a lot to cover. we do want to get to the news starting 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 the fighting. and he also attended a meeting between secretaries blinken and austin and their ukrainian counterparts. before returning home, biden is expected to deliver a, quote, major address. let's get right over to abc's chief white house correspondent cecilia vega in warsaw. cecilia, good morning again. >> reporter: hi, gio. good morning again. the final day of this high stakes trip here, the president is here. you're right about the big speech he will deliver later this afternoon. let me tell you where it will take place, it's going to happen at the warsaw royal castle. this was a landmark blown up by the germans in world war ii, the symbolism will be reflected in the remarks the president gives

talking about the high stakes for europe, this urgent threat the world is facing right now and this is what national security council adviser matthew miller told whit this morning. take a listen. >> 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. >> reporter: and this is a really busy final morning here in poland for the president. you can see there the president in a meeting with secretary of state antony blinken, defense secretary lloyd austin, their ukrainian counterparts and now also in a meeting with poland's leader, andrzej duda. the president telling -- saying on the trip here the allies staying united is what ultimately will defeat vladimir putin and will meet with refugees and that's important, something he's really wanted to do. poland taking in more than 2 million refugees in this crisis, whit. this is the president really getting to see this humanitarian need here up close. >> yeah, up close and personal. cecilia vega for us, thank you so much. 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. this raises questions about a potential shift in the war. abc's foreign correspondent james longman is in lviv with the very latest on the fighting. james, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit. it does seem like russia is changing tactics here as they suffer repeated setbacks on the battlefield, moscow is now pushing for a mission reset. russia's ministry of defense said the plan all along was to focus their efforts on the donbas region in eastern ukraine but all across this country from kyiv where ukrainians have pushed back russian forces 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 has suffered 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. unable to advance on the ground, russia has increasingly taken out its fury from the air, irpin

has been savagely bombarded. take a look at this drone video published by local media that shows street after street in flames after shelling and in mariupol, the human toll is emerging, footage from inside the bombed theater shows the reality for so many people across the country. aerial bombardment from which there is little escape, eva. >> james longman for us inside ukraine. james, thank you. now to an important new study which found that half of women getting 3d mammograms will experience a false positive over a decade of annual screening as compared to 56% of women who are screened with 2d digital mammograms. a false positive is when a mammogram is flagged as abnormal but there is no cancer. the researchers also found that women with dense breasts, younger women and those who screened more frequently had a higher chance of a false positive. now, remember, the high rate of false positives with mammograms is nothing new, however, what this study found is that 3d mammograms are more accurate than their digital counterparts

and can ultimately save some women the worry and complications of false positives. well, coming up, the road to the oscars hits the homestretch. we are with the award winning set designer for a sneak peek of how he plans to vow viewers sunday night. and we don't talk about bruno, but everyone is talking about sebastian yatra, the singer telling us all about "encanto" and his upcoming oscar performance. rolling out the red carpet for "deals & steals," starstruck savings on skin care, everything you need to get that hollywood glow and speaking of red carpet glam, janai already in l.a. at the home of the oscars. good morning again. >> reporter: good morning, yeah, the countdown is on, and the anticipation is real for queen bey's performance. we'll have more on that and all things oscars. we'll be right back. ♪

but at this point there might be more questions than answers, so will we get a red carpet moment from beyonce? will she be introduced by venus and serena? will she be singing to a crowd of young tennis hopefuls? if i head to said tennis court today, could i possibly catch a sneak peek of beyonce rehearsing? who knows? the possibilities are endless, though, so this, of course, is not beyonce's first oscar performance. she took the stage back in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and, of course, she brought the house down as queen bey does. but as we wait for all of that tomorrow night, we'll turn to what we do know, which is quite a bit. in our "gma" cover story we're getting a sneak peek behind the scenes at the oscar set. i went one-on-one with the set director who told me all about his inspiration for the design. check it out. front and center with the man designing the backdrop of hollywood's biggest night, emmy winning production designer

david korins. not only is it back at the dolby but bigger audience, live audience. how did you incorporate that into designing? >> i felt like it was important as we kind of have this revelatory return to the dolby to put community and togetherness center stages so we've literally decked over the audience and put the stage in the middle of the room, so when you win or present or perform, you're going to be standing inside of a crowd of your peers. >> reporter: korins designed the oscar set in 2019 but said he is upping the ante this year revealing each hour will have a different color palette and statement scenery pieces including swarovski crystals being the visionary behind hit productions like "hamilton," "beetlejuice" and "mrs. doubtfire," korins says he is bringing broadway stage design to hollywood. >> early on i did a lot of research about kind of optical illusions and combining those

things with old hollywood glamour. >> wait a second. >> i know those two -- those two things don't necessarily go together but the idea was, okay, whenever you're doing the academy awards, you have to deliver elegance and high drama. because of that we're forced to innovate whole new ways to shoot the show, so you're going to have cameras tracking around people involved in the show, we're going to have performances literally immersed inside of the crowd. >> reporter: and only telling "gma" about changes to the oscar statuette we'll see on stage come sunday. >> i didn't really want to put the iconic oscar on stage. i wanted to see if we could have some fun and kind of make an evolution of it. so we have two new versions of it. >> you haven't talked to anyone about this. this is top "gma" secret. >> this is top "gma" secret. all right, here it is. everyone knows that's the academy award, so we've maintained that silhouette, that elegant silhouette, but i tried to make something that felt like a sculpture, so it's almost like a beautiful silk ribbon wrapped around the sculpture and then

you get rid of the sculpture and i'm hoping people go, you know what, we've been through hard times, but the future looks incredible, let's go there. i think the show is going to be epic. >> reporter: you guys, i have to tell you, it is so cool talking with these artistic minds when it comes to design. talking with david, it was similar with talking with this woman claire on the disney cruise ship about how they use textures and different things to paint the picture for the audience, and the way they describe it is so beautiful, so much to look forward to, you guys. >> oh, we know you're going to be looking forward to that. looking like an oscar out there, thank you, janai. and now a musical detour on the road to the oscars. sebastian yatra, the voice behind "encanto's" oscar nominated song "dos oruguitas" is a busy guy making music getting ready for a world tour and performing live at the oscars tomorrow night, but he took some time to chat with us here at "gma." take a look.

other people. >> i think so many of us latinos in this country are going to have tissues in our hands watching that because this is going to be a spanish song right there at the oscars. do you even know what it's going to feel like for you? >> i have no idea. i have no idea about anything. at this point i'm just nervous, i'm excited. i am thankful. >> reporter: but everything only seems to get better for sebastian these days. ♪ just this week releasing an english version of his hit song "tacones rojos" with john legend. sales of his latest album soaring. it's called "dharma." his message, stay present. >> it's beautiful to just accept life as it is and it helps you like stay really present here, value everything and "dharma" just means so much to me. i have a tattoo. it's the name of my album. >> what message do you have right now, sebastian, for your

fellow colombians and your fellow latinos around the world? >> i just want to say i'm super proud as a culture, i'm super proud to be in this position at this particular moment. i hope that you guys like what i do on the oscar stage. send me the best energy. >> oh, we will. he is so present. he is so grounded, and i'm so excited to see how he performs there on stage, and while you can expect that performance from sebastian tomorrow night, that's not the only "encanto" song getting some oscar love. "we don't talk about bruno." yes, it did not get a nod, but there will be a performance from the cast sunday night and we can't wait to talk about bruno. >> absolutely. many surprised it didn't get the nod though but looking foward to the performance for sure. thank you, gio. over to rob marciano, a check of the weather one more time. good morning. >> yes, sebastian is a cool dude. very grounded as you mentioned, likable. got to meet him. speaking of grounded, this moose.

we've seen j. lo wear it, jada pinkett smith, carey mulligan but it's a new style that people find that is easy and strangely comfortable. >> strangely comfortable. you are completely right because you can hide in those big poofy dresses. okay, so up next you expect to see some more structure in the form of corsets, bustiers? >> yeah, i think early madonna. you know, really seeing sort of your underwear and corset and all that built-in structure on the outside, and i think who did it so well is kristen stewart who, of course, is nominated for this year for "spencer," but you've seen gaga, carrie washington, i mean it's just a really flattering silhouette in a way that you can do it and still get a lot of design into your gown. >> okay, so, joe, we have to talk color because we love a pop of color, but there is a particular color that you think that we could be seeing, and it's called "legally blonde" pink, my favorite shade of pink.

>> yes, barbie pink, "legally blonde" pink, elle wood pink. i think we all know the shade so well and what i love about this color is back in january in paris valentino, which is a designer that a lot of stars wear on the carpet, did an entire couture show in nothing but this color, and, of course, we've seen such "it" girls like zendaya wear it, and she's done it beautifully and one of my favorites from this season, ariana debose and can we not forget about the guys. look at jeremy strong from "succession." he's looking great in this color as well. the reality is everything can wear it and it stands out. can you wear pink on red? yeah, i say yes. >> i say yes too, and, joe, you just mentioned zendaya. zendaya always just nails it on the red carpet, so there is so much to look forward to. >> 100%. >> thank you so much, joe, for joining us, and before the big

show, of course, you can catch joe zee on the red carpet for "on the red carpet live: countdown to the oscars" again from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. right here on abc. guys, back to you. >> all right, janai, thank you so much. let's check in with rob once again who used to spend time on the red carpet. >> yes. >> what, you got a tuxedo? >> i do. as a matter of fact, whit, i know you're not a big tux guy so our producers got a whole wardrobe. we got you this, it's beautiful. eva, you'll have to help him tie that because that's not a clip-on. >> an actual bow tie. >> it's going right in the attic. >> a challenge for simone and adam. they both came through. >> we expect to see you out there looking good. >> you bet. >> that would be a penguin suit. this would be goats. making that transition in california. actually these goats get out there, and they nibble away at some of the grass to help reduce the risk for when fire

season come, and they're great advocates for getting rid of invasive species in parts of the southeast as well. all right, let's talk about the oscars forecast. this time of year where it can be dicey. i think it's going to be good. maybe a little bit breezy. temperatures in the mid to upper 60s so a little extra hair sprag oh, yes, putting on the tux. oh, yes, putting on the tux. >> when is the last time you wore a tux? >> i mean, at least seven years, ten years. this all started because i told them i despise tuxedos and don't like wearing them, so now they're forcing me to wear one on national television. here we go. >> not just forcing you, they made special provisions of this. we have a picture of our producer ella. she actually ran out this

morning from wardrobe. >> that's amazing. >> the moment you said that, she ran out. >> you got me to wear it. you win. thank you, guys. coming up here, chef george durant is here with a few last-minute suggestions for what to serve at your oscars viewing party. still ahead. ♪ ♪ e advanced non-small cell lung cancer, your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. together, opdivo plus yervoy helps your immune system launch a response that fights cancer in two different ways. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more time together. more family time. more time to remember. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness;
