>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. i want to get straight to our breaking news. ukraine's military claiming 14,000 troops have been killed so far. russia's deaths are fewer but still in the thousands.

>> translator: just imagine 14,000 dead bodies at that stadium in moskow and tens of thousands of wounded, maimed people. that's how great are the russian losses already as a result of this invasion, but that's the price of a war in little of three weeks. the war must be stopped. the ukrainian proposal is on the table. >> ukrainian casualties are also mounting. russian bombers struck army baracks in mykolaiv. it's feared dozens of ukrainian soldiers may have been killed in the attack. in the besieged port of mariupol drone footage shows the utter devastation russian forces have unleashed. have a look at this. a huge shopping mall stands

gutted and burned out along with blocks of charred apartment buildings. the u.s. president spoke for two hours speaking with chinese president xi jinping warning of consequences if they assist the russian side. while the war in ukraine is on everyone's mind mr. putin is celebrating the last time his nation staged a military incursion in ukraine. thousands packed moskow's main stadium to celebrate the eight anniversary of russia's annexation of crimea. some said they were forced by bosses to attend the rally. >> translator: shoulder to shoulder, supporting each other and shielding one another with their bodies. we haven't had this unity for a

long time. >> now, cnn has correspondents positioned around the world covering the story from every angle. reports this hour from sam kylie and scott mcclain in the ukraine, melissa bell in poland, natasha bertram in brussels and phil mattingly at the white house. we begin with scott mcclain live this hour in lviv, ukraine. first let's start with the attack on the barracks. >> reporter: they were able to get there in the immediate aftermath while soldiers were still digging through the rubble, and you can actually see them pulling one soldier out from what looks like a hole in the ground is obviously -- there was obviously enough space for him to be in there, and he looks like he came out relatively unscathed. it seems like an absolute miracle. what is less miraculous is the potential death toll here. one soldier told those swedish

journalists there were some 200 people in those barracks, and he figured the vast majority of them would have been killed, so we're talking about casualties that could have been well over 100, 150. obviously hoping it's much less than that. mykolaiv in particular is a strategic city. it's in the southern part of ukraine. the russians as of late have been unable to take it. the reason they would want it is, well, there's a river that straddles it, and if the russians would be able to get across it they'd be open new fronts in the west toward odesa or push north to kyiv. there's a lot riding on that city, but in the peen time russians seem content it lob bombs at targets in the city. and hitting barracks is not something new, not by any stretch. last week there were barracks

about 11 miles from the polish border. in that attack 35 people were killed. russian estimates are much higher, though. kim? >> in besieged mariupol we saw those dramatic images about all the damage there. so what's the latest there and any updates on the hopes more people might actually be able to get out? >> yeah, information from that theater that was hit, remember this is the theater where they had the word children written out in russians enlarge letters on the pavement so that the jets would be able to see it from the skies, information has been extremely sparse. the latest update we have from president zelenskyy is 130 people have been pulled from the rubble, but remember there could be 12, 1,300 people sheltering at the time the bomb went off. it's not clear how many survivors have been pulled out, not clear how many people might still be alive underneath.

even a city counselor cnn spoke with yesterday evening wasn't sure. he said it was difficult for rescuers to get in there because of the constant russian shelling. local officials say this shelling takes place some 50 to 100 times a day. remember even when survivors are pulled from that area, they're being pulled out into a city that is hell on earth. this is a place that there's no water, there's no power, there's no heat, food and water supplies are running extremely low. if there is good news, kim, is that satellite images show there is a stream of cars that are being able to get out of the city. it's not clear exactly what the ukrainians and russians have agreed upon specifically, but it seems for the moment there's a sort of semiofficial hu humanitarian corridor that appears to be working. >> after that bombing yesterday in a city that was seen as a safe haven for residents and refugees who have been coming there, what's the feeling there? are people trying to leave there

in lviv as well? >> yeah, so, kim, this was the first time bombs have had hit within the first few weeks. you done see people running to the shelters with the same urgency as they did in the first few days of war again because nothing has actually dropped on this city until yesterday. yesterday morning was a rude awakening for people in lviv. what was hit was not entirely unexpected, though. this was an aircraft repair facility near the airport. we were able to get over there and get a vantage point to see the smoke for ourselves, but this is the calculation a lot of people are doing. now that bombs are falling on the city, will they stay or will they go? i was asking people yesterday their feelings.

i spoke to people who are coming from kyiv who say this city still seems extremely tranquil in comparison and they have no plans to leave. i spoke to another woman from lviv, and she also says she'll hang on here as long as she can. listen. >> i think about that that maybe it will be better for me when i'm gone, but i don't want to be this. i am staying here at home because i don't want to leave this place. i don't have nobody in europe or in other city. it's little scared and scared to leave family. >> this is what you hear from people over and over again, that they don't want to leave. they don't have people outside the of the country, and this is precisely what say the human

u.n. rights communication -- high commission for refugees is so worried about as well. the first wave of people leaving the country had connections in poland, places to go in europe, had a bit more resources. they're worried, though, that the second wave of people leaving ukraine will not be nearly as well resourced, not have nearly same connections in europe and will find it a lot harder to leave and a lot harder to integrate themselves into their new country. >> really appreciate the reporting there. scott mcclain, thanks so much. as the russian ground defensive largely grinds to a halt u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin says things cheerily aren't going to plan for moskow. he spoke with our don lemon during a visit to bulgaria on friday. they started by discussing ukraine's demand for more air power. >> the u.s. has made it very clear that they don't want to be involved in the process of giving jets to ukraine.

now, do you support other countries doing it or even encourage -- even encourage other countries to do it as long as there's no u.s. involvement? >> don, what other countries do, that's their choice. the united states certainly does not stand in the way of other countries providing assistance. again, we're going to focus on those things that we know is making a difference. and what's making a difference in this fight is the provision of anti-aircraft systems and the deployment of drones. you heard the president say most recently what we're doing, the kinds of things we're providing. we just signed -- just provided authorization for us to provide

an additional billion dollars worth of security force assistance. that's remarkable. >> what is your assessment of russian forces now? are they stalled, regrouping so that they can increase their assault or increase their violence on ukraine? what's your assessment of the russian military? >> it's hard to tell, don. i think they have not progressed as quickly as they would have liked to. i think they envisioned they would move rapidly and quickly seize the capital city. they've not been able to do that. they struggled with logistics so we've seen a number of missteps along the way. i don't see, you know, evidence of good employment of tactical intelligence. i don't see integration of, you know, air capability with the ground maneuver, and so there are a number of things we would have expect to have seen we just haven't seen, and the russians

really have had -- it's presented them some problems. so many of their assumptions have not proven to be true as they entered this fight. >> the president is speaking with xi jinping, and we are getting reporting that russia has been asking china for drones and for help. what happens -- do you think china will stay out of this, and what happens if they don't? >> again, don't want to speculate or get involved in hypotheticals. i would hope that china would not support this despicable act by putin. i would hope they would recognize a need to respect sovereign territory. and so hard to say what they will do, but we've been clear if they do that, we think that's a

bad choice. >> and austin has been meeting the bulgarian prime minister in the last hour. it's all part of a trip that also included a meeting with nato defense ministers in brussels and a visit to slovakia. all right, coming up on "cnn newsroom," poland has become a refuge for nearly 2 million ukrainians with thousands more arriving every day. now many worry how long it'll be before resources run out. have that story just ahead. stay with us. some home fragrances can be... overwhelming. air wick fresh new day fills your space with fragrance that's s always fresh, never overpowering. air wick. connect to nature.

you said you'd never get a dog.

you said you'd never do a lot of things. but you never knew all the things a dog could do for you. and with resolve you never have to worry about the mess. love the love, resolve the mess. activists in lviv created a haunting message to represent how many kids have died since the russian invasion. have a look there. a sea of empty baby strollers to symbolize the nearly 100 deaths of ukrainian children. they setup the strollers to drive home the horrific human cost of the war. the ukrainian woman moved by the display spoke of the suffering in the country right now with her own baby in the stroller beside her. >> translator: you wake up during the night when you hear the sirens. you hear any little sound. you start to shake because you understand maybe it was another

explosion, maybe i need to take my child and run away again. >> millions of refugees fleeing ukraine have no idea what awaits them once they get where they're going, but one group arrived to their destination to the sound of cheers and applause. a volunteer convoy of taxi drivers shuttled more than 130 displaced ukrainians from war saw to madrid. it was organized by local priests with the ngo messengers for peace. many of the refugees burst into tears as people in madrid lined the streets to welcome them, and the taxi drivers welcomed the opportunity to help out. listen. >> translator: we spent the night in war saw, and the following night we began the most beautiful and hard part. it was really impressive to see so many trying to help and so many people in need of help. when we parked and got the families assigned with their documents just picture it, we

were happy. >> the u.n. says more than 3.2 million people have fled from ukraine to other countries. the current flow of refugees into poland is still quite high, and it's putting a burden on small border towns, but the influx shows no signs of slowing. cnn's melissa bell has more. >> reporter: it's been a long road. liberty may lie ahead, but at least safety has been reached for now. ukrainian children and their mothers who made it just across the border to poland. their first night of peace spent in a school gym. so much of what is here provided by volunteers. >> translator: in the beginning the aid was spontaneously. this volunteering has accelerated, we are starting to fade here. >> but still more refugees

arrive at the border town. about 1,000 per train and several trains a day. carrying what little they can of their former lives, pinning their hopes of survival on the kindness of strangers. mainly women and children who have left their fighting age men behind. >> it's difficult, and really i don't know what i feel because i have little baby, i love my family. i had plans and now i don't have plans. >> reporter: of the more than 3 million who fled ukraine, about 2 million have come to poland, a figure that means that the country's population has risen by 5%. >> we react very quick, but we can do this for three, four weeks not for long time.

so we just wait for reaction. >> reporter: in brussels the commissioner in charge gave a tour on thursday of the emergency response from where the european union is organizing its largest emergency response to date. >> we now have 1 million refugees per week. so if this goes on ten more weeks, yes, you could reach the figure of 15 million people. >> reporter: european ministers meeting last weekend to try to figure out the problem of bottlenecks caused by the sheer number of people arriving in places like the station seeking peace and for now just safety. melissa bell, cnn, poland. >> for more on the refugee crisis in europe let's bring in kelly clemons. she's the deputy high commissioner for refugees at the u.n. hcr, and she joins me live

from geneva switzerland. thanks for being here with us. the situation seems to be getting more desperate with each passing day. give us a sense of the scope of the challenge you're facing right now. >> thank you, kim. thanks for having us on the program this morning. as as melissa just reported it's a torrent of coming out of the country. we have about 13 million people stranded or trapped and unable to moval. we're trying very desperately to get aid to those people that need it. they need everything. they need food. they need clean water. they need a place that is safe. and inside ukraine there are increasingly fewer places that are safe. so what we're trying to do now in terms of those coming to the border and crossing into the neighboring countries, the generosity as we heard from the volunteers is nothing short of

extraordinary, and we are doing our very best to try to support the governments as they're trying to provide immediate support, trying to provide assistance for those trying to rejoin families in other parts of europe but also those that need to stay close to ukraine, and many still want to do that. >> i mean, how do you go about trying to help so many people when cities are cut off, civilians and civilian infrastructure including hospitals are being tatargeted by russian forces? >> it is exceedingly difficult, and it really requires a whole u.n. effort. first of all, we need a cease-fire. we need the war to stop. people are being caught in the middle. many lives are being lost, and people are suffering. and so for us to be able to try to provide that sense of support is exceedingly difficult. we saw just yesterday a u.n. effort to bring relief to besieged town of sumy. we were able to bring in support for about 35,000 people and some

water supplies to be able to assist 50,000 people. that's not enough. we need much more efforts like this, but we need the shelling to stop. we need the potential for us to be able to deliver the kind of aid that we have prepositioned in the country. and we also need to be able to bring more aid into the country fast. and that's something that obviously we're trying to do as quickly as we can. >> i'm just thinking of the most vulnerable here. we showed just a few minutes ago the images of all those strollers in lviv that that, you know, the people put out. there are more than 100 representing all the children that were killed in these russian attacks. i mean, it was really poignant to see that. what went through your mind when you saw those images? >> it's really -- what's happening now is just heart breaking. war -- war kills people, and they kill innocent civilians. and people get caught in locations they can't leave, they

can't and what we're seeingpleural from those able to get out, it's trauma. it's deeply, deeply destroying families and individuals and people, and it's heart breaking. and this is something we're trying to also with regard to what's happening in countries trying to bring that kind of support, too, psycho social support, assistance with mental health services, protection services for as you said 90% now of those leaving ukraine are women, children and the aged. and they need more support, and this is something we're trying to do with a large number of partners. >> you've highlighted the vulnerability they have for secondary effects like trafficking and exploitation, yet more downstream effects of this horrible war. we'll have to leave it there for now, but thanks so much for your work and thank you for joining us here.

kelly clemons, really appreciate it. >> thank you, kim. and if you would like to help people in ukraine who may need shelter, food and water please go to cnn.com/impact, and you'll find several ways you can help. missiles are destroying parts of the ukrainian capital. we'll show you what's left in the wake of a downed rocket in kyiv. stay with us. when they're sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. wherever they rest protection nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol l disinfectant spray. lysosol. what it takes to prote.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. russia is making a renewed push

to take the southern port city of mykolaiv. this is the aftermath of a russian strike on the ukrainian base friday. one told our affiliate it appears most people inside were killed, this as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has a new message for moskow saying it's in its best interest to negotiate for peace. an update on twitter a short time ago saying russia has been forced to change its approach after being, quote, surprised by the scale and ferocity of ukrainian resistance. a downed russian cruise missile landed near a school building in the northern kyiv on friday as cnn's sam kylie shows us. the destruction that resulted from that one missile is staggering. >> this is the scene in the northern edge of kyiv where a cruise missile landed here in the small hours of this morning. now, officially according to the

authorities it was shot down. normally that would mean the warhead was destroyed in the air, but clearly that is not the case. beyond this truck here, beyond the jcb work here a kindergarten. mercifully, no children in it because of the level of bombardment of kyiv the kindergartens are closed. it's right opposite another school for older children. but look at the ferocity of the blast. that is what remains of a vehicle right at the center, the epicenter of this blast an absolute scene of devastation. if we look over this way you can see an 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

even nato. and this from vladimir putin's perspective is the result. if you walk over this way you can see just how devastating the size of these weapons -- it's quite extraordinary. this is the result of one single blast. a blast that has ripped through this community peppering cars with shrapnel holes. everyone of those would have torn through dozens of people. everyone of those bits of flying hot metal designed to rip into human flesh like a razor, white hot and burning. and of course mercifully no children playing in the kindergarten. sam kylie, cnn in kyiv. secretary lloyd austin is holding a news conference with bulgaria's prime minister after they met, so let's listen in.

>> russia's invasion has taken a terrible toll on ukrainian lives including brave soldiers and innocent civilians. yet russia's aggression has galvanized the ukrainian people, nato and the free world. in our conversation the prime minister and i were both struck by the courage and the conviction of the ukrainian people. they're fighting against huge odds to defend their country. and their struggle is crucial for the rules-based international order. and for the common values that bulgaria and united states shared. now, we can see bulgaria's commitment to those common values and the warm welcome that you've given to see many thousands of ukrainian refugees. and we applaud everything that

crur doing to deliver urmgantly needed humanitarian assistance to civilians whose lives have been upended by russia's needless invasion. i also wanted to underscore the importance of the announcement that bulgaria has established and is leading a nato multinational battle group. it's an important step, and we fully support it, and we commend bulgaria for its leadership. mr. prime minister, our defense partnership has never been so strong, so thanks for being with great partner. and that strength was brought home to me yesterday when i met with u.s. and bulgarian forces working and training closely together. bulgaria is also working on important defense monetization efforts as outlined in our

bilateral ten-year road map for defense cooperation. and your commitment is a model for other allies to follow. including bulgaria's military readiness and nato's operability is more vital today as europe faces its largest security challenge in generations. so the united states will continue to stand strong with bulgaria and our other nato allies. we'll continue to work together for lasting peace and security in europe. mr. prime minister, thank you again for all that you're doing and for hosting us today. it's truly great to be here, and i look forward to entertaining some questions.

>> from the bulgarian national tv to defense secretary austin even though prime minister has already been clear on this i still want to ask you as well. have you discussed any assistance to be provided from bull bulgaria to ukraine by say providing small arms and heavy armament and equipment, any munitions of soviet make? how would you consider such an action on the part of europe, and would you discuss it in the future? >> i certainly would just emphasize what the prime minister just said in that our conversation was focused on what we can do to strengthen the eastern flank here and what we can do to increase interoperability. and we also talked about the things that our forces are doing

together, and certainly we remain grateful for his leadership and to bulgaria for hosting a battle group here and moving out very smartly, very quickly to stand up that battle group. also many thanks for all the humanitarian efforts you provided and for, again, taking care of the 80,000 plus refugees that have come through bulgaria. that's greatly appreciated by the entire international community. >> translator: how do you see the role of bulgaria? what role can bulgaria play -- >> all right, we were listening to defense secretary lloyd austin there speaking in sophia.

we'll monitor that, and if there's anything news worthy coming out of that we'll bring it to you. meantime our breaking news tones after the break. please stay with us. hind neuriv. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performancn. morere brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think b bigger. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. we thought we had

the leaders of france and germany have again appealed to russia's president to end the bloodshed in ukraine. both french president emmanuel macron and german chancellor olaf scholes spoke on friday. take us through the latest efforts. >> this is far from the first time the french president and german chancellor have spoken to putin trying to get him to implement a cease-fire and open those humanitarian corridors and

what the french president emm emmanuel macron said to putin is pleading with him to open a humanitarian corridor and also asking him to please reopen these humanitarian corridors to allow people to escape safely. same kind of message by the german chancellor to putin asking him to implement a cease-fire and also to have these negotiations for peace talks with ukrainians in good faith to come to some kind of agreement here. it's the third time putin and scholes have spoken and the kremlin has called it a difficult but kremlin-like conversation. these efforts to allow russia to come to some kind of diplomatic off-ramp have really not worked so far. the sanctions we've seen have not deterred vladimir putin's behavior. we're only seeing the attacks afghanistan get more and more brutal as the weeks wear on. so u.s. and european officials are not very optimistic here about the chances of a diplomatic solution, but of course they are trying.

and from what we've seen from the officials who have spoken to putin they have not come away particularly optimistic either. they say in their sense of the conversations putin has only expressed increased determination. and a western intelligence official told us earlier this week their assessment despite all the losses russia has suffered over the last month especially when it comes to the number of troops they've seen killed in the conflict, they believe putin is still determined to take the entire country. kim? >> and i wanted to ask you about ukrainian's claim 14,000 russian soldiers have been killed. is that consistent at all with u.s. and european estimates? >> well, u.s. and western estimates place that number a little bit lower. they say anywhere between 3,000 and 10,000 russian soldiers have been killed in the conflict over the last month, and of course that is a very wide range because they can't get to a precise estimate really of how many of those soldiers and been killed in combat. it's just difficult for them to

have that level of visibility into what's going on the ground. but they do say, you know, upwards of 3,000 soldiers have been killed. that is a vast number, right? this is not something vladimir putin had anticipated when he was going into ukraine and expected, perhaps, that this would be a very quick fight, that he'd be able to take kyiv even in a matter of days. so the fact that thousands of russian soldiers and been killed in this war is -- it really speaks to the fact these officials say that russia did not seem prepared for the level of ukrainian defiance and of course for their level of preparedness given all the weaponry and support that nato and the west have given them over the last month, kim. >> yeah, that seems to be the near universal consensus. natasha bertram, thanks so hutch. appreciate it. ukraine was the overriding concern with the u.s. and chinese leaders spoke by video link on friday. president biden wanted to make it eclear if china supports russia there will be consequences. the white house didn't give specifics nor did chinese state

media but did release this quote from chinese president xi jinping. the world is neither peaceful or tranquil. the ukraine crisis is something we don't want to see, so many are asking could that mean he wants to be a peacemaker in the conflict? well, phil mattingly takes a look. >> reporter: there's been palpable and increasingly public concern raised by u.s. officials about potential chinese actions to aid russia either economically or military support, so much so the issue was raised to the absolute highest level. a secure video call that lasted nearly two hours and focused according to officials almost entirely on ukraine. now, in that call president biden didn't make any specific asks but did lay out the u.s. view of what has transpired as well as the scale of the united western response when it comes to sanctions, military issues. the implications very clear china needed to be warned what

could happen if they decided to engage. >> we have that concern the president detailed, you know, what the implications and consequences would be if china provides material support to russia as it conducts attacks against ukrainian cities and civilians. >> china has to make a decision where they want to stand and how they want the history books to look at them and view their actions. >> and that unified western response will be on full display next week. also participate in a g7 meeting called by germany. again, it is that united western front u.s. officials believe has provided so much power in terms of their response to russia's action and can serve as a deterrent to china particularly

when it comes to european partners china has tried to establish relations with. that over any bilateral issues or sanctions threat was what president biden was attempting to convey to president xi jinping. u.s. officials made clear they'll be watching very closely. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. well, if a picture is a worth a thousand words we have a long story to tell you with nothing but images of people enduring the war in ukraine. that's next. stay with us. ming. air wick fresh new day fills your space with fragrance that't's always fresh, never overpowering. air wick. connect to nature.

this is cnn breaking news. hello, and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. i want to get straight to our breaking news. russia's invasion of ukraine is now entering its fourth week without a single major city captured. and ukraine's military says it's exacting a heavy toll, claiming 14,000 russian troops have been

killed so far. other, estimate that russian deaths are fewer, but still stands in the thousands. the president is again calling for moscow to return to diplomacy, quote, without delay. warning russian losses will be huge if the fighting doesn't end. period. >> translator: i want everyone to hear me now, especially, i want them to hear me in 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. >> ukrainian casualties are also mounting. russian bombers struck army barracks in the southern city of mykolaiv. british journalists pulled from the debris. in the besieged port of mariupol, drone footag
