a 24-year-old ukranian journalist was also killed in the attack. hall remains hospitalized with very serious injuries. this tragic news underscores the danger of covering this conflict. this past weekend world-renowned journalist brent renaud was killed outside kyiv. "anderson cooper 360" starts now. a senior official said something remarkable today about the war going into week 4. russian officials have made limited to no progress in achieving their objectives. limited to no progress, nearly 21 days in. at the same time nothing about that assessment in any way diminishes the kind of destruction even a bogged-down army can do or the threat it poses to human life. both are considerable and could even be growing. four people were killed today that we know of according to

kyiv's mayor in the shelling of the 16-story apartment building, one of at least four that were hit to the north, east and west of city central all within the space of an hour today. the capital, kyiv, is in a nighttime curfew which began earlier today. in mariupol, new images of utter devastation. this new video showing a portion of the destruction which the mayor said was upwards of 100 bombs falling on the city yesterday alone. here's what cnn told jake tapper tonight. >> in mariupol, people are living in hell. the damage is catastrophic. putin treats mariupol citizens like hostages. it's not about military men, because they understand that they can get mariupol with their

troops, so they use explosive to totally destroy the city. in the last five days, they don't stop bombing. they bomb all the time and our city is destroyed totally. totally. >> russian officials are holding doctors and patients captive in a hospital in the city. he said, in his words, it was practically destroyed a few days ago, but they continue to treat patients in the facility basement. 25,000 evacuees managed to make it out of mariupol today. from harky, which was shelled 65 times yesterday alone, which is a new figure, the head of 600

military, 600. this testifies to the commitment they had with no, the leaders traveling by train into the war. none of it could stop the parliament for a meeting. ♪ more than 350 of the 425 members today singing the national anthem before meeting in an emergency session. one lawmaker tweeting, we're not afraid because we're on our land, in our ukraine. ukraine's president speaking by video to congress tomorrow.

earlier today he addressed the canadian parliament. >> translator: what i'm trying to say, everyone needs to do more to stop russia. more needs to be done to protect ukraine, to protect europe from this absolute evil. they're destroying everything, memorial complexes, schools, hospitals, residential complexes. they already killed 97 ukranian children. we're not asking for much. we're asking for justice. for real support, which will help us defend our people and the whole world. >> we should point out the support that the u.s. and european countries have given out are enormous, however, it is not the no-fly zone that the president continues to ask for. the president will travel next week to brussels for a nato summit on the 24th. the president is a big believer in face-to-face diplomacy with

his counterparts. we have a lot to cover tonight. the russian forces have been taking taking their control in the city. what has changed? >> i think what's shocking is the russian presence we've seen grow over the weeks. initially the idea they might move into the eastern town of hetasan. they're moving to the city where i'm standing, in odesa. in the outskirts of that city, this is what we saw earlier on today. this is the road down which russia's war of annihilation may lurch, and its emptiness speaks only of what is to come, from russian-held kherson to the

viable support of nicolai. they know what it is to be in russia's way. out of 18 homes, ten are left. in our village she says no electricity, gas, water or heat. the only ones left are those who can't leave and other adds. they're young, enl -- edgy, guns raised. unsure who we are. the arms slowly come down and we apologize. but this is not an army in full control of its destiny. the trenches aware the rockets land every night. some are from odesa, moscow's target here, others just down

the road. >> it's important to see what tools ukraine has been left with in a world so concerned. they fight for their homes but they captured russians who seemed unaware of why they were here. they said they can't understand what's going on. he said they can't go back because back there they're being shot for retreating, so they advance or surrender. dust in mykolaiv has sounded like this for weeks. broken morale takes different forms and this is a police chief driving a birthday gift to a governor with a captive machine gun attached to it. it does not distract from the seriousness of the twilight world in which his colleagues work.

a drunk man changing his car battery after curfew could be a russian saboteur, they fear. there really is no way to check by looking at phones and into trunks. the city is dark, but there are lights and the flash of a distant enemy's bombs. an urgent hospital call for blood has rang out. they rush for help. they are targeted, miserable at how dark this fourth floor keeps itself at night. invisible not from a power cut but to avoid russian bombs. mykolaiv has been fearing encirclement for days. there is heart break for those

who leave. the shared agony still a tussle to get onto buses. the men stay. >> this is my home. >> and there is heart break for those who stay. svetlana lost her husband in a rocket attack sunday that killed nine outside a shop. the violence here is a chain of

moments of blinding grief. >> pieces left to wonder alone. >> that woman, her husband lying there still in a pool of blood. were you surprised what the ukrainians told you that the russian soldiers had said to them about being shot? if they go backwards, they go forward, but they don't really know what they're doing? >> some of it we have to say with a degree of skepticism the things we're told by one side about the other. and bear in mind the geneva convention about war. but it is interesting because it

possibly helps explain why we've seen these stilted advance ment by russian troops here. we've seen tanks left by the side of the road intact and then taken over by the ukranian military. it does seem as though the morale of the russian troops as they advance is certainly compromised. they don't necessarily at times seem to have a full advance ahead of them. it just seems to be, frankly, a mess at times. so that might possibly be explained by what we heard from that ukranian soldier saying if they do move back from it, they face possibly death from their own fellow soldiers, and if they stay forward, they lack the conviction to do that. it's hard to tell, but it has been increasingly complex to understand exactly why we're seeing these sort of messy movements on behalf of russian soldiers over the past weeks,

and so much abandoned armor and at times the moments where the ukrainians don't seem to understand what the russian involvement has been, too. that isn't necessarily the full picture because we haven't heard from those russian soldiers ourselves. it is still interesting to hear that's what the russian tells me, he's dead. they were just outside kyiv when according to fox their vehicle was hit by incoming fire. hall survived and is hospitalized tonight. a ukranian journalist was also killed in the incident. this comes days after journalist brett renaud was shot.

i talked to clarissa ward who has just left. >> anderson, every death in a war zone is a tragedy, but this one definitely hit home. i first worked herfor fox in 20 and he's one of the most talented, gracious people you could ever imagine working with. he really was the real deal. he cared so much about these stories. every war zone you went to, pierre was there. he had a booming voice and a big smile but he was also deeply devoted to his family.

recall fortunately he had this tremendous joy in. and this story, never had an unkind word to say about anyone. >> and somebody who had the lifetime of experience that he had. >> huge in experience, very cautious, very security conscious. always had athe strength in a newsroom. it's a total free-for-all. and this is the story that so

many ukrainians are feeling every single day, so it gives mou ourselves a heartache for more of the story. >> people were looking for people who sold out. you could see it was dangerous when you were there, but that seems to be a typicallily. that's what blenlt. journalists can't go into irpin anymore because it's sbok. they're direct fire, they're small arms firing mpls and

became indrcredibly difficult a journalists, too, when we could ult mimately pay a very heavy prils for that. >> you've been doing extraordinary work, as usual. what was it like leaving kyiv, just getting out? but i'm also -- knowing you, leaving must be a difficult decision in many ways. >> it's agonizing. in fact, my team said, are you sure you want to leave? the second we leave, you'll have a plug. it's hard to walk away from a story like this, even for a temporary reset. we woke up this afternoon for a mass missile crashing into a residential area. then we basically loaded up our vehicles, made the 10-hour drive, and it's only as you start getting further and

. just within the last several moments, we're told air raid sirens started going off again in kyiv. b while they're a daily occurrence, they said it's an incredibly busy day for kyiv. russian forces apparently stalled outside kyiv clearly within artillery range, and civilians, as always, are paying the price. a 2412-hour curfew is in place, but shortly before air time of shelling in the background, i spoke with kira reddick. >> ms. reddick, what's the situation you've been seeing and

hearing in kyiv? it's currently under curfew. >> for right now and the last 24 hours, there has been shelling of war. i don't know if you can hear the recording, but there is constant explosions and boom, boom, boom. so it's in the air and it's on the outskirts of. >> you said that's a preparation for the next step, the next step of russia's attempt to invade. >> yeah, russia's attempt to invade kyiv. we assume they will attack today or tomorrow. this is why people are advised not to go out in the streets of the war, and this is why our military is getting ready and the most upsetting point here

right now is we are ready to fight. we have been training they are part of our existence. many we have enough food supply and waurlt. this is why we have been asking tore help and many r-- what is happening right now, we can do nothing for. we need jets, we need support, we need additional air protection. i feel helpless because it is out of my control, absolutely out of control what is happening and what is about to happen. and this is why we've been

pleading, continuously sore, for a no flight show. ly -- it would just be in the air right now. >> they came to kyiv, partly largely symbolic, but the fact they came to kyiv, what does that say to you? >> that neighboring countries are looking at ways to support ukraine. i believe in my heart that at some point we will be given all the means that we do need right now. i'm super afraid that at some point it will be too late. this is why the meeting today and the visit is very symbolic, but it's also a way to figure

breaking news right now. president biden will unveil, we've learned, a new package for military officials in ukraine. they include anti-tank missiles but leave out the no-fly zone or fighter jets president zelenskyy has been asking for. the aid would provide more exclusive weapons like javelins or stingers. that could happen after president zelenskyy speaks to u.s. tomorrow. they show the unpredictable if you arey -- we'll see what

happens. the rescue effort goes on with a nearby hit. the video shows people diving for cover not knowing when the next artillery fire or bomb will fall. president zelenskyy said, as he put it, he wants to close the sky with the polish and czech ministers, he totally trusts his partners, but what china wants to give and what the u.s. wants to give remain apart. he's currently lieutenant colonel in the air national guard. congressman, thank you for being with us. the biden administration is expected to lay out more military aid, a new military aid

package for yuk. ly -- i assume you support that. you've talked about a no-fly zone in the past. where are you at on this in terms of what the scope has been? >> it's been good. obviously we're seeing the devastating effects to the russian military from it. ukraine is significantly outnumbered. russia has made it clear, vladimir putin has made it clear that he will not lose, which is why we're worried about he is igs. what i worry about, anderson, as russia begins to ask away, and i'm hoping i'm correct me if i'm wrong r.

nov ukraine has the right to defend their skies, but i would like to see better anti-air fiflz that go higher range. there is a lot more to do, but i do commend warm. some of this may come frm a lot of it comes from tanks and artillery on the ground, nrlt missiles being tired from long

rong range ir r all of ukraine. obviously you have to watch when artillery is fired, because the altitude. you don't want to fly over it. i don't think that would be a huge problem with shutting down the skies. but i think the reality is we're kind of allowing right now vladimir putin to set the battle tem tempo. we're allowing him to threaten escalation and we're more eager to say what we won't do. that's my fear, we're absolutely doing a better job of deter ring. i do worry about what happens when this goes into chemical weapons, and i think the president should in a case clear

that the party of destruction is something nato will introduce. it somewhat angered him in russia and in europe. do you think it a very real possibility chemical weapons could be used here? >> i do. i think it's a very real possibility. they're trying to lose it for him given the logistics and everything. another area of the administration you should certainly be looking is remembered. you name it. maybe it's time for us not to nl.

welcome back to out of coverage from lviv, ukraine. you can hear air raid sirens going off. it's the middle of the night here, it's at least the fourth time we've heard air raid sirens. i've spent time with american veterans of wars in iraq and afghanistan, three americans who have come here on their own dime, wanting to help train volunteers so they can fight alongside the city defense force if and when lviv is attacked. >> reporter: in lviv, men who have never fought now train for war. they practice clearing rooms in a stack formation.

using hand signals to move in silence. it's a two-week crash course in combat. the bare essentials to stay alive. >> it looked really great. >> as always, just keep clear of that doorway, right? >> reporter: matt gallagher served in iraq. adrian barn berger did too, in afghanistan. both came here from america to help. outside, ben bush prepares another group of volunteers. he served two tours in iraq as a marine. >> there's suspected patrol in the area, we're not sure. any questions? >> reporter: ben, matt, and adrian are not working for the u.s. military or government. they're not being paid by anyone. they bought their own tickets here and are doing this for

free. why did you want to be here? >> i came to this country for the first time in 2015. i fell in love with the country. i met my wife here. so it was a personal connection. >> and our personal connection was to him and to the overall effort of a democracy fighting to be a democracy. >> i kind of landed on an old line from "for whom the bell tolls." "for what are we born if not to aid one another?" looking at my two young sons and thinking of that line, i felt this was a unique opportunity to help show them how to be the men, the grown-up aadults i aspire for them to be. >> reporter: two weeks ago, the volunteers they train had no idea how to clear a building or move as a unit. most have never fired a gun before. >> these are teachers, bus drivers. >> welders. >> who want to protect their

neighborhoods, protect their homes, many of whom never thought they would be in this position. >> we've been doing everything we can to give them the tools that they need to survive because they're going to defend their city one way or another. >> reporter: some have modern rifles, but others train with antique ones loaned by a local gun collector. i think i saw, is it a tommy gun? >> that would be from the collection. >> i mean, is that literally like a tommy gun from the 1930s? >> yeah. they've got some weird machine gun i've only seen in movies before. >> this is what they have here now. if the war comes here, that's arguably what they'll have to fight with. and they're here every day, dutifully, working as diligently as any marines i've ever trained, and i've trained a lot. and they don't complain. they continue to move. they are at the point now, we've

worked progressionally to make the leaders emerge, because leadership is going to be necessary for coordination, for anything. and they have emerged. we now know that there's bone to this organization. and that gives me a great deal of confidence because i'm not going to be here forever. that's hard for me, the closer i get to them. >> we'll do it again differently later, right? always differently. well done.

they're maximum cool. >> reporter: they're maximum cool? >> yeah. i think they came here and teaching us, i appreciate that a lot. >> reporter: ben, adrian, and matt hope when they leave, other combat veterans will come and continue their mission. >> you don't have to come here as a combatant at all, you can come and do this, on a very basic level. if you have a specialty, if you have an urge, this is how it's applied. it's not imaginary, it's not magical. >> this is what the germans and french did for us during the american revolution, people came over and helped us train. >> it reminds americans of all ideologies, however they feel about this war, these are everyday people who want the same things that you and i want back home, right? peace, prosperity, opportunity for a be
