. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm michael holmes. thanks fortunately being us with. the ukrainian authorities reporting a dramatic increase in russian shelling along ukraine's eastern and southern fronts. the governor of mykolaiv in southern ukraine is accusing russia of using cluster munitions on the city on friday,

at least five civilians reported killed there. after failing to capture the capital in their initial invasion, the russians now expected to launch a renewed offensive in the east. that attack could come at any time. ukrainian military officials claim recent russian attempts to break through the lines though have been rappelled. u.s. officials now confirmed that the pride of russia's black sea fleet, the guided-missile cruiser moskva, was sunk by two ukrainian missiles. moscow denies that, claims the ship sank after catching fire and setting off ammunition. there are conflicting reports about the 500 or so crew onboard. ghastly scenes being uncovered around kyiv where the russians laid waste to many surrounding villages and towns as they retreated. more than 900 bodies of civilians have been reported recovered so far. a warning. the images in phil black's

report are graphic. >> reporter: the operation to recover and investigate bucha's dead is now industrial in its scale. teams of people are working to empty the town's mass grave and many smaller ones. the victims of russia's occupation are being retrieved from the earth. there are so many bodies, rarely do those doing the digging know the to stories of how each person lived and died. here two men are being exhumed from the grounds of a small church. the priest, who oversaw their first burial, didn't know them. he says he thinks one was a scientist. the other a school bus driver. he thinks they were shot and killed in the street. among the now notorious images from bucha's road of death this man lying beneath his bike. his name was vladimir

borochenka. svetlana is his widow. she says she told her husband, don't go. they're shooting. the tanks are already on the street. but he insisted on leaving the house. she says the 68-year-old grandfather was killed as soon as he reached the road. his bike is still there. and this building stands near bucha in village. among those killed here were yulia's parents natalia and victor. her mother was helping a young injured woman discarded by the russian soldier when more soldiers suddenly entered their home. she says, they came in, shot the woman, shot my mother, and then my father ran out when he heard something was wrong and they shot him. the young woman was karina. she was 23 years old.

karina's mother says police told her her daughter was raped before she was shot. it's more than two weeks since the russians withdraw and the operation to account for all the bodies they left behind isn't finished. mourning each victim, remembering how they lived, understanding why they died will take much longer. phil black, cnn, bucha, ukraine. >> with russia's war losses mounting, ukraine's president is warning that moscow might resort to tactical nuclear weapons against ukraine. he spoke with cnn's jake tapper. have a listen. >> not only me. i think all of the world all the countries have to be worried because, you know, it can be not real information, but it can be truth because when they begin to speak about one or another

battles or involved enemies or nuclear weapons or some chemistry, you know, issues, chemistry weapons, they should do it, they could do it. i mean, they can. for them life on the people is nothing. that's why we truth think not be afraid. i mean, not be afraid. be ready, but that is not the question for -- to ukraine and not only for the ukraine, for all the world. i think so. >> president zelenskyy's warning follows a similar concern expressed by america's cia director that u.s. officials say they have seen no evidence so far that the kremlin is planning or preparing to use nuclear weapons. two sources within the biden administration told cnn protests by russia over military aid to ukraine proved that that aid is working. moscow sent an official

communication to the u.s. protesting the latest $800 million package. russia warns of what they describe as unpredictable consequences if that aid continues. the white house believes that shows the russians are hurting and that they would not send that message if they were, indeed, dominating the battlefield, as they say. that new batch of u.s. weapons to ukraine will start arriving in the region in less than 24 hours according to a u.s. defense official, but if you see what's on the list it becomes clear why russia wants those shipments to stop, as alex marquardt reports now. ukraine is about it receive more sophisticated weapons than washington ever gave it before. >> reporter: with russia's war against ukraine about to enter its third month, the battlefield has changed significantly. the region around the capital kyiv is can quieter for now. but u.s. and nato officials warn that a dramatic escalation by russia in eastern ukraine is

coming. with that shift and escalation, ukraine's needs for weapons are changing and growing. this week the biden administration announced a weapons package worth $800 million with new and more sophisticated systems. >> some of them are reinforcing capabilities that we have already been providing ukraine, and some of them are new capabilities that we have not provided to ukraine. >> reporter: among the bigger items are mi 17 helicopters, 11 of them, which the u.s. redirected from afghanistan to ukraine. small drones called switchblades, 300 of them. also called kamikaze killer drones that can target russian soldiers and armored vehicles. and for the first time howitzer which fire artillery shells at long-range targets. ukraine is being sent 18 with 40,000 rounds of ammunition. the list goes on, and includes coastal sea drones to defend against russia's ships in the

black sea. 200 armored personnel carriers. counter artillery radars. equipment for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attacks. and thousands more javelin and stinger missiles to use against russian tanks and aircraft. countless russian armored vehicles have been destroyed by weapons provided by nato countries. ukrainian forces have rappelled russian advances thanks to them. >> i think that the yield that ukraine is offering is fair. you give us weapons, we sacrifice our lives and the war is contained in ukraine. >> reporter: but ukraine says it needs more. >> we are grateful for what we have been given. we need helicopters, planes, powerful weapons, how litsers. we need a lot. >> reporter: a point of contention with the u.s. is over fighter jets. ukraine wants them while the biden administration is worried russia will take that as too much of a provocation. moscow has warned it would target weapons heading into

ukraine and this week sent a protest letter to washington over the growing weaponry being sent. but the state department says friday that nothing will dissuade the u.s. from continuing its support. alex marquardt, cnn, washington. >> jill dougherty is adjunct professor at georgetown university, also cnn's former moscow bureau chief. good to see you. okay. to start with, what is your read on russia's warning to the u.s. on those western arms being shipped? i mean, calling unpredictable consequences and so on. what are the risks that the russians my bomb convoys of western arms inside ukraine? >> oh, i think they might. as alex pointed out, they are already threatening to do that and they could. i mean, they made the case, i think it was a couple of days ago, where they actually said, you know, all -- it's according to the rules of war, we can do

this because it's, you know, mate material that can be used offensively, therefore, we can hit it. now, whether they will do that, i don't know, but you would have to think that if it's being used by the ukrainian military, then they would think that it is fair game. >> i wanted to ask you, too, because you have been talking about this, tell us how embarrassing is the loss of the russian flagship, the moskva. how embarrassing is that for putin? how is it being seen in russia? i know you monitor such things. >> right. well, i mean, let's look at it militarily. it's very significant militarily. the fact that it took, you know, a little while and the government continued -- the russian government continued to say it was a fire aboard and then decimated armaments and then it was towed and then it sank, if you watch russian media, there have been talk

shows. and these are used for particular purposes of kind of often kind of putting up a trial balloon for an idea. so at one of these talk shows i was watching they said, well, actually, they didn't go along with the party line. they said, well, actually, the ukrainians were trying to hunt that ship and take it down. the attack was planned in advance. so that to me was very strange because that is not what the government is saying. but if you look at that argument, then it is embarrassing to the russian government to have the ukrainians kill a ship like that. so immediately then the argument becomes, on the show, in fact, it had to be nato, it had to be the united states. and i think in most of what russian propaganda is saying right now, everything really does boil down to the united states because when you get into

details about ukraine, it gets very confused, you know, are they our slavik brothers? are they the enemy? are they all nazis? is it just the government? it gets very confusing. and also the only country that really means something in a sense of big power competition to russia is the united states. >> when it comes to what's being seen inside russia, i mean, funerals are happening. thousands of young men can't just disappear without it being noticed. what is your read on if ordinary russians are hearing more about the facts rather than state media's take on events? >> well, you know, i think, michael, that they are going to have to hear that in the sense from their own friends, from their own families, and if they have lost a boy, they are going to have to hear it, you know, when the body comes back because there is very little information about how many people have been

killed. the military rarely releases any concrete figures. in fact, in the sinking of the moskva, we still don't know, according to the russians, how many people actually survived that, how many sailors survived, how many were killed. that is not public information yet. and then you add that to the fact that the media have been absolutely, any independent media, have been absolutely decimated, and then the control over the central media, the government media. so there is very little information coming to anybody unless you get it firsthand. >> well, if thousands and thousands of russian troops have died, they are going to notice at some point back in russia. the u.s. and its allies now are starting to say this could drag on for a year or, indeed, years. could putin be looking to, you know, quote, unquote, succeed by waiting out the west, testing its resolve, you know, perhaps a

stale stalemate ends up being a win for him that he could claim as a win? >> you know, it felt that way earlier when, let's say, sanctions, would all of the western allies with the united states come onboard with the sanctions. and in the beginning the great fear was, no, a lot of them might not because they have their own economic interests. but so far they are sticking together. so this idea is, i think, waning a little bit. it doesn't mean that it's going to go away because if the war drags on, people get used to conflicts. that is a problem. and there could be war weariness where people just say, you know, they don't pay as much attention. but i don't know, i think the question for president trump wo president putin does he have the weaponry to do this? if you look at the sophisticated weapons, really, really sophisticated ones, they need

microprocessors and things that are covered under sanctions and that russia does not have or manufacture itself. so that could be a real problem if they begin to run out of these very, you know, high-tech components for their weapons. >> yeah. good point. always good to see you, jill. jill dougherty there. thanks so much. >> okay. >> well, from heartbreak to relief, just ahead an update on that elderly woman trapped in one of ukraine's war zones we reported on yesterday. also, the war in ukraine weighing heavily over this year's holy week. details on the pope's solemn service. that's also still to come. the fast way to bring it up to speed. is scotts turf builder rapipid grass. rapid grass is a revolutionary mix of seed d and fertilizer that will change the way you grow grass. it grows two times faster than seed alone for full, green grass in just weeks.

welcome back. in recent days we brought you the heartbreaking story of an elderly woman unable to evacuate the war-torn area in eastern ukraine and it provoked a passionate response from people all around the world who saw that story and wanted to know what happened to the woman known as lydia. clarissa ward was able to track her down and brings us the update. >> reporter: lydia thought this day would never come. after weeks of horror, she waits outside her apartment to be evacuated. so we're here at the big heart living facility and we're just waiting for lydia to arrive. she has been driving for some hours and we're excited to see her. here she is. >> good to see you, man.

we got her out. >> reporter: lydia greets cameraman scotty. it's our old friend, she says. i'm so glad to see you again. after we left lydia thursday, there was an outpouring from people who wanted to help. we managed to connect volunteers to a care home in the relative safety of dnipro. leaving lydia alone in her apartment was incredibly tough to. to see her safe is a huge relief. today i will finally feel calm, she says. this is so important. thank you.

her journey was far from easy. she is saying that there was a lot of shelling this morning and it was terrifying. it took six long hours to get here, but she made it. i'm so lucky, she says. safe and comfortable at long last. >> clarissa ward there. what a nice update to see. now, the war in ukraine is casting a shadow over holy week activities. pope francis leading a somber service at st. peter's basilica on good friday which recalls when jesus died on the cross. but the event didn't go exactly as planned. cnn's john allen with more on that. >> reporter: friday night, good friday, pope francis presided over the traditional way of the cross ceremony at roam's coliseum. it's a ritual that commemorates

the steps of jesus on his way to crucifixion. 10,000 or more people turned out making this the largest religious ceremony in rome provided over by the pope since the covid pandemic began. this year it came wrapped in controversy because at one moment during the ritual pope francis invited a ukrainian woman and a russian woman to carry the cross together. now, the pope, obviously, intended this as a gesture of reconciliation and of peace, but many ukrainians objected. the head of the greek catholic church in ukraine called it incoherent and offensive. the ukrainian ambassador to the vatican lodged a formal protest. and a consortium of catholic broadcasters in ukraine refused to carry the way of the cross ceremony because of that moment. their argument was that in implied a kind of moral equivalence between the aggressor, that is russia, and

the victim of that aggression, ukraine. and said that it is premature to talk about reconciliation until russia repents, that is, discontinues the present war. as is so often the case in the vatican, tonight once again faith and politics were intertwined. for cnn, this is john allen in rome. >> you are looking there at images of solidarity for ukraine and its neighbor poland. hundreds of polish catholics and ukrainians praying for peace at a way of the cross procession in warsaw. 5 million people have fled ukraine since the start of the war, the majority going it poland. seas ceasefire is not alway good word for a war expert to hear. she believes a ceasefire in ukraine could be a bad idea depending how it's negotiated. it could create more problems than it solves.

east ahead of an expected offensive there. ukraine says shelling is picking up across the region, including a rocket launcher attack that killed ten people in kharkiv on friday. a local prosecutor says 35 others were injured. the u.s. now says it was ukrainian missiles that sank the pride of russia's black sea fleet. that's what ukraine said from the get go, but russian claims the missile cruiser moskva suffered an accidental explosion. a russian news agency says at least some of the surviving crew members arrived in the port of sebastopol on friday. meanwhile, ukrainian police say the remains of more than 900 civilians have been recovered near kyiv since russian troops pulled out. russia facing accusations of atrocities there. the brother of kyiv's mayor told cnn earlier russians may try again to take the capital. >> we do expect that russians are going to be back and we're

preparing for that and past 51 days have been shown that they might use anything possible to come back. so we need to be prepared for everything. >> refugees continue to flee the fighting as russia steps up its attacks in eastern ukraine. the u.n. says nearly more than 4.7 million people have now escaped the country, another 7 million more are internally displaced. the increase in russian attacks making it difficult for civilians to leave war-torn areas according to the ukrainian government. nine humanitarian corridors were opened on friday and more than 2,800 people were evacuated. now, given such a high humanitarian cost of this war, you'd think a ceasefire would be a good thing. my next guest says a ceasefire could, though, create its own problems down the line. natalia is a non-resident security research fellow at the

institute for the study of war. she joins me from washington. thanks for doing so. your piece on the institute's website about this issue is fascinating and people should read it. you write that a russian ceasefire if one were to come could be a threat. how so? >> i think there are several risks associated with any russian ceasefire. but all of them fundamentally come from one fact, that the kremlin's intent with regard to ukraine hasn't changed for many years, and vladimir putin made it very clear he will take nothing less than control over ukraine and sovereignty. so any russian ceasefire will be likely used to adjust and adopt the ways in which the kremlin tries to do so rather than scale down. i will also say that in the next couple of weeks we are unlikely to see serious conversations about ceasefire. however, if the russian

offensive in the east is going poorly, which in my offer, such as ceasefire, in order to freeze the front lines in the best possible way he can hope for in the war. >> i want to get to frozen front lines in a minute. concession, i guess, they are normal in peace negotiations, you give you take. it's true that putin's personality makes him see concessions as weakness or failure. what are the risk of cop sessions that leave the door open so in a couple of years, ten years putin could do this all over again? >> sure. i think for ukraine the risk is actually existential because the way putin framed this war leaves very little room for the middle ground. as you recall, in his speech on the eave of the invasion he stated he doesn't believe in ukraine's statehood. he had leaves ukraine with a choice of either obliteration of

existence and i think our planning assumption should be whether it's putin or even his successor who will keep coming back for ukraine sovereignty. that's the only way forward, is ukraine to keep continuing fighting and, fortunately, ukraine won the first round in this war and has a chance to win the next phase. >> so if putin, okay, says we'll stop with donbas and crimea, perhaps part of the land corridor between the two. let's make a deal. as you were sager your, you also write that frozen front lines, which that would be, can set the conditions for future conflict, that while some ceasefires lead to peace, others lead to more war. explain that more for us in the context of this conflict. >> sure. i think first is really important to elaborate on the implications of the russian forces on the occupied territories. russia is conducting a terror

campaign against civilians in the occupied territories. it's the only way russia can govern because there is pushback even from the russian speakers. so even stopping fighting will not necessarily stop the killing. and actually it can make those trapped behind the enemy lines unable to defend themselves. so that's risk number one. and number two, make no mistake, if russia is allowed to dig in, especially in ukraine's south, the only place where it truly made military gains, it will establish permanent military foothold that it will then use in perpetuity to threaten ukraine and also actually europe and more. >> and the thing is, of course, putin has many, many times, including in the build-up to this war, used, quote, unquote, talks as a tactic, as you say, delaying so he can regroup or reposition. so, obviously, he shouldn't be trusted when it eventually comes to peace talks. is that right? and if he can't be trusted, what

should ukraine and the west's tactics be if it comes to talks? >> i think russia had eight years of opportunities to make peace and it never kmchose to, part because peace was never a goal. the control was. so far we have no indication that that has changed. i think the center of gravity in this war is ukraine's will to five. as long as ukrainians are willing to defend themselves, the west should do everything to support that. one change of tactic that should happen in the west is actually ramping up the scale and speed of the military aid so it matches ukraine's requirements on the ground. >> you know, it's a terrific article. a fascinating article. i hope people have a look at it. natalia, thanks so. >> thank you. all right. we are going to take a break. when we come back, tensions are high in jerusalem after violence

broke out at the al-aqsa mosque compound. and struggling to buy basic goods for survival. sri lanka bemired in the worst economic are crisis in decades. we'll be right back.

you're looking there at images from south africa's eastern coast ravaged by severe storms and flooding earlier this week. nearly 400 people have been killed. more than 40,000 have been affected in some way. the government says it was one of the worst storms in south africa's history. forecasters warning more rain and damaging winds are expected in the region through saturday evening. jerusalem on edge after clashes between palestinians and israeli forces at the al-aqsa mosque compoundal. palestinians say more than 150 people were injured by israeli security forces friday. israeli police say they have made more than 300 arrests in the compound and in the mosque. they only entered, they say, because those throwing rocks were jeopardizing safe worship. all of this happening during a holy period for muslims, christians and jews.

>> reporter: the sounds of violence as dawn broke on friday over the old city of jerusalem. hundreds of palestinians clarning with sfli forces around the mosque only pound known as the temple mount, holy to muslims and jews. israeli police say they were responding to violent rioters throwing rocks and launching fireworks. surveillance footage released by police appeared to show masked men smashing rocks overnight in preparation. by midmorning the palestinian red crescent said more than 150 people had been injured. among those injured was a palestinian cameraman. being kicked and beaten by police. three israeli officers were injured, hit by rocks, police said. at one point israeli police entering the mosque itself. a move seen as a major provocation by muslims. police said they arrested more than 300 inside. israel's foreign minister defended police actions saying

rock throwers were jeopardizing free worship. before friday's unrest there had been a sense of a city holding its breath in anticipation as an in a rarity the holidays of ramadan, good friday and passover overlap. in the middle of the night before the violence the muslim residents gathered for the traditional meal before the sun rises and the daily fast begins. later as the sound of stun grenades and fireworks echoed in the background pilgrims and locals from western churches made their way along the stations of the cross, tracing the path jesus made before ending at the church of the holy sepulchre which christians revere as the site of the crucifix. if the religious calendar brought tensions, so, too, had recent events in israel and the west bank. the israeli army sfepg up raids and operations in palestinian stouns and cities in response to a series of attacks in israel that killed 14 people in less

than three weeks. and though by early evening it seemed like a lid had been placed on the city's tensions, it may only be a matter of time before it boils over once again. cnn, jerusalem. in se sri lanka festivities were marked by protests. the nation is suffering through its worst economic crisis in decades. people struggling to buy essentials such as food and petrol. there are fears that the health system could collapse. protesters gathered at a camp to pray with monks to welcome the new year as well as calls for the president to resign. officials say the economy which relies heavily on tourism has been hard hit by both the easter bomb ins in 2019 and the ongoing pandemic. according to the ministry of health, the government has received $10 million from the world bank to purchase medicine, but it's unclear when it is due
