hello, welcome to our viewers around the world and in the u.s. live in lviv, ukraine. russia is now asking china for economic but also military assistance in ukraine. including drones according to a u.s. official. but a spokesperson for the chinese embassy says they know nothing about the request. m meeting in rome in the coming

hours. we'll monitor the discussions. sullivan says china was aware president vladimir putin was planning something before the russian invasion of ukraine, but they may not have understood the full extent. he added beijing will face consequences if they help moscow evade sanctions. over the war in ukraine. we're also today expecting another round of talks between ukraine and russia. in the hours ahead. even as moscow expands its military assault on the neighbor. meantime the u.s. secretary of state spoke about ongoing diplomatic efforts with ukraine foreign minister. while the british prin minister spoke with ukraine president. despite the relentless assault from russia, zelenskyy the country president remains defiant and determined. >> russia also lost thousands of units of military weapon ri.

74 planes, 86 helicopters. we understand they have more. we know we shall continue defending ourselves. ukraine doesn't surrender. the army doesn't surrender. the people do not surrender. the whole ukraine is fighting. >> meantime russia offensive is spreading to western ukraine. where missiles hit a military base. near the city of lviv. close to the border with nato member poland. well, a local official says at least 35 people were killed. we heard the explosions from our position here in lviv. more than 24 hours ago. and the white house national security adviser warning that any attack on nato territory will trigger a full response by the alliance. as the conflict grinds on, one thing seems increasingly clear, russia military attacks against ukraine are growing more

destructive. he's cnn -- >> reporter: the attack on the military base is the closest russian attack to to a nato member. the missiles hit 11 miles if poland. killing 35 people. according to the lviv military administration. and wounding 100 others. russia full skag invasion growing more destructive by the day. near the city, on the black sea, nine people were killed in a russian bombardment. and satellite images show the city burning. russia besieged the city for days. leaving hundreds of thousands without power and water. 200,000 people have been killed there since the invasion began. ukrainian president zelenskyy says help is on the way. if it can get through. >> humanitarian convoy is two hours away.

we're doing everything possible to fight the resistance of the occupants. who block the priests escorting the convoy with food, water and medication. ukraine has supplied 100 tons of the basic necessities for citizens. >> among those killed in the war, american journalist. russian forces shot him outside of kyiv. according to police. another journalist was wounded. >> the driver turned around and kept shooting. two of us. >> the widening attack on ukraine hasn't deterred the u.s. and nato allies from shipping in weapons and equipment that prove effective in slowing down russia. >> we believe we will continue to be able 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. >> multiple rounds of negotiations have led 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. i have to say as your reporter said, so far, it appears vladimir putin is intent on destroying ukraine. >> ukraine resistance slowed the russian advance towards the capitol city of kyiv. russia has so far been unable to encircle the city. u.s. is watching for any threat of chemical weapons from russia. in a possible false flag operation. >> it is of the russian play book. that they accuse you of they're planning to do. we haven't seen anything indicating an imminent chemical attack. we're watching this closely. >> a russian air strike saturday night damaged the holy mission monastery. according to ukraine par limb. the historic church sheltered more than 500 displaced people. the first major ukrainian city to fall to russia. protest held a mass rally.

marching with armed russian troops. a brazen show of spirit for ukraine. in the square which means freedom. another $200 million in security assistance to by the white house. after they approved 350 million a couple weeks ago. we see the white house and biden administration moving quickly here. again within a couple week. more than half a billion dollars. where this used to take weeks and months to get in. it's getting in within days. antitank and antiaircraft missiles. and more. for more on russia request for economic and military aid from china, joined by cnn in beijing. any response from the kchinese government to the request russia made? >> nothing so far. we have reached out to the foreign minister. when they come out to conduct

the daily press briefing in two hours. i expect the usual talking points. stressing the supposed impartiality in the conflict. and likely the denouncing the u.s. effort to quote on quote smear china. and again blaming the u.s. and nato east ward expansion for the conflict. that of course is also parroting a key kremlin talking point much the timing of the leaks from washington is interest. jake sullivan the u.s. national security adviser is meeting the counter part also a key adviser to president xi jinping in rome. in the coming hours. the chinese have been framing the meeting as a long planned. not something hastily arranged because of the situation in ukraine. ukraine is on top of the agenda. and probably in the anticipation of washington exerting more pressure on beijing. the state media has been pushing back and warning against the

approach and cautioning the u.s. not to try to sew division between moscow and beijing. almost from the very beginning of the war, china obviously has been trying to strike the impossible balance. standing behind russia especially when it comes to parroting the kremlin propaganda and disinformation. trying to at least publicly say the right things in term of calling for peace talks and also what reiterating the respect for national sovereignty. also trying to minimize the impact of western sanctions on chinese entities. and some have been pointing to subtle sign of change from beijing. including china providing small scale mum humanitarian assistance to ukraine and some chinese companies and institutions with large exposure to the west indicating their willingness to comply with western sanctions. at the end of the day, a lot of people say china seems to have adopted this same everything by doing nothing strategy. from beijing perspective facing no concrete benefits to get

deeply involved in a war. not fought on their soil. anything no matter what happens on the bat the field, would have no choice but to move closer into china as a jr. partner in the so called no limit partnership. that's why a lot of people are skeptical of beijing willingness to get directly involved in the conflict. especially providing arms to russia. >> thanks very much. the british prime minister will host representatives meet tuesday to discuss shoring up european security and increasing defe defensive military support to ukraine. according to to a statement. the leaders are expected to talk about joint military exercises and the high north and baltic region. joining me now in france. with more.

obviously for many many weeks, months, before russia decided to implement its invasion plans for ukraine, all these western countries, european union countries, nato countries, tried to stop vladimir putin by threatening sanctions. how badly did may misread the situation and could this have been prevented with another strategy on their part? >> i think that it's obvious the level of awareness of this. and yet the under preparedness is where the contrast is. the so many years now, especially since 9/11. and the military focus the intelligence community focus. is being on the so called war on terror. and cyber security. those kinds of questions. i think the former cold war era kind of relations. there was fear of escalation.

nuclear conflict and so on. really was not on the agenda. these european countries also divested massively from defense. and there's a very low tolerance among europeans for troops on the ground, military conflict and so on. and yet, all the way back to 2014, is where this conflict started. and occupation in the south, subsequently to the east of ukraine. i don't think they anticipated that putin would be willing to enter because of the questions of sanctions. because of the pipeline project. in many ways they were caught unprepared by this latest and violent incursion. >> what happens now, what are the options? they are choosing economic war right now. obviously supplying weapons to ukraine. ukrainians say they need more and need those weapons faster.

will their approach work? what needs -- what more needs to be done? they're saying no to a no fly zone. that's clear. >> yes. it is clear. however as we saw over the weekend, the highly staged meeting that president macron held as the presidency of the european union. at the versailles palace brought together the leadership. and as much as they made a crucial statement of rekindle unity and so on, what emerged from the meeting were deep fractures over what we could call the two europes. the older europe on the western side. and the new europe to the east. the baltics that you mention. poland and so on. highly concerned about what is happening with the neighbor in ukraine. they have long standing history with both soviet union and russia. and obviously concerned about the ways in which the situation was developing. and their goal was to fast track

ukrainian membership. i think fast tracking ukrainian membership and was of concern to the western powers because this would mean getting involved on the ground. and the other thing that's playing out is in the realm of the public opinion in europe. we very much see people the most vocal listening carefully to the messages out of ukraine. which is over the business of the no fly zone. and whether or not these individuals or groups fully understand the risk and implications and escalating in that particular way. the fact is that their support for the measures i think reveal a real kind of feeling of helplessness. desperation and frustration. the rising death toll and all on the tv screen. the hundreds of thousands of individuals that are displaced. and what they see as the inevitable total destruction of the country. and simply because of the win of

the russian autocrat. it maybe interesting to see how public opinion ends up pushing the conflict. in a new direction. and greater involvement on the ground. from european troops. >> right. and so, obviously this is what european and nato allies are trying to avoid. they do not want direct involvement in the conflict. they don't want to directly have to fight russian troops whether it's in the air or ground. i wonder we saw and heard it from our position. that vladimir putin will not hesitate to go after military installations. extremely close to nato member poland. a few kilometers away. hitting that, killing 35 people. this was a military training facility. if and the u.s. said they will honor their commitment within nato. by accident or design the russians hit a nato member

country, then what? where are we here? is it world war three? >> i'm playing this out with you. as we go. suddenly that red line was stated. in vladimir putin's mind, the war is already going there the us and them. the west providing military support, infrastructure support and so on. the line is clear. as to who the enemy is. we have seen threats to nuclear power stations. there is the risk of chemical weapons. which is an incredible escalation. and the risk that one of the neighboring countries that are either members of the eu or nato members is what we're talking about here. will get it would leave little choice for this to go to another level. and to escalate. it's almost as if throughout the

process, vladimir putin has known the play book of the west. he was told. if you invade the pipeline deal is off. he's well aware of the reluctance to put troop on the ground and the fear of nuclear escalation. that he put out there. i think the if it crosses over into eu or nato territory, all the arguments that have been used against getting further involved go out the window. and you are seeing a physical presence on the ground and heightening of control of the air space and so on. that would be absolutely impossible to avoid. >> let's hope we don't get there. thanks very much for joining us. u.s. lawmakers are in poland to meet with european officials. will their push to send fighter jets to ukraine be effective? plus. ukraine train system is a reliable mainstay of daily life during peacetime. how rail operators are keeping

5,000 people were evacuated using the humanitarian corridors. 4,000 fl the kyiv region and 1,600 able to escape from the -- a group of bipartisan u.s. lawmakers are in poland. to meet with officials. humanitarian crisis that has been created by the russian invasion. and this comes days after the u.s. congress approved massive funding bill authorizing billions of dollars in aid for ukraine. we're on capitol hill with more on that. >> the u.s. senate delegation poland over the weekend extremely busy. u.s. troops. deployed to poland and on sunday heading out to the border to speak with refugees. all of this drawing attention to the need for more military and humanitarian aid to ukraine.

including the controversial proposal to provide military aircraft to the ukrainian air force. by way of a transfer with the polish government. the pentagon said they don't like the idea because they see it as potentially provocative. what was clear is that there continues to be a bipartisan sentiment that this idea about the planes is not off the table. >> what we have heard from the ukrainians is they want them badly. they want the ability to have better control over the sky. in order to give them a fighting chance. i don't understand why we're not doing it. >> one of the things we have to remember is this is all about air defense. and you can do it with planes, drones, which has been effective. in ukraine. you have to remember it's not just america. there's also allies that we're working on. we coordinated on the sanctions and coordinating on the issue of the planes. we also are coordinating in many

other ways. some of which don't get on your air ways for good reason. it's in the middle of the war. >> we should provide the planes. they are potentially very important. to the ukrainian defense. >> here at capitol in the coming week we expect to see more legislation aimed at punishing russia for the invasion of ukraine. including the proposal to revoke russia's most favored nation trading status. speaker nancy pelosi said she would like to get that passed by theened oeft week. -- end of the week. >> despite the bombardments, ukraine rail way system continues to be a reliable lifeline for people. if you can imagine you can take a train to kyiv. from this part of the country. fears of being targeted by russia are a challenge for all of its operators. we have that story.

>> reporter: first light in chernobyl ukraine is the rising sun. the city lights have been kept off since the war began. more than two weeks that exhausted, overwhelmed and completely up ended normal life. but through it all, ukraine rail net work kept running. every morning, rail ways executives led by 37 year-old gather for a morning call. no cell phones, no zoom. just a soviet era closed circuit phone system that connects every station. they won't stay here long. they can't. they believe they're a prime russian target. >> the strategy is move fast. so they don't catch me. >> how long can you stay in one place? >> hour. >> instead. the work managing 230,000 employees continues on a single car train. headed west. for now. often the work is aboard

ordinary passenger trains to blend in with the masses. since the war began they have been in near constant motion. crossing the country to keep the russians guessing. the decision to leave their headquarters in kyiv was made in the early morning hours of february 24. snapping one last picture with his two young kids. one still asleep. >> are they still in ukraine? >> how does that make you feel? >> it's easier. when they know they're safe. and i have time to do my job. >> the country rail net work one of the largest in the world. has been a lifeline in war. moving needed supplies in and desperate people out of danger. more than two million since the invasion began. schedules are drawn up the night before and changed in response to scene like this one in kharkiv. or lviv. in the early days of war.

>> how on earth have people still been able to use the trains in war zone? >> that's something which is surprising for the whole country. and the president as well. >> surprising because every day the net work is hit by russian bombs. small damage breaks the link between cities temporarily. a downed bridge. indefinitely. undetonated bomb fell next to the track. >> we are reacting. and repairing rail way even under artillery shelling every day. unfortunately, some of my colleagues have been killed and injured. during shelling. >> 33 killed. 24 injured. and counting. >> the difficulty working aboard a moving train is that the cell phone signal is not always great. they do have star link internet now. courtesy of musk. they barely ever turn them on because it makes it easier for the russians to target their location. the russians have taken control of the rail links in cities.

but for now, all of the major hubs are still connected by ukrainian rail. >> how bad would it be if the russians took the major stations? >> really bad. don't ask me how bad. real bad. >> when the train reaches lviv, he makes a quick visit to the main station. and more calls and meetings. a message for the rest of the world. >> what we can do. what west can do. close the sky and the rest we'll do ourselves. still ahead. new video shows russian tanks firing inside a ukrainian city where aid workers say hundreds of thousands of people are trapped. unable to escape. our breaking news coverage continues after the break. and remember, if you want to help the people of ukraine, you can go to cnn.com/impact.

russia and ukraine are expected to hold another round of talks in the coming hours. officials on both sides signal they're making some progress. so far negotiations haven't yielded any major breakthroughs. on the ground, meantime in ukraine, the fighting rages on. this video is from the besieged city. and shows russian tanks firing directly inside the city. officials say hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped inside the city. and aid workers say food, water and medicine are running out quickly. that heavy fighting prevented humanitarian aid from reaching the city. meanwhile russia expanded the offensive into western ukraine. it carried out a deadly strike on a military base yesterday. just 25 kilometers from poland border and nato ally. ukrainian officials say at least 35 people were killed.

and more than 130 injured. and ukraine president is warning that russian strikes could soon hit beyond ukraine borders. and renewing his calls for a no fly zone. >> if you do not close our sky, it's only a matter of time before russian missiles fall on your territory. nato territory. on the homes of citizens of nato countries. >> earlier i spoke with malcolm davis a senior analyst and defense strategy and capability at the australian policy institute. i asked about the risks involved with russia bombing so close to the polish border. >> i think when you see the place it in the context of the warning by the russian government earlier. about treating western arm shipments into ukraine as a hostile act. and willingness on the part of the russians to intercept or frustrate those shipments.

i think this attack on that base near poland i think falls into place. clearly the russians are trying to send a message that they will extend military operations across into western ukraine. both to attack the ukrainian government forces and potentially to attack any shipments of military supplies from nato. into ukraine. >> what about russia request to china for more military and economic aid? china is obviously playing it cool. china is can't be happy about what's happening right now. plan on this year being the post covid recovery year. this is really messing with its economic recovery. because commodity prices are going through the roof. how do you see the russia china relationship going? >> as you say, beijing is going to treat this very carefully.

they don't want to rush in and become in the putin war. and be essentially hit with the similar sanctions russia is hit with. because if they do supply military assistance to russia, they are deliberately breaking the international sanctions regime providing armed assistance to the aggressor. that would completely under mine their international posture. i am struggling to see where the chai nose would gain from doing this beyond having putin in their debt. >> several ukrainian cities have fallen now under russian occupation. the residents are not going quietly.

this was the scene sunday morning. hundreds of people tumpb turns out for a large protest since the invasion began. at least one russian soldier fired over their heads. to try to disperse the crowd. the protesters continued to chant antirussian slogans and slurs. aimed at vladimir putin. the mayor says his city main weapon is unity. clearly they don't want the russian invaders there. and in another troubling development, the staff at the chernobyl nuclear power plant are so tired they have stopped carrying out repairs and maintenance of safety equipment. according to to the international energy agency. saying the physical and psychological fatigue of working non-stop for nearly three weeks is partly to blame. the agency director general proposed a plan to deliver assistance. but obviously it does need to be a approved. by ukrainian and russian

authorities. that are occupying this plant before anything is implemented. i'll see you with more from lviv here in ukraine at the top of the hour. for now, back to you in atlanta. thank you. now some ukrainians living abroad are now returning home to fight for their country. we meet one such family in the united states. , plus have high blood pressure. they may not be able to take just anything for pain. that's why doctors recommend tylenol®. it won't raise blood pressure the way that advil®, aleve®, or motrin® sometimes canan. for trusted relief, trust tylenol®.

recap of the hour top developments. u.s. official says russia is asking china for military assistance. that includes drones in ukraine. spokesperson for the embassy in washington said he doesn't know anything about that report. now earlier i spoke with cnn political and national security analyst. about the latest developments. and what he thinks the u.s. moved to make the information public. >> all through this war and the run up to the war, what we have seen is that consistent effort by the biden administration to declassify intelligence. and make it public for america's benefit. what does this do by revealing this? it makes putin look as if he has bitten off more than he can chew and going to the chinese to bail him out of a military operation

that he hadn't thought entirely through. this drives vladimir putin crazy and because he hates to be seen as sort of a state to the richer and powerful chinese. secondly the chinese in a really tough spot. it was only three weeks ago this weekend that the security conference that the foreign minister of china told us that china respects sovereignty and the independence of nations and he added and that includes ukraine. so they can't be happy with what putin has done. and now by revealing this, the u.s. is put the chinese in a really tough spot. if they say yes, and give the aid to russia, then they're going back on what they said publicly. three weeks ago. if they say no, it becomes clear that the alliance of the sort that was a announced between

putin and xi at the opening of the olympics in january is isn't worth much. >> yeah. it is definitely taking a either way down the road. the u.s. is cornering them on that. i want to go to whether or not there can be a negotiabilitied settlement on this. in the last few hours, you posted a fairly pessimistic story. vladimir putin knows this isn't going well. is there something that can be exploited there? we discussed china. as you also point out we have the leaders of turkey and israel. now trying as well. >> turkey, israel and france. and all talking about basically the same thing. some kind of deal in which ukraine would declare that it is neutral. change its constitution. which currently calls for it to

seek membership in nato. we have already heard president zelenskyy say that he might be able to live with this. because he's come to recognize that nato isn't going to let him in any time soon. the harder part would be the russian demand that ukraine recognize that crimea is now a part of russia. and recognize the two semi-independent states that russia has recognized. >> our thanks to cnn political and national security analyst. now still to come here for us, his retirement -- was that really retirement? we'll te tell you tom brady says he's coming back for his 23rd nfl season. you want to hear the back story.

>> i'm proud for my son, my husband. for my son-in-law. for all ukraine. i'm proud. >> before her husband flew to ukraine, he was presented with helmets and bullet proof vests by a local police department. they are now part of a supply distribution network to ukrainians. she and her family and friends arranged for cases of supplies to be flown into poland several days a week. they pick up the supplies and drive them across the border to ukraine and distribute them. they also drive refugees from ukraine to poland. >> we have packed things like armored vests, helmets, gauze, turn kits, two-way radios, medicine. >> their primary location for delivery, the ukrainian military

base that was just hit by a deadly russian attack. when she heard about the attack, she was extremely frightened. >> i couldn't think. i couldn't think. i felt like i had white now's in my ears. >> reporter: a short time later she heard from her husband. they were all okay. but the fear for her family, and her fears for ukrainian civilians have resulted in -- >> panic attacks, unfortunately. just unbelievable sadness and sorrow for the suffering. >> reporter: their three children are 9, 7 and 3. their parent are very upfront with them about what's going on. >> do you think your dad is brave? >> yes. >> reporter: how come? >> because he went to ukraine and there is a big war there. >> reporter: are you worried about him? >> yes. >> reporter: you're a good daughter to be worried about him. but he promised he'll be okay,

right? and that makes you feel good. >> yes. >> reporter: before we leave, she tries to call her husband. but there is no answer. she knows he's probably just fine. but once again, she worries and hopes for a callback soon. >> i'll keep watching ukrainian soldiers telling us that they're winning and telling us that everything will be over soon. so this is what gives me strength and i don't give in to the panic. >> reporter: do you believe in your heart that it will be over soon and victory will be ukraine's? >> victory will be ukraine's. i believe that with all may heart. i hope that it is soon. so the 2022 baftas were held in london sunday kicking off with a statement of support for the people of ukraine and it was a popular theme for the entire evening. actors and filmmakers wore blue

and yellow pins or ribbons to show support. some called on the u.k. to step up and do more to help the people of ukraine. that was including filmmakers stuck inside the country. >> we all feel what is happening in ukraine is absolutely horrific and disgusting and you know, if anything, we just have to make it really known loudly and clearly that we want the british government to do more. they're not doing enough. >> supporting ukraine and the brothers and sisters, homes and families at risk. and to just be ever present of the horrors among this celebration. it's a two and a half hour flight from here. so our neighbors are experiencing war. >> reporter: and this also happen. actress and comedian insulted vladimir putin while introducing sign language interpreters,
