>> reporter: hope die last. the search continues for this father who vanished in the war. >> that is cnn's ed lavandera reporting. thank you, ed. i'm wolf blitzer, and i'll be back in the new streaming service on cnn plus with my new show called "the newscast." erin burnett's "outfront" starts erin burnett's "outfront" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com "outfront" starting next, with russian troops coming in ukraine with the besieged city of mariupol. and now, putin, and how many crew members were on board when it sank and how many were able

to get off? russians who are calling putin out for his lies. let's go "outfront." i'm kate bolduan in for erin burnett. thousands of russian troops on the way to eastern ukraine. thousands of troops are on the way to donbas region in addition to the soldiers who have made their way into ukraine in the last few days. the russian foreign minister calling this the next phase of putin's invasion. tonight, the new mass of russian forces is ramping up the assault, and more strikes across the country including the southern region of nikolaiev, and now the mayor is making the unsettling request for 200,000 gas masks to protect the innocent. and now, ukrainian officials are

releasing communications they say were intercepted that putin said to level everything where ukrainian defenders are held up. >> translator: we are expecting surprises from russia here. >> translator: what kind of surprises? >> translator: three 1 tons from the sky. the man went on the say that -- so moving on, and we do want to warning that there may be days the or hours left in mariupol, and that they have control and that soldiers are in that steel factory there, but there is some, and they are getting some help in ukraine tonight. the u.s. is preparing another $800 million weapons package as the pentagon sends seven flights with security assistance to ukraine over the next 24 hours. listen. >> the need has changed, because now the war has changed, and now the russians have prioritized

the donbas area, and this is a whole different level of fighting. >> we have reporters all across ukraine, and we want to start with jim sciutto who is there on the ground, and what are you learning this evening? >> that is right, kate. it is the early stages of russia's renewed focus, we should say on the east and the south, and i am told so far no, more russian advances there, and no ground gained so far, and really probing attacks, but that does not sort of foursquare what is going to happen next, because they have taken kyiv and the capital, and moved in other forces from russia, and this is becoming the new focus for now. getting more of the donbas and parts of what they have occupied since 2014, and we have to be clear here, they have already gained ground there just in the

last several weeks as the attention has been focused on the north in terms of establishing the land bridge, that area there in the red connecting crimea already held back to russia going back to 2014, and smaller parts of donbas and they have in effect connected the two areas, and it does not mean they stop there in the east and the south, but the intention is to move further west in the area to grab really that whole eastern region of the country. there is no guarantee they do it, and the ukrainian forces are formidable there, and by the way, as we mentioned the u.s. and nato sent an enormous new tranche of weapons there in the last few days and new weapons are going, because they are preparing, kate, to what is going to look like to all of us world war ii, and you are talking about trenches and major armor formations on both sides and artillery strike, and bombing campaign ps, and infantry moves and what you are

talking about, kate, deliberate targeting of civilians from the air, that is going to continue, and the certain is intensify, because russian military doctrine, it does not do it accidentally, and levels the cities is part of the plan, and that is something that we have to prepare adds we are following the war in coming days and weeks. >> jim, thank you for that. the situation in mariupol, and it is growing more desperate by the hour. matt rivers is out front. >> for the battered and desperate citizens of mariupol, a chilling new threat has e eme emerged, the sbu, has intercepted a communications that said for the russians to level everything arounbove the

gro ground. >> reporter: cnn cannot vouch for the authenticity, but they have received other intercepted traffic with russian soldiers killing and raping civilians, and military observers have noticed the a tendency of the russians to use unsecured communications in ukraine, a for now the russian forces are willingly bombing a plant in the southeast of mariupol that once employed 10,000 people. it is unclear how many ukrainian forces are at the site, but they are using the free fall rockets and bunker busting rockets, and there are some photos which cnn cannot verify, but there are women, and children who are staying underneath the facility holding out against the attacks, and the surrender that was issued to the ukrainian troops

has expired, but the officials in charge of the operation says they will allow them safe evac evacuation. >> we will guarantee safe evacuation, and the convoy movement in any way they choose. >> reporter: it is unclear if they will take the word of the russian general who has been accused of excesses in the mariupol campaign. tens the of thousands are also trying to survive in other parts of the city. reuters found these people cooking outside of a residential building monday and chopping wood to boil water and soup and cook pancakes. t this woman who is cutting water says they need to quickly fix the water supply problem, because it is horrible. this woman said of the

bombardment. >> translator: to be honest, we are not well, i have problems after the air strike, and i am scared. when i hear a plane, i run away. >> reporter: and kate, we spoke to the commander of the ukrainian marines currently held up in the steel plant, and he said that civilians are not willing to surrender to the russians because they don't believe they will be kept safe or they will be conscripted to the russian army, and they want to call on a third party country like turkey to hold a evacuation to hold third-party norms, and they said this may be our last statement, because we have only a few days or hours left. kate. >> thank you so much, appreciate it, matt. out front is demitra guerin who is also from mariupol, and thank you for joining us. we are hearing what matt is

hearing from the ground there, and what is the latest that you are hearing from there? >> matt described the situation pretty good. we have really bad situation in mariupol, and our troops are surrounded, and what they are doing now is far behind heroic. and russia does not want to in reality want the city to exist, because we see they bomb intentionally civilians, and the infrastructure, and they have destroyed the city to the ground. everything i have seen in the city, and everything i have lived in, like my old neighborhood and the whole city is destroyed to the ground. my city, my university, my schools, hospitals, everything. now our defenders are in the

seashore and russia is starting to heavily bomb with dropping the bombs from the planes, and the territory, and we are waiting for more and more powerful bombs. >> i want to ask you for that, because i wanted to play some of the recording that we played earlier. it was released by the security services of ukraine that says it is a russian ground commander about that steel factory there in marimariupol. >> we are expecting surprises from russia. >> what kind of surprises? >> three 1-ton surprises. >> and he is said to level everything from the ground. if true, you are talking about the places that you are laying out, and this is the last stronghold for the ukrainian troops and hundreds the of civilians taking shelter with them, and what is the reaction there to hearing that?

>> i think it is not my reaction or the ukrainian reaction or the reaction from all of the civilized world, and the russian strategy is if you don't do what we want, we will kill you, and we have seen it in the unoccupied territories and many mariupol, also, so if you are not with us, you are a dead man. that is very simple strategy. russia has decided if mariupol, if pit doesn't want to be russian city, mariupol will have to be destroyed to the ground. they need this corridor to crimea, and now they are not interested in a ukrainian city. >> in the end, if the ukrainian forces will not surrender, and no indication they will. what will get russia to stop

attacking mariupol? >> i think they will continue to attack in mariupol, because they are, you know, there is the mariupol is a problem for them. a lot of the troops have to attack in mariupol our troops, and they cannot attack on the northern direction to the north from azoz and donbas and very important territory for us, and so until the heroes are there, the russian troops are there and they will attack. >> thank you so much for coming in. i really appreciate it. outfront with us now is retired colonel cedric leighton who is a member of the joint chiefs of staff. thank you for coming in, colonel. and again, ukraine rebuffing russian's demands to surrender, and the fate, as dmitry is

talking about, it is depending upon hanging on to the city, and they believe it is hours they have left. and where do you see this going at this point, and at this point, what does mariupol mean to the overall war effort? >> kate, it is good to be with you, and this is a symbolic situation, now, and it is going beyond the very fact of mariupol being the center of utter devastation, and utter destruction it is, but it is a symbol for the ukrainian nation, and what the ukrainian defenders have done is to tie down a number of russian troops that are tied down in the effort to besiege the city, and in essence to lay at waste as dmitry mentioned. it is tragic situation, but from a military situation, the russians are not going to gain

what they believe they will gain, but they are going to be gaining a pyrrhic victory, and they will have empty buildings, and a land bridge they are hoping to get, but it is not a land bridge to use between crimea and the donbas. >> i wanted to ask you about the weapons that the united states is sending in. and the sources are saying that the u.s. is not able to track the weapons going to ukraine, and there are not boots on the ground to follow them through, and one person briefed said it is like this. it drop into black hole, and you have no sense of it after a short period of time once it crosses into the border, and they call it a risk that they willing to take right now, but how big of a risk? >> it is a potential huge risk, because they should have a tagging and tracking system like

with a amazon or fedex package to help us to determine not only how much is going there, but where it is going, and whether or not it is being used effectively. >> it sounds dumb, but can they do it with the weapons? >> for some of them, yes, you can, and you put a tagging device on it or put a bar code on it, and you make sure that the recipient, you know, signs in, in essence when they receive it, and then you can track it. it has to be an agreement with the ukrainians to do it, but that is how we track a lot of the logistic supplies, and there is no reason that it cannot be done in this case, and it should be done, because we don't want these weapons to fall into the wrong hands, and we want them to be used effectively, and this is not about the use of the firepower, but the effective use of firepower, and we need to find every efficient means possible to make sure that it is doing the right thing, and, you know, giving us the right, in essence bang for the buck in this case. >> it seems almost that they are

not as concerned about the near term as them staying in the hands of the ukrainian forces, but it is about the long term what hands they do fall in, these expensive and powerful weapon systems that we are sending over. thank you, colonel. >> thank you, kate. and putin is honoring forces that are accused of war crimes and the atrocities at the hands of russian soldiers, and putin is silenced of how many troops died on that warship, and the families are not staying silent. and now, the justice department is saying they will appeal that ruling t to drop mas in airports if the cdc says it should be done, but are americans just done with maxes?

the images are disturbing. >> reporter: morgues are not supposed to be busy or so overcapacity that they need a team to move the bodies around and large mobile refrigerators to okay caccommodate them. this is one of the sites around kyiv to deal with the tide of death left behind of the russian forces. >> there is still more bodies coming. coming, yes, lots. everyday at morning. >> reporter: andre normally teaches forensic medicine, and now he is a full-time volunteer performing endless autopsies. how many murders? >> over 50%. >> reporter: by his definition, that means that 30% of these people in the bags have deliberate gunshot wounds to the head.

we witness ed a continuous cycl shuffling the bodies from trucks to cycles to coffins. the condition of the bodies means that dressing them is impossible. among those lies here waiting to be collected is a man who says the man was killed when the shelling hit the village, and he survived only to endure a form of hell. and intense fighting, she could not escape the house. and viktoria's brother says that her sister had to step over her

husband's body for two weeks and get through it to get to food and water, and the room is covered in blood. she is very bad now. very bad. i don't know how she will live with this loss. others who grieve are living through a different form of hell. they can't find the body of the person they love. volodymyr is searching for his brother leonard, and he shows us where he was shot and killed. where he was buried in a shall doeshallow makeshift grave before it was taken away. he has taken leave to travel through devastated communities going from morgue to morgue, but no one can help. eventually he is directed to a police office with a central list of the dead. he is told that his brother probably has not been processed

yet. volodymyr must return to the war, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, and even if leonid's body is found. it hurts a lot, he says. it hurts a lot, but we don't give up. russia has left so much death behind in areas near kyiv, some people must wait their turn to grieve. >> and phil is with us now from kyiv, and phil, the stories one after another, and they are impossible to even fathom at this point, and is there any hope for anything that could even come close to resembling justice for the victims of these crimes? >> kate, there are investigators working on just that, and you will see them at the morgues, and recording, and investigating specific crimes, and they say they are determined that someone should be held accountable, but at the same time they know that they must know the reality that russia is not going to hand

people over. and president putin has highlighted this by giving an award to specific military unit, and the 64 separate guards motor brigade which is directly involve in the atrocities in bucha but according to award, they deserve to be rewarded for astute and bold action in ukraine. they are celebrated in russia as heroes and butchers in ukraine. >> you can't fathom it, phil. thank you. and now, the president seems to have a different message for the justice department to strike down the mask mandate on planes. >> mr. president, should people

continue to wear masks on planes? >> it is up to them. and now, we are told not to worry, we have p plans. >> if you are killed, what message do you leave behind to the russians? >> the unbelievable story of the man who was targeted to be killed by putin and lived to tell the tale. >> come on. i don't want corruption in russia, i want to try to change it. >> "navalny" on cnn at 9:00 m. eastern saturday. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye!

>> and adrian broadus is out front. >> reporter: on what is a large scale unmasking, masks are flying off of the faces of travelers across the country after a federal ruling struck down mandated masks for public transportation. >> and now it is not mandatory for everyone to have masks. and so there is not an issue for wearing or not wearing maxes, it is up to you. >> reporter: the ruling came from florida u.s. district judge, a 2020 trump nominee saying that the cdc exceeded its authority, and it sparked celebrations around the country as the mask mandates were lifted for travelers mid-flight. >> yeah, no more masks! >> reporter: but beyond the initial cheers, the rule reversal prompt ad w-- prompteda

wide variety of responses. >> i took mine off right away. >> i lost my mother to covid, and so i will continue to wear mine, no matter the mandate. >> reporter: and one said the timing worked out perfectly. >> i am ready for my honeymoon, and i am glad that everybody can see the smile on our faces. >> reporter: but it created uncertainty for some people. >> it is too soon. >> i would rather be proactive and instead of going back to what we got out of. >> right now, we are in the pandemic, and we should wear masks in the public spaces. >> reporter: it prompted delta air lines to express relief that quote, covid-19 has transitioned to an ordinary seasonal virus, but the white house challenged that statement leading delta to change its language today calling covid-19, quote, a more

manageable respiratory virus with better treatment, vaccines and other scientific measures to prevent serious illness. the white house had hoped to keep the travel mandate for another two weeks. and in 2021, the federal aviation administration reported nearly 4200 unruly passengers on plane, and so far this year, about 744. late today, united airlines announced it will allow passengers it banned for failing to follow those mask rules to fly once again on a case-by-case basis. kate. >> adrien, thank you. and now, joining us from john hopkins, you have uber, and lyft joining in making the masks

optional, and is it the right time? >> i am not so concerned about the time, because it was set to expire in two weeks anyway, so we are arguing about a small amount of time, so looking at the transportation in general, many people are doing thing without a mask that are much more dangerous such as going to the bar and concerts and gathering with friends that are much more paradoxical, and so this is one place where the government kept it in place where other places are mask-free. >> it is where it was symbolic of the rules that began in the beginning of the pandemic. you been talking about the need for, or the need to have off-ramps for covid mitigation, and where do you talk about this covid mask mandate on or off in others? >> the off ramps are for the

metrics of the hospital capacities. if we are talking about the early days of the pandemic, then we will talk about the impetus of this. but when you are talking about the decoupling, the cases are up, but the deaths are falling, that is exactly where we want to be with this virus, because it is no going to be eradicated or limited, and go back to 2019 to be pre-pandemic world, but if we can manage it with antimo antimonoclonals, and you can have treatments rather than government-issued edicts which are politicized and often get people not to comply, because it is coming from the government. >> i wanted to ask you, because the white house has a different take, because the justice department says it is going to

appeal this ruling if the cdc says it is necessary, and this is where the timing of where two weeks before it expires is coming into play, but you have to new white house lead on covid, and he called the judge's decision deeply disappointing, and also saying, and writing this, the cdc scientists had asked for 15 days to make a more data-driven durable decision, and we should have given it to them, and is he wrong? >> i don't necessarily think he is wrong, but it is unclear what would have changed in 15 days. we know that ba.2 is going to increase, and it is unlikely to see the hospitals get into any problem in 15 days, because of the decoupling that we were talking about, and so i am not sure what they were trying to answer in 15 days and maybe buy some time, but it is not that difference of the mask mandate lifted yesterday or may 3rd as scheduled. i don't think that things will be ap prpreciably changing in 1

day, so i am a little in the dark of what is going to change. >> it is a good point. i talked to dr. sanjay gupta about that and he cautioned and reminded me that we were blindside when the delta hit last summer, and the country was starting the off ramp if you will, and do you think that dropping the maxes is giving the people the false sense of the security against the next variant? >> we are always going to have threats of the next variant, but it is not going to erase all of the protection that the medical counter measures will give us, and this is one small part of life where the mandates exist. everything else does not have a mask, so if we are going to be blindsided and if another variant is going to takeover, it is not using airplanes and planes and bus, but it is in the bars and the restaurants and everyday life where there has not been a mask requirement for a very long time. >> thank you for coming in, dr.

they will bring some of the agents from the northern border over here. that is only temporary. >> reporter: most migrants stay in san antonio a few nights, and jes say amaya has been here for 21 days and he is waiting for his wife in mexico waiting to cross. what is your biggest worry? her physical safety. he says that he is waiting to wait for her in san antonio, the place they hope to call home. so what is the city of san antonio going to ask the federal government for? more resources and also a head's up before they drop off an increasing number of migrants in the city. i just heard from dhs about this story moments ago, and the agency says that i they are in communication with the city of san antonio, and the city of san antonio mayor's office said since they have penned that letter, the city officials have been in constant communication

sailor aboard that ship demanding answers about his son. alex marquadt. >> reporter: questions remained of hundreds of sailors, of thick smoke bellowed from the ship before it sank. ukrainian officials said an american official believed to be true of the damage done by ukrainians. >> the russian government is hiding virtually everything about the moskva that it was attacked by the ukrainians and it was attack by missiles and deaths the casualty totals right now. it is a really disservice to the

russian population. >> reporter: the surviving sailors were brought to crimea where civilians laid flowers and wreaths and admission of there were indeed losses despite russia's claim that everyone got off the ship. >> there will be victories and losses. >> reporter: the initial line was there were no ukrainian attack but instead there was a fire on board which caused the explosion. it is a humiliatiing loss for russia but a devastating ones for the parents of the sailors killed. the father of a young conscript writing on social media, a tragedy occurred, the truth about which we have not yet found out. the story they are getting a lie, dmitry shkrebets writes.

russian military campaigns. they did have some impact. we have not seen that movement formed yet right now. it is early days. it is difficult for the average russian to get information. it is dangerous for them to go out and protest, arrests being made for the slightest protests against this war. a real movement could form as russians really understand how many of their sons are not coming home. kate. >> alex, thank you very much. out front next, newly released text messages show members of the oath keepers talked about protecting congressman ronnie jackson on januarary 6th, but why? all you.
