this is cbs news flash. i'm tom hanson in new york. officials are sounding the alarm over a growing humanitarian crisis nearly two weeks into russia's invasion of ukraine. the u.n. now estimates 2 million ukrainians have fled the country, but millions more remain trapped. the port city of mariupol is surrounded by russian troops, the situation the ukrainian prime minister calls catastrophic. countries around the world are offering supplies to ukrainian forces. in a rare move, japan lifted restrictions to send a shipment of bullet proof vests and poland proposed a plan to send fighter jets to ukrainian forces using a u.s. air base. the pentagon rejected the plan over concerns it would escalate

the conflict further. for more news, download the cbs news app on your cell phone. i'm tom hanson, cbs news, new york. this is the cbs "overnight news." good evening, and thank you for joining us on this tuesday night. we are following heavy fighting in eastern ukraine, fighting that is leaving innocent ukrainians trapped and unable to flee. this as the civilian death toll is growing. president zelenskyy saying today at least 50 children have been killed in the first 13 days of the war. and the humanitarian crisis is worsening. the number of people leaving the country now tops two million, and half of them are children. kyiv and other major cities remain under constant bombardment from missile strikes and long-range artillery. help could soon be on the way after poland announced a deal

that could send ultimately these mig-29 fighter jets to ukraine. but the pentagon is raising serious concerns tonight about that proposal. well, nearly two weeks into the invasion, russia has captured only one major city despite 200,000 troops in and around the country. the cia director told congress today that's why vladimir putin is angry and frustrated. the dictator planned on a quick, decisive victory, and is now likely to double down and "with no regard for civilian casualties." we have a lot to get to tonight, starting with cbs' charlie d'agata in kyiv. good evening, charlie. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. the russian government announced another cease-fire here in the capital and four other cities starting from tomorrow morning to allow for the evacuation of civilians. while there was some limited success here today, there's also skepticism. this cease-fire came too late to save the lives of two children pulled from the rubble in sumy. among the bodies of at least 21 people killed in the russian airstrike overnight. officials say, today a brief

break in fighting allowed the evacuation of thousands of people, including foreign students trapped at the university for days. but the cease-fire in the besieged southern port city of mariupol collapsed amid renewed shelling for the third time. hundreds of thousands of residents at the mercy of russia's onslaught, in catastrophic conditions. "we don't have electricity," a woman shouts. "we don't have anything to eat. we don't have any medicine. we've got nothing." on the outskirts of the capitol itself, in irpin, thousands of people who took shelter beneath that downed bridge today joined a mass evacuation with the help of soldiers and aid agencies. we have heard some loud explosions off in the distance, but the lull has enabled a number of people to cross from irpin into this area, a little bit closer to the capital.

ohla papina told us when her neighborhood came under attack, she had to get her 84-year-old mother, suffering from alzheimer's, out of there. "please help us, please help our government," she asked, breaking down in tears. her husband said, "i'm russian. but i hate russia. i hate, hate, hate them. they're killers," as explosions rang out. ef as they're reunited with their son, but he told us, as soon as he sees them to safety, he'll join the fight. as russian troops close in on the capital, terrified residents are seeking shelter wherever they can. at the city hospital, the maternity ward has been turned into a bomb shelter, a hallway lined with pregnant women huddling on mattresses. sula and max told us it was a difficult birth for their son in more ways than one. >> i don't know.

my emotions so mixed. because the first time i can hold him. >> reporter: this is your first time. >> yes. i was laying all night because the delivery was not easy. >> reporter: what does it feel like to hold your son? >> i can-- i cannot explain. it is the most happy moment in my life. >> reporter: in an emotional address to british parliament today, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy echoed winston churchill and quoted shakespeare saying, "to be or not to be. the question could have been about ukraine. obviously, it is to be." norah. >> charlie d'agata, thank you. russian tv has released the first images of wnba star brittney griner since her arrest. the two-time u.s. olympic gold medalist was detained last month at a moscow airport after russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges that contained cannabis oil. if convicted, she faces up to 10 years in a russian prison.

back here in washington, the first criminal trial from the january 6 assault ended in a guilty verdict. it skocould be a bellwether fro the hundreds of cases arising. here's cbs' scott macfarlane. >> reporter: guy reffitt of wylie, texas, never made it into the capitol on january 6, but armed with a semiautomatic handgun and zip ties, he confronted police outside the building and waved the mob in, later boasting of his exploits. >> i don't care. i'll drag her by her ankles if she comes out. >> reporter: he's now facing decades in prison after being convicted on all five counts, including bringing a gun to the capitol, obstructing congress' certification of the election, and interfering with police. the landmark verdict gives the justice department newfound leverage over the nearly 500 capitol riot defendants still facing possible trials. >> by winning this case decisively, it also increases the opportunity for the department of justice to gain

cooperation from those defendants who are perhaps leaders of this riot. >> reporter: reffitt's own son testified against him, saying he was so frightened of reffitt's antigovernment rants that he tipped off the fbi after the attack, reffitt threatened to kill his son and daughter if they turned him in. still, their mother, reffitt's wife, defended her husband today and said other january 6 defendants shouldn't be scared off. what would you tell the other people who are still to stand trial in these cases after watching a guilty verdict? >> don't take a plea. do not take a plea. they want us to take a plea. the reason that we have all guilty verdicts is they are making a point out of guy. >> reporter: meanwhile, there's a new high-profile defendant, proud boys leader enrique tarrio was arrested today and appeared in a miami court, charged with conspiracy for his role directing and coordinating the mob. court documents say tarrio met with the now-indicted head of the oath keepers, stuart rhodes, in an underground parking garage in washington, d.c. the day before the attack.

guy reffitt's wife says they plan on appealing today's verdict. sentencing is set for june and he faces up to 60 years in prison. norah? >> quite a decision. scott macfarlane, thank you. a 15-year-old was killed and two teenage girls seriously wounded. the boy who was killed was not a student at the school and was the target of the drive-by shooting. public schoolteachers in minneapolis walked off the job today, canceling classes for about 29,000 students. union members are negotiating with the district over pay, class sizes and mental health support for students drugling in the wake of the pandemic. a small plane crashed in the center median of a major highway near denver, colorado. both people on board escaped with minor injuries and no cars

this is the cbs "overnight news." washington. thanks for staying with us. the u.s. is stepping up its sanctions against russia for the invasion of ukraine. joe biden announced he's banning all russian oil imports into the united states. russian oil makes up just a small percentage of what americans use, but the move is expected to drive up the price of gasoline and home heating oil. the president announced the u.s. will be picking up part of the resettlement cost for the 2 million refugees who have fled ukraine since the start of the war. more than a million of them have

fled to poland. tony dokoupil has the story. >> reporter: the scene unfolding behind me is one of fresh arrivals from that war zone, refugees, most of them children, their first steps to safety is what you're looking at. but also a fresh outpouring of relief. we've got to mention that, as well. there are new tents here. there are new donations, as well. i think a special thank you is in order for whoever dropped off that mickey and mini that little girl's arms. none of this was here or scarcely here just a week ago, and it's been growing. let's get straight to the news, as well. there is hope that evacuations will take place from several key ukrainian cities. the devastation like we see here in kharkiv shows it's not just military targets at risk right now from russian bombing. heartbreaking scenes from what people are fleeing from. others are going in. the number of international fighters helping ukraine is growing by the day. the ukrainian government says

more than 16,000 total now foreign fighters have arrived in the country. in just the last few days, we have met several americans who say they are too planning to help ukrainian forces. in fact, they are over the border as we speak. they told us they could not just sit back and watch. we landed in warsaw and saw them immediately. three americans headed for ukraine. ready to die, they say, in a fight for survival against the russians. what's the plan? >> the plan to help save lives. >> reporter: of? >> of ukrainian people. >> reporter: andriy penchak was born in ukraine. but he launched this mission from bucks county, pennsylvania. while we read in his local paper he's never been in a battle and used personal savings to pay for his tickets, he said the hardest part was leaving behind his three young children. >> i didn't say good-bye. i said, "see you." >> reporter: you said, "see you later?" >> yes. >> reporter: while the u.s.

soldiers are staying out of ukraine, everyday americans like this are not restricted from going in, says acting u.s. ambassador to ukraine christina cavine. what does the american government say to americans who are volunteering for combat in ukraine? >> we encourage all americans not to travel to ukraine right now, and those americans who are in ukraine to leave ukraine because it is not safe. >> reporter: closer to the border, however, we caught up with bipartisan leaders of the house foreign affairs committee, congressman gregory meeks and michael mccaul, who had just seen the war's human toll up close. how do each of you feel about our fellow countrymen joining the fight there? >> i think that what they see and what people around the world see is democracy is at stake. as president zelenskyy said to us, this is not just a fight for ukrainian people, this is a fight for all of us.

it's just starting here. >> ukrainians have inspired the world, and these freedom fighters, i call them. >> reporter: but on thursday, russia's military warned foreign fighters would be treated as mercenaries, not as protected combatants under international law. >> as far as i see, civilians are not protected by humanitarian law. so i don't take much credence to anything they say. >> reporter: we spotted christopher in full body armor walking toward the check point into ukraine. before the war, this trained pastry chef with no military experience had been splitting his time between the new york culinary scene and skrain ukraine. but after evacuating his wife and baby, he decided to go back. not to fight, he says, but to help others. >> reporter: but ukrainian by marriage but on paper you're an american about to enter ukraine to join the war effort. are you worried? >> i'm absolutely worried, yes.

but i'm more worried for the people there not able to leave. >> reporter: is this somethingr? >> yes. i want my child to have a ukraine to go back to when she's grown up. >> reporter: we did hear from him this morning. he said he's in "deep." as for the other group, we got a picture from him. they are over the border. let's take a look at it there. there's a sign with ukraine on it. and on their car, they brought the american flag with them, still representing. i'm joined by our christina rafini, she's here covering the crisis. we talk about women and children leaving the war zone, but they're still helping back home. >> they are. just by being here they're helping. there was a young ukrainian man saying by bringing civilians out, they are helping the military focus on what they need to do. they've also been acting as couriers. we've seen women with eu tagged cars that can go anywhere in

europe, running in to get family. this weekend, we met a young woman, 29 years old. she worked in journalism and communications. she was here for about 30 minutes. she went and picked up a car that had night vision goggles, all kinds of supplies and took the keys and was driving it to donate it to the ukrainian military. she said i can't fire a gun, i can't fight, ut this is what i can do, so i'm volunteering to help. >> christina, great reporting once again. there is one more story i wanted to mention. we've been covering the war on information. the disinformation effort on behalf of the russians in russia. we met a woman yesterday, she came from kharkiv. she spent eight days in a subway station there in avoiding bombs. and what she told us was that her brother in moscow, who she's communicating with, sending pictures, telling him about the horrors in ukraine. he does not believe her, guys.

looking at his sister, hearing from her, he sides with russia. that is the power of disinformation, and why the truth matters, but the truth is not always enough. >> tony dokoupil in poland on the border of ukraine. new sanctions against the russian energy industry come as nations around the world seek to crack down on the billionaires who prop up the putin regime. high-priced property and luxury yachts are being confiscated. and in britain, the parliament is considering laws to make it harder for the oligarchs to spend their money there. here is that story from london. >> reporter: london has long been a playground for the wild and rich. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> reporter: prime minister boris johnson says the days of dirty money are over. >> that means oligarchs in london will have nowhere to hide. >> reporter: oligarchs, russian industry titans with ties like tentacles to the kremlin, are

being targeted in tough new sanctions by uk lawmakers. >> we will continue working through our hit list of oligarchs focusing on their houses, yachts and every aspect of their lives. >> reporter: but that hit list doesn't include britain's most famous oligarch, who has known president putin for decades. worth an estimated $12 billion, he owns the london soccer club chelsea. last week, he put the club up for sale, with a reported $2.5 billion price tag. promising to donate proceeds to victims of the war in ukraine. but it's in process where most oligarchs store their cash. >> the uk has laundered the world's dirty money for decades can. >> reporter: rachel davies is with the anti-corruption watch dog transparency international. >> we found $1.5 billion pounds worth of uk property owned by russians who are either con connected to corruption or have close ties to the kremlin. this is almost simply the tip of

the iceberg. >> reporter: this is britain's second largest home, second only to buckingham palace. valued at over $400 million. it's been linked to a billionaire. he was purchased by a british shell company. he was in a meeting with putin just days after russia invaded ukraine. mikael friedman has already been sanctioned. the russian oligarch warns sanctions won't stop putin. >> imposing sanctions against here just create enormous pressure for us personally. but we do not have any impact for political decision, at all. >> this will be about hurting putin. >> reporter: still, the economic crime bill, which closes ways to launldzer wash, is designed to put more pressure on those with close ties on vladamir putin and those who make it easy for them. >> here in london, we have an

army of professionals, lawyers, bankers, accountants, many of them are acting with integrity. but a lot of them are either willfully engaging with corrupt individuals or turning a blind eye while they help them launder their money. >> reporter: as the war in ukraine continues to sort of rage on, this battle to find and freeze russian assets is just getting started. but here's the thing, even with these new laws, the concern is that russian oligarchs will still find ways to shield their assets from scrutiny. the cbs "overnight news" will be right back. trelegy for copd.
