restaurant. today, volunteers prepare 8,000 daily rations for soldiers. in their fight against fascism, says the manager. vladamir putin says you're the fascist, that you are the nazis. i'm looking around here, you don't look like nazis. >> so, okay, i'm jewish. what do you think, it's impossible. >> reporter: during world war ii, he says, at least hitler admitted the jews exist. vladamir putin says the ukrainians do not. >> and chris livesay joins us now from odesa. how imminent is an attack on odesa? >> reporter: well, jericka, british intelligence said today russian forces are advancing from crimea, in an effort to sir kuk vent -- sir kuk vent

amounts of military assistance, weapons and supplies to the front in ukraine. >> reporter: the latest provocation comes amid concerns russia may use chemical weapons. >> we haven't seen anything that indicates some sort of imminent chemical or biological attack, but we're watching this very, very closely. >> reporter: joe biden has said putin will pay a severe price if that happens. a new cbs news poll found strong support for actions the administration has already taken. 77% of americans support sanctions on russia's oil and gas, and 63% say they support them even if gas prices go up. and that poll finds that 59% want the u.s. to establish a no-fly zone over ukraine. now, that number does drop, however, if it as seen as escalating russian aggression. jericka? >> deborah, thank you. there were several anti-war protests today in europe. tens of thousands of people took

this is the cbs "overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks so much for staying with us. award winning american journalist brent renaud was killed in ukraine while reporting on the russian invasion. renaud and another journalist were in a car outside the capital of kyiv. as they approached a russian correct point, the car came under fire. renaud was kid and his partner wounded. like all of our colleagues in the war zone, renaud was dedicated to exposing the truth about the invasion to the rest of the world. but there's one country where none of that truth is seen -- russia. we have two reports on moscow's

propaganda machine, starting with lee cowan. >> reporter: just days after russia began its unprovoked attack on cities all across ukraine, 22-year-old julia timashinko called her relative in moscow. >> i told her about spending a nice in the basement of our building here, waking up at 4:00 a.m. to the sounds of explosions and fighter jets. my aunt told me, well, you don't know who did that. >> really? >> yes. she said, well, we're seeing one thing on the news, you're seeing another thing on the news. my response was, it's not the news for me, it's my reality, and it's what i see with my own eyes. >> reporter: she went a step further. >> i sent her pictures of my mom in the bomb shelter, us fleeing on the packed train. she blocked me. >> she blocked you after you sent the pictures? >> yes, yes, exactly. >> not even, are you okay? i don't know what's going on, but are you okay, none of that?

>> yeah, it's -- yeah. i know that everything that they receive is sort of flipped. they call black white and white black and that's how they have been living for decades. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: for those living in russia, the singularity of the state-run media is impossible to escape. the russian military is portrayed as doing god's work. even the orthodox church has endorsed the application has a moral imperative. if you're wondering how vladamir putin can convince so many good people to believe in such bad things, consider this. >> propaganda rests on what people already believe and think they feel. the things that they accept at their deepest level. >> reporter: nick cull has

studied propaganda most of his life. he's a professor at the university of southern california. >> by alleging that ukraine is dominated by nazis, and that it is necessary for him to repeat the historic mission as it was then the soviet union in defeating nazis. this is incredibly powerful stuff to invoke. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: what's different, he says, is just how many lies are being spread. >> the volume of disinformation coming out of russia over the last four years is unprecedented. >> something like 2/3 of russians are in favor of the war, because the war that they're approving of is not the actual war that's happening. >> reporter: just this past week, when disturbing pictures emerged of a bloody pregnant woman stumbling out of a bombed out maternity hospital, russians

were told she was an actor. she probably wasn't even pregnant. she gave birth this past friday. so they're buying it, right, for the most part? >> it's hard not to buy it. they blocked facebook and twitter, slowing down youtube. all of russian independent media has been rooted out, or what was left of it was rooted out in the last week. now that's all gone completely and it's just state media. >> reporter: julia yafi has covered the kremlin for a decade and is currently founding member of the new site, puck. >> russians are good at suffering for a cause they believe is just, that's what the kremlin is counting on. if they keep telling the russian people this is a just war and war of liberation, people won't rise up and demand change when their economic circumstances get worse and worse, which they will. >> reporter: if there is any goodws, experts say,

propaganda usually backfires. >> any time you introduce a distortion, somebody has to pick up the tab down the road when it turns out that the world is not as described. >> reporter: and in ukraine, the first russians to recognize that may eventually be the invading army itself. >> and they're seeing when they roll into ukraine, they're seeing the resistance. they're seeing how much people hate them. they're seeing tens of thousands of ukrainians telling them to go home and cursing at them. and it's one of the reasons the advance isn't going very well. everybody was lied to, and they can see it. >> reporter: as russian troops continue their assault, julia hopes that the lies that launched vladamir putin's war will one day prove to be the spark that ignites a revolution. what's the one thing you would want the average person in russia to know about what's going on?

>> we fully support those who find courage to speak up and to resist their government. knowing that most likely they will go to jail and i just want to hug those people and tell them thank you. we just need more of those kinds of people in russia to speak up and to stand up against their own dictator. >> reporter: this is david pogue. filled aro the ing of russia'st wo n it is here,protestingt in russia. according to a russian human rights group, the government arrested more than 13,000 protestors in the first two weeks of the war. >> reporter: two weeks ago, this

18-year-old eva evanova was among 1500 protestors in st. petersburg. that's eva in the yellow jacket. she says she was held at a police station for 28 hours and ordered to sign a statement of guilt. >> and i said, i'm not signing it because i don't think i'm guilty. they tried to scare me with 20 years of jail. >> reporter: but that wasn't the worst part. >> it's very risky to take to the street. if you participate in the protest for the first time, you can be put in prison up to 15 days, 20 days, the third time will be a criminal case, so it's five years.

>> reporter: dimitri was a russian parliament member from 2011 to 2016. he open hi opposed vladamir putin's regime. after receiving threats, he and his family fled the country last june. >> we decided to get free of all politicians in the parliament, because i feel that he was planning this invasion in ukraine. >> can a protest do anything under these conditions? >> you can achieve nothing. it's impossible. it is very riskly, and it's not sufficient. >> reporter: eva knows that protesting won't stop the war. but that's not why she does it. >> i don't think that the protest can stop military operation. but i believe that is how we can show our protest and our respect

for the ukrainian people. we want people from other countries to see that our government is not us. the russian people is not russian government. >> are you more afraid now to do another protest? >> yes. i just think i can get in trouble. but it doesn't stop me. i still have to go and go and go, because it's correct. we must show our position. >> are you at all worried about showing your face on television? >> a little bit. but i want people to see that i am a real person. that >> are you a very unusual, brave, courageous person, or are there lots of people like you? >> i don't think i'm extraordinary girl. no, i'm just a girl. i'm sure that there are a lot of people like me in russia.
