this. there's no time for individual graves. too dangerous, too difficult. it's photographs like that that have defined this war. earlier today, i spoke with a photographer, david turnley, he's a legendary photo journalist, one of the best photo journalists working. he's documented many wars in his award winning career. he's now here in lviv, just got here the other day, and he's shared with me some of his thoughts about what he has seen thus far and how it compares to other assignments he's had around the world. you have seen the russian way of

war up close. you were in grozny in 1996, i believe, is that right? >> yeah, mid-90s. it was overwhelming. >> the level of just brutality, and sheer force against the civilian population. >> absolutely. it was a time when the russian army had surrounded the capitol of chechnya, grozny, and decimated the city with nonstop day and night bombing, shelling. >> artillery, and aircraft? >> exactly. and it effectively rendered the reality for people in the city a kind of suicide to be there. >> the city was really leveled and, i mean, there was not much distinction between or any distinction between civilians, and combatants. >> no, it was -- the intent was to raise the city and to drive people out of the capitol effectively, to make it uninhabitable and thus to be able to take over the republic.

>> i keep trying to think of other places where i've seen a population as kind of unified to oppose an aggressor, and i think about sarajevo, and i was in and out briefly here and there in the '93, '94 range. you spent a lot of time in sarajevo, your photographs are extraordinary. do you have memories of satellitesarajevo when you come here? >> i do. i remember it distinctly in the mid-90s in bos nia, driving down a country road and suddenly coming upon hundreds of women and children that had been rooted from the villages of zepa and dumped into a field, and certainly i've seen since i've arrived in the ukraine and on the polish border this same look you see in people's eyes. >> that same sense of dislocation. >> dislocation, not knowing what comes next, having to find a way to feel rooted when there is

nothing to be rooted with except those that you're with, and the same element we're seeing here is that the refugees we're seeing are really mostly women and children, the real victims of war are refugees, every day human beings who are, as you say, from one minute to the next, up rooted. >> you know, oftentimes in this job, one is never sure if anything makes a difference, what you're doing, what images you're showing, but no one can -- you know, there were very few -- i was too scared to go to grozny in 1996, 1995 when you were there, it terrified me as a young correspondent, and, you know, aleppo, syria, there weren't enough people there watching around the world watching what was going on. and so russia was able to do whatever they want, drop barrel bombs from the sky, torture civilians, whatever they wanted. here at least, no one can say they have not seen what is

happening. they done know what is happening here. >> no, i agree. i was thinking on the way over to talk together, you know, that i've never -- i've been covering wars over the last 25, 30 years, and i've never received the kind of hourly feedback and support and encouragement for my work that i'm receiving now over social media, because my work's being seen by lots of people that way. but that's not so much the point. i think the real point is that what we are experiencing is the tragedy that human beings and people most of us can relate to, for all kinds of reasons. i was also thinking about that that this is the first time that i've witnessed not just the breadth of this kind of refugee exodus but also it spans the entire socioeconomic spectrum of

a modern european society. >> also to see a million and a half or 2 million refugees pick up, or people who have become refugees pick up and move often with one bag, maybe two bags within a 12-day period or however many days it's been. there hasn't been a mass migration of people like this this quickly since world war ii. it's, you know, it's extraordinary. there was a mass -- i remember in rwanda, during the genocide, there's a mass migration of people, and at the time i remember it being called the biggest mass migration of people perhaps in history, and this, you know, this dwarves anything we have seen. >> i so agree. i was thinking also about that, what we're witnessing are people patiently and orderly in lines waiting for what they have to do to move forward, whatever that might mean. we don't hear, and i'm trying to find the most polite way to say

this. we see real support, you know, the other feature here obviously is that men and women and children have been separated from -- women and children have been separated from men because the men are meant to stay back and fight. you never hear anyone complaining about that. >> david, it's so lovely to see you. >> great to see you. thank you. >> he's such a remarkable man, his career is incredible. you can follow him on instagram @davidturnrnley. i follow him. his account is greatat. we'll be right back. a a root cause of eczema, itit helps heal your skin from within, keeping you one step ahead of it. hide my skin? not me. and for kids ages 6 and up that means clearer skin, and noticeably less itch. with dupixent, you can change how their skin looks and feels. and that's the kind of change you notice. hide my skin? not me. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.
