wat russia lacks in apparent military strategy, it makes up for in boastful videos like this one claiming to show off their cruise missiles heading to zhytomyr 100 miles west of kyiv but for ukrainians at the receiving end of this constant bombardment from the sky, it is hell on earth. the coastal city of mariupol has been decimated, reduced to twisted skeletons of steel and the hollowed out shells of apartment blocs. hasty burials provide fleeting dignity for the dead. the 100,000 people still trapped there have no electricity, very little food and spend their nights in icy basements. >> did you ever think you would see this in your lifetime? >> no, i could never imagine this. i saw children without fingers. i saw child with hole on his face. i saw dead child, six years old

bombed. >> so you are worried you could be hit. >> yes, we worried, all of us. every day. we don't know if tomorrow will happen. >> like everyone here, magerramova hasn't been home since the war began over a month ago. she sleeps at the hospital, but rest doesn't always come easily. >> what is the worst thing that you have seen? >> witnessing first hand the horrors inflicted on the war's most innocent victims is a heavy burden to bear. >> and debora joins us now in ukraine, you talk about those 100,000 people still in mario pom-- mar why poll. what happens if the russians take control of that city? >> well, the russians would get their coveted land bridge between crimea and the separatist regions in eastern done bass which is controlled by dushan separatists and it would be russia's first big win. >> you look at how hard the ukrainian army military volunteers are fighting, how

hard are they willing to fight to try and keep mariupol? >> as hard as they can, everyone we have spoken to here on the ground say they'll fight to the death, jericka. >> duncan: debora patta reporting from kyiv, thank you so much. turning now to washington where nine unscripted words spoken by president biden have caused a global diplomatic uproar. cbs's skyler henry is at the white house where the biden administration has been making some swift clarifications. >> that's right, good evening to you, world leaders were certainly caught off guard by the pridencloarks. d mixed reviews enfrom some allies, some are concerned mr. biden's rhetoric could potential leadd more fuel to the fire. >> president biden is back in washington after a three day european trip to rally support from the west for ukraine. but the talk today is of the offscript comment mrs. biden had at the end of his address in poland, seemingly calling for

russian president vladimir putin to be removed from office. for god sake this man cannot remain in power. >> the white house immediately clarified that message insisting the president wasn't talking about regime change. instead saying putin cannot be a allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. >> we do not have a strategy of regime change in russia or anywhere else for that matter. >> critics at home including identify hough republican senator jim risch call it a tremendous gaffee. >> i wish he would stay on script. this administration has done everything they can to stop escalating, there is not more yo can do to escalate than call for regime change. >> and abroad they are distancing themselve including french president emmanuel mack ron who still communicate with putin who warned about the verbal escalation with moscow calling it counterproductive. russian officials charged back that it is not up to president biden to decide who will remain

in power in russia. secretary blinken also said today that the u.s. is set on maintaining strong support for ukraine in the face of war as western leaders continue to try to focus on putting more economic pressure on russia. jericka? >> duncan: skyler henry at the white house, thank you. a wildfire south of boulder, colorado, this weekend forced thousands to flee. it is now at least 20% contained and evacuation orders have been lifted. an alarming outlook the national weather service said this month a drought extends across more than 60% of the country. that is fuel for more fire. we get now more from michael abeyta of our denver station kcnc. >> for the second time in three months a wildfire in boulder county, colorado, threatedenned hundreds of homes forcing thousands to find safety. >> i was like this looks like a wildfire brewing, so we should get off this mountain. >> ben holder was hiking seat

>> duncan: despite some 150,000 troops and superior firepower russia's invaiks of ukraine a speers to have stahled. cbs news chief national secured david martin remembers another invasion that lasted far longer, this report filed for sunday morning. >> long before russia invaded ukraine, long before you ever heard of vladimir putin, russia invaded av iman stand. >> by all accounts the soviet takeover was planned and executed. >> it was christmas of 1979 and michael vickers was working for the cua.

>> nobody gave the afghans a chance in 1979. >> russia back then was still the soviet union, went in to install a puppet regime. ten years later, the last soviet tank rumbled out of afghanistan, defeated by afghan rebels armed by a secret cia operation run by vickers. >> it was the only time the red army had been defeated in its history. >> it is only a month into putin's invaiks of ukraine, and already what was supposed to be a cake walk has turned into a bloody slog. >> putin is in probably even a tougher box than the soviets then. >> a tougher box, how. >> his economy ising being destroyed. >> you have to look at this and see russian power being destroyed, you know, both militarily and economically. >> the soviets are in afghan stand for ten years, is that the kind of tim frame we're looking at for ukraine? >> i think the time frame is

shorter but i don't see how russia takes the pain over a sustained period of time. >> putin has been unable to achieve his initial goal of seizing the capitol of kyiv and overthrowing the zelenskyy government, although he is expected to regroup and try again. >> when people talk about putin doubling down, what can he double down with. >> he has really doubled down on the population, destruction strategy, the scorched earth strategy, that is really all he has got left. >> if putin succeeds in seizing kyiv and installing a puppet regime, what happens next. >> well, i don't think a puppet regime could survive at all. the russian army really can't pass fie the country, the population hates them. >> the parallels between the cars in afghanistan and ukraine are striking. with one glaring difference. in 1985 when the red army was miered in afghanista, the man at the top in the kremlin was the reform-minded mikael
