hello, welcome, everyone. to our viewers around the world and the united states. i'm reporting live from lviv, ukraine. there is no break in the fighting across ukraine and in its capitol where authorities report heavy rocket attacks from russian forces. ukrainian troops claim they recaptured ground east of kyiv, previously occupied by the russians and battles are raging in the eastern city of kharkiv. as well as in the besieged port city of mariupol. now we have new video to share with you that shows the destruction in the town of to the northwest of kyiv. the mayor says russian forces are using rocket systems. ukraine's army is able to control about 80% of the city. you can see at what cost. satellite images from the eastern city show the damage

from days of fighting. you can see a massive crater with burnt out school on one side. also damaged apartments and a church. the regional governor in kharkiv and the east is reporting that six people were simply standing in line for aid, killed when a russian missile hit a shopping mall parking lot. the mayor in the south posted video of a huge ukrainian flag draped down the wall of the city hall. now one of the first cities to fall to russian forces and see regular protests by locals there who don't want the russian occupiers in their city. u.s. president biden will visit with european commission president next hour. before traveling today to poland to visit american troops. he and other world leaders met thursday in brussels and warned there would be a response if russia used chemical weapons in

ukraine. that said, everyone agreed russia not everyone agreed that russia should be expelled from the g 20 and the next summit in november. western leaders were keen to show they are united against moscow and preparing for any worst case scenario. >> our top military commander, general walters, activated nato chemical bio logical and nuclear defense elements. and allies are deploying additional chemical and nuclear defenses to reinforce the existing new battle groups. >> cnn has all the diplomatic angles. covering with correspondents across europe. live in poland. we begin in brussels with more on what over the last 24 ours came out of these extraordinary

meetings. >> a broad agreement on the need to continue to hold russia accountable for its war in ukraine. including additional sanctions, warning of consequences that russia did employ chemical weapons inside ukraine. short on details. short on details about what the consequences would be. if russia did take the step and use weapons of mass destruction of any kind in ukraine. now what we did see yesterday was a statement of unity of course among the nato allies and among the european leaders about the need to protect nato and of course the eu from any potential russian aggression. that was really kind of the the main topic of discussion yesterday. how do we make sure our nato allies are protected in the event the russian onslaught in ukraine gets closer and closer to ukraine -- poland border for example to the nato territory. we have seen that russia has expanded its target set and have been targeting military bases and other targets further and

further west in the country. so that was a main topic the discussion or priority yesterday. how to shore up the defenses including increasing troop posture in the eastern plank of the nato alliance and of course adding additional battle groups there. sending them additional air defense systems, in order to protect against any potential air missile attacks of course. ultimately there was a agreement as well about sending additional weapons to ukraine. of course they're trying to raise the cost for vladimir putin operation there and trying to allow ukraine to sustain that fight against the russians. but we have new reporting that says the ukraine is asked for 500 new stinger missiles and javelins per day. 500 of each. it remains to be seen whether the u.s. and west will be able to sustain that level of military shipments to ukraine. of course especially considering that the russians have already said any kind of weapon shipments into ukraine can be

considered a legitimate target by the russians. so whether that's supply chain remains open and how to keep it open was also a key priority of discussion yesterday. we are told. of course the ukrainians are asking for as much as the west is able to provide to them right now in terms of weapons and financial support. >> all right. thanks very much. live in brussels. let's cross over to cnn white house reporter in warsaw, poland. the american president is due to arrive later today. we know he'll meet with u.s. troops and with the polish president. we have been reporting from the beginning of this story this invasion of the country by russia, that poland has taken in the most number of ukrainian refugees. and i imagine they'll be asking the united states as well for ways to help that country shoulder some of the enormous burden on their economy and their services.

>> you have seen polish leaders ask the united states for assistance. the u.s. provided millions of dollars to poland to help accommodate the refugee flow. certainly, polish leaders are looking for more. this visit to poland is really an opportunity for president biden to see the issues that he discussed at nato. at closer range. to come to the eastern flank. into warsaw, into poland to experience what it's like here close to the war in ukraine, where refugees are coming and people are unsettled by what's happening on their borders. and you'll see the president today visit a town that is about 60 miles from the ukrainian border. he'll host a round table with the polish president. focussed on this refugee issue. it's only a walk and a half ago that vice president kamala harris was here in warsaw and met with the president as well. and he was explicit that he needed the united states to do more to expedite potential

refugees from ukraine who had family in the united states. yesterday president biden said in brussels that the u.s. would accept up to 100,000 refugees from ukraine. and so that's a topic of discussion while he's here. the president will also as you said meet with members of the american airborne division. that deployment came as the war heated up and the united states wanted to reassure allies in europe it had their back. nato had their back. that's something the president will also discuss with polish leaders who have their own ideas about how security can be bolstered in the region. looking for a more perm nept defense force in the area. that's something discussed at nato and discussed at another nato summit in june. no decision yet on the permanent force posture changes. but certainly that's something that will be discussed. another thing that poland proposed is an international peace keeping force in ukraine.

that's not something that u.s. officials have warmed to. saying that it could potentially put u.s. troops in direct conflict with russian troops and that's something president biden has explicit he's not willing to do. that's another thing the president will have to discuss while he's here in poland. the president is arriving later today. we'll see him on the various stops tomorrow. he will sit down for the formal talks with the president. before he makes a speech sort of laying out his accomplishments on this trip. his goals of this trip. before heading back to washington on saturday night. >> all right. thanks so much. ukraine is accusing russia of putting the lives of chernobyl nuclear plant workers at risk. the plant has been occupied by russian troops for a month now. ukraine told the un atomic energy agency that russia recently shelled a nearby village where many workers lived. according to ukraine, that not

only endangered the make sure the plant stays safe, but it also prevented their shift rotation. which begs the question why are they doing this? the attack kale days after russia allowed the workers who had been stuck at chernobyl since the occupation to go home for the first time. we want to bring you now a snapshot of life in the parts of ukraine not occupied by russian forces. people are still trying to maintain a version of normal life. as much as it's possible during a war. all the while knowing fighting is never too far away. for that we're joined by journalist -- who speaks with us from southwest of kyiv. thanks for being with us. talk about what your reporting has revealed in terms of just how in the most unusual and extraordinary and tragic circumstances people are trying to maintain some normalcy. >> thanks for having me on.

since the war, economic activity in the country basically stopped. it zeroed out. and as a result, money needs to get moving again. if ukraine is sustaining the wart effort. people in the non-conflict areas are trying to do so, restaurants are reopening. stores are opening up. online services are going. people are trying to reestablish some kind of life despite the ongoing conflict in the eastern country. that is made difficult because the country is economic centers is kharkiv and kyiv. have been heavily impacted. by russian attacks. >> how for instance is -- if people keep their businesses open in the west part of the country we're seeing a little more retail activity certainly, are there issues with getting payments, the banking system, all of those things that need to be well oiled institutions in order for a an economy to keep running. how is that aspect of things?

>> well, thankfully the ukrainian government is and the national bank of ukraine have reassured us multiple times the system is working. i can personally confirm that every store still takes credit cards. those payments are still processed. i still get paid. which is a good sign. like the atms in places like kyiv are running low on cash. you can generally get access to that in other parts of the country. so, so far things seem to be working smoothly. >> sorry -- didn't mean to interrupt. i'm glad to hear you are getting paid. that's important. talk about moral. obviously in the initial weeks of the invasion, there was such a strong nationalist rooted really in pride of country effort of resistance. to the russian occupation in some parts and invasion in others.

and i wonder when war grinds on, at some point you become psychologicalically exhausted. where are we one month in? >> ukrainian resistance has strengthened if anything. picture coming out of the mariupol which has been 90% destroyed. it's not correct to call it a city anymore. when you hear about how the russian invaders are treating peaceful protesters. which they occupied. we see the future that awaits us in russia. if russia is to win. so as long as that remains the case, ukrainians are not going to give up fighting. this is a conflict that we have had with russia for centuries. this is not the first time russia has attempted to assert its will over ukraine. everyone remembers the soviet union. and no one is locking to have a

repeat of that. >> yeah, do -- i mean, i know that being i have been here a month now, i hear oftentimes from ukrainians that they believe that a no fly zone is what could at least stop some of the carnage from the air. absent that, they want more weapons. they want more antiaircraft weapons. they want fighter jets which western countries are saying they're not willing to provide now because they are concerned this would create a situation where russia will feel its entered into a direct confrontation with the nato countries. are they -- is there real frustration here that the west is not doing enough? >> no, absolutely. during president zelenskyy's address to nato the other day you could see that frustration on his face. and pretty much every ukrainian i have spoken to following his address expressed the exact same feeling.

they are angry, they are frustrated that western nations and specifically nato member countries talk a big game. but not providing us with the material support we need. the fact is the russians while they don't have complete air dominance over ukrainian skies, they can still run do bombing runs. unimpeded. in order for that to stop we need some sort of antiair defense. it doesn't matter whether it comes in the form of fighter jets or whatever it is. that is one area where we are not matching the russian ands without additional support, we can't. and every single time a russian plane reaches ukrainian -- >> we just lost romeo there. thankfully we were just wrapping up. so, thank you very much for making that point. we'll keep in close touch with

you there as you continue to report on this russian invasion and how ordinary ukrainians are trying to continue to live normal lives as possible. now as russia invasion drags on, one of the military chiefs is largely out of public view. still ahead, speculation grows about the whereabouts and the help of the russian defense minister. russia still has friends it can do business with. we'll tell you -- you may have a general sense of who i'm going to talk about. we'll tell you who the countries are after the break. this is how you imagine your dishwasher. but it may not be as clean as you think. built up grease and limescale could be hiding in your pipes. try finish dishwasher cleaner its dual action formula hygienically cleans hidden limesescale and grease n your dishwasher. finish. clean dishwashsher. clen dishes.

moscow tries to press on with its invasion of ukraine, speculation is growing ab the whereabouts of the man in charge of the russian arms forces. defense minister has been keeping a very low profile despite the war going on. on wednesday, an independent russian news out let say he maybe in poor health. on thursday state tv showed video of him attending a meeting but didn't say when the video was taken. when cnn pressed a kremlin spokesperson on issue he said the minister is busy. joining me now from london with more. tell us about the speculation and also it's unusual in the midol after war a man with a high profile would suddenly almost disappear. >> that's right. he's somebody who is very close to vladimir putin.

it should be noted that he's somebody who isn't actually a military background. he made his way to the brief of defense minister through politics. before he used to be the head of the emergency situation department. for russia. now, you point out what's interesting is that he's been absent from air waves and screens for 12 days. and that had led to a lot of speculation he might be suffering from heart problems. the kremlin spokesman quashed the rumors yesterday saying he is just very busy. as you can imagine we have a special military operation as the kremlin continues to pitch the war in ukraine. and that's keeping him occupied. he did pop up in one of the teleconferences. just for a fleeting few seconds appearing to give people an update on how that operation in ukraine is going. you couldn't hear his audio. the only thing that really gave

you an indication it wasn't prerecorded. the fact his arm was moving. and he fleetingly moved away, shot moved to something else. this is obviously the kremlin trying to show that he's still in the picture. he's still around. but only for a few seconds and it's not likely to quash rumors about how in charge he is or facing criticism because of how the war in ukraine is going. and meanwhile the casualties continue to mount. the kremlin county keen on knack knowledging that tens of thousands of people may have well lost their lives among russian troops. >> there are discrepancies between the number of russian casualties that russia acknowledged and estimates from both the ukrainians and also western sources. that put the number very high in some cases over almost 20,000

potentially. but at least several thousand. talk about those differences in numbers. >> very wide differences in numbers here. nato is saying that if you account for the amount of number of russian military personnel who have been captured or wounded in ukraine. or currently missing in action. perhaps dez deserted. you could talk about 40,000 people. ukrainian estimate is 7,000 russian troops up to about 15,000 troops so far. the moment the kremlin is still sticking by the officially acknowledged figure of 498 people. that was the number of casualties they published on march 2. a russian newspaper appeared to accidently lift the vail on the true scale of the cost so far. among russian soldiers about a weak or so ago when it published

a small snippet that was removed. the ministry of defense acknowledged there were 10,000 russian soldiers killed in what's going on so far. if that's the case, if you tally that up, russia could on course for one of the worst death tolls of military add adventurism. that would make vladimir putin less popular and put the heat on his defense minister. >> sure. in such a short period of time. we're talking about one month here. in london, thanks so much. quick break, when cuomo back western leaders wrap up a series of important summits in brussels as war continues to rage on in ukraine. the u.s. president travels next to poland. which has taken more ukrainian refugees than any other country. we'll have that as well. arts th.

brussels produced a stern warning to russia against using chemical weapons. and new sanctions on more than 300 russian lawmakers. the clear message was that western leaders are united in their support of ukraine. >> putin was banking on nato being split. my earlier conversation in december and january was clear to me he didn't think we could sustain this cohesion. nato has never, never been more united than it is today. putin is getting exactly the opposite of what he intended to have as a consequence of going into ukraine. >> there have been pretty significant battlefield successes for the ukrainian. the u.s. says it's likely ukraine did in fact did what it claims. strike a russian warship. turning it into a fire ball on thursday. a u.s. defense official adds

it's unclear what weapon was used in this particular attack. but this is a russian port that is occupied by the russians which means they are using some longer range weapons. phil black has the story. we warn you some images in report are graphic. >> reporter: the russian military says it's in control of the port. that fiercely burning ship suggests otherwise. the landing vessel began exploding. not long after sunrise. other boats and warships can be seen scrambling to get away from the fire. as debris falls in the water around them. ukraine says it destroyed the boat and the fire spread to weapons. ukraine hasn't revealed what weapons it used to carry out the attack. >> fiercely fought the territory in the east. local man inspects what's left of his city. pointing out bodies when he sees them. while shells continue to fall nearby.

russia military says all this is in their control now. ukraine says the fight isn't over. driving through mariupol is an apock lip tick experience. bodies and debris lie on the road. someone is shooting. the driver slams his foot down to get away. being outside in this besieged city is dangerous. after weeks of russia's blockade and bombardment, people have no choice but to line up outside for food. this video from kharkiv proves the risk. it's the panic after math of a russian strike on a parking lot where people were also waiting for aid. the region governor says six people were killed. and this tour is through what remains of the country north. the city's mayor is driving. he says complete carnage has been unleashed here.

civilians across the towns and cities are documenting their devastated communities. because they want people everywhere to see and understand. phil black, cnn, lviv, ukraine. a month into russia's invasion of ukraine the u.s. is ramping up its humanitarian assistance. and a major way. the biden administration announced the u.s. will take in up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees. and other people fleeing the russian aggression. it pledged more than a billion dollars in aid for necessities like food, medicine and shelter. the number of people escaping ukraine is now approaching 3.7 million. according to the un. the vast majority have been crossing into poland. many are using that as a launch point to reach other parts of europe. many of the refugees are from the city north of kyiv.

residents have been fleeing the city under heavy bombardment for weeks now. the city mayor filmed this video of the burned out buildings and fires that are just about all that is left. one of those who fled is a 15-year-old boy. who barely escaped after being forced from his home as gunpoint and driving over what he thinks was a land mine. his mother didn't survive the attack. he told his story to us. >> what do you want the world to know about your mother? >> sorry. i'm sorry. >> excuse me.

>> i want them to know my mother was a very beautiful woman. my father and i always supported her and right now it's very difficult without my mother. >> also unbelievably senseless. if you would like to help people in ukraine in need of basic necessities, go to our web site. cnn/impact. you can find several ways to help there. well, that's going to do if for me in lviv, ukraine. right now. when cnn returns my colleague will take a closer look at the latest sanctions against russia. that's next.

live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. the u.s. is slapping new sanctions on russia. this time the treasury department is targeting more than 300 russian lawmakers as well as the state duma itself. the lower house of the russian

legislative assembly. u.s. is also imposing sanctions on dozens of russian defense companies and ceo of russia largest financial institution. visiting a senior fellow at the finish institute of international affairs. with us now. thank you for joining us as we try to get through the impact of the sanctions may have. they are unprecedented and continue to expand. and the focus now is how to make them more effective. and guard against sanctions chl how best to do that. >> good morning. thank you for having me. this is unprecedented sanctions rounds and we're hearing about the new sanctions moves. close coordination with allies and as you just said, we heard that 300 russian lawmakers in russian duma were under sanctions now. and talking about dozens of defense companies and ceo of the

largest bank in russia. that brings u.s. sanctions on the same page with the eu and uk. this is important for sanctions enforcement and more effective sanctions impact. also, what was imposed yesterday is quite a novel prohibition on any gold related transaction. in february the allies imposed sanctions on russian international assets. about two-thirds of central banks assets are frozen now. and russia is left basically with gold and uan. prohibition on gold related transactions will stifen the ability to fund the economy and prop up currency which is crucially important now. >> there's no doubt that these sanctions are punitive and continue to be. do they achieve the stated goal?

we can talk in the last 24 hours of north korea. under sanctions for years. it's not really stopped them. what are your thoughts on what would convince putin, how far the sanction have to go for him really to go to the negotiating table. >> at the moment the objective is not to change his behavior. but constrain russia's military ability. the idea is that sanctions will erode the fortress russia strategy economy. that the kremlin has been building this international reserves for the past 15 years. and that was wiped out with the stroke of a pen. from various jurisdictions. we can constrain russia's ability to wage the war in ukraine to match the level of atrocities. this will be a partial success. some countries like north korea

and iran with other sanctions and have survived. here closing down a loophole and also targeting sanctions, countries that didn't align and talking about china, india, it's crucially important. but not giving russia how to fund itself and militarily, economically, it's important to make the sanctions regime more effective. >> do you worry that as the this drags on that the results keep the sanctions in place may waiver. this will be quite punitive on europe especially. as it will on russia. >> there are no surgical sanctions. there are no easy solutions here. they're in the standing in europe now that this will come at a high cost and the results communication coming from european capitals. that everyone has to bare some p partial cost for sanctions. and this is another announcement

that was made yesterday that biden administration is ready to ship additional cargoes to europe to alleviate a strong dependence on russian gas. this is important a first steppingstone to towards any potential energy sanctions russia. which will be the next step to match atrocities if ukraine. >> especially as europe looks to next fall and winter to try and achieve obviously the energy needs it has. and energy goals it has. thanks so much. appreciate your input. north korea is again putting the world on edge. we were just talking about that. following thursday's missile launch. you'll hear experts concern about the world's missile defense systems. or sunday afternrnoon in the produce aisle. these moments may not seem remarkable. but at pfizer, protecting the regular routine, and everyday drives us to reach fofor exceptional.

hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world, i'm paula newton in atlanta. we are following breaking news on the war in ukraine just ahead. >> the world continued to focus on what a brute this guy is. >> ukraine asked for planes so we don't lose so many people and you have thousands of war planes. >> this pretty much reminds me like a fairy tale, the fight between good and evil. >> translator: the operation was a complete success. we decisively repelled the enemy. >> it's our homeland. it's where we've grown up. it's our
