[ gunshots ]. >> this is a city under intense attack. 2200 residents have been killed so far in the siege. there are new figures out tonight the number of ukrainians that have managed to flee the fighting. the u.n. says it's approaching

2.7 million people. new as well tonight, satellite imagery showing a russian tank stuck in the european river near kyiv after ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed it with a number of other russian vehicles. russian forces have made only limited progress towards the capital two and a half weeks into the war. in his remarks, president zelenskyy is convinced his country will prevail and spoke to the death of american journalist named brent renaud shot and killed today. he called ateit adele delibera attack. a colleague of his was wounded and in the hospital he describes the ordeal. >> what happened? >> we cross the first bridge. we going to film other refugees and we got into a car, somebody offered to take us to the other bridge and we cross the check point and they start shooting at

us. the driver. >> translator: -- turn around, they kept shooting. my friend is brent renaud. he's been shot and left behind. >> he has died. in a moment, renaud has died. in a moment, a conversation with the "new york times" photo journalists who knows that the men that you just saw there who have been reporting from near the spot where mr. renaud was killed and sam kylie in kyiv and scott mcclain in lviv and arlette saenz at the white house but first, an overview of what has been another significant day here from cnn starting with the missile strike not far from the polish border 26 miles from he here. >> reporter: the barrage of missiles killing at least 35 people according to the lviv military association and wounding more than 100 others. russia's full scale invasion

grows more destructive by the day. on the black sea, nine people were killed on a russian bombardment and satellite images show the city of mariupol burning, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and water. nearly 2,200 people have been killed since russia's invasion began according to the city counsel. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says help is on the way if it can get through. >> translator: our humanitarian convey is two hours away with 80 kilometers remaining. we're doing everything possible to fight the resistance of the occupants who block even the orthodox church priests escorting with food, water, medication. ukraine has supplied 100 tons of the basic necessities for its citizens. >> reporter: among those killed in the war american journalist brent renaud.

russian forces shot him. another journalists was wounded. >> so the driver turned around and they kept shooting, two of us. >> reporter: the widening attack on ukraine has not detoured the u.s. and nato allies from shipping weapons and he equipment proven effective at slowing down russia. >> we believe we'll be able to continue to flow substantial amounts of military assistance and weapons to the front lines to help the ukrainians ensure that ukraine is a strategic failure for vladimir putin. >> reporter: multiple rounds of negotiations for russia and ukraine lead to few if any breakthroughs. another round of talks is set for monday. >> we are seeing some signs of a willingness to have real serious negotiations but i have to say, as your reporter said, so far, it appears that vladimir putin is intent on destroying ukraine. >> reporter: ukraine's resistance has slowed the russian advance towards the capital city of kyiv. russia has so far been unable to encircle the city. meanwhile, the u.s. is watching

for any threat of chemical weapons from russia in a possible false flag operation. >> it is of the russian playbook that that which they accuse you of, they're planning to do. now, again, we haven't seen anything that indicates some imminent chemical biological attack. >> reporter: a russian air strike saturday night damaged a monastery in the donetsk region. the church sheltered more than 500 displaced people parliament said. ? kherson, a brazen show of spirit for ukraine in the square which means freedom square. the white house approved another $200 million in security assistance to ukraine. that's in addition to two weeks ago approval of $350 million. so that's more than half a billion dollars in just a couple of weeks here and where this

used to take weeks or months to get into the country, it's taking days now. anderson? >> thanks so much. i want to go to sam kylie standing by in kyiv tonight. what's it been like there today? >> reporter: well, so far anderson, i think you can probably call this today not with standing the tragic lose of a colleague brent renaud a day of tactical pause being taken by the russian invaders. in the last day or so, they're not attacking with the same venom and volume than the previous days and analysis of their movements, of the movement of the convey, the logistics coming in support of the russians is disbursed. the assumption of british and american intelligence said there is a consolidation going on ahead of what is anticipated to be an attempt to push in from

the east of the city, particularly if the russians get reinforcements from even from kharkiv where they came across the border there, anderson. >> you said the east is now a more likely attempted entrance point? >> reporter: there is clear indications, there is more pressure coming from the northeast of the city and the assumption will be that the russians try to get a kind of shape around the capital city. they're in the west, northwest. they've been penetrating trying to come into the fonortheast an east and british intelligence indicated that while they consolidate there, the concern is that they may be able to sweep around and if not cut the roads south, which is the main point of access into and out of kyiv. they can certainly threaten those roots. they don't have to be that close to roots to shut them down if

they're going to be able to attack them with artillery and multiple rocket launching systems. that's an analysis in the future. at the moment the assumption is the next few days, the pressure will increase in the east maybe continuing to in the northwest, anderson. >> sam, i wonder what you make of the increase in the attacks here in the west. we've seen an air field attacked that was i think yesterday or two days ago just overnight it was the early this morning, i guess, it was the military base, which is probably the most -- the highest deathrect russian a. important base near the polish border. >> reporter: i think it's a very important indication. obviously, they know about that base. it was the base used for the

training of ukrainian forces by british and american instructors before they with drew ahead of the war. it's a place where it's believed foreign fighter volunteers are being processed and trained and incorporated into the ukrainian army but above all, anderson, it was hit very hard with precision guided missiles fired over a very significant range from inside russian or bella russian territory. a very different sort of attack to some of the bombings that we've seen elsewhere in the country where they're using bombs, much less precise weapons being dropped from fighter jets and fighter bombers particularly in the north of the city. we see almost daily now reports or even video coming from the ukrainian ministry of defense of these second world war type bombs, bombs that haven't exploded. what happened near where you are

are very substantial missile strikes, enormous craters. precision strikes using modern sophisticated missile technology that we haven't seen used in a huge amount of cases around this country but clearly, that was a significant decision being taken by the russians to target their area, if nothing else, to send a signal to foreign fighters perhaps this is a dangerous place to volunteer for even in the tripping phase, anderson. >> arlette saenz, new reporting russia is requesting military assistance from china. >> reporter: the white house has not commented on this new development but u.s. officials have said russia has requested military equipment and aid from china since their invasion of ukraine began. a senior u.s. official says that include as request for drones. a spokesperson for the chinese embassy said they haven't heard of such a request but this raises serious questions about

whether china would comply with such a request and if they did, what kind of impact that might have on the landscape as ukrainian forces continue to battle this on slot from russia. now, additionally, this new development comes as the national security advisor jake sullivan was set to meet with his chinese counterpart in rome tomorrow. the two were expected to discuss the rising tensions between russia and ukraine and the impact on global security and earlier today, sullivan did express some concern about the possibility of china helping russia when it comes to economic sanctions. he told dana bash there would be consequences if china or any other country help russia evade the sanctions. we'll see whether this new development about this request for military assistance from russia comes up as u.s. officials have been quite critical of china's approach

when it comes to russia and this war. >> sam, how -- the strikes in the west, how much of that do you think by russia not only sending a message but also as you said perhaps to foreign fighters, even to poland and nato countries but also an attempt to stop possible shipment routes of more weaponry, of more humanitarian aid? >> reporter: oh, i don't think there is any doubt at all about it. you mentioned early on, anderson, there are air strikes against two air fields. i think 24 hours or so before this latest missile strike against the training facility all in the west of the country, all potential movement or nodes that would receive aid but also distribute military aid in particular coming out of the air fields. the air fields used by drones and other fighter jets the ukrainians are managing to fly

above their country. so very important and a signal, not a signal, i mean, a direct statement that aid coming in, whether it is certainly military aid and the russians have said this, that any military aid coming in will be seen as a legitimate target. vague as to whether or not it would be considered a legitimate target when still on nato soil. the moment it crosses the border of ukraine as far as russians are concerned, it would be fair game for continued strikes. the real issue would be what is the capacity of the russians to hit those sorts of things. are they moving for example in trucks, in saimilar vehicles? do the russians have the similar capability? why are they asking for chinese drones? it's easier to patrol skies if you can keep a drone up for a sustained period of time. we've seen drones used by ukrainians to have a spectacular effect against the incoming russian armor.

when a shooting was over, renaldo was wounded and renaud killed. the powehotos speak to that, th elderly or youngest beiing take to safety. those photos are the work of new york times photo journalist lindsey adario. i spoeke to her. i understand you didn't know brent renaud but you know his colleague that was injured. i believe he was in surgery, i'm not sure if he still is.

do you know much about what happened to them? >> i do not. it's important to under line we don't know what happened. this is an incredibly dangerous situation going into european is very dangerous because any journalist that goes in there has to walk across the bridge, walk a kilometer and essentially hitchhike a ride with any one of the vans or vehicles evacuating citizens. you don't really know who is driving you. a lot can go wrong. it's important to under line we have no id what really happened and won't know until juan comes out of the surgery and lucid again. >> you photographed several days ago a funeral for a soldier, the pictures were very personal. i can't imagine how difficult it was to be there.

for all those people, the girlfriend, the fiancee of the soldier who was killed was clearly just, obviously, just devastated. what was that like? >> actually, the marine that was killed was a friend of the colleague i'm working with and we were driving around and talking about things and i said do you know of any funerals? we're seeing a lot of funerals coming out of lviv and very few in kyiv. he said actually a friend of mine is being buried today and i said would you mind calling and seeing if it's okay and it was so intimate and so personal and we went first to the morgue to meet the family to meet the fiancee and the mother and of course, they were sort of incon inconsolable. they were devastated. we just wanted to introduce ourselves and make sure it was okay to be there. it was such an intimate setting.

the mother and fiancee insisted on the casket being open and the soldier had been shot in the head and it was quite graphic and very intimate because there were just, you know, about a dozen soldiers in the room. they had -- they transferred his body to a cemetery and there was -- i have never been to a ukrainian funeral before so of course, with every country i work in, doctthere is a whole different ritual of death.bounds are. i don't know the rituals. i'm trying to be respectful. i'm trying to learn. i don't want to bother andre too much because it's his friend who died. it was all sort of very tough and we were really in a small intimate space and so as you can see, i mean, the mother leaned down and held the face of her son and kissed him and the fiancee was just devastated. i mean, their life was about to

start and now it's over. >> yeah, that -- i could tell in the picture the mother bending down to kiss her son, clearly he had been terribly physically badly wounded but it's so human that a mother who brought a child into the world still hugging and kissing her child no matter what at the end. just the mother's strength in that photo to me is just so universal. >> of course. i mean, that's sort of -- that's why it's so important to document these moments because these are people. these are human beings and we can't forget that and, you know, today we lost a colleague and my condolences to his family and loved ones and everyone who knew him. i think it's important to note that this is happening day in and day out to civilians who are non-combatants and to fighters. >> there is also new life in kyiv and i want to show a photo you took for a story in "the new

york times" about babies being born to surrogates. 19 babies in total. is there any hope of getting them out? can you tell us about what you saw? >> i mean, i'm not sure about the hope of getting them out. i think that's in the works. i personally received a few emails since that story ran and i've -- all i can do is put people in touch with maria who wrote the story as well as andrew cramer and let them take it from there. but i have to say that it was just this incredible sort of haven of beauty and life amidst this devastation, that i've been witnessing every single day and, you know, we've talked about the surrogate story since i've arrived because ukraine is such a place where a lot of people go for surrogates.

the timing wasn't right. a few days ago when we did the story and descended down the stairs and walked into the room, i didn't anticipate seeing 19 newborns in one room in numbered cribs all so, you know, so beautiful and happy. i mean, the beauty of newborns, of course, they have no idea what is going on around them. the world can be falling apart but they just have to be cared for and these nannies who are like angels who were just tending to them and staying behind to make sure they were fed and changed and cared for and so it was just this sort of beautiful scene of love and life. >> extraordinary. you think the first days of these baby's lives, which they will not remember, what they have i pray, survived and lived through without even having the memory of it. the pictures are just really, the story ex ordintraordinary.

thank you so much. >> thank you, anderson. if you want to see more of lindsey's pictures and reporting, go to the "new york times" website. for more on the war russia is conducting, the threat the could pose to the nato alliance. joining us is wesley clark. general clark, the attack on a military base 26 miles from here, less than a dozen miles from poland, how significant is that? u.s. national security advisor said if any strike whatsoever from russia made it into a nato country, it would quote bring the full force of the nato alliance to bear in responding to it. what does that actually mean? >> well, first of all, we don't know exactly what was at the base and i don't want to ask. i'm glad i don't know but that was a nato base set up as a nato training area 25 years ago in ukraine. and the attack apparently was

targeted because a junior ukrainian diplomat took a social media photo that identified the time and location and had all this stuff in the background and that was seized on by the russians who quickly got some long range targeting into that. it shows a lot of things. number one, it shows the sensitivity of trying to get supplies and additional reinforcements in. number two, that russia will attempt to intervene and number three, people on the licensetive. it shows russia is determined to push up to the very limits and when you add the rekesquest fore chinese troops and how nato evolved, you realize what a boiling pot of difficulty this

is for the west. just think, it was only nine months ago that president biden asked mr. putin to be a responsible citizen of the world and then play ball and be a stable partner. and now we got a situation where it's a horrible humanitarian tragedy, nato is on guard but standing back. there are efforts to get forces in but mariupol have bombing strikes and now putin has asked china to intervene. where does this end? how do we -- >> general, let me ask you. the last time you were on the program, you made the point for those people who are watching this thinking well, wait until this becomes a gorilla war and russian forces will get pounded. you made the point more needs to

be done now before it ever gets to be a gorilla war because there are a lot of different factors in a gorilla fight that may be at play and the russian strategy may be to pound cities into oblivion before it gets the a gorilla war. what needs to be done now? >> i think we've got to really take some higher level of risk to get the javelins and stingers in. i can't see exactly the right procedures. i know we're trying to do this. i know the ukrainians are trying to do it. do they have the air cover? can we not get them what are needed. they have a few dozen aircraft maybe to say another 30 aircraft or 25 wouldn't make a difference, that's non-sense. can we get them better air defense? can we please stop talking about putin's red lines and start thinking about our own red lines and how long we'll keep going. we need to go to the united

nations. how can the united nations watch something like this happening and not do something? we're in the world the united nations takes action with blue helmets and call for seize fire. is the united nations completely bankrupt in this case because of russia and if so, what does that mean to the whole rule based order that the president and his team are trying to make sure we protect? if we don't protect it here, how are we going to protect it in taijuan or nato? there are huge looming questions and we can't wish them away by saying let's give a few more stingers and hopefully the brave ukrainians can make this work. we have to, we have days to make the critical decisions on how to strengthen the ukrainian defense. if it's gone, it's gone and it's a whole new world. >> general wesley clark, appreciate your time tonight. thank you.

the russian air strike near the poll lish border on the oth side of lviv. one of the most vital systems, the rail system. despite the intensity of the russian attacks, the trains have continued to run throughout much of the country carrying supplies and women and children trying to get out or trying to move somewhere to safety. increasing the odds of ukraine survival. scott mcclain has more. >> reporter: first light in ukraine is the rising sun.

the city's lights have been kept off since the war began, more than two weeks exhausted overwhelmed and completely up ended normal life. but through it all, ukraine's rail network kept running. every morning, the rail ways executives led by 37-year-old o olexander join for a call, no cell phones, no zoom. a closed circuit phone system that connects every station. it won't stay here long. they can't. they believe they're a prime russian target. >> the strategy is to move fast so that they don't catch you. >> reporter: how long can you stay in one place? >> hours. >> reporter: instead, their work managing 231,000 employees continues on a single car train headed west. for now. of often, their work is aboard normal passenger trains to blend in with the masses. since the war began, they've

been in near constant motion criss-crossing the country. their decision to leave the headquarters in kyiv were made on february 24. he snapped one last picture with his two young kids, one still asleep. are they still in ukraine? how does that make you feel? >> for me, it's easier when they know they're safe. and i have time to do my job. >> reporter: the country's rail threaten work one of the largest in the world has been a lifeline in war. moving desperately needed supplies in and despite people out of danger more than 2 million since the invasion b began. schedules are drawn up the night before and changed in response to panic scenes like this one in kharkiv or in lviv in the early days of war. how on earth have people been able to use the trains in a war

zone? >> that's something that's surprising for the whole country and for the president, as well. >> reporter: surprising because every day the network is hit by russian bombs. small damage breaks the link between cities temporarily, a downed bridge indefinitely. near kharkiv an undetonated bomb fell next to the tracks. >> translator: we're reacting and repairing a raily u way und artillery shelling. some of my colleagues have been killed and injured during shelling. >> reporter: 33 killed. 24 injured and counting. the difficulty working aboard a moving train is the cell phone signal is not always great. they do have star link internet systems courtesy of elon musk but barely turn them on because they say it makes it easier for the russians to target their location. the russians have taken control of rail links in cities in mariupol and more.

but for now, all of the major hubs are still connected by ukrainian rail. how bad would it be if the russians took these major stations? >> really bad. don't ask me how bad but really bad. >> reporter: when the train reaches lviv, he makes a quick visit to the main station. and more meetings and a message for the rest of the world. >> what we can do we already do. what west can do, close thie sk. >> you mentioned your location in that. we're always very aware of the safety of the people that we are talking to. they're clearly not in that location anymore. >> exactly. we shot the story 48 hours ago. by now, they're on the next location. they were offered a place in president zelenskyy's bunker at the outset of the war but turned it down.

so now their travels take them to some of the most dangerous parts of the system. their logic being if we expect employee the to show up there, we should too really but it is dangerous. i mentioned the story, 33 employees killed. the latest on saturday. >> remarkable their still able to help so many people. thank you. appreciate it. just ahead with attacks taking place dangerously close to nato territory, we'll have analysis of vladimir putin's strategy and campaign against civilians. we'll be right back. lisa here, has had many jobs. she's worked in retail during the holidays. asas a barista during rush hou. and a nanny to a a couple of rambunctious kids. now, all that experience has led her to a job that feels like home. with home instead, you too can become a caregiver to older adults, with a career that makes a difference. ♪ apply today. ♪

tonight, we did scussed way vladimir putin decided to broaden the war. there is the attack near the polish border. then the report from cnn quoting senior u.s. official russia asked china for military assistance and of course, images like this of a tank taking aim at a building and a war getting more violent directed against civilians. i'm joined by cagary, the autho of "winter is coming" why

vladimir put and the enemies of the free world must be stopped. quite the title there. winter has certainly come to ukraine. you say that putin doesn't want deescalation. the world now sees him expanding the attacks into western ukraine hitting two air fields, at least and this military base near the polish border. do you think he wants a conflict with nato? >> he doesn't want a confrontation because he knows he'll lose but he believes nato will duck. nato will waffle. nato will awalk away as they always did. i wrote the book seven years ago and everyone thought i was crazy because republic of georgia in 2008 or annexed crimea in 2014 so we heard the voice, let's be pragmatic. you know, let's be prudent. let's not be over emotional. and putin kept winning. and now he's pushing even

further and he's using his last bluff, nuclear blackmail even works in ukraine why do you think he'll stop using it? dictators never ask why but why not? we see now from washington western capitals is a cover in favor of these guys with putin. >> i talked to a woman whose husband was volunteering to fight. she's sitting in a shelter tonight in a basement in a building with her three children and she's been there since the start of the war in kyiv. one of the things she said to me is she thinks that nato, that the west is more scared of vladimir putin than the ukrainians are. do you think that at times? >> absolutely. ukrainians are not scared of anything now. president zelenskyy and ukrainians, they have plenty of courage but they don't have

enough weapons. nato has plenty of weapons but not enough courage. i wonder if nato is afraid of putin or its own shadow? i think they all recognize if putin decides to use nuclear blackmail against poland or nato country, they have to be involved unless they want to disband. again, i don't know. what's the difference with the threat of military confrontation with russia in ukraine or on the boarders or territories of nato countries? there is only one difference. ukraine army still alive and fighting and you just heard a few minutes ago before my interview, you heard ukrainians say close the skies. we'll do the job. i have no doubt that ukrainians cannot just only fly damage from putin's war machine, they can destroy them if given adequate support. >> you know, i've talked to so many ukrainians that have relatives in russia, their parents, siblings and those parents and siblings don't believe what is happening to

their children and brothers and sisters here in ukraine and it's very easy to say that they're brainwashed and have disinformation and have been watching bias media for their entire lives. is that all that is? or a lot of ukrainians said to me, they think that there is -- that you can't give them that out all the time, that there is a lot of russians who simply adpre agree with what vladimir putin is doing here. >> i can argue with this point, yes. many russians agree. we have some data that suggest 30% of russians still support putin. about the same amount is against him and about 40% is in the middle in panic, in terror, in apathy. again, it's very proximate evaluation of the numbers in russia because no internet and no real way to verify but it sounds right when you look at the total lack of optimism from

ordinary people, no celebrations after annexation of cry imea in 2014 and hundreds and hundreds of people being arrested every day and thousands coming to the streets protesting knowing there will be beaten, detained and most likely spend long time behind bars. but it's also for many russians that don't believe the ukrainian relatives, it's not just the fact that russia is showing fakes on television and they believe everything we show is a fake. it's a psychological rejection of truth. if they accept the truth, they have to act and not so many people have courage because those protesting rational will be treated very harshly by putin's regime. >> what do you believe nato should do? >> at a minimum, no fly zone. absolute minimum.

there is more to come. let's start with this. and again, i want to see how many russian pilots, you know, subscribe. it's one thing for putin to give an order and another for those who have to carry it to put their lives at stake. so there is no way to avoid this confrontation. it's not if nato confronts putin in the skies of ukraine or nearby or on the ground. it's only webb. it's better to start now to do our terms than wait for putin to wage the war against the rest of the world on his terms because there will be no way out if he attacks nato countries. >> appreciate your time as always. thank you? thank you very much. as families flee the war zone, some families in america have chose to go here to help because they couldn't just watch. gary tuchman talked to anxious loved ones that stayed behind about their sacrifices. that's next.

refugees have been fleeing out of ukraine since the war began. some have come back to ukraine for help. gary tuckerman spoke to a family in pennsylvania who are temporarily missing a dad, a brother and a husband who all felt a calling to assist here in

the war effort. >> reporter: at this house in bucks county, pennsylvania, these ukranian american family members give each other comfort. all of these adults left ukraine for america more than two decades ago. but once this war started, things changed. her husband has gone back to ukraine, gone back to help his native country. >> i don't have any more tears left. i feel like i've cried them all out. it's very emotional. >> reporter: but ulia's husband did not go alone. her 16-year-old son valentin went with them and their daughter who recently married. and they have their husband and son in ukraine. it's complicated and sometimes overwhelming. >> i pray for my son, my husband, my son-in-law, for all of ukraine.
