i am near kyiv, this is cnn. this is cnn, breaking news. >> hello, and welcome to our viewers all around the world .

i am reporting live from levine ukraine. let's bring you up to speed with the very latest and we begin with breaking news. ukraine's president is scheduled to address australian lawmakers this hour. vladimir zelinski is accepted to appeal for military support as russia keeps up its attacks on ukraine. despite that promise to scale back, the cnn crew on the ground and kyiv reports repeated attacks in the suburbs around the capital. this video is from an area where the mayor says half of the city is destroyed. the shelling is near constant. further north, ukrainian forces believe they have recaptured a town on the outskirts of an area that is in one locale

where russia promised to reduce its military assault. the president credits you can in fighters not a russian pullback. >> translator: this is not a retreat. this is the result of the work of our defenders who pushed them back. >> reporter: authorities say that russian attacks have not let up. the city has no electricity, no water, no calm. russian tanks stationed in villages have left residents isolated without food or medicine. the mayor spoke with cnn. >> translator: they have increased the intensity of strikes. yes, today we have had a colossal water attack on the center of the area. 25 people have been wounded and are in the hospital. they are all civilians. russia says it is fighting the ukrainian armed forces. that is another lie. russia is deliberately exterminating civilians. >> reporter: well ukraine says at least 15 people were killed in a strike on a government building in the south. special emergency response team is leading the rescue operation there. the ukrainian port is key to linking territory held by russian backed separatists in the east.

this is with crimea in the south. this is one of the hardest hit cities so far as the russian invasion enters its fifth week. >> it is devastating what we are seeing. the places being decimated from a structural perspective. this is by the onslaught of russian airstrikes. >> reporter: meanwhile, a u.s. official tells cnn that the biden administration believes vladimir putin is being misinformed. this is about russia's military performance in ukraine. this is according to u.s. intelligence sources. the sources say that putin's senior advisors are simply too afraid to tell him the truth. >> reporter: fred and his team traveled outside the capital kyiv to get a closer look at the fighting and the destruction and we want to let you know that his report does contain some graphic video. >> reporter: through heavily fortified checkpoints, we reached the edge of kyiv at the suburb. suddenly, on top of the artillery barrage is, we hear

gunfire. >> there is gunfire. >> reporter: much closer, we have to take cover. this is what it sounds like after russia said it has scaled down its military operations around kyiv. even in the, moments, the big guns are never silent. this is the final checkpoint before you would reach the district. it is impossible for us to go there right now. this is because it is much too dangerous. it is also impossible for the people who live there to come back to their homes because there is so much shelling going on and so much unexploded ordnance still on the ground. >> reporter: this area was contested between russian and ukrainian forces as troops attempted to push through to kyiv. now the ukrainians say that they have pushed the russians back, taking control and releasing this graphic video of

the aftermath. buildings and cars were destroyed. dead bodies were lying in the streets. ukraine's security emergency services has also released to this video, showing rescuers taking out at least some of the dead. they were doing this while under fire from russian artillery. some of the remaining residents were also brought to safety including many children the mayor tells me. >> translator: this is 100% ukrainian. we are taking out the wounded and bodies. today and yesterday we evacuated approximately 500 people. today i myself evacuated about 50 children and 100 adults. >> reporter: the evacuees are brought to a base outside the area. it is not only people, aid groups are also evacuating the animals left behind when their owners had to flee. it includes these puppies. >> the area was under fire and we were taking animals from the

streets. we were taking animals from the streets. >> reporter: the army is in the process of pushing russian troops further out of this area. they are hoping to silence putin's guns and restore calm to this once quaint suburb. cnn, kyiv ukraine. joining me now from australia is sam, director of the international security program at an institute. thank you for being with us. let's first talk about what the russians promised and then a promise that they broke literally minutes after making it at the negotiating table. they are still hitting the suburbs hard. obviously, despite the fact that ukrainians are defending their capital very effectively, they are doing this. >> yes, there is a little bit of confusion on the rushing side. there is distinction between what is being said at the level of those attending the peace talks and then a little further up the chain. so it is not clear that the fog

of war, it is thick. it is not clear what russia's intentions are. we do not know where the peace negotiations are going or where the words going. there is a wide range of possibilities. they look really quite plausible to me. everything from you know the russians and the ukrainians continuing this war for a very long time, we could be in the early stages of the war or we could see some type of ending. the one thing we can rule out is that russia's maximum ambitions, attacking the country are basically overthrowing the vladimir zelinski government. we can rule out everything that one. everything else is open. >> reporter: it is interesting, you say it is potentially the case that the negotiators on the diplomatic front, in the military commanders, they are not on the same page, not that it was some deliberate attempt

to mislead. >> not so much the military commanders, i am referring to the differences between the comments made by the negotiators and the leaders, those further up the line in moscow rather than the military. >> how could there be a disconnect on that? wouldn't they go with clear orders from the kremlin? >> reporter: you would expect so. look, it could simply be a slight difference in time. the indications that i have gotten over the course of today is that there was some differences between the negotiators who seem to be hinting at and openness toward a negotiated settlemen t toward

a harder line coming from moscow. >> yes. either way, what they said and what happened on the ground was a completely different thing. we are seeing still huge shelling attacks and bombardments of key positions around the capital. that being said, and as we have discussed many times sam, they are not taking the big city centers, not at all. where do we go from here? >> as i said earlier, i think that there is a wide range of possibilities here. one of them is that we are in the early stages of this war. we could be settling in here for you know a long campaign where they have an awful lot of changes on the battlefield. i still feel that there is something to be gained by continuing to fight. both sides feel that they could make the battlefield games which they could not make at the negotiating table. that is one possibility. we should be open to that. we do get a lot of information from the british government for instance and from the u.s. government. this is that the russian military campaign is faltering. that is relatively clear from

all of the sources that we are getting. nevertheless, it does not look catastrophic enough. >> yeah. obviously, western intelligence services get things wrong all the time. in this case, they did not in the lead up to the war. they got that intelligence rights, all of the warnings came to pass. now we are seeing them say that these latest developments indicate that russian forces in fact, we have our own eyes and ears for this; they are not achieving their goals. let's talk about what zelinski is doing to ask the australians for. how much would it difference would it make if some of the weaponry that vladimir zelinski once, what if that was delivered? we are talking about surface to air missiles, antitank weaponry among others. >> australia has already gotten a small amount of weapons and

aid. nothing that australia knows will make a decisive difference. australia will contribute because it is a loyal ally of the united states. it believes, the australian government has said there is a broader principle here at play. australia wants to make a definitive statement that it opposes the unprovoked use of force by the russian side. i think the broader issue of weapons transfers to ukraine now , i mean my sense is that it has made a really decisive difference. it has made a major difference on the battlefield along with the training that the forests has offered over the last eight years which had a major effect on transforming the performance of the ukrainian military and it has effectively made it impossible for russia to achieve its maximum ambitions. >> thank you very much sam as

always, we appreciate your analysis. rescue and recovery operations are said to be ongoing in southern ukraine. this is after a russian strike on an administrative building on tuesday. it is an unbelievable scene. essentially, a giant hole from a russian missile. it pierced through the building. the death toll has client to 15. cnn's ben lederman gives us a firsthand look at the devastation. >> reporter: somewhere in this jumble of concrete, bricks and twisted metal are more bodies. they are trapped in the ruins of the office regional governor. tuesday morning, russian missile struck the building, killing more than a dozen people, wounding many more. >> they bombard our city and only civilians are dying here. >> reporter: the mayor does not normally come to city hall like this. he saw were coming long ago. he prepared himself.

>> i saw from 2014, i felt that the war would be like this. everything you see on me, vests, boots, anything, i bought it a couple years ago. i started to learn how to shoot . i was in a special school for that. >> reporter: on the outskirts of the city, recently downed russian attack helicopters suggested the ukrainian military also saw this were coming. they managed to stop russian forces in their tracks. they regained territory lost at the start of the war. this five-year-old is recovering from shrapnel wounds to his head, in the basement turned bomb shelter at the regional children's hospital. his grandfather vladimir shows me phone video of the bullet riddled car that his father was driving when the family was trying to escape the russian

advance. russian soldiers opened fire on the car, killing the grandfather and mother. as we speak, the air right siren goes off. taking shelter is an oft practiced drill. stay calm. carry-on. cnn, ukraine. >> a senior u.s. defense official tells cnn that russian troops have withdrawn from chernobyl. russia took control of the abandoned nuclear plant in february. that led to fears that safety standards would be compromised. russia says that it is part of a de-escalation around kyiv with the u.s. defense department saying that bombardment does in fact continue, 20% of russia forces moving toward the capital have repositioned elsewhere. after a break, they did not want to leave their country and for many, the only hope that

they have ever known, refugees recently escaped the violence and they tell cnn what drove them out of ukraine. plus, the ukrainian president, as we have been reporting will speak soon to australia's parliament as he continues to appeal for more assistance from the west. we are live in sydney, ahead. ♪ if you really wanna find out what you're made of, you can forget the personality tests and socialedia quizzes. because the only w you're ever gonna know is by heading into thbig, wild, raging

♪ well this just into cnn, according to state media, russia has announced that forces will open in evacuation corridor today from the besieged ukrainian city. a russian general says forces will suspend the use of weapons during that time. ukraine has accused russia of shelling evacuation, and humanitarian roots with the mayor saying on monday that evacuation corridor's are largely under russian control. there is not a shred of trust on the ukrainian side regarding this russian announcement. it is very much wait and see if the russians will honor their pledge to allow civilians to evacuate through these roots.

the united nations says that in five weeks, more than 4 million people have poured out of ukraine. most of them are being taken in by neighboring countries but hundreds of thousands are moving onto other parts of europe. the rapidly growing refugee crisis has been particularly tough on children who make up half of those who fled ukraine. unicef says 2 1/2 million others have been forced from their homes and they remain inside the country. this is just among kids. many of the refugees lucky enough to reach safety are mourning the lives they once knew and the family members that they have lost. the you and high commissioner for refugees tried to describe what it is that they are enduring. >> i cannot put it in context, there is no more context to compare this to anything else. it is not just numbers. it is the fear, the loss, it is the separation. it is the uncertainty about the future. this is difficult to compare,

difficult to measure, difficult to address. >> hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have been crossing into hungry. cnn's matt rivers spoke to the new arrivals about what drove them out of their country. >> reporter: this train station, just across the border from ukraine, it is here where refugees fleeing the war touch hungarian soil. people have been arriving here since the first days of the war. these are the people that chose to stay longer. this was up until they could not. this woman left worth her husband and three daughters. >> reporter: how old is she? >> five. >> reporter: she asked of the tank which suited us. >> she sought a tank every day. >> reporter: she sought russian tanks? >> she sought russian tanks. >> reporter: russian soldiers

had occupied her village and set up artillery positions and ukrainian forces started to target them. just a few days ago, there was an explosion about 100 meters from her house. right after it hit, she knew it was time to go. she says, i thought to myself, i am 34, i have three children. it cannot end like this. we walked right into the forest for two hours. the ukrainian soldiers stopped us and told us there were snipers everywhere. they put us underneath shields. they walked us to safety because there were firefights everywhere. i never wanted to leave she said. eventually, she had no choice. it is a common sentiment from those here who waited for weeks after the invasion to make a brutal decision to flee the only home that they have ever known.

this individual was one of them. >> translator: we stated a really tough time after the war started. every day, the sound of the bombing got closer and closer. our children are small. the building did not have a basement and there was no cover available. she joined the hundreds of thousands of other ukrainians that have arrived here in hungry. as her kids sit and play in her lap, she gets emotional about the threat to their lives. she is worried about others. >> translator: i cannot understand why she says choking up. there are lots of small children who died and i cannot understand the purpose of this poor. it is not just my children that are in danger. the ukrainian prosecutor's office is at least 145 children have died in the war. >> reporter: this number is only certainly in undercount. this individual fled because she did not want her kids added to the list. and now, she gets back on the train, headed toward budapest. there is an uncertain future admits a horrible war. not rivers, cnn hungry.

[ speaking in foreign language ] [ applause ]

>> i think the leader of the opposition, president zelenskyy, your excellency, i invite you to address the members of the house of representatives and senators, you have our attention. you know of the floor. >> [ speaking in foreign language ] >> translator: leader of the opposition, ladies and gentlemen, leaders of the government, members of the parliament, the people of australia thank you for this honor to have this address today in 2016, thousands of australians came to the city to see for the first time the ukrainian dream as we call it.

this was our plane and 225, this in english means dream. having travel time is 15,000 kilometers, this has brought an urgent point. the power generated 130 tons. this was very important to one of your company's. they helped to aid for the shipment and if they had done this through the sea, it would have taken months. the ukrainian plane has done a very quickly. we have always been proud of are deemed not because it was the largest but because it was helping people. this was in all countries of the world. it was bringing food, water, equipment for humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. in 2019, after the beginning of the covid pandemic, our dream

was bringing the most urgent medical cargo, things that were saving people's lives. adults and children all of the world, in different countries, this dream was bringing life. now, this is not possible. this is not possible because there is a country which holds two completely different values. these are different from our values, from your values, from the values of the civilized war. this country started a full- fledged war against us. they are selling cities and villages. they are killing our civilians. and they are killing our children. they are creating sieges of our cities and they are keeping and holding hostages for hundreds of thousands of people in the cities without water. and food. they are a seeing thousands of children that they are transporting to their territories. on the 27th, as a result of fighting in a city, the plane,

the dream, it was destroyed. we can say that russia destroyed our dream. no, they just weren't down a plane. they burnt down hardware, shall, but not the essence, not the freedom, not the dignity. they did not bring the independence. we know that our dream is undefeatable and undistracted. this is especially if we can count on the support of the free world, on your support, on your assistance. and, unlike in the history that i just told, we needed not just a couple of months but we needed help urgently, now. ladies and gentlemen, the people of australia, the distance between our countries as you said is big, it is

thousands of kilometers. we are separated by oceans, seas and territories of dozens of other countries. we are separated by time zones. there is no such thing as distance for the brutality and chaos that russia brought to the eastern ukrainians. they brought this to the black sea and they brought this to our ukrainian land. ever it is happening to our region, the russian aggression is destroying the lives of people. this has become a real threat to your country and to your people as well. this is because this is the nature of the evil. it can instantly cross any distance. it can cross any barriers. it can destroy lives. for dozens of years, there has not been this threat of nuclear attack as we have now. russian representatives, officials, official propagandist, they are openly discussing the possibility of using nuclear weapons against those who do not want to sit do

to russian commands. and for dozens of years, it has never been that a country would block the whole see for other vessels of any country. this is exactly what was done by russia. also, the black sea and another see, it is the dead sea these days. any vessel that is trying to come in can simply be destroyed by the russian navy. more than hundreds of trade vessels, under different flags have been blocked by russia in our ports. for dozens of years, we have not seen this in the world, for a country to stop a war against a neighboring country openly, declaring their enslavement or destruction.

not to leave even the name of that nation, not to have even any opportunity for this nation to live freely, this has not happened. the last pages of the 20th century have been brought back by russia. the biggest threats of that century came back. believable that humanity thought they had put away a long time ago but the most terrible thing is that if we do not stop russia now, we do not hold russia accountable, and some other countries of the world who are looking forward to this similar war against their neighbors will decide that such things are possible for them as well. the fate of the global community is decided now. no one can manage winds are precipitation. nobody can say any part of the world from radioactive contamination which will come if nuclear weapons are used. no country in the world can theoretically, they should not even have a theoretical possibility of blocking trade,

fleets, and block the seas for other countries. you should be a theoretical possibility to do so. the leader of the world can count on being on punishable is he is thinking about a prospective war. ladies and gentlemen, the election of australia, after more than a month of the full- fledged war against russia, we can surely say that there is no other way of bringing the global security as bringing russia to peace and silence. and they should be brought for

responsibility and accountability. this is a country which is using the nuclear blackmailing, they should receive the sanctions. >> you have been watching and listening to the president of ukraine, vladimir zelinski. he was addressing a via video, australian parliament. he is talking there. he made it clear that he wants some more support from australia. in fact, the prime minister scott morrison did announce just prior to this that he welcomed the president. he announced a military package and he said that they would offer help to rebuild ukraine. he also called vladimir putin a war criminal. in the s speech here that we ju heard from mr. zelinski, he e pointed out that russia posed a nuclear threat to the whole world. he said that we must hold russia accountable n now. this is for the sake o of the whole world. we will have more on all o of this after the short break. please stay with us. ♪
