swedish journalist shot video of the rescuers pulling one person from the debris. you see it on the screen. it's feared dozens of ukrainian soldiers may have been killed in this one attack. in the besieged port city, drone footage shows the utter devastation that russian forces have unleashed. what you're seeing is used to be a shopping mall. and it is completely gutted and burned out. along with blocks of charred apartment buildings. and knew satellite images show russian forces taking up defensive positions digging berms for protection. you see it from the satellite image. ukraine president is again calling on moscow to return to diplomacy. before it's too late. listen to zelenskyy. >> i want everyone to hear me now. especially i want them to hear me and moscow. it's time to meet. time to talk. time to restore territorial integrity. and justice for ukraine.

or else. russia will face such losses that several generations will not be enough for it to rise back up. >> in the u.s., president biden spoke for two hours with china's president xi jinping. warning of unspecified consequences of beijing assists the russian side. we'll have more on that angle later. in moscow, vladimir putin held a huge rally. and a concert to celebrate russia's annexation of crimea. eight years ago. some of the attended said they felt pressured to go to the event. putin used the occasion to justify his renewed invasion of ukraine. without mentioning russia's heavy losses. >> the best proof is the way we're fighting in this operation. shoulder to shoulder. supporting each other and if need be protecting each other like brothers.

shielding one another with their bodies on the battlefield. we haven't had this unity for a long time. >> as he celebrates in russia, the u.s. defense secretary says things are clearly not going according to his plan in ukraine. he spoke with don lemon during a visit friday. >> they have not progressed as quickly as they would have liked to. they i think they envision they would move rapidly and quickly. seize the capitol city. they haven't been able to do that. they struggled with the logistics. so we have seen a number of missteps along the way. >> well, austin said he was hoping china wouldn't offer a military or economic lifeline to russia. echoing what president biden has said. and this is reportedly what moscow had requested from beijing. now, the alleged missteps by the

russian military have been costly. ukraine military claiming a major battlefield victory as it pushes back against the invading russian army. with that angle here's cnn -- >> another blow to vladimir putin's military. ukrainian forces claiming they ambushed this convoy of russian airborne troops. while cnn cannot independently verify the information, russian state tv for the first time acknowledged a senior airborne commander and several soldiers have been killed. while still out gunned, the ukrainians feel they might slowly be turning the tide. >> the armed forces of ukraine continue to deliver devastating blows at groups of enemy troops. who are trying to consolidate and hold the capture defensive line. a ukrainian army spokesman says. the ukrainians say they are launching counter attacks against russian troops. this video allegedly showing an antitank guided missile taking out a russian armored vehicle.

they claim they already killed more than 14,000 russian troops. and shot down more than 110 combat choppers. cnn can't confirm the numbers. but the russians haven't updated their casualty figures in two weeks. instead claiming what they call their quote military special operation is going as planned. russia defense ministry released this video of helicopter gun ships attacking a ukrainian airfield. still vladimir putin clearly feels the need to rally his nation. making a rare appearance at a massive rally at moscow main stadium. where a strange technical glitch cut off his speech. not before he praised russian troops. >> the best proof is the way our boys are fighting in this operation. shoulder to shoulder. supporting each other and if need be protecting each other like brothers. shielding one another with their bodies on the battlefield. we haven't had this unity for a long time.

>> but the russians appear to be so angry at u.s. and allied weapon shipments to ukraine, they vow to target any deliveries entering ukrainian territory. and they're hitting targets as well. firing several cruise missiles at an airplane repair plant near lviv. a residential building in kyiv after being shot down. former world heavy weight boxes champ and brother of kyiv mayor. pleading for more help. >> this is genocide of the ukrainian population. act now. stop doing business with russia. do it now. >> the biden administration has said more aid and weapons are on the way. as ukrainian forces continue to put up a fierce fight. preventing russia's troops from further significant gains.

with us now is moscow correspondent for the "new york times." i want to start with the huge rally putin held to celebrate the annexation of crimea eight years ago. four weeks into this invasion with all the reports that perhaps his troops are suffering more losses than expected. he didn't take in a lightning strike take over kyiv. what is he trying to achieve now? >> good morning. president putin is trying to not shore up support and show the entire country is unified behind him. this was a heavily produced show. and estimated 200,000 people were there. a lot of putin's favorites performers and poets. and it was a celebration of course of the eighth anniversary of the annexation of crimea. and also attempt for putin to portray the message that everything is going according to plan. the kremlin has been clear from the beginning their messaging

continues to be everything is going according to plan. when in reality, conservative u.s. estimates say 7,000 men died on the battlefield. fifth general has been killed. things are not looking good for the army. the thing is it's really unclear just how many people wanted to be at rally. journalists i spoke to on the ground said that many of people are public employees. state employees. they were bussed there. some didn't know they were coming to a rally. at the same time the images are people clapping and waving. and right now it's kind of impossible to do any public polling about russia opinions about the war. >> i wonder how many people -- how much the news that their battled field set backs and costing russian troops and their families dearly. how much of the news is making it to ordinary russians. any way to assess that? >> i'm afraid not very much. official communications from the russian ministry of defense. first of all they portray it as a limited operation and usually

speak about the local ma. they acknowledged losses one. 400 soldier ts killed ten days ago. most of the russian public doesn't have the right amount of information and you can see that even people with family members in ukraine don't know the full extent of what's going and don't believe ukrainian relatives when they tell them. >> we have heard ukrainians with russian relatives. children talking to their parents in russia denying a russian invasion. i wonder putin. is there -- obviously before the invasion, russian countries tried to avoid it. by engaging him in diplomacy. is there any window, at what point does he say okay, this is causing too much of a loss for me. economically isolated. china is not helping me actively. it's better to try to find some

sort of off ramp, do we know. >> everyone is hoping for that. mono-tuesday wednesday, engaged in the negotiations. there was some positive rhetoric coming out. at this point, all of the the plans. zelenskyy is hoping to meet with putin and that might happen. sometime next week. i think things are still going to get worse before they get better. >> is vladimir putin there's been a lot said about whether or not he's even his grasp of reality is complete. do we know what his state of mind is? i know it's difficult. >> the terminology. it's difficult to do that from lviv. i spoke to people who just fled. 80% of the housing staff is destroyed. 40% can never be lived in again. the heavy industry that was two major factories. the life blood of the town. even if they take over the territory, it's going to be completely destroyed.

and it will be empty of people. and the people that remain will be angry. it's hard to imagine what putin thinks he's going to do with any of this territory. >> this is territory that vladimir putin claims he's liberating. these are russian speaker. that may even have had sympathy towards russia before. now being bombed into a oblivion. i can't imagine many people are happy about this. >> indeed. i spoke to somebody last night before the war he thought to 80% of the local population would have been sympathetic to russia. they are something like 30 miles from the russian border. the biggest city they would go to in the greater area. is in russia. they were very close. and slowly, year by year after the people saw what happened. after especially after the bombardment. moe people said they don't want to go there. i spoke to a russian yesterday now in central ukraine. where the majority language is ukrainian. and not russian. he said i could have gone to my

russian relatives in russia. there i would feel pain and shame. and here in ukraine, i will only feel the pain. not shame. >> interesting. thanks so much for your great reporting. in lviv now. usually posted in moscow. thanks for that. coming up on cnn, ukrainian refugees flood across borders in hopes of reaching safety. we'll hear their stories of escape from the fighting. that's raging in their country. plus, i'll speak to a representative from save the children. and firsthand look at situation there on the ground for refugees fleeing. got powerful relief from your worst nighttime cold and flu symptoms. so grab nightshift to fight your symptoms, get your zzz's... and get back to your rhythm. feel the power. beat the symptoms fast.

refugees from ukraine are spreading out across europe. hundreds reached on a train friday. many were women with kids. many elderly. germany received 200,000 refugees so far. 3.2 million people have fled the fighting in ukraine. at least two million crossed into poland alone. many moved onto other european countries. cnn is right there in poland for us. near the border with ukraine. >> it's been just over three weeks since russia invaded ukraine. there are 3.2 million people. refugees who left their home country of ukraine. in to mostly europe. we have new figures that show more than two million of those refugees have entered the country of poland. staggering numbers we continue to see unfolding here in poland.

one of the things that really struck us in the last few days as we have spoken with so many of the refugees arriving here in the border area of poland and ukraine, is that they're coming from the far east area of ukraine. cities that are seeing the worst of the warfare. and the refugees describe to us a painful experience. we spoke with a family, two women who had come with their a 6 year-old girl. they spent two days traveling from the city of kharkiv. to get to this border town in poland. they told the young girl they didn't describe it was a war. they said they were going to take a trip to poland like some of her other friends had been doing. in that is the kind of effort the parents have to do to shield their young children. from the horrors of war. they describe they hoped they could wait out the war in the

fighting to be able to stay in their home city. after weeks and weeks of constant warfare, they couldn't take it any longer. >> we hope everything would work out. we didn't want to leave our home. we couldn't wait anymore. four rockets hit our area. every day, every minute. every second. it's just terrible for everyone. ourselves, our children. our families and loved ones. we have relatives back home. our grandmother who is 100 was too feeble to be physically removed. >> here in the train station where so many refugees have been arriving in the last few weeks on the border of poland. we continue to hear the stories and what's really striking about this situation is that they're coming from the hardest hit areas where the warfare and the

decemb decimating of the cities. the kind of accounts that we can continue to hear over and over. from the refugees that are arriving here in poland. >> activists in lviv are using powerful symbols to represent the atrocities war. a sea of empty baby strollers. representing the deaths of ukrainian children. according to the un as of friday, nearly 110 children have been reported killed. the strollers are meant to drive home the horrific human cost of the war. and obviously to remember the youngest victims. >> i feel completely in pain. pain for our children. pain for the future of the country. children are the future of the country. when they kill children, they kill the future of the country.

it's heart and soul. >> joining me now from romania. head of news for save the children. what's the situation like there for the kid who are fleeing with their parents? >> as you said more than 3 million refugees have been scattered across the region. in just three weeks. and more than half a million have set foot in romania. since the start of the conflict. we're seeing every day is thousands of mothers and children coming across the border and number of different points. they are exhausted. they have been traumatic experiences. bitterly cold. and it's absolutely freezing. the temperatures plummeted to as low as minus ten a few days ago. so what we're seeing is mothers and children who really are just looking for somewhere safe. somewhere to recover.

>> yeah, and one of the things you told my producer is that the psychological effect of having to run away for younger kids is very severe on them. how do you deal with that? how do you talk to a child and try to lessen the just the psychological impact of what they're going through. >> we're incredibly worried about the long term emotional and psychological impact of the traumatic experiences the children are going through. i spoke to one family who told me they had hid in basement for six days. while the town was bombarded. they saw their home was completely destroyed and forced to flee for the border. another family i spoke to told me they had two minutes just two minutes to pack up and abandon their home.

abandon their life. when one of their friends suddenly had a car that could take them to the border. and the youngest daughter of the family actually was just nine. and she was there and you can see how quiet and withdrawn she was. how mom said sometimes she starts crying. what's vital is that save the children and the governments here in other organizations are there to start providing emotional support children need to bounce back and recover. they are resilient. in the right environment where they play and be children again and parents can start to process what they have been through. they can recover. >> thank you so much. dan stewart, head of stave the children. joining us this hour. we appreciate it. if you'd like to help people in ukraine or need of shelter, food or water. go to cnn.com/impact. you'll find several ways to help there. missiles are leaving scenes of

fighting is ramping up for control of the southern port city. take a look at after math of a russian strike on a ukrainian base on friday and one of the surviving soldiers told swedish journalist that it appears most people inside were killed. this as ukrainian president zelenskyy has a new message for moscow. saying it's in russia's best interest to negotiate for peace. the uk defense ministry released an intelligence update on twitter saying russia has been forced to change its approach after being quote surprised by the scale and ferocity of ukrainian resistance. an angle we have been reporting for weeks now. a downed russian cruise missile landed near a school building in northern kyiv on friday. cnn shows us the destruction that resulted from that one missile is staggering. >> reporter: this is the scene

the northern edge of the kyiv. where a cruise missile landed here in the small hours of the this morning. officially according to the authority, it was shot down. normally that means the warhead was destroyed. clearly that is not the case. beyond this truck here, a kindergarten. mercifully, no children in it. because of the level of bombardment of kyiv. because the kindergartens are closed. it's opposite another school for older children. look at the blast. that is what remains of a vehicle. right at the center of the blast. absolute scene of devastate. this way you can see extraordinary level of devastation. in this very densely populated residential area. these are homes.

humble homes. of ordinary ukrainians. struggling to get by. working with dignity. hoping one day to join the european community. possibly nato. and this from vladimir putin perspective is the result. if we walk this way, you can see just how devastating the size of the weapons. it's extraordinary. this is the result of one single blast. a blast that is ripped through this community. peppering cars with shrapnel holes. every one of those would have torn through dozens of people. every one of those bits of flying hot metal designed to rip into human flesh like a razor. white hot and burning. of course, mercifully, no children playing in the kindergarten.

>> despite such devastation or because of it, ukraine says more than 320,000 citizens have returned home from abroad to help in the war effort against russia. that aid range ts from pick up guns to delivering supplies and really everything in between. i spoke with several people who say the decision to come back to a war zone was an easy one. >> we have also seen images of ukrainians fleeing the war. but there is a lessier told story. ukrainians who travel in the opposite direction. >> to show people that it is possible not only to leave the country but also to come back to the country. and to fight for the country. it's worth it. >> they were students at ohio university. a ukrainian couple who decided to head into the war zone. when russia invaded their country. they took first aid classes in

america. collected donations, flew from columbus to warsaw. and drove to kyiv. not even telling their parents so they wouldn't worry. >> when i was at the door, i called them and said don't freak out. open the door. they freak out. my father was trying to you're an idiot, why are you doing it. but at the same time he was smiling. >> they drive the roads they have known since childhood. delivering supplies. he could be drafted at any time. >> it's my choice. this is my place i grew up. i was raised and born. it is something more than just be safe and study. and trying to protect everything i can. everything that i am.

i am this place. this coffee shop is this downtown. >> those who fled in the first days of war. like mark and his wife. after a few days safely resettled in berlin. they say something didn't feel right. so they drove right back to ukraine. >> what was that like, what was your frame of mind? >> it felt good. we felt the term uncertain. and happy to be back finally. to be able to make ourselves useful. >> a british swiss fill maker who moved to ukraine in 2016, now using his skills to create profiles of ordinary ukrainians. who become resistance fighter over night. all to raise funds for the war effort. >> i'm not a soldier. i don't know how to handle a gun. but i'm a film maker. a communicator. and this is what i'm doing now. >> now the couple decided to stay in ukraine.

not yet back to their home in kyiv. but in the relative safety of an apartment in lviv. in the western part of the country. and then there are those settled in berlin with his wife and three kids. he knew from day one of the russian invasion that he would head back to his home city. >> he starts his day at dawn. distributing basic supplies like medicine. gloves. boots. sleeping bags, walky talkies. what troops need to keep up the fight. his hometown is the cross hairs of the russian assault. fierce bombardment and shelling caused devastation throughout the region.

the ukrainians are pushing back. >> three stories, three journeys. all one destination. back home to a country at war. >> there you have it. the u.s. and china already have plenty of issues to talk about. now ukraine has bolted to the top. we'll have details on the biden xi video call. just ahead. plus, new signs that western sanctions could be starting to bite. in russia. consumer frustration is on display. in this unconfirmed video the story ahead. due? spots? it's not your dishwasher's fault. simply add finish jetdry 3in1 to rinse, dry and shine your dishes.

actions. we have the details. >> reporter: u.s. president joe biden and chinese president xi jinping meeting friday morning. to discuss russia's war in ukraine. according to chinese state media, xi told biden china and the u.s. have a responsibility to work for peace. saying quote, the world is neither peaceful nor tranquil. the ukraine crisis is something we don't want to see. the two governments have grown used to combatting one another and traded barbs. as vladimir putin reigned misery on ukraine. >> china is on the wrong side of the history. with ukraine and the aggression committed by russia. it hasn't stood strongly against it. >> remarks are slandering against china. not helpful for solving the problem. >> the biggest economies may have the power to stop the suffering. biden needs xi to set parameters for putin.

tricky since he called him his best friend. they have met 30 times in the countries have grown closer and becoming isolated from the west. a few months later, they remade the dish. with vodka and caviar. and a month ago, china praised its no limits partnership with russia. at the olympics u.s. officials boycotted. the u.s. worries that any economic or military support china sends to russia, has the potential to change the balance on the battlefield and could take the sting of the of the western sanctions currently crippling the russian economy. white house said friday discussion include td lt two leaders agreeing to maintain open lines of communication. china may see it as an punt to burnish credentials as a major global player capable of stepping in and solving the crisis. >> neither leaning towards russia or ukraine. and instead a trying to present itself as a neutral third party. >> china economy takes hits from

a new wave of covid-19. the worst since wuhan 2020. economic blow back from the war in ukraine is the last thing beijing can afford. american officials have warned china will pay a price if it circumvents sanctions to help russia. or helps militarily. >> china has to make a decision for the themselves about where they want to stand. and how they want the history books to look at them and view their actions. and that is the decision for president xi and chinese to make. >> president biden right now hoping to get xi to take on the role of peacemaker. interesting to compare the read outs from both sides. the u.s. side stressing this was mostly about ukraine. with biden warning xi of the consequences should china help russia. state media here in china playing up that xi pressed biden on taiwan. which china considers as part of its sovereignty. xi warning biden if the taiwan issue is not handled properly. it won't be good for u.s. china

relations. now i spoke earlier with gary the former u.s. ambassador to china. beijing is likely to keep economic interests foremost in its mind as it considers whether to help russia. >> the trade between russia and china is really one tenth of the total trade between china and the eu and china and the u.s. so while russia can easily very much depend on trade with china, china cares more about trade with the rest of the world. and the millions sp millions if not hundreds o million of jobs in china associated with those exports and the two way trade between the rest of the world and china. so, i think china is very much concerned. after seeing how swiftly and decisively and extensively the sanctions were against russia. that i think they'll have a

pause about trying to help russia. either militarily or economically. >> so, another reason for a pause could be what's actually happening in russia. right now. the kremlin admitted on friday that panic buying was beginning with people storming shops for food and other essentials. just look at the video. this social media video claims to show that. cnn can't independently confirm whether that indeed does show people trying to buy supplies and where it was shot. kremlin dismissed the panic buying. as what they call emotional hype. some western countries beg to disagree. u.s. state department says the russian currency became virtually worthless and the economy is in ruins. france says western sanctions are starting to have a real impact. russia could face a further squeeze this week the u.s. house committee passed five new bills aiming to tighten screws on
