but amid the fear and exhaustion, we also found acts of kindness. volunteers with warm food and drinks, boxes and boxes of supplies. but after walking for days and miles, what people really want is just a place to sit down and get warm. when refugees are ready to move on, there's a bus to a more permanent relief center, a former high-end shopping mall converted into a shelter now housing hundreds. here they can finally charge their phones and wait for the call that everyone is hoping for, the call that the war is over and they can go home, before home is gone forever. >> and tony dokoupil joins us now from poland. tony, what are you hearing from the refugees? what do they do next? >> reporter: well, norah, despite the pleas you heard there at the end of that report, the fear is that for these refugees the war is going to deepen to accelerate, if anything, and they're going to have to stay here in poland for a very long time.

that deepening of the war is why so many people are coming over the border now in week two of the war and, also, why, in addition to women and children rushing here, we also saw some men going back over the border to join the fight, inspired by many of the stories you just heard tonight, norah. >> tony dokoupil, thank you. russia's president vladimir putin has repeatedly denied his forces are targeting civilians, but on sunday the world saw the truth for itself, with this horrifying picture of a family lying dead after trying to flee a city just outside the capitol of kyiv. linsey addario spent her career documenting war zones and this is the moment before she took that picture for the "new york times." we spoke with the pulitzer prize-winning photographer earlier. >> i went forward and found a place sort of behind a wall and started photographing, and, in

fact, within minutes, a series of mortars fell increasingly closer and closer to our position, until one landed about 30 feet from where i was standing. and it killed a mother and her two children. >> your photo of that family is on the front page of the "new york times." it has been seen around the world. it is proof of civilians being targeted. what did you make of when you saw this family up close? >> i mean, i'm a mother, and, you know, i -- when i'm working, i try to stay very focused, i try to keep the camera to my eyes. of course, it was very emotional. i had been sprayed with gravel from a mortar round that could have killed us very easily, so i was shaken up, when we were told that we could run across the street by our security advisor,

i ran and saw this family splayed out and i saw these little moon boots and puffy coat, and i just thought of my own children, of course, and i thought, you know, it's disrespectful to take a photo, but i have to take a photo, this is a war crime. >> it was clear that this was an area full of civilians. >> there was no question at all. i mean, this is a place that was well documented. there is russian military on the other side, everyone knew this place was for civilians. >> and how are you doing, linsey? >> i mean, you can ask me that in a few months. right now, i'm just trying to stay very focused and work and i think it's really important people around the world see these images and it's really brave of the "new york times" to put that image on the front page. it's a difficult image but it's an historically important image. >> and why do you say it's historically important? >> because it's a war crime and it's happening and it's very

hard to be in that situation where you witness something and you document it, and i knew the back story because i was there. >> our important conversation with linsey addario and her social media has more of her incredible pictures that show the devastation and the human toll in ukraine.

expected to top 5 million. there's also breaking news out of kyiv tonight where, for the first time since the conflict began, ukraine's president zelensky released this new video of himself in his office in the capitol saying he is not afraid of anyone and will not leave. we have a team of reporters covering the story starting with cbs' charlie d'agata in kyiv. good evening, charlie. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. the u.n. estimates tonight there have been at least 1,200 civilian casualties since the war began. that number is thought to be higher and also climbing. the shelling increases across the country. a russian jet goes down in flames over the besieged city of kharkiv as ukrainian residents cheer. ukrainian troops on the outskirts of the capital open fire in an effort to keep the russian advance at bay, but cities are under siege, like mariupol, where citizens have been unable to flee after two cease-fires were shattered.

a man rushes into the emergency room carrying his 18-month-old son but doctors are unable to save him. his mother kisses her baby boy goodbye. a savage attack on residents trying to flee urpin outside the capitol was captured by the "new york times." a mother and her children lie dead. deliberately targeting civilians or firing into them with a total disregard for human life. the incident enraged ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. we will not forgive, he said. we will not forget. today, at least 2,000 people made it across to relative safety. we headed to the area this morning when we passed through a neighboring village, which had become the target of heavy russian bombardment. these are the areas that are

coming under attack outside the capitol itself now, which caused so many people to flee in anger and fear even as they're coming under attack. this is what indiscriminate shelling looks and feels like. and wherever they land, they land and if that kills civilians, it kills civilians. this is what residents here have had to live with. >> let's get out of here. >> reporter: we reach a children's holiday camp, now a local bomb shelter. inside we found this shaking camp deputy turned caretaker tatiana. >> the last from the evening to the night, it was very terrible. and every second we checked if we're alive or not because everything was very moving, very totally destroyed. >> reporter: are you going to be okay? you look very frightened. >> the first time i have cried.

this is the cbs "overnight news." i'm jan crawford in washington. thanks for staying with us. russian forces continue to rain down terror on ukrainian cities from mariupol in the south to kyiv in the north, with innocent civilians trapped in the cross fire. after a third round of peace talks, moscow declared another cease-fire and agreed so open so-called humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to escape. but nearly all these corridors lead to russia or its ally belarus. and ukrainians, for the most p part, have no intention to go there. the majority have headed west to

the borders of poland and romania. so far more than 1.7 million refugees have left the country. tony dokoupil is there. >> reporter: the attacks on residential neighborhoods is why so many people are now refugees heading for the borders. here in poland, officials say around a million ukrainian refugees have already arrived in this country since russia invaded on february 24th. that is more arrivals than any of ukraine's neighbors. and we're looking at a wave of refugees, hundreds of thousands more are expected to arrive soon. are arriving in fact right now after making their way tout of cities and the war zone. many of them will cross the border again here. this is pictures from yesterday. we met dozens of families, some so overcome, when we asked them what they had seen, what they were fleeing, they couldn't talk about it. but some would, and this is their story.

we heard about a new exodus arriving from ukraine. but nothing prepared us for the sight of so many people walking out of their homeland. the mothers and grandmothers, the children so many in their mother's arms. in strollers, holding hands. some no taller than their family's luggage. and then there were those we saw waiting for their families to arrive. like this woman in red we saw standing alone desperate for an end to the violence. >> i love russian people, i love american people. i love every people in the world. please stop. >> reporter: further up the path, a little boy in a dinosaur hat nuzzled into his mother's neck, exhausted after rushing overnight by bus to the border. the day before, his mother said, three of her friends were shot in the fighting. and that's not all.

hangings, rape, killing. >> yes. >> reporter: another friend was hung, she claims, by the russians. another she told us was raped. she traveled with almost nothing, but in a box of donations nearby, she found her son a new toy. a little yellow school bus. and it made us wonder what does a kid bring on a trip like this one? barbie dolls turn out to be one answer. maybe a bag of stuffed animals or just a single favorite, like a penguin, who we met riding high on her father's shoulders. welcome to poland. what about those fathers and sons and brothers? they can't go any further. all the men age 18 to 60 in ukraine are required to stay and fight. those allowed to leave are left worrying about those who can't, or in some cases, won't. we found katia and her children in a quiet area warming them several which is a fire. she's worried about her brother,

who was fighting, and her parents who are older and insisted on staying. but amid the fear and exhaustion, we found signs of kindness. volunteers with warm food and drinks. boxes and boxes of supplies. but after walking for days and miles, what people really want is just a place to sit down and get warm. when refugees are ready to move on, there's a bus to a more permanent relief center, a former high-end shopping mall converted into a shelter, now housing hundreds. here, they can charge their phones and wait for the call that everyone is waiting for. the call that the war is over, that tmey ca gfore and that shelter there not far from where we are standing is also a decision point, as the refugees who made it across the border have a chance to decide where they will go in europe. now i want to bring in christina rafini who has been doing terrific work here on the border

for more than a week. tell us about what you have seep and what we're looking at now is different. >> none of this was here when we got here. we got here the day after the russian bombardment. there was one older woman, a polish woman giving out tea out of her own pocket. there was no support system and a flood of people coming over the border. lots of women and children on their own, walking for miles. it is freezing out here, i don't have to tell you that. i just have to think about how these kids have been out here in the cold. but the next day, people were putting up temperatures, giving out cell phones and meals. and the response we have seen from the polish people and people all over europe. we had a bus station where people had driven overnight from germany holding up signs with different destinations offering housing, offering jobs. one man said it was some of the worst days of his family's life getting out of ukraine. but when they got here, almost all their problems were over, because almost everything they needed was given to them upon arrival. it does come in waves.

people are looking more and more exhausted. but for the first time, we're starting to see real fear, because so many people here in poland didn't believe it could get to this. >> tony dokoupil and christina rafini on the ukraine/poland border. the war in ukraine is being fought on the ground and also in cyberspace. david pogue is keeping track. >> reporter: this past week, about 20 countries, including the u.s., have sent weapons to ukraine. but in this war, the ukrainians were already well equipped with one particular kind of weapon, social media. ukraine is a tech savvy nation. its citizens have turned every cell phone into a news source. and every social media app into a strategic tool of war. many of the videos depict ukrainian heroism and defiance. and help to build support and empathy around the world. in this one, a ukrainian woman tells a russian soldier, take these seeds and put them in your

pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all die here. other videos offer resistance strategies to fellow ukrainians. like how to make molotov cocktails. and some posts are intended to humiliate and demoralize the russian military. in this video, a ukrainian man mocks russian tank drivers who have run out of gas. >> bombs are falling on our heads. we want to make sure that with the recent developments, the situation is so tense. >> reporter: two weeks ago, this woman was a professor and member of the ukrainian parliament. now she's a member of the social media resistance. >> i'm sitting here in a room with -- over here, say hello. >> hello. >> they're online right now? >> yes,kconstantly.

we're online 20 hours a day. >> was this an idea the president suggested or the media suggested or just everybody spread the idea of person-to-person? >> it's something that mputin doesn't understand. there is no single part of decision making process, because it is so decentralized, it is functioning, because there are no bottlenecks, as you would end up if you -- in a centralized system. >> when you sit down to tweet, for example, two are you thinking is the audience? platforms for different purposes. when i'm posting on facebook, that is typically for a ukrainian office. a tweet, i'm using twitter as a way to reach out to the international audience, mainly. and then there is also instagram, which is not as political. it is more for like human side

of the story. >> they're blocking facebook. >> oh, the kremlin just announced they're blocking facebook in russia. >> i suggest they block vladamir putin. >> reporter: that probably won't happen. our sources in russia tell us that the russian internet regulator has not only shut down facebook, but has also crippled twitter by making it impossible to see photos and videos. and a new russian law threatens up to 15 years of prison for any journalist whose reporting contradicts the official narrative. the kremlin wants to make its own official channels the only news sources available to russian citizens. now, the old saying goes that the first casualty of war is the truth. and this war is no exception. misinformation is flying thick and fast. for example, this video does not show the ghost of kyiv, a ukrainian flying ace shooting down six russian planes.

it's actually a clip from a video game, a flight simulator. even we can't guarantee that all the videos we have shown you are authentic. but one thing is certain, russia has a much bigger military, but in the battle for public opinion, scrappy little ukraine is running rings around its enemy, thanks to social media soldiers like ina. >> the story does help us save the people that. is the most important part, i think. >> that was david pogue reportin facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results? olay brightens it up with new olay vitamin c. gives you two times brighter skin. hydrates better than the 100, 200, even $400 cream. see, my skin looks more even, and way brighter. dullness? so done. turn up your results with new olay vitamin c my skin can face anything. shop the full vitamin c collection at olay.com
