himself on a course where the people who will stop him are the people of ukraine. we want to help them with additional elements, with food and supplies. that is getting through, at this stage. but the people of the world have also come together and insisted that their governments continue to increase the sanctions on russia. and that will continue. >> are you concerned about a scenario where this could escalate to a nuclear attack? >> well, people are always concerned, and i'm among them, for what kinds of things vladimir putin might do. whether he might use tactical nuclear weapons at some point, if he were in a corner with his conventional weaponry. i think it's extremely unlikely that he would move in that direction in the current conflict. but i think we always have to recognize that vladimir putin has well over 1,000 nuclear weapons aimed at the united states of america. and so, to consider him somehow a friend or someone we can do business with, ignores the fact that he is a-- an enemy. >> and what about vladimir

putin's mental state? he looks increasingly isolated. what do you know? >> i don't think that anybody can really assess what's going on in the mind of vladimir putin right now. the huge table, with him sitting at one end, is like "dr. strangelove." he is not listening, apparently, to people who have contrary points of view. i don't know that that's something which suggests a mental imbalance, or whether it's just a recognition that this is a dictator, that he's intent on conquest. >> ukrainians have been pleading for a no-fly zone. is that something you would support? >> i would love there to be a humanitarian corridor-- a no-fly zone, if you will-- that could be negotiated, that would allow women and children from ukraine to be able to escape, if they want to do so. it would hopefully be something done by the united nations or by nato or even by us, but we don't want to find ourselves in a position where we're in direct conflict with-- with russians. the consequences of that could be too severe. >> and that was my conversation

today with republican senator mitt romney. we want to turn now to the crackdown on the richest russians-- the power brokers who now run what were once state-owned industries in the soviet union. with sanctions closing in, cbs' catherine herridge tells us how the oligarchs are trying to shield their assets. >> reportehelthiest russian money, including vladimir putin's, has pushed out to sea. data from marine traffic shows oligarch yachts on the move, including aluminum magnet oleg deripaska's $65 million "clio," and oil executive vagit alekperov's $80 million "galactica super nova." >> no self-respecting oligarch exists without a super yacht. what we're seeing now is high- tailing it on the high seas. >> reporter: the biden administration created a task force to go after the oligarchs' yachts, their luxury apartments, their money, and their ability to send their kids to fancy college in the west. financier and anti-corruption

advocate bill browder says the goal is to get oligarchs to pressure putin to stop the war. >> we-- we're not ready to engage in military warfare, and so there's an expression, "we should fight them in the banks, if we can't fight them with tanks." >> reporter: and cracks are appearing. oligarch mikhail fridman founded one of russia's largest private banks. >> so i do not believe war would be a solution. >> reporter: and in this london newspaper, one oligarch's son, evgeny lebedev, pleaded with the russian president to "save the world from annihilation." the financial pressure is really about undermining support for vladimir putin. >> absolutely. among rank-and-file russians, as well as the oligarchs who help control the economy. >> reporter: even before russia invaded ukraine, this $100 million yacht, believed to be putin's, left a german port for safer russian waters. >> he's a former kgb agent, and he has worked his entire

career to appear, on the surface, to be the common man, when below the surface, it's apparent that he has significant wealth stored. >> reporter: former government officials and outside experts tell cbs news that cutting off putin's energy revenue is key, but this is an area where both the u.s. and our allies are vulnerable. further disruption of the energy supply could send prices even higher, norah. >> just fascinating. catherine herridge, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the cbs "overnight news." when i get a migraine, i shut out the world.

the images of women and children fleeing violence in ukraine has gripped the hearts of the world, and in this country, prompted charities into action. here's cbs' jonathan vigliotti. >> reporter: we've seen families fleeing war-torn ukraine with only a suitcase, if they're lucky, saying good-bye to the only home they've ever known. we've also been inspired by the outpouring of support that has greeted these refugees. today, volunteers packed boxes with food and sanitary kits at this warehouse in miami. the supplies will be flown to poland and handed to refugees as soon as they cross the border. michael capponi is the founder of "global empowerment mission," which has helped deliver aid to earthquake-rocked haiti and hurricane-hit florida. his plan includes shipping

this is cbs news flash. i'm tom hanson in new york. the ukrainian army is reporting intense fighting in kharkiv as russian airborne troops land. russian rockets also targeted a tv tower and holocaust memorial as the conflict enters day seven. in his first state of the union address, joe biden pledged that u.s. force also not engage in a conflict in ukraine. however, he did say the u.s. will investigate russian oligarchs. he also announced new punishments towards russia. >> we will join our allies in closing off american air space to all russian flights, further isolating russia and adding additional squeeze on their economy. >> the u.n. warns the conflict

could lead to the largest refugee crisis in europe this century. i'm tom hanson, cbs news, new york. ♪ ♪ this is the cbs "overnight news." i'm norah o'donnell in washington. joe biden went before the nation last night to deliver his first state of the union address. despite inflation, covid and historic supreme court nominee awaiting confirmation hearings, the address began with the global response to russia's invasion of ukraine. here is some of what the president had to say. >> six days ago, russia's vladamir putin sought to shake the very foundations of the free world, thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. but he badly miscalculated. he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would roll

over. instead, he met with a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined. he met ukrainian people. [ applause ] putin's latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked. he rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the west and nato wouldn't respond. he thought he could divide us at home in this chamber and this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe, as well. but putin was wrong. we are ready. we are united, and that's what we did. we stayed united. together, along with our allies, we are enforcing powerful economic sanctions. we're cutting off russia's largest banks of international financial system. preventing russia's central bank from defending the russian ruble.

making putin's $630 billion war fund worthless. we're choking russia's access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come. tonight, i say to the russian oligarchs and the corrupt leaders who built billions of dollars off this violent regime, no more. the united states -- i mean it. [ applause ] we meet tonight in an america that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced. the pandemic has been punishing, and so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more. that's one of the first things i did as president was fight to pass the american rescue plan, because people were hurting. we needed to act and we did. it worked.

we created jobs, lots of jobs. in fact, our economy created over 6.5 million jobs just last year. more jobs in one year than ever before in the history of the united states of america. the economy grew at a rate of 5.7, the strongest growth rate in 40 years. the first step in bringing fundamental change to our economy that hasn't work for working people in our nation for too long. with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth, higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with their bills. inflation is robbing them of gains they thought otherwise they would be able to feel. i get it. that's why my top priority is getting prices under control. first, cut the cost of prescription drugs. we pay more for the same drug

produced by the same company than any other country in the world. the third thing we can do to change the standard of living for hardworking folks is cut the cost of child care. cut the cost of child care. folks, if you live in a major city in america, you pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child. and parents, including millions of women who left the workforce during the pandemic, because they couldn't afford child care to be able to get back to work. generating economic growth. my plan doesn't stop there. it includes home and long-term care. more affordable housing. pre-k for 3 and 4-year-olds. all these will lower cost to families. under my plan, nobody, let me say this again, nobody earning

less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in new taxes. not a single penny. let's pass the paycheck fairness act and paid leave. raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. and extend the child tax credit so no one has to raise a family in poverty. >> let's turn now to ukraine. where on day six, russians targeted civilians in two of the country's biggest cities. in a sign of how dire the situation is, president zelenskyy told the european parliament that his country is fighting for survival. cbs' chris livesay is in the city of lviv in western ukraine. good evening, chris. >> reporter: good evening, norah. tonight, a u.s. official confirms to cbs news that the u.s. will directly provide stinger anti-aircraft missiles to the ukrainian military. this as the russian military rains down missiles of its own on ukrainian cities.

a quiet city street turned into fire and rubble. the ukrainian interior ministry says at least 10 people were killed and dozens injured in ukraine's second largest city of kharkiv. this as fears grow that russian forces are increasingly putting populated areas in their crosshairs. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy called today's missile attack a war crime, and claimed it wasn't a legitimate target. russian air power attacked the airwaves, knocking out tv stations in kyiv, and killing five people, ukrainian emergency services said. all while ground forces tried to encircle kyiv with this noose, a convoy stretching 40 miles long, north of the capital. but a u.s. official tells cbs news that it's barely moved in the past 24 hours due to fuel and supply shortages. those trying to flee go by any

route necessary, including this makeshift bridge. but fighting continues, and two cities in the south are reportedly surrounded, including mariupol, where mothers and their newborns have been forced to take shelter in a hospital basement. russian video shows an attack helicopter flying low over ukrainian fields, before russian soldiers dismount in what was claimed to be a special operation. but a u.s. official tells cbs news that the invasion is not proceeding as quickly as putin hoped, as ukrainian forces like these, and even civilians like these blocking a russian tank, have shown impressive resolve despite the odds. nevertheless, a u.s. official confirms to cbs news that the attack is bound to encircle russia within a week, and russia could take the entire city within 30 days after that.

worried about how people are getting by any more. >> you rack your brain for an explanation where two years in you're at a financial low point. what do you come up with? >> definitely no assistance for a time when this country needs help. >> reporter: more than 72 million americans say they are struggling to pay expenses. a number that's grown by about 2 million people a month since last august. and it's not hard to understand why. with inflation at a fresh 40-year high, the average american family is paying an extra $250 every month just to live like they used to. >> pretty much everything is going up, but not our pay. so, you know, it's very difficult to not be mad. >> reporter: the family had been getting by thanks to the government's stimulus checks and extended unemployment benefits. when we spoke to them a year into the pandemic, claudia in

particular felt seen and supported. >> i don't feel as skeptical as i did last year. last year i just felt like wow, we're just going to be on an island, you know? this year i feel like i think the government is hearing us and trying to get somewhere. >> reporter: but now, those benefits are gone. and like so many other middle class families, they have had to cut back. >> don't go out any more. we drive as least as possible because gas prices are insane. oil prices for the house, not double but pretty close. now we're very, very, very frugal. >> what about food? >> we told our son, no more snacks. only the essentials now, you know? >> reporter: odd jobs, like delivery driver and garage attendant have helped, but only son. >> $17.50 an hour is not going to pay anything. it's only going to help if you have another job on top of that. >> reporter: even with occasional freelance audio work that pays much, much better, the

family is falling behind. >> definitely credit card payments are just not going to happen right now. >> not even the minimum? >> no. i'm prioritizing for car payments, mortgage payments, oil payments, gasoline to get to these jobs. >> reporter: he's still hopeful his old job will bounce back eventually. but until it does, they are in a state of economic and emotional distress. >> makes me angry. it makes me feel defeated. and it's hard to watch my husband go through it, because he is very, very intelligent person, a very capable person. he's a hard worker. and it's just unfair to have everything just sort of taken away. >> when we first spoke to you, you thought maybe this would be over in three months, maybe six.

nine months was something that was being floated. did you ever in a million years think we would be here two years late sners ? >> no, we were hesitant to do this, because we were like, do people want to keep hearing how terrible everyone is doing? it felt like kicking a horse when it's down. but yeah, it's important. maybe people don't realize it's still happening, feeling like everything is hunky doery now and it's not. >> that was tony dokoupil reporting. the cbs " new vicks vapostick. strong soothing vapors... help comfort your loved ones. for chest, neck, and back. it goes on clear. no mess just soothing comfort. try new vicks vapostick. introducing the all-new gillettelabs with exfoliating bar. it combines shaving and gentle exfoliation into one efficient stroke, for a shave as quick and easy as washing your face.
