yeah. the future is crunk! (laughs) anything else you wanna know? is the hype too much? am i ready? i can't tell you everything. but if you want to make history, you gotta call your own shots. we going to the league! this is cnn breaking news. >> hello, everyone. and welcome to our viewers around the world and in the united states at this hour. i'm hala gorani reporting live from lviv in ukraine. just -- i notice i have my glasses on my head. just a few minutes ago, we heard some pretty loud explosions in the distance here, and those came after an air raid siren sounded across the city. we're working on figuring out

exactly what those explosions were and what the source of them was as well. and when we have that information, we'll bring it to you. now, u.s. and nato officials tell cnn that mounting russian casualties have moscow struggling to resupply its forces here in ukraine. and turning to nor indiscriminate shelling, and we're certainly seeing evidence of that on the ground, ukrainian civilians are paying the price. authorities in the northern city of chernihiv say 53 people have been killed in russian attacks in the past 24 hours. to the south in mariupol, makeshift rescue crews are digging through the rubble of a theater that was serving as a shelter. getting information from the besieged city is difficult, though, but there are reports of survivors emerging from that building you see on your screen there. russian shells hit a huge market in kharkiv, causing a raging fire. and the mayor is reporting that one emergency responder was

killed in an attack on a nearby school, an arts club claimed 21 lives. drone video shows the damage at a 16-story kyiv apartment building hit by debris from a missile. at least one person was killed there. also this. absolutely devastating. after the attack, journalists witnessed this man kneeling on the ground crying next to what appears to be a dead body. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy issued a stern appeal to the german parliament to do more to end the fighting. later, he warned mercenaries that joining russian forces would be the worst decision of their lives. >> translator: we do not need 13 or more thousands of killed russian soldiers.

we did not want this war. we only want peace. we want you to love your children more than you fear your authority. >> well, u.s. president joe biden is set to call the chinese president, xi jinping, in the day ahead. he is expected to warn china that it will be held responsible if it supports russia's aggression. now russian planes and artillery have been raining down bombs and shells with no regard for civilians. the u.s. now says evidence of russian war crimes in ukraine is becoming undeniable. we get more now from cnn's kristen fisher. >> reporter: the ukrainian resistance is not letting up, but neither is the russian offensive as russian bombardments cause even more havoc in ukrainian cities, this residential building in the capital, kyiv, was hit by the debris of a downed missile. ukraine's emergency service says at least one person was killed. but incredibly, in the besieged city of mariupol, signs of

survivors. just one day earlier, an air strike hit a theater where civilians were sheltering. despite the russian word for "children" written on the ground outside the building. today the ukrainian parliament commissioner for human rights says survivors have begun to emerge from the wreckage. there had been more than a thousand people sheltering, believed to be inside. this video last week shows the cramped conditions inside as the city has been cut off from water, power, and heat. >> still, in spite of that, this monster has bombed the theater. >> reporter: russia denies attacking the theater, accusing ukrainian militants of killing their own people. in the southern city of mykolaiv, the dead have been piling up in morgues like this one. human rights watch is now accusing russia of using cluster munition there's to kill civilians, a weapon banned under international law because of the high risk of civilian casualties and widespread damage in populated areas. secretary of state antony blinken can now accusing russia

of war crimes. >> intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past three weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. >> reporter: ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says russia has crossed all the red lines by shelling civilians and made this impassioned plea to german lawmakers to do more to help ukraine. >> translator: every year politicians say never again. now i see that these words are worthless. in europe, a people is being destroyed. >> reporter: but the biden administration remains firmly against implementing a no-fly zone over ukraine. >> there is no such thing as a no-fly zone light. a no-fly zone means that you're in a conflict with russia. >> reporter: the u.s. has been working to get additional lethal assistance to ukraine. sources tell cnn the u.s. will be providing switchblade drones that detonate on impact with a target. ukraine has also requested additional 300 air defense

systems. natos slovakia is willing to provide their s-300 to ukraine if they get replacement capabilities from the u.s. >> we're willing to do so immediately when we have a proper replacement. >> reporter: russia is also considering ing reinforcing the military outside the ukrainian theater. this near waters near russia and japan, possibly bound for ukraine to prolong what has already been a catastrophic conflict. kristen fisher, cnn, washington. >> well, joining me now via skype is a member of ukraine's parliament. thanks for being with us. we're entering the fourth week here of this russian invasion of your country. how is the resistance going at this point? because we're seeing devastating losses among the civilian population. just not least, the example of that heater in mariupol that was

used as a shelter. how is morale right now? >> morale is very strong. russia taking civilians will only make us angrier, if that's even more possible, and gives us the opportunity to fight back. so russia has suffered absolutely catastrophic losses. our military claim that they have loss more than 400 tanks and twice as many armored fighting vehicles. and most likely this figure is very correct. so even the independent groups, which enter russian losses based on social media, they were able to count 234 lost tanks, which can be independently verified, each and every one of them. and interestingly, 60% of them were captured by ukrainians that were just abandoned by the russians. their morale is pretty low. >> but that being said, the russians are hitting from the air. i know your president zelenskyy and many others including members of the ukrainian

parliament have called for a no-fly zone. the west has pretty clearly said that's not on the table right now. how do you fight against that? because it appears as though some of the attacks have become more indiscriminate and are hitting civilians very hard. >> yes, this is the sign of russian desperation. so they were expected to be greeted with flowers. instead, they were greeted with bullets. and since their forces very often refuse to go ahead and fight us in direct conflict, they resort to indiscriminate shelling. but first of all, our air defense system continue to work, although some of them have -- a lot of them have been destroyed. secondly, we are receiving new shipments of stinger missiles and other aid. and again, the losses in terms of air and helicopters for russia have been absolutely catastrophic, mainly because of their stupid mistakes. >> yeah. and what about you personally? are you -- what is your

involvement in the resistance? have you yourself become a fighter? or how are you involved? >> i received a gun just yesterday, just in case. but i mostly focus on supply. so i was bring more than a thousand bullet-proof vests. working heavily with sanctions as part of the finance committee. and using this opportunity, i would like to say a lot of american companies stay in russia and continue to be -- for russia. and we will be pleading to new york stock exchange, to nasdaq to not trade the shares of companies who are paying taxes, rubles into the russian regime. the biggest taxpayer for russia is $4 billion in taxes for the russian war machine. that's completely unacceptable. and their activity should stop. >> sorry, what company? i didn't quite make that out. >> philip morris international. philip morris international.

>> philip morris. >> they do not mind smoking russian sirks evidently. but for a billion dollars annually, 1.5% of russia's revenue which they provide and do nothing about live in the country. we think that's unacceptable. >> what more do you want from western countries, nato countries, the united states and their allies in this short of a no-fly zone, as we mentioned earlier in our discussion. they're not going there right now. what more do you think is needed on their part right now? >> well, first of all, before asking for more, i need to express my sincere gratitude to american people for the aid that we already received. so the sanctions that are $14 billion are extremely big help to us. but we do ask to press all the buttons, everything that we can figure out. this is not just about human

suffering. so the cost that we imply on putin for this invasion are the standard of costs for any potential invasion of other dictators to other nations. putin is trying to break the rules since world war ii. so you cannot change the borders by force. and other deck taters around the world are watching. we need to push all the buttons in order to guarantee that this does not spill over into other countries. >> i guess, as you know, the concern on the part of western countries that start doing things like implementing a no-fly zone or sending jets to ukrainians that it would be seen as some sort of direct assault on russian forces inside ukraine, and that might lead to a much wider conflagration with a nuclear arm state like russia. is any of that a concern to you at this stage? >> well, of course it is. we do not want nuclear war either. but i am afraid that we are headed towards direct conflict between russia and nato any way.

we already have thousands of british volunteers coming to ukraine. we already have american citizens on our territory. russia is bringing thousands of syrians and libyans to fight. unfortunately, once again, the theater for global fight, and putin has already made claims towards baltic countries. we know according to surveys, a lot of poles are afraid they're the next to be attacked. it is clear that putin has lost his mind and is now in the mode of more. so i'm afraid that more serious conflict is inevitable. >> well, i mean -- i hope you're wrong. i fear though, that it is a possibility. thanks so much for joining us live this hour on cnn. a member of the ukrainian parliament. now coming up, we'll take you to one polish border town dealing

with the chaos of some 20,000 refugees crossing every single day. plus israel welcomes a ukrainian family in their time of need decades after their ancestors risked their lives to help save the lives of a young jewish woman during the holocaust. we'll be right back with that story as well. that dove breakage remedy gives damaged hair the strength it needs. even with repeated combing hair treated with dove shows 97% less breakage. strong hair with new dove breakage remedy. nunumber one beauty brand not tested on animals. why hide your skin if dupixent has yoyour moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? hide my skin? not me. by hitting eczema where it counts, dupixent helps heal n keeping you one step ahead of eczema. hide my skin? not me. and thateans long-lasting clearer skin... and fast itch relief for adults. with dupixent, you can show more skin with less eczema. hide my skin? not me.

anything else. >> according to the u.n., more than 3.1 million people have now fled ukraine to other countries. the vast majority of refugees have crossed into poland. in a matter of just a few weeks, it's become one of the largest refugee-hosting countries in the world. and it is creating chaos as more displaced pour across every day. cnn's ed lavandera has more. >> reporter: when ukrainian refugees step off the train in poland, there is a sense of relief. they've escaped the war zone, but now these families must navigate a whole new world. some are lucky. they have family or friends waiting for them. but for most others, this tunnel leads them to the main strain station hall where they start making sense of the overwhelming confusion on their own. they have no plan. it's improvised from here.

when the refugees finally make their way off the platform and into the station, one of the first things that greets them is the sign in ukraine and polish that says "here you are safe." families emerge from the train with endless questions. >> reporter: about 20,000 refugees a day are endlessly moving through this one small polish city on the border with ukraine, filling the halls of this train station built in the 19th century. while parents figure out train

rides to destinations across europe, exhausted children find baskets of treats and toys. this is what it's like to figure out your next steps when your world has been unravelled by war. confusion fills the air. >> reporter: these refugees have made it out of the first maze on to a bus that will take them to warsaw, and there the questions will start all over again. ed lavandera, poland. >> well, some people who risked their lives to help jewish people survive the holocaust are designated righteous among the

nations by jerusalem's holocaust memorial. today a family from kharkiv, descendants of a righteous couple who saved a jewish man during the holocaust has found refuge in israel. cnn's hadas gold has their story. >> reporter: for hours, katya gusarov waited anxiously for two ukrainian refugees to emerge from tel aviv's airport. finally, she spots them. alamisuk and her daughter lisa. it's a warm embrace. but before today, they had never met. katya is a researcher at jerusalem's yad vashem holocaust memorial and museum. ala is the great granddaughter of a couple deemed righteous among the nations for helping save the life of a jew during the holocaust. that act of salvation now paid

forward. katya is hosting ala and leeza after her terrifying journey out of ukraine. they grow emotional, recalling the last three weeks, including nearly 24 hours on a train that came under fire near kyiv. >> translator: we were told to turn off our phones and turn off the lights. so you understand how scary it all was, that even small children 2 or 3 years old, they understood that something terrible was going on, and even they were silent. they were afraid. we lay like that for an hour and a half, each on top of each other. >> reporter: their family ripped apart by war, liza and her mom forced to leave dad arthur behind. liza, you're only 12 years old. do you feel like you've grown up very quickly in the last few weeks? >> yeah.

>> translator: i may look the same on the outside, but my character has changed because i'm ready for war at all times. you realize that your life is in danger, you realize that you may never see your family again. that's what change mid character. >> reporter: inside katya's home, a chance to look over why ala and liza ended up in israel. more than 80 years ago in 1941, ala's great grandparents saved the life of a young jewish man and soviet soldier named victor r ru dni k. documents show how they sheltered him after he escaped from a soviet war camp. at one point risking their own lives by pretending he was their son, even while being forced to house german soldiers in their own house.

the similarities down to the dates haunting. >> translator: the germans bombed us every day from morning to evening. for three days we were hiding in our cellar. on march 5th, a bomb hit our barn. >> ala grows emotional over the parallels to what the russian army is doing now. >> translator: they just destroyed them, destroy them deliberately, destroy them ruthlessly, because while -- because it's genocide. it's just genocide of the ukrainian people. >> reporter: katya and ala's bonds started when ala reached out to the museum a year ago via email, simply seeking more information about her family. then the war started and ala wrote again, asking for help. and after days traveling by train, car and on foot, they made to it poland and soon on to the plane to tel aviv. for now, ala and liza say they

feel safe, taken in by katya's family like ala's did for viktor, so many years ago. >> this bond of helping people, it's just normal. it should be. because if you do a good thing, it will be back to you in one way or another. >> reporter: hadas gold, cnn, israel. >> bye. >> if you would like to assist people in ukraine who need the very basic of necessities, go to cnn.com/impact to find ways to help. well, it may be just a phone call, but the leaders of the u.s. and china could impact russia's actions in ukraine. that story ahead.

welcome back, everybody. i'm hala gorani reporting live from lviv, ukraine. we heard sirens and some explosions in the past hour. we were able to fill in some plumes of smoke rising above some positions. to the west of the city, we'll continue to look at what may have caused these explosions, and what the impact may have been on the ground and report back to you when we have more information. now ukrainian authorities say russian attacks against civilians have increased in intensity in recent days with hundreds of casualties they tell us. russian shells struck a sprawling market in kharkiv near the russian border. kharkiv's mayor says a rescue worker fighting the blaze was killed. at least 21 other people were reported killed at other attacks in the city. not far from kharkiv, russian forces have reportedly detained another ukrainian official in a vuj near the russian border. the mayor was kidnapped from his office and is being held at the local police station.

and american actor and former california governor arnold schwarzenegger pleaded with russian soldiers to stop the offensive. it was a long video, but it's been watched hundreds of thousands of times. he recalled how his father was broken man after buying into lies and fighting for the nazis during world war ii. >> this is not the war to defend russia. the ukrainian fathers fought. this is an illegal war. your lives, your limbs, your futures are being sacrificed for a senseless war condemned by the entire world. >> it was a very interesting move there by schwarzenegger, because he is very popular in russia. and as you can see there in the video he put out on social media, there were russian subtitles, hoping it would reach people inside the country. as the human toll mounts in ukraine, so do calls to hold russia responsible for alleged war crimes.

the top prosecutor from the international criminal court came to ukraine this week. he says there are reasonable grounds to believe war crimes have been committed, partly because of russia's -- because russia has struck a long list of civilian targets. but the court's former top prosecutor says it could take years for justice to run its course. >> in my experience, in 2008, we indicted president bashir from sudan for genocide. and it took ten years. now is in jail, is in jail in sudan. so yet it take a lot of years. any way, for me, the point is the prosecutor has to make difficult decision, not just about legal aspects, what is a war crime, the evidence he got. also, how he can contribute to the prevention of crimes. because that is for me the

biggest urgency today, no? the urgency today is stop the crime. so you are presenting information about humanitarian efforts, military efforts. but we really need to stop these attacks. and icc is the only institution who can focus on individuals. that is the advantage. >> the international court launched a war crimes investigation in ukraine earlier this month. now we depend on correspondents and field teams to bring us the facts and the stories of war. the images that photojournalists capture in the war zone vividly illustrate the heartbreak and despair. veteran "washington post" photographer heidi levine shares with anderson cooper how those images affect her. >> people always ask me what is -- how do you do this kind of work? how do you deal with what you see? and that night, i mean, i

literally woken at 3:00 in the morning with a nightmare. and i mean, i could not help but to imagine like, you know, when i was filing my pictures, besides documenting and witnessing what i'm witness ing in the moment, and then coming back and looking at all these images again and editing and writing captions, it really hit me beyond description. i can't. all i want to write in my caption is what if this was your grandmother? how would you feel? how do these people cope? i mean, you know, i want my audience to try to connect to my work. and imagine what if you just had an hour or even less to try to pack up what you can carry, including your children, your grandparents, or any other family members and like, you know, they don't even have time to even pack their photo albums.

can you imagine just fleeing and leaving your whole family history behind, never understanding, never knowing that you may not even be able to return to your own home. i mean, that's what i want the audience to understand. this could be them. this could be me. the camera lens doesn't stop me from feeling because i'm on the other side of the camera. i mean, i can not prevent myself from, you know, even crying in the moment or hugging people or, you know, stopping to photograph to help people. and i have to say that so many of my colleagues are doing that. >> well, levine's work has been featured in nearly every major international publication over her career. talking there about how she's impacted, and all journalists are impacted when reporting from war zones. now we're getting new video from right here in lviv of smoke rising in the distance after we

heard those large explosions and sirens a little earlier. so it happened around 6:30 a.m., lviv, ukraine time. an air raid siren went off. and about 10, 12 minutes later, we heard these explosions. we understand this is happening to the west of the city. we don't know the exact distance from the city center or what the target was. some word perhaps that the airport was targeted, but we cannot confirm this at this stage. when we have more information, we'll certainly bring it to you. i'll have more at the top of the hour. so first, let's bring in john vause in atlanta with more. john? >> hala, before you go, this air strike was an air strike on lviv. this is a city which has been spared most of the war so far. is this one of the major strikes which has happened? >> well, there was a strike on a military training base just a few days ago closer to the polish border. it was heard from our position. but the explosions certainly sounded farther away.

this is really the first time since i've been here that i've heard explosions this close. and they followed an air raid siren that went off around 6:15 a.m. our time. we're still working to figure out exactly what was targeted. but it certainly was much closer than explosions we've heard in the past. whether it was the airport or another target, certainly it would be a significant development in the sense that that would mean that russia is targeting either airports or supply routes very, very deep into western ukraine and not in other battlefield locations like the south, the southeast and outside of kyiv. we'll work on getting you more information, though, john. >> and stay safe while you do it, hala. thank you for that. we'll take a short break. but when we come back, long before russia invaded ukraine, relations between beijing and washington were strain and could soon be sent into a downward spiral in hours when presidents biden and xi speak by phone. we'll explain why in a moment.

officially, china says it wants to stay out of the war in ukraine, but notably, beijing has yet to condemn the russian invasion, yet to even describe it as a war, preferring to echo russian propaganda. in the coming hours, u.s. president joe biden will speak with his chinese counterpart xi jinping, warning beijing not to offer any assistance to vladimir putin, whom president biden now describes as a thug. >> and, you know, the republics are standing together against a murderous dictator. a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of ukraine. >> cnn's kristie lu stout live this hour in hong kong. i guess the question is how long can china have a bet each way. will this phone call essentially force beijing to pick a side? >> it's interesting, this balancing game that china is playing. it wants to be seen on the

international stage as a peacemaker, as an honest broker. but while internally inside china and also to russia, maintaining this no-limits partnership with its ally moscow. now ahead of this upcoming phone call between xi jinping and u.s. president joe biden, we've been monitoring chinese state-run media. they say in this phone call, that they expect the two leaders to exchange views on areas of common interests. but according to the white house, they will be discussing how to manage competition as well as addressing russia's war against ukraine. those two issues not mentioned at all inside chinese state-run media. in the run-up to this phone call, the biden administration has been making the assertion that russia is asking china for military and economic assistance. this is something that both russia and china deny. we heard from jen psaki on thursday, the white house press secretary said the biden administration has, quote, high concern that china could still help russia, and the u.s. has also warned of imposing costs if china were to do so. the biden administration is also

trying to seek clarity on what is china's position in regards to the war. and it's easy to understand why, if you look at recent events. you go back to february, that summit in beijing between vladimir putin and xi jinping in which they declared their no-limits partnership. you look at the meeting that took place earlier this week in lviv with china's top diplomat matt in ukraine meeting with ukrainian officials, and again this week announcing that china would never attack ukraine and would help ukraine economically. and then you have a meeting that took place just yesterday between a ministry of foreign affairs official and the russian ambassador to china. both those meetings in lviv and the one presumably in beijing incidentally not reported in chinese state-run media. so it is expected going into this phone call that china will continue to adopt this balancing position, this neutral third party role. take a listen to this. >> so neither leaning towards russia nor leaning towards ukraine, and instead try to

present itself as a newt crawl third party and communicating with the united states about china's position and also the injustice if u.s. decides to pursue sanctions on china because of this economic relationship with russia. >> so is china on the side of russia or ukraine? yun sun says it's both in this exercise of balance diplomacy. back to you. >> balance diplomacy indeed. christie, thank you. kristie lu stout live for us in hong kong. among the millions who fled ukraine, one little boy who made the dangerous journey to safety alone. we'll have his story when we come back. big boi house. big boi foyer! big boi marble. big boi quartz. word? realtor.com to each their home. why do dermatologists choose dove? the dove beauty bar, is gentle. it not only cleans, it hydrates my skin. as a dmatologist, i want what's best for our skin.
