>> i'm not apologizing for it. >> as the stars describe the moment they found out they were nominated. good morning, america. so great to have you with us on a saturday and glad to have gio benitez back at the desk with us this morning. we begin with the war in ukraine. what some say could be a new phase in the conflict. russian forces now doubling down in eastern ukraine signaling a potential shift in their objectives. >> president biden in warsaw this morning holding a bilateral meeting with the polish president before visiting with refugees who have fled from that fighting. and the white house announcing this morning he will also attend a meeting between secretaries blinken and austin and their ukrainian counterparts. >> and before returning home biden is expected to deliver a, quote, major address. we have team coverage on the ground across the region, of course. first, let's get right over to abc's chief white house correspondent cecilia vega. she's in warsaw. cecilia, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, hey, gio.

good morning to you. it's a really busy day here, the final day of this high-stakes trip and want to show you video we're getting right now. this was a last-minute stop the president made a few minutes ago in this meeting with andrzej duda. putin could expand this war beyond ukraine. take a listen. >> the single most important criteria in this changing world is that nato stay absolutely, completely thoroughly united. >> reporter: and president biden today also planning to meet with refugees, poland taking in more than 2 million ukrainian refugees so far. he had said also that he wanted to cross over to the other side of the border, ukraine, and see this conflict for himself. the security concerns, obviously, too great for that. president biden coming

face-to-face with the humanitarian crisis as a result of the war. >> the president is expected do give what the white house is calling a major address today before he heads back to washington. >> reporter: yeah, exactly, and the significance of where he is giving this is important. it's taking place at the warsaw royal castle. this is a landmark that was blown up by the germans during world war ii. you can see it right there. the symbolism is going to be reflected in the speech. today he's going to be talking about the high stakes for europe and the urgent threat that the world is facing right now, eva. >> cecilia vega there for us in warsaw, thank you. and russian forces overnight intensifying their offensive in the southeast after military officials said the main goal of the invasion is to, quote, liberate the donbas region. abc's foreign correspondent james longman is in lviv with the latest on the fighting. good morning to you, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, eva. this looks like it could be a major shift here in ukraine. russia now says it's focusing its attention now only on the eastern donbas region, but after suffering major losses, a string

of strategic defeats and a stalled advance on kyiv, this could be russia saving face. this morning, as they suffer repeated setbacks on the battlefield, russia now pushing for a mission reset. russia's ministry of defense saying the plan all along was to focus their efforts on taking control of the donbas region in eastern ukraine, but from kyiv where ukrainians have pushed russian forces back some 40 miles to kherson where russia has now lost control to kharkiv, which moscow's ground forces have been unable to take, putin's war has stalled. russia suffering devastating losses, u.s. intelligence believes as many as 10,000 of their troops may have been killed and regular reports surface of senior officers among them. as russia shifts gears, u.s. officials say reinforcements from breakaway regions of georgia are filling in. unable to advance on the ground, russia increasingly takes out its fury from the air. irpin savagely bombarded, street after street in flames after relentless shelling. president zelenskyy now with a surprise appearance at the qatar

energy forum pressing energy-rich nations to ramp up oil and gas supplies to push russia out. one mariupol official telling us russia's announcement to focus on the donbas is a distraction. >> they want more than donbas. they want more than ukraine. it's absolutely a lie what they say. >> reporter: this video showing the scene moments after a bomb struck a movie theater in mariupol where some 1,500 people were seeking shelter. one man capturing the aftermath saying he fears many are trapped underneath the rubble. local officials now report some 300 people may have been killed in what may be one of the most devastating attacks on a civilian target. >> russia do not want to help our civilians, mariupol citizens. there is still continuous battles, street battles, tank battles, russian tanks all over the city. >> reporter: if russia's announcement is to be believed, and i think it's a big if, this might be a significant step towards de-escalation in some

parts of ukraine, but ukrainian forces are heavily armed and resourced. the east is just as much their country as kyiv and they're not backing down now. whit. >> plenty of skepticism to come with that. james longman for us, thank you. joining us from warsaw is matthew miller, special adviser for communications at the white house national security council. mtthew, good morning to you. it's good to have you. i do want to start there with what james longman was talking about, these new russian claims they are now only interested in the eastern part of ukraine and completely liberating the donbas region. does the white house actually believe this, and what could it signal for the next phase of the war? >> well, i'll say two things about that. first of all, we always wait to see what russia actually does and not take for granted what it says because from the beginning of the conflict they have never been honest about their aims. you have to remember before they even invaded ukraine for months we were warning the world about what was to come, and russia kept saying to the world, no, this was all fearmongering and did not intend to invade at all. so we're going to watch and see what they actually do.

that said, it is very clear that russia is frustrated that this war has not gone like they planned. the ukrainians have fought bravely and fought valiantly and skillfully. they've done so with the support of the united states and other allies who have flowed security assistance in. and so it is, i think, evidently true to us and to the ukrainians that the russians are frustrated and it might be possible they're changing their objectives. we'll have to wait and see over the coming weeks. >> i want to turn to president biden's major address that he is said to deliver in warsaw as he wraps up this trip. what message can we expect from the president, and will there be any specific calls to action? >> the speech tonight is really going to be an address that sets the stakes of this fight and frames the stakes of this fight, look, this is obviously principally a war between russia on one side and ukraine that it invaded on the other. ukraine with the support of the united states and other allies and partners both in europe and around the world, but it's also a broader fight than just between those two countries. it really is a fight between

democracy on one side and autocracy on the other. and one of the main points of the president's trip to europe this week was to continue to rally the free world to stand up to russian aggression and the reason he's giving this speech here in warsaw, this is a city that for decades has been at the forefront of that fight. at the forefront of the fight of overturning soviet oppression, birth of the solidarity movement in the 1980s, and so it's a place where he can come and draw a connection between the fights in the past between democracy and autocracy and the contest going forward. >> and speaking of that unity there, we know poland has taken in millions of refugees, president biden is going to meet with some refugees today. this comes after that major announcement that the u.s. will be accepting 100,000 refugees, but these people, they need help right now. is it true this process could take years? >> so what i'll say about refugees and humanitarian efforts, first of all, the united states, the president announced this week that the united states will provide an additional $1 billion in

humanitarian relief to ukrainians and others affected by this war. number two, as we've said from the beginning, we will welcome refugees. the president announced this week that we will accept an additional 100,000 refugees leading -- using all the pathways available, both refugee status, as well as humanitarian parole. we're going to focus on family reunification. that said, we do believe that most of these refugees don't want to leave the immediate area. these are people who hope to go back to their country and hope ukraine wins this war and they can return home but for those who can't we do want to offer a pathway forward and work with our european allies and partners in doing that. >> matthew miller, thanks for your time this morning. we do appreciate it. gio. the united states is calling for tougher sanctions on north korea at a special u.n. security council meeting. the push to strengthen sanctions comes after north korea confirmed that it has test-fired its biggest intercontinental ballistic missile to date. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations called the launch part of a, quote, increasingly

set of provocations by the country. now to another story we're following here at home. new questions surrounding the death of a 14-year-old boy on an amusement park ride. that ride at orlando's icon park now closed as officials investigate. abc's will carr has more. >> reporter: this morning, new details after that horrific theme park ride accident. in video taken before the ride at icon park in orlando begins you can see riders asking if there are clip-in seat belts. authorities say 14-year-old tyre sampson fell from the ride just before it ended caught on camera, the video too graphic to show. >> he was here with a family, a friend's family from the state of missouri, so, you know, again, we can't imagine what they're going through. >> reporter: after the fall you can hear a worker asking others if they checked the ride. >> did you check it? you guys are sure you checked it? >> reporter: the 430-foot-tall ride recently opened and drops

75 miles an hour before plummeting, riders tilting forward. >> our hearts are broken for that family of the young man and, again, we're going to do everything we can to work with the investigative authorities to get to the matter of this. >> reporter: in a 911 call, the horrifying details. >> the ride was going and during the middle of the ride, the guy just came off. >> reporter: tyre's football coach paying tribute to the teenager. >> he was a great kid. he was a student of the game. he was very humble, very respectful. >> reporter: the ride has over the shoulder restraints that are supposed to be locked in before the ride can start. it's up to them to find out what went wrong. now to washington, justice clarence thomas released from the hospital as text messages between his wife ginni thomas and former white house chief of staff mark meadows draw questions from critics over possible conflicts of interest. maryalice parks joins us this morning with more. good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: eva, good morning.

justice thomas was in the hospital for a week, his team saying little, only that it was to treat an infection, but these huge headlines breaking the night before he was discharged. critics are now calling for justice thomas to be impeached or resign. the january 6th congressional committee obtaining dozens of text messages from his wife ginni thomas that seemed to show her personally pressuring mark meadows, then the white house chief of staff, urging him to find ways to overturn the 2020 election and keep president trump in office. in one text she apparently writes, make a plan, release the kraken, save us from the left taking america down. now, remember, at the time president trump was promising to get his election challenges in front of the supreme court and several democratic senators are saying at a minimum now thomas should recuse himself from all cases related to january 6th going forward saying that even the appearance of a conflict can undermine confidence in the court. now, so far thomas has not done that. in fact, he was the only dissenter on a recent case when trump was trying to block the release of white house documents that could have included

messages from his wife. now, there is no rule that would require thomas to recuse himself and the january 6th committee is expected this week to discuss on whether to ask ginni thomas to come in and testify voluntarily or whether to even consider subpoenaing her. gio. >> maryalice parks in washington. maryalice, thank you. investigators are looking into what caused a helicopter to spiral out of the sky and burst into flames just outside of dallas. take a look at this. chilling video shows the chopper just spinning as it falls. two people were killed including the pilot. the helicopter came crashing down in a field near a highway surrounded by businesses. no one on the ground was injured. now to the state of utah enacting an anti-trans sports ban after lawmakers voted to override the governor's veto. abc's ike ejiochi is here with more on that. ike, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. gop lawmakers in utah yesterday pushed through new legislation that bans transgender athletes from playing on girls teams

overriding a veto from the governor. utah now joins 11 other states that have some sort of ban on transgender kids in school sports. governor spencer cox's veto letter is drawing national attention. in it a poignant argument that such laws target vulnerable kids who already have high rates of suicide, and now business leaders are speaking out saying the ban could have a multimillion-dollar economic impact on utah including the possibility of losing next year's nba all-star game. the utah jazz who dwyane wade, a father of a transgender child, and who has a minority stake in called the ban discriminatory legislation. again, utah is now the 12th state to advance restrictions on transgender athletes. that law is slated to go into effect in july, however, it's likely to be challenged in the court, gio. >> all right. ike, thank you so much for bringing us that. now let's switch gears here and talk a little bit about the weather. rob marciano is here. i thought spring was supposed to start last week. what's going on? >> you know, i haven't seen you

guys since winter was around, so i'm kind of stuck in winter. good morning, guys. good to see you. come on back to this. gio asked for it. a guy from miami loves the snow, go to caribou, maine, got 5 inches of it yesterday but basically whiteout conditions there. so the east, especially the northeast will be in through some cold air. wind across parts of wisconsin yesterday and ice shoves there just east of lake winnebago, so basically frozen lakes, then the wind and a storm surge and banged up against some houses and cabins. record heat in the southwest. you want the warmth, you go there. spring cold blast, multiple rounds coming in and the pattern will stick, 1 degree tomorrow morning is what it will feel like in green bay. not too shabby in detroit and 8 and settles into the northeast. come monday temperatures will feel more like february. that's a check o lisa: good saturday morning, here is look for mount tam. we have some fog, clouds and increased today. easy at the coast.
