congratulations to jen, jeff, ella and clara faye, thank you for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room," erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, the shocking toll of putin's war. ukraine's president just revealing how many russian troops have been killed over the past 79 days as we're getting new video of one of the devastating strikes forcing russia to retreat in one region. plus, president biden, defensive tonight as new parents struggled to find baby formula. how is the administration responding to the shortage? and republicans in a mad scramble and on attack in pennsylvania as one candidate surges in the final days with this key primary, let's go "outfront."

>> good evening everyone, i'm kate bolduan in for erin burnett, ukraine's president zelenskyy declaring tonight as russia faces another setback, new video shows a russian battalion decimated as it tries to cross a series of bridges in northeast ukraine. you can see the riverbank just littered with russian artillery. artillery and tanks. u.s. official says attacks like this are quote-unquote, frustrating, russian efforts to move troops into the donbas region. and according to the pentagon, ukraine has essentially stalled putin's war plans. >> they have prevented the russians from achieving virtually any of their strategic objectives thus far in the war. >> we're also getting new images outside kharkiv where ukrainian forces have pushed back russian troops from ukraine's second largest city.

check points and buildings once occupied by putin's forces now back in ukrainian control. meanwhile, in the south, told difficult negotiations are still under way to get out some of the seriously injured ukrainian soldiers inside that sprawling steel plant. a top official saying that russia keeps changing the conditions for their release while continuing to bombard and attack the plant. and despite ukraine's advances, one ukrainian lawmaker today describes the frontlines this way -- it is hell, saying they cannot win without more weapons and more support from the united states. specifically, air defense systems and fighter jets. now, we have reporters across ukraine this evening, i want to start with sam kiley "outfront" live in kramatorsk. what is the latest on the ground now?

>> reporter: well if we take mariupol, that extraordinary fight still going on with 700 fighters from the ukrainian side holding out against the odds, most, if not all civilians have been evacuated from mariupol but they continue to be pounded. they even claimed the ukrainian sides have launched a minor counterattack to try to drive the russian forces back from the perimeter of that steel plant. that's been a very important draw away of troops to be focused that could have been focused where i am on the kramatorsk which really is the strategic prize in the campaign now of the russians now that they have gone from effectively wanting to commit regime change to capturing the donbas. this is the biggest city remaining in ukrainian hands in the donbas region and the regions of luhansk and donetsk and as you're rightly pointing out there in the introduction, there's been a significant battle over the pontoon bridge over the last couple days with

very significant losses inflicted on the russians by the ukrainians in a counter attack there and another counterattack going on around kharkiv, to the northeast there, pushing the russian forces back so far that they've actually destroyed bridges as they've been retreating, indicating they're giving up entirely on ever trying to get involved in the fight again for kharkiv. but i think the most significant kind of analysis does come from oleksandr busae saying they need more troops and those problems are going to become more apparent for the ukrainians. >> thank you for that analysis, the first war crimes trial on a russian soldier now under way, "outfront" with us in kyiv with all the details, i warn you, some of what you might see may be disturbing. >> reporter: still at war with russia, but already fighting for

justice. ukraine's opened its first war crimes trial, a 21-year-old russian soldier, accused of shooting an unarmed on the fourth day of the war, so far, identified 439 alleged war crimes according to the country's prosecutor, include the massacre of 300 unarmed civilians in bucha and the killing of many hundreds of civilians, mainly women and children in the siege of kharkiv. >> we have now some evidences that commanders give the orders to shot civilians. but from other side, we understand that ordinary soldiers have the own responsibility for these atrocity. >> and that, says ir irena venedictova is a message that needs to be sent now so russians understand there will be no impunity even as the fighting in regions like luhansk

continues. she says she's been held to gathering facts with the many forensic teams working in bucha evidence to be used by the criminal court as it investigates russia's invasion in ukraine and the war crimes allegedly committed by russian soldiers which russia denies. >> and they can understand they cannot use the armies to undermine another country and use against civilians. >> for now though, a small court in kyiv that ukrainian justice has its first say, but can a trial be fair during a war? >> tra >> reporter: shishimarin's ukrainian lawyer says he has faith and the court can be counted on to make an honest decision. say they have no information about the case but the size of the media pack inside spoke of

the interest and emotion involved on all sides. shishimarin's court translator said she felt no anger towards the 21-year-old who could face life in jail, after all, the tears of russian mothers are salty too. >> okay, given the number of war crimes registered here in ukraine by the ukrainian prosecutors so far, there will be many more trials to come. now clearly, many of them will happen in international courts and what we've seen in the war is that those war crimes tend to be uncovered, registered, sifted through by forensic experts once russian troops withdraw. the trouble with international justice, is it was set up in 1945 after the second world war, it had come after the event. the war finishes, the teams get on the ground, collect evidence, and then the trials begin, perpetrators are brought to justice. the point of what's happening in ukraine now, is to get there

early, to start prosecuting people now so active withdrawal, they think again about what it is they might carry out as they look to try to gain or keep what ground they have in ukraine so far, kate. >> great point, thank you so much. prosecutor general saying they estimate 10,000, some 10,000 war crimes have been committed in this war so far. "outfront" with us now, emily fargas former u.s. deputy assistant secretary defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia and retired general peter zwack, good to see both of you. evelyn, first, with the war crimes trial, the world cares about this trial and should care about the trial, of course, but do you think putin cares about this trial? and the many that are likely to follow? >> yeah, i mean kate, thanks for having me on. putin doesn't care about this trial. we know that he has very little respect for ukraine as a country, he doesn't respect president zelenskyy and he certainly doesn't respect the

government including the judicial system. but it's not really about what vladimir putin thinks. more importantly, and your correspondent touched on this, it really matters what the russian military leadership hears and sees and of course, the soldiers. and we don't know how much of this they will see, but i suspect through telegram and other social media means they will hear about this and hopefully, it will be a deterrent for future crimes. >> yeah, it's going to be hard to avoid hearing about it but you can be sure in russia they'll try very hard to do just that. general, senior u.s. defense official said today the ukrainian artillery is frustrating. that's the word they used, frustrating russian efforts to gain ground in the donbas, this eastern part of the country. slightly west of donbas and kharkiv, ukrainian military says russia is pulling back further still from there. we add all this together and i see this a little bit, i don't know if it's correct to see this way, kind of the ebb and flow of

the war now, what do you think these moves mean for where the battle is headed? >> the ukrainians, with terrible losses, have the initiative. and the artillery is important. it looked like it was a fire strike that took out that pontoon bridge crossing and wiped out a good chunk of a battalion tactical group, 700 people, and the ukrainians are reinforcing with artillery. we've read about that, but artillery takes a lot of rounds and the pipeline needs to continue with shells and ordinance. overall, it looks like the russians, again, while they may have numbers, they're wavering. you got ukrainian grit,

determination, and they're going to stick with the fight, as difficult it has been and are new, increasingly open armed ki whether on the ground, more and more in the air and indirect, the artillery. >> evelyn, we also learned today that about an hour-long call happened between u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin and russia's defense minister and it's the first time they have spoke in 84 days, since before the war began. and our reporting is that it came that it's, this call came in at austin's request after russia repeatedly refused to speak with u.s. officials. after 84 days, why do you think russia agreed to this call now? >> well, kate, my sense is, first, hour long call with interpretation means it's probably a half-hour call but still, you know, what it tells me is that the russians felt that they might learn something in this call and i, what i'm sensing across the board with the russians, you know, peter,

my good friend, the general, says is wavering and i sense the russians are trying to figure out what to do next. so it may be that the defense minister shoigu decided that he wanted to hear what we had to say, that somehow he would gain some information that he could bring back to putin about american resolve. although, you know, it may be that we had a serious message to convey and there was enough pre-information granted that he got on the phone. it's hard to tell without a really good read-out of the phone call. >> yeah, of course. and also, general, add into this, i would ask about wnba star brittney griner, she was arrested in february, in russia in february. today, it was announced that the court is extended her arrest until at least june 18th, for at least another month. the state department, we know, has said she is being wrongfully detained. what do you think this adds into

this conversation right now? i mean what do you think president putin could be wanting to do with her? >> i believe that it is punitive and petulant on the russian side. they are trying, in their perspective, to stick it to us and using britney as, if you will, a prop. however, it's -- i think plays badly internationally and they may be, maybe they're looking for a trade or some type of swap, but it shows ugly. i mean, it shows ugly. and it doesn't seem to be particularly credible. >> general, good to see you. evelyn, thank you as always. "outfront" for us next, close ally of vladimir putin now sanctioned by the west. someone rumored to be the russian president's wronlong-ti

girlfriend. plus the white house scrambling to deal with a new baby formula shortage that has new parents panicking. >> this is really anxiety provoking and worrisome. and it's pence verses trump, the one time team now split as both men are throwing their support between two different candidates in georgia.

his administration flat footed on the shortage of baby formula, a crisis that has been building for weeks and mounting questions of what they'll do about it, like this one from cnn's jeremy diamond. have you taken measures before the parents got to the shelves and taken the formula. >> we move as quickly as the problem became apparent to us. >> mj lee ou"outfront" live fro the white house for us. >> reporter: we've certainly seen the scramble from the white house to respond to this national baby formula shortage crisis and the number of actions it has taken and says they will take to try to deal with this issue, among those actions include working directly with companies to try to boost production, here in the u.s., also talking about importing more formula from other foreign country and see also just making it easier for families to use a federal nutrition assistance program to get access to more

formula. we also reported earlier today that the white house strongly is considering using the defense production act to make more formula and make it more readily available so there's a recognition that this is more of a longer term solution and not an immediate solution that's going to lead to formula literally being on store shelves tomorrow. now, we heard the president say there to our colleague that he believes the white house moved as quickly as possible, but that doesn't mean that he is not confronting a barrage of questions and a lot of criticism about the crisis because the recall, as you recall, goes back to february. one other thing i want to quickly note is that yesterday, we asked the white house whether there was any kind of federal guidance for parents that are unable to find formula. we didn't get a good answer, and just this afternoon, the white house rolled out a new website, hss.gov/formula with information

on contacting different manufacturers, basic safety tips for parents so we'll see if that helps alleviate these concerns but this is a very serious problem that is confronting the white house right now, kate. >> and it's not going away, that's for sure, anytime soon. good to see you, mj, thank you. so while the white house is trying to do something about the shortage, parents tell cnn they don't need help in weeks, they need help now. adrian "outfront." >> like here it will say they have it in stock. >> it's another fulltime job. >> i'm up with him at 2:00 in the morning, looking for formula. >> searching 10 hours every week. >> i start with the online site, after that i go to target, then marianos, jewel, wall green, cvs. >> one of many parents on a hunt for baby formula across the nation. >> this is really anxiety provoking and really worrisome when i get to work in the morning, i look for formula,

when we're finally sitting on the coach for an hour at night, looking for formula. so i haven't found any in about three weeks. >> reporter: she has supply for three weeks thanks to her friend and an aunt but the shortage affecting parents coast to coast, including those who can't and choose not to breast feed. other children who need specialty formula. >> i spy with my little eye, something brown. >> reporter: angela's ex-daughter depends on specialty formula and is tube-fed. >> so her body can't break down animal fats and proteins and the neocate jr. is a amino acid based and the only formula she has been able to tolerate and gain weight and thrive on and the fact it's not available anywhere is very scary. >> reporter: nation-wide, 43% of baby formula was out of stock for the weekend of may 8th and in these eight states, that number and more than 50% according to figures provided to

cnn from data assembly, the problem due to several factors including recall, inflation and supply chain snag. the biden administration says it's working 24/7 to help ease the shortage, including importing formula from overseas. the defense production act could be an option too, but the government doesn't know when it will get better. >> i'm not going to stand here and tell your audience that i can give you a hard time line that i can't give you, we are being candid about moving as quickly as possible and relentlessly focus ed on this. >> however, many are saying the biden administration should have acted sooner. >> this is simply joe biden's america. >> this is not a third world country, should never happen into america. >> while politicians play the blame game -- >> my daughter, actually, she was just on life support two weeks ago. she had gotten a cold and collapsed both of her lungs so we just got out of the hospital and to have her go back to the

hospital just to -- her grandmother, it was $349. normally a case of four is 168, so finding it is a necessity even if that means not paying my bills. >> not paying your bills. >> up. it's what that means. >> reporter: and kate, the ceo of one formula company told reuters he expects to see a shortage until the end of the year, meanwhile, the american academy of pediatrics recommends parents purchase no more than a two-week supply to help ease the strain on the shortage and doctors say it's never okay to add a digital to your baby's formula and parents shouldn't try to make their own.

comcast business. powering possibilities.™ tonight, pennsylvanian republican candidate warning the rise of burnett could spell doom for republicans come the election. >> she's been tested once before in the last two years when she ran for congress and lost by 20 points, the stakes could not be higher. >> and a super pac backing mccormick now attacking her really for the first time in a new ad saying voters can't trust her, this as republicans like former president donald trump are basically stunned and panicking that burnett is now in a statistical tie with trump's preferred candidate and also with dave mccormick, "outfront" now, scott jennings, former

senior adviser to mitch mcconnell and assistant to george w. bush, and national political reporter for the phila philadelphia inquirier following this closely. gentlemen, so the primary is tuesday, it is clear republicans in the common wealth where caught off guard so how nervous is this making them, though? >> well, it's making the two leading campaigns of oz and mccormick very nervous, because in a position to pass, spent 10s and 10s of millions of dollars, but nationally, it's a little less certain. the national republican party is not stepping in here to try to stop her, not picking favorites they don't know i think how strong or weak a candidate should be, as you just referred to, nobody vetted her really closely, including national figures, i listened to washington republican speak describe her as a giant question mark so now kind of watch and get it's so late they don't have much choice but to let the

process play out and see where things fall on tuesday. >> it really couldn't get later, scott, one question republicans have on bar net, basically all questions, i mean it's amazing how unvetted they have left her through this campaign, one question is how deep and real her ties are in pennsylvania, asked about that today, yesterday, by conservative radio host and here's how she responded. >> did they vet the guy from mccormick, connecticut coming in these guys have very high negatives, why would you take a high negative general in the primary and think you're going to win? >> scott, what do you think of this and this whole thing? >> well it's a total mess and i talked to a lot of republicans involved over there and really, nobody knows what's going to happen, i will tell you as an old political operative i've seen a lot of races where you

have two people considered to be front runners and the head to head in this race beating the crap out of each other for months and months and opens up a lane because people get tired of the negativity, hate what they hear about everybody and someone can surge late and it's really too late to do anything about it, you mention the republicans let it go, well what can they do? just a few days away, and so no one's really quite sure how this will turn out, and donald trump, backing dr. oz, hedging in the statements, saying she couldn't win in november but said nice things about her and reporting tonight he may be endorsing the candidate kind of piling around with so even he's hedging a bit wondering how to main tin his one loss record ratio as the pennsylvania primary approaches. total mess and not a lot of answers right now. >> yeah and his statement was a classic like, maybe if i have to later, you can count on it i guess. it was a pretty classic one.

jonathan, speebing of endorsements, scenario ted cruz came in the campaign with david mccormick today which is interesting because he's not the first trump ally to break with the former president in throwing their support behind a different candidate than trump is backing. is it clear to you yet how big a factor donald trump is with republican voters in pennsylvania for this race? >> it's not clear. it's really mixed evidence, because as you said, he's endorsed them in oz and oz has spent a lot of money yet has not been able to pull away with this thing, certainly hasn't been decisive or powerful enough to seal the deal or we wouldn't be here talking about kathy bar net. the question is, in a race that could come down to a couple of percentage points, is his endorsement worth that? is it worth one, two, three percentage points? and that's what i think we're all waiting to see but there are a lot of questions about oz, and in fact a lot of negatives built up on

him before trump came in so it was unclear how much he would be able to move the dial once a lot of people already had a negative impression of him. >> and scott, similar thing, is playing out in georgia as well. you got mike pence going to be campaigning alongside georgia governor ryan cappin in his re-election bid before the state's primary and trump essentially hates kent because he certified trump's 2020 election loss, seen that criticism over and over, trump backing other candidate, david purdue in that governor's race, what do you make of this pence versus trump dynamic there? >> well it makes a lot of sense for pence to show up here and try to take a victory lap with bryan kemp. they essentially have the same position on the 2020 election which displeased donald trump so it makes sense for trump to be in for kemp and by the way, not like it's a close race like we have in pennsylvania, running circles around purdue and a

run-off all together, when this race started out it wasn't sure how it would go to smart move by pence to get in and take a victory lap there with bryan kemp and this will be a primary where trump certainly has an egg on his face. not many but this will be one of them and if you're mike pence looking at running against possibly donald trump for president in 2024, you need to be able to show people there's a way to run as a republican in this country, not go down trump's road on the 2020 election and still maintain your conservative credentials, still maintain your ability to influence republican voters. this is a good way to do it in georgia. >> and you know mike pence knows that, of course, he knows the moves he's making and very clearly okay with making that statement and he's playing the odds pretty well on this one. good to see, scott, jonathan, thank you very much. "outfront" for us next, biden's plan to lift immigration restrictions at the border being challenged in court but could a huge surge of migrants be days

the choice for attorney general is clear. democrat rob bonta has a passion for justice and standing up for our rights. bonta is laser focused on protecting the right to vote and defending obamacare. but what's republican eric early's passion? early wants to bring trump-style investigations on election fraud to california, and early says he'll end obamacare and guard against the growing socialist communist threat. eric early. too extreme, too conservative for california.

tonight, a waiting of ruling on the fate of title 42, judge today hearing to stop the biden administration to stop the policy allowing officials to turn migrants away almost immediately, well the judge hasn't yet ruled. voter states preparing for a surge of migrants when title 42 expires in 10 days. rosa flores is "outfront.." >> reporter: arizona is divided. the border wall closest to tucson looks like the spine of a giant best resting on the rolling hills, in yuma the wall

is porous, broken, allowing migrants into the u.s., this man, for his safety, asked to be called claudio. >> reporter: in venezuela, you were earning $5 a month, can you live on $5 a month? the mayor of tucson arizona also divided, the public health order used by federal agents to expel migrants to mexico. >> he's worried about title 42 used in his case. >> reporter: title 42 is caught in a court battle, when it's set to lift later this month, the department of security predicts 1,800 migrants will attempt to cross the border everyday, some asking for asylum. >> it's definitely an impending disaster. >> reporter: yuma mayor, nichols

is a republican, his city is on the border and wants it to remain in place. >> 62 gaps in seven miles, creates a very porous border, convenient locations for people to cross. >> reporter: tucson mayor is a democrat, her city is about 65 miles from the border and she would like to get rid of title 42. >> title 42 is not an immigration tool and should not be used as a long-term approach to a broken immigration system. >> reporter: nichols says it's not about politics. >> it's not republican or democrat. >> reporter: and shows how migrants use a van to cross into yuma then turn themselves into border patrol. last december he issued disaster declaration because he said border patrol's capacity was overwhelmed. >> you would have hundreds of people waiting, sleeping here, creating makeshift camps in order to survive. >> reporter: for you, is it about politics? >> i'm the daughter of

immigrants, i am from arizona, i have seen politicians here using immigrants as red meat for their base and that is the wrong thing to do. and i'm tired of it. >> reporter: nearly 150,000 migrant encounters this fiscal year, only 11% have been expelled to mexico under title 42. of tucson's nearly 123,000 migrant encounters, 82% have been expelled. when title 42 lifts, all migrants will have to get processed. >> are you concerned about that? >> only if the department of homeland security plan presented by secretary mayorka is not put into effect. >> reporter: nichols drives us into town to declare why it was a disaster last year. >> you see families with luggage walking down the sidewalks would be in our parks looking for

resources, our fire station. >> reporter: and he says he's afraid it will happen again when title 42 ends. your message to president biden? >> president needs to come up with a policy that prohibits releases to communities less than a million people. we don't have the social infrastructure. >> reporter: so so long as the biden administration steps up and provides resources to local communities like yours, you think tucson will be okay? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: as for claudio and thousands of other migrants. he described living in venezuela as living hell. their kchances of asylum rest o the spine of america's broken immigration system. title 42 doesn't just split politicians down party lines, quite the opposite. arizona's both democratic senators as well as vulnerable democrats around the country are bucking their party and pressing the biden administration for a more complete plan on title 42. one of their biggest concerns is the impact on local communities.

new toonight, the uk hittin a dozen members of putin's inner circle with new sanctions including valieva, alleged to be p putin's former girlfriend and among the sanctions, putten's ex-wife, said to be key to his wealth. journalists reveal antiputin articles on a website because in their words it was simply impossible to ignore the suffering in ukraine. this is just weeks after then-russian state tv

journalist, mari asianakova interrupted a live broadcast holding a sign saying no war. so will more russian journalists follow suit? here's erin's conversation with marina just before she left ukraine. >> marina, the two russian journalists who published dozens of articles on the pro russian website, said what you did was amazing and brave and your acts were so important. obviously, different things you did but standing up to putin's regime, what do you think of what they did? >> translator: this two guys are very brave and i'm proud of what they have done. i have found their phone number and i am in contact with them at the moment. i'm very grateful to them that

they were brave enough to do this. i know for them, it was very, not very easy, and they -- they are under some administrative or even criminal charges for this. i hope it will end well for them. but it is very important in the circumstances of total it is important to bring alternative point of view and objective information in the situation when there are no independent media in russia. they have been shut down and there is actual information and very few people can use vpn. it's almost total blockade of information. it's very important to do what they are doing.

>> it's been three months since the start of the war here and here in ukraine you see everywhere it hasn't gone anywhere near what putin thought it would or wanted it to. how much of the truthgetting ou? are people finding out the truth at all? >> i think whoever wants to find independent information has their way to find it. people can use vpn. i have started to i vest gait the work of this propaganda machine during this wartime. journalists are writing they would gladly resign from their jobs because it's impossible to

work in these conditions that they have become hostages of this regime but they can't do it because they need to feed their families. lots of journalists are leaving media jobs especially in the state journals and rt and likes of them. i think that this process has already started. >> you're in germany now working. you went through questioning for more than 14 hours. they find you fine you about $3.

it was intimidation and fear. would you still do things exactly the same? >> yes. i have been feeling this intimidation all the time. it's constant. i feel bullied in social media. people were calling me a british spy or agent. they were trying to discredit me in all possible ways. they were saying all kind of lies about me. they were finding all sorts of information about me and posting it on the media. they're trying to spoil my reputation to make sure neither,

people from both sides don't trust me. when i started working for the german newspaper, ukrainians started protesting. they were saying you can't em employ at a newspaper a former propaganda person. i think it's better if a person admits their mistake in time and the more people like me and like these guys the better.

people like us need to be supported rather than put up ob st ob ststructions obstructions. >> thank you so much. >> two journals will be joining anderson cooper tonight. is elon musk already babing -- backing away from his deal the buy twitter?
