tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  March 17, 2022 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT

7:00 pm
ukraine. what makes her such a great reporter, she sees these moments others might miss. she has an ability to capther them and weave them into the story she's telling. we talk about that and why those moments are important. i also have a conversation with clarissa ward in another podcast and nick paten walsh. if you want to listen scan the qr code on your screen or you can just find it on your favorite podcast. it's called tug-of-war. stay with cnn for the latest from ukraine. the news continues right now. i want to turn things over to don who's in slovakia tonight. don? >> reporter: anderson, as you know this is the biggest humanitarian crisis in europe since world war ii and the nato and u.s. are going to have to do a lot of assuring to the people here to ensure they know they're on their side. also the defense secretary lloyd austin met today with his
7:01 pm
slovakian counterpart. i'm going to be traveling him. i'll be interviewing him in just hours, but here on the ground, anderson, i am struck by the people who are involved in this and who are escaping ukraine. i met a little boy today who is 11 years old. he traveled 600 miles. we're going to talk about that in a minute, but they are really walking a tightrope as to you heard the secretary saying it is a direct conflict if they start giving fixed wing planes to the ukrainians, and he doesn't want to get involved with that. that tightrope they're walking could possibly lead them to world war 3, and that is a position to be in. >> look, it's something that's been very contentious here. obviously the ukrainians would like as much support from the u.s. and nato as possible. they would like the skies
7:02 pm
shutdown. part of the problem it's not just aircraft, it's also artillery that the russians have. and as, you know -- as the defense secretary austin has pointed out repeatedly actually patrolling a no-fly zone takes hundreds of aircraft, and you're not just threatening to shoot down russian planes. you then have to go after anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and that is a direct confrontation, which is something clearly the u.s. and its nato partners do not want at this point. >> yeah. listen, i don't know if you -- i hope you don't mind me sharing this, but i've been watching you over the last couple of weeks and you've been really affected by this, and who wouldn't be but especially since now you have children. and watching you listening you talk to that photographer today and the video of, you know, the son crying over his mother and the photographer talking about being a mother and giving birth, and just -- i mean, this is just
7:03 pm
unbelievable to witness. and we cannot let go of the humanity here. we have to keep focus on it. it's just -- it's horrible. >> yeah. that was heidi levine, great photographer who's been doing this for some 40 years. she works for "the washington post." i think it's important not to -- we broadcast this every night, and, you know, don, you have and it's easy for these images to become wallpapers in peoples minds. they see it every day and think okay another building that's been bombed. i think it's important to step back as often as possible and point out it's not the same every day. it's people -- for each person who is killed on that day, for each loved one who suddenly now has a gaping hole in their heart and in their family that will always exist, it is the worst day imaginable. it's not just another day, and what people are going through
7:04 pm
every single day, the horror of it repeats. and the least i think we can do is keep -- keep our eyes on it and keep seeing it with fresh eyes and keep seeing it with fresh outrage because it's not something we should ever get used to. >> yeah. and i can't wait for you to meet this little 11-year-old boy, anderson. you and our audience and the world. thank you, anderson. be safe, get some rest we'll see you tomorrow. this is don lemon tonight and as we've been discussing i am ibeastern europe, in slovakia, in fact, ukraine's neighbor. and we spent time today talking to people about the war raging right across their border including an 11-year-old boy who's becoming a folk hero. he traveled 600 miles from ukraine. he did it all alone by himself with only a bag, a passport and a phone number written on his hand. you're going to meet him tonight. as i was saying with anderson i'm also going to spend some time tomorrow traveling in the
7:05 pm
region with the defense secretary. his name is lloyd austin. he said today the united states will not enforce closing the skies in ukraine saying, quote, there's no such thing as a no-fly zone lite. and i'm going to have a full interview with secretary lloyd austin tomorrow so make sure you tune in for that. it comes as russia's indiscriminate bombing of ukraine continues. president biden calling putin a murderous dictator and a pure thug just one day after accusing him of war crimes. >> yesterday president biden said in his opinion war crimes have been committed in ukraine. personally i agree. intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. >> these attack that we've seen most recently appear to be focused directly on civilians,
7:06 pm
and of course that -- you know, if you attack civilians, target civilians purposely, that is -- that is a crime. >> secretary austin, secretary blinken, president biden all deploring what president putin is doing to ukraine. and look, the issue of whether putin is a war criminal is a very important issue, but we know exactly what russia is doing here. we see it day after day. bombing a theater, sheltering hundreds of people many of them children -- the word children i should say in russian written on the pavement outside. look at your screen. no information yet on their condition or possible fatalities. we're going to update you on that. in the north the mayor telling cnn what he calls indiscriminate shelling has been getting worse. a u.s. citizen james whitney
7:07 pm
hill among several people killed today. ukrainian police say the dead are victim of russian artillery fire. in kharkiv russian shelling leaving the city's sprawling market on fire. massive plumes of smoke filling the sky. and in kyiv a senior u.s. defense official says that russian forces, quote, continue to want to conduct a siege. and i warn you that this next video is very difficult to watch. it's a brokenhearted man sobbing over the body of his mother covered with a sheet on the street on the side of the road . and the destruction continues. rescuers today searching the wreckage of a building, once someone's home.
7:08 pm
their hearth, their safe haven. i know it's tough to look at all the stories, but i think my colleague, anderson, is right. we have to show it to you not because we're exploiting but this is the reality of war and the world needs to know what vladimir putin is doing to the people of ukraine. i want to bring in now retired lieutenant general mark hertling. general, thank you so much. i'm sure agree with that assessment. what do you make of that today, that bombing and son sobbing on the side of the road. >> can i go back to your conversation with anderson just a minute ago. you as reporters, journalists around the world you're in slovakia right now, not in uyan. not not seeing the inhumane treatment mr. putin has executed with his war smgs, the criminal activity. what you're seeing is the other
7:09 pm
side of humanity, the humanness of people taking care of one another. when military planners put an operation together in the u.s. army, there's always a consideration for humanitarian crisis and the potential for assuaging humanitarian relief, getting people help that are trying to exit from the war zone. you're going to talk to my friend lloyd austin tomorrow, my friend in west point class secretary austin. and he's not a political appointee to a secretary position he is a general, retired general. he knows the kind of pain you're seeing right now not only on the battlefield but as they travel to other countries to these refugees. he knows it deep down inside. he has experienced these emotions. and the kinds of things you and anderson and sam and nick baiten and clarissa and everyone else are reporting, it is the horrors of war, and that's why these kind of things must be averted.
7:10 pm
and i'll go one step further. the kind of horror mr. putin has been putting on the people of ukraine is just horrific, inhumane and just disastrous. it speaks to pure evil. and that's why you're hearing a lot of people now say the potential for war crimes -- do i believe war crime was committed? i believe it because i see it. i know what's happening there. but it's also you have to prove that, and i believe certainly the people of ukraine, the government officials of ukraine will prove war crimes in this situation. >> general hertling, i want to talk about what volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of this country is doing, standing strong here and out with a new video message tonight warning mercenaries -- numercenaries, general, who may try to join russian forces in ukraine. here it is. >> translator: so now i warn everyone who will try to join the occupiersen our ukrainian
7:11 pm
land, this will be the worst decision of your life. long life is better than the money you are offered for short. >> and we know russia has put a call out for foreign fighters and mercenaries to help. is zelenskyy trying to get ahead of this? >> he is, don. and if you study history you know that there's been no mercenary group that has significantly contributed to any war. these are paid for hire soldiers. they're doing it only for pay. so, yeah, they're tough guys, they may like war, may like killing, but they've never contributed the kind of will and resources that president zelenskyy's ukrainian army and territorial forces are contributing now to -- the patriotism that they're contributing to the people of ukraine. so, yes, he's trying to get out in front of it, but also telling them don't come here because you're going to be slaughtered. there may be many of you, you
7:12 pm
may come in the thousands, but we have it will to defend our people and our home. >> general hertling, you say that the u.s. and nato are doing a whole lot more than people realize under the radar to help ukraine. i'm sure people are happy about that, but can you talk about like what? >> no. i'm sorry, i can't, don. but i know what has been done in the past in these kind of operations. you know, a lot of the stuff they're doing right now is classified. they can't -- you know, the united states can't and won't share it, and it shouldn't be shared because it's contributing to the success of the ukrainian people or the ukrainian military. but what i will say is the story that remains to be told, and i hope to be one of the people telling it is the fact of how ukraine's military changed from a soviet era unprofessional force in the early 2000s into a
7:13 pm
transformed military with professional soldiers, with great nco leaders, with generals that have eliminated corruption within their rank, with a president and a parliament that understands the will of the people as opposed to just stealing and grifting. so what you're seeing now is a transformed force in ukraine against the old soviet model, corrupt, grifting, lack of leadership, conscript soldiers force of russia. and that's why i think we're going to see you crane persevere in this campaign. >> general, thank you. and thank you for your words and your encouragement and your message. thank you, i really appreciate it. we'll see you soon. i want to bring in now andre pg, a russian investigative journalist currently in exile in london and the author of "the red web, the struggle between russia's digital dictators." we're so happy to have you here. thank you very much. listen, putin thought his forces would be able to march right into kyiv and the ukrainian
7:14 pm
people would submit to his military. we're entering week four, none of that has happened, and you say something looks really wrong with russia's intelligence in this war. what is going on? >> absolutely, it looks like there's a big problem with intelligence. this war started with vladimir putin attacking and humiliating his chief of the foreign intelligence agency, the main successor of the kgb. two weeks later, last week actually while the fsb came under attack, and two top generals were placed under house arrest. and this department is primarily in charge of supervising the situation in ukraine and providing political intelligence about the situation in ukraine. and it looks like they fell completely. >> you know, in a scathing speech, it was yesterday, vladimir putin referred to
7:15 pm
pro-western russians as scum and traitors who he said needed to be removed from society. what did you take from that? are we going to see a further crack down on dissent inside of russia? >> unfortunately, i think that's what's going to happen. and we've been living in a climate of selective repression for almost seven years, and we have the political opposition under attack. we have the russian elites under attack. we have government ministers in jail. but i fear now it's time for something bigger because what putin is talking about is not only liberals. he's also talking about his oligarchs. he's talking about actually encouraging them to leave the country, otherwise they would just end up in jail. >> thousands of russian troops have been killed.
7:16 pm
it's astonishing. you talk about the russian army, but thousand of russian troops have been killed. the estimates range from 3,000 to more than 10,000. do you think these mounting casualties, is that going to change putin's strategy, andre? >> well, to be honest, i don't think so. it looks like putin sticks to the strategy he chose for the very first day, and it's still the same with some -- well, some changes when he started bombing the cities more -- more heavily. but in general it's the same thing. and i think the problem here is we have -- i mean russian army has a big problem in their chain of command. in every previous putin's war there was a so-called joint group of forces, and there was a commander who was ultimately in charge of the situation on the battlefield. we do not have this guy now, and i don't quite understand why. it looks like everyone is guarded from moskow, which
7:17 pm
doesn't make any sense militarily speaking, and maybe it explains why there's so much confusion and lack of communication between the units and all this heavy casualties. >> thank you so much. really appreciate you joining us. be well. the city of mariupol being battered by russian attacks, up to 100 a day. next we're going to talk to an american and his ukrainian wife. her family is sheltering in a basement in mariupol. i've always focused on my career. but when we found out our son had autism, his future becamame my focus. lavender baths always calmed him. so we turned bath time into a business. ♪ and building it with my son has been my dream job. ♪ at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com

7:21 pm
rescue efforts under way at the bombed out theater in mariupol that was being used as a shelter. sources saying they were about 1,200 people sheltering in the theater. there are reports of 130 that have been rescued so far. and in mariupol city council saying about 80% of the city's homes have been hit. mariupol is about the size of minneapolis or tampa. so imagine if 80% of the homes in earplug of those cities were hit by artillery shells. joining me now is joe and dasha
7:22 pm
reamers. we've spoken to them before and we're so happy you're back. we want to go how your family is doing. they've been sheltering in a church basement in mariupol for quite some time now, for 14 days, for the last 14 days and i understand they're still there. the second story of that church was recently hit by a russian attack. do you know how they're doing? >> yes. we were able to talk to dasha's dad yesterday, so we know how he's doing as of yesterday. that's how it's gone for the last two weeks is it's hard to get communication into or out of mariupol. so we know they're fine the moment we talk to them, and after that we wait until we hear from them again. when we talked to him yesterday he said it was a miracle that god was protecting them, but it's a miracle that they're all still alive. >> well, joe, you said that dasha's parents haven't tried
7:23 pm
evacuating because they're caring for other people in the shelter and around the city. are they giving you stories about how they're doing and other people are doing? >> they say that they have enough food, that they have access to water. but we know basically that her dad is caring for people mostly elderly women, some of them bedridden in basically two different parts of the city. so he's been going around sometimes in his car, sometimes because the roads are so damaged and thir trying to preserve gas. he's gone on his bike, and he's taking these people what they need and caring for them. it's -- he's a hero, but like dasha's been saying you always want someone to be a hero, but in this situation you don't want it to be someone who you love. >> dasha, it's your parents. how are you doing? how are you holding up? >> i worry all the time. it's always on the back of my
7:24 pm
mind, but of course we are always hopeful. so, yeah, just waiting for good news. >> you know, dasha, more than 2,000 people made it out of mariupol today and hundreds of private cars that they had. are you encouraging your family to get out? >> yes. but now it's a little bit hard to do because they have all these people and they don't have enough cars to go out. so we're waiting to maybe open the corridor or something official are volunteers will be able to come and get them. >> look, i know that you've been saying, dasha, that you always want someone to be a hero but you just don't want it to be someone you love. even if you're afraid for your family how do you feel about the courage and resilience that your parents and the rest of the
7:25 pm
ukrainian people are showing in this moment? >> of cat first i'm impressed, now i'm so proud to be ukrainian and proud for all these people for giving their lives, everything we have. i think, yeah. >> well, joe, you know, you sent me these pictures we're going to put up. you sent my team these photos of your family, and then now the destroyed theater in mariupol. and some of these were taken just a little more than three months ago. there's a christmas tree in front of the theater. now it is rubble. how are you making sense of all of this violence? >> i'm -- i'm not making sense of it yet. i feel like it'll be one of the projects of the rest of my life to try to make sense of what's
7:26 pm
going on here. you know, i -- it's a city i've visited three or four times starting when dasha and i started dating. we've been thereafter we were married. and dasha can tell you more stories about the theater there. and every time we see pictures of the destruction, it's a place that she knows. but that's really the heart of the city. we watched a musical there on my birthday last year. it's where we would meet if we were going to go for a walk around the city. there's a beautiful park there. we walked around there on new year's eve and looked at the lights and saw the christmas tree. and i don't think i've been able to process yet that that is just rubble now. >> yeah. well, joe and dasha, you guys take care. and while i'm in the region if i have the opportunity somehow i would love to be able to speak
7:27 pm
to your parents or to get to see them or interview them. so take care, and if that could happen, please reach out to, you know, my folks and my team and let us know. and also to meet you guys as well. thank you so much, okay? >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you and be safe. so this next story you are not gloeg to believe. he traveled more than 600 miles to flee that war all on his own and he's only 11 years old. we met up today in a park hundreds of miles from home but safe, and we're going to have that for you right after this. new dove shower collection is infused with hyalaluronic and peptide serums to make yourur skin feel smoother and more radiant. new dove body love. face c care ingredients now in the shower.

7:32 pm
at helpfosterchildren.com this is truly a story that you need to see. as russia's brutal assault on ukraine enters its fourth week the u.n. says more than 3 million people have been forced to flee the violence and the destruction. one of those refugees is a boy. i met him today here. his name is hassan. he's just 11 years old and traveled 600 miles from his home in ukraine all alone without his mother. a child who should be quite frankly kicking around a soccer ball or playing video games with his friends, forced to flee to a foreign country for safety. it was difficult to leave your
7:33 pm
mother? the 11-year-old fled the destruction all along and traveled 600 miles alone with a bag, his pat port and telephone number written on his hand. a harrowing story of survival amid putin's war in ukraine. it's one story of many in this devastating conflict that the united nations says has caused more than 3 million ukrainians to flee their country. the invasion creating a ukrainian child refugee almost every single second resulting in heart breaking scenes like this, a young boy crosses the border in poland crying as he walks ahead of a group of adults. hassan's journey to safety in slovakia began more than two
7:34 pm
weeks ago and 620 miles away. his mother stuck in a war zone with a little boy and an elderly mother to protect and care for makes an impossible choice to stay behind with her mother and send hassan on a train which is near the nuclear power plant that came under attack by russian forces. how long did it take you to get here? three or four days. were you scared, hassan? >> what did she say to you when you left? were you worried, though?
7:35 pm
hassan alone traveled all the way to slovakia where he found his brothers and sisters. they had journeyed ahead earlier to meet up with their older brother who was studying in slovakia. and that's where i met them today. so you had a bag? and then you had a number written on your hand? it was written, what, in ink? and then you had your phone. yeah. do you have your phone with you? can i see it? did you ever call your mom? you did? did you let her know where you were along the way? yeah? and did you ever call your brothers or sisters to let them know where you were? and so they knew -- they were checking on where you were
7:36 pm
throughout your time? and then -- and then they gave you directions? did you have -- did you have money with you? hassan says he got his hope from his mother who desperately wanted him to get to safety, and now she, too, is safe. she was able to reach slovakia today and reunite with hassan. >> i cannot leave my mother. she's 84 and not mobile. thus i put my son on the train to go to the slovakian border. i'd like to express my sincere gratitude to all the slovakian border guards who helped to shelter my child. >> hassan's rescue was a family affair. some of the siblings gave the advice to get him out of the war torn country.
7:37 pm
but there were times they thought he would get lost. did you think he wasn't going to make or you wouldn't see him again? >> i believe he would be with us because he's very clever, and he could also on phone call us, and we was helping him. when i saw him i thought now i can relax. >> how do you feel now you're all together? >> i can relax because we spend our whole lives together, and it was nervous to us we fell apart. >> when you all saw your mother and you were back together what was that like? >> i like was relaxed, and i was happy to see my mom because every day i missed her rice, her meat. and i i think mom, she cooks me a lot of food. >> for hassan it's not the first time he had to flee out of a war zone. he and his family had to flee
7:38 pm
about a decade ago when he was just a baby. no matter the struggles faced his bravery was never in doubt. did you cry? didn't cry. he wanted to but he didn't cry. listen, the stories that are coming out of this region really puts into perspective the problems that we think that we have and just how fortunate we are especially in the united states. and quite frankly how much we need to pay attention to what's going on here. not only just the bombing and the shelling but the humanitarian effort, the humanity, the inhupanty of what is going on. hassan is just one example of that. imagine 11 years old. i was a pretty savvy 11-year-old but i never had to travel 600 miles by myself. all i had to do was go across town on a city bus to get to class at a young age, but
7:39 pm
nothing -- nothing quite like that. and the second time he was a year old when he had to flee, he and his family had to flee syria. so keep your thoughts and our eyes on what is happening in this region. up next, the secretary of state antony blinken, warning that vladimir putin is setting the stage to use chemical weapons, to bring in mercenaries, kid nap local officials. i'm going to speak to one of the president zelenskyy's former top aides live from kyiv. that's next. the dove beauty bar, is gentle. it not only cleans, it hydrates my skin. as a dermatologist, i want what's best t for our skin. with 1/4 moisturizing cream, dove is the #1 bar dermatologists use at home. stuff. we love stuff. and there's some really great stuff out there. but i doubt that any of us will look back on our lives and thin "i wish i'd bought an en thinner tv, und a lighter light beer, or had an even smarter smartphone." do you think any of us will look back on our lives and regret the things we didn't buy?

7:42 pm
7:43 pm
russian forces continue to want to conduct a siege of ukraine's capital city of kyiv. that's according to a u.s. defense official. in the city today ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy visited civilians injured by shelling in the city. and my next guest in kyiv and an
7:44 pm
advisor to president zelenskyy and he joins me now. former advisor i should say. i appreciate that. can you give us the latest in kyiv. have you heard any air ride sirens tonight or any explosions? >> well, we've had if i remember correctly, we've had two air raids, no explosions so far so good. i don't want to jinx it. to say there are no explosions tonight and literally hang up in the phone and in ten minutes we have a mess of explosions. hopefully tonight is different, but quiet so far. >> so igor, today, president zelenskyy visited people injured by that shelling in kyiv. what is he thinking as he's seeing these people hurt and killed by these russian attacks? >> look, i usually describe president zelenskyy as a human being amongst politicians.
7:45 pm
for him the human life and well-being of ukrainian citizens is of paramount importance, so every sing time he has to come face-to-face with human suffering it's incredibly difficult for him. but it's his position as a president, as a leader to comfort the people, protect the people and to everything in his powers to try and stop the war, to put it simply. >> listen, there's been one atrocity after the other in the region in ukraine. the mayor in the kharkiv region has been captured by russian forces. this is at least the third mayor, igor, to have been taken. today the united states secretary of state antony blinken warned russia could systemically kid nap the mayors and replace them with russians.
7:46 pm
>> it might be close to impossible to do anything like that to him because first of all he's surrounded by a few million angry ukrainians in kyiv, so it would take a huge force to go through that defense. and i think like that's exactly the defense that putin is actually looking for at the moment. because if you closely pay attention to what, you know, he's doing domestically, he's trying to change his narrative to the russian people. you know, he's gone all in. he's doubled down on propaganda, and now he's trying to kind of close russia off and turn it into north korea. and i think until he's completely successful in doing that, until he achieves his end result, you know, we're going to be safer than when he actually does that. >> you know, igor, president zelenskyy also spoke to german
7:47 pm
lawmakers today. in his speech saying those words are worthless now, his people are being destroyed. he's doing everything he can to get the world's help here. has the west met the moment here that zelenskyy is talking about? >> well, look, to understand what's happening you need to understand what happened first when this war started. so basically president putin has been preparing for it for quite some time, and this is not your typical war. so it's very reminiscent in terms of like ground warfare and what we saw in world war ii. but don't be mistaken. this is a hybrid war, which means president putin is taking everything that makes you weaker and weaponizing it. when he took crimea, it worked, so he weaponized that corporate greed against the west. he weaponizes your political divisions and partisan kind of struggles against you. so at the moment i wouldn't say that the west is as united as it
7:48 pm
should be to counter this threat. and make no mistake i mean it's not only a threat to ukraine, it's a global threat. and it's going to get worse. and, you know, negotiations that putin was proposing at the moment, that's just a delay tactic. and everyone realizes that because i mean we've been through two agreements already. we've been through minsk 1 and minsk 2. and even if we get minsk 3 at the moment that would probably cause hostilities to come down a bit, but it's not going to be the end of the war. putin doesn't even consider ukrainians to be, you know, worthy people worthy of living. i mean, he's showing it with his actions. but, you know, the real enemy is the collective west, he says it explicitly. and you're the enemy, you're in mortal danger, but at the same time, you know, european politicians are kind of -- cannot agree on the fact that, you know, killing ukrainian
7:49 pm
civilians is wrong. the western business has to agree on the simple fact that paying taxes to an aggressor who's going to use that taxes to make bombs that will fall on your heads is wrong. and people are even afraid to kind of voice their opinion against this war. why? because it would lose them some audience or it'll cause some backlash, you know, from people who disagree with that. and you have tucker carlson. i mean, like, do you feel safe in the hybrid war like that? i wouldn't if i were you because we can -- the only reason we are successful at the moment in defending our country is because putin's information war failed in ukraine. he literally was expecting to go in, meet little to no resistitance and have his victory day parade in three days. and it's been 23 now and he's still fighting. >> that did not happen. >> yeah, why because he lost the information war.
