>> reporter: u.s. intelligence estimates up to 1 million american guns are smuggled into mexico each year. those weapons empower cartels to protect the deadly drug trade, fueling an epidemic. last year alone, the dea seized 379 million doses of illicit fentanyl in the u.s., enough to kill every american. a growing chorus of political leaders have been sounding the alarm, pushing to designate cartels terrorists and deploy the u.s. military against them. but if that happened, odds are the cartels would shoot back using weapons and ammo that were made in america. we traveled to a cartel strong hold along the southwest border to find out how they'd react if the u.s. attacked. this man said he was a lieutenant in the sinaloa cartel. >> would the cartels respond if the u.s. military struck?

mexico, and so i'm very aware of this issue. we are going to get caught in a quicksand if we go into mexico that will make vietnam or iraq or afghanistan look like a tea party. >> reporter: the mexican cartels are among the deadliest groups in the world. but a cbs news investigation found the u.s. government has known the narcos have been smuggling military grade weapons out of the u.s. into mexico for years. >> so we are arming the cartels? >> 100%. no doubt about it. >> reporter: former atf agent crit dem line led a law enforcement team that discovered the scope of the problem. >> i had an intel analyst come to me one day. it was instantly apparent that the cartels had large scale networks all across the u.s. i said who's doing something about this? and he said nobody. you want to do something about it? he was like. i was like, [ bleep ], let's do something about it. >> reporter: and what they did was start project thor, a multi-agency task force that

ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is in new york today to address the united nations general assembly. later this week, he'll travel to washington for meetings with president biden and congressional leaders. before he left on this high-stakes diplomatic mission, zelenskyy discussed the state of the war with scott pelley for "60 minutes." [ speaking in a global language ] >> "we're defending the values of the whole world," zelenskyy said. "and these are ukrainian people who are paying the highest price. we are truly fighting for our freedom. we are dying. we're not fiction. we're not a book. we're fighting for real with a nuclear state that threatens to destroy the world." >> reporter: the united states has contributed about $70 billion to your war effort, and i wonder if you expect that level of support to continue.

[ speaking in a global language ] "the united states of america is supporting ukraine financially, and i'm grateful for this. i just think they're not supporting only ukraine alone. if ukraine falls, putin will surely go further. what will be the united states of america do when putin reaches the baltic states, when he reaches the polish border? he will. this is a lot of money. we have a lot of gratitude. what else must ukraine do for everyone to measure our huge gratitude? we are dying in this war." look, if ukraine falls, what will happen in ten years? just think about it. if the russians reach poland, what's next? a third world war?" >> what will it take? another $70 billion? [ speaking in a global language ] "i don't have an answer.

the whole world has to decide whether we want to stop putin or whether we want to start the beginning of a world war. we can't change putin. russian society has lost the respect of the world. they elected him and re-elected him and raised a second hitler. they did this. we cannot go back in time, but we can stop it here." >> reporter: ukraine stopped the russian advance but at a terrible cost. ruined cities, millions of refugees, untold thousands of dead, all for vladimir putin's nation-building vanity. today the war is fought on a 700-mile front. the red area is the 20% of ukraine still occupied by russia. this is where western-donated tanks were supposed to punch through, cutting the russian force in half.

but trenches, minefields, and artillery stopped the armored advance. now it's an artillery duel with each side firing about 40,000 shells a day. ukrainian infantry is advancing bloody yards at a time. it's world war i with drones. >> how would you describe the fighting at the front? [ speaking in a global language ] >> "it's a difficult question. i'll be completely honest with you. we have the initiative. ths is a plus. we stopped the russian offensive, and we moved into a counteroffensive. but despite that, it's not very fast. it is important that we are moving forward every day and liberating territory ". >> you have about six weeks of good weather left, and i wonder

after that point, will the front be frozen in place? [ speaking in a global language ] "we need to liberate our territory as much as possible and move forward, even if it's less than half a mile or 100 yards. we must do it. we can't lose time. forget about the weather and the like. in places that we can't get through in an armored vehicle, let's fly. if we can't fly, let's send drones. we mustn't give putin a break. ". >> reporter: if the front is stationary, ukrainian drones have vaulted into russia itself, hitting the kremlin and moscow high rises. officially ukraine does not acknowledge these attacks. >> the drone strikes in russia are being done on your orders. [ speaking in a global language ] "no ". >> not on your orders?

"you know we don't shoot at the territory of the russian federation. we decided to try the question another way ". >> what message is being sent with these drone strikes in russia? [ speaking in a global language ] "you do know that we use our partners' weapons on the territory of ukraine only, and this is true. but these are not punitive operations such as they carry out, killing civilians. but russia needs to know that wherever it is, whichever place they use for launching missiles to strike ukraine, ukraine has every moral right to send a response to those places. we are responding to them, saying, your sky is not as well-protected as you think." >> reporter: last winter, it was ukrainian skies that were filled with missiles in a russian bombardment to destroy power

plants. millions shivered in the dark. with winter approaching again, zelenskyy had this warning. "they must know if you cut off our power, deprive us of electricity, deprive us of water, deprive us of gasoline, you need to know we have the right to do it to you." >> reporter: russia takes zelenskyy seriously now because putin's mass invasion was a fiasco. the red marks where ukraine stopped russia's advance last year. it also marks the stain of russia's war crimes. >> mr. president, in traveling around ukraine for the last year and a half, we spoke to people in bombed-out school in chernihiv. we've seen destroyed apartment blocks, a bombed hospital in iz izium, civilians in a mass grave

in bucha. these are not military targets. what is vladimir putin trying to do? [ speaking in a global language ] "to break us. and by choosing civilian targets, putin wanted to achieve exactly this, to break us. this person who has made his way with such bloody actions, with everything he has said, cannot be trusted. there is no trust in such a person because he has not been a human being for a long time." >> the russians have suffered grievous losses without resorting to nuclear weapons. and i wonder if you believe that the threat of nuclear war is now behind us. [ speaking in a global language ] "i think he's going to continue threatening. he's waiting for the united states to become less stable.

he thinks that's going to happen during the u.s. election. he'll be looking for instability in europe and the united states of america. he will use the risk of using nuclear weapons to fuel that instability. he will keep on threatening." >> you can see scott pelley's fu

murder, showing depraved indifference, in addition to four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, criminal possession of drugs, and 12 counts of assault. mendez's attorney said she didn't know about the drugs. >> she rented a room to somebody and didn't know what was going on. >> reporter: tonight, all three of the hospitalized children, two 2-year-olds and the 8-month-old sister of one of them, are listed in stable condition. dominici had only been attending divino nino day care for a week. his parents say he would have turned 2 in november.

[ speaking in a global

language ] >> reporter: u.s. intelligence estimates up to 1 million american guns are smuggled into mexico each year. those weapons empower cartels to protect the deadly drug trade, fueling an epidemic. last year alone, the dea seized 379 million doses of illicit fentanyl in the u.s., enough to kill every american. a growing chorus of political leaders have been sounding the alarm, pushing to designate cartels terrorists and deploy the u.s. military against them. but if that happened, odds are the cartels would shoot back using weapons and ammo that were made in america. we traveled to a cartel stronghold along the southwest border to find out how they'd react if the u.s. attacked. this man said he was a lieutenant in the sinaloa cartel. >> would the cartels respond if the u.s. military struck? [ speaking in a global language ] >> i was the u.s. ambassador to

mexico, and so i'm very aware of this issue. we are going to get caught in a quicksand if we go into mexico that will make vietnam or iraq or afghanistan look like a tea party. >> reporter: the mexican cartels are among the deadliest groups in the world, but a cbs news investigation found the u.s. government has known the narcos have been smuggling military grade weapons out of the u.s. into mexico for years. >> so we are arming the cartels? >> 100%. no doubt about it. >> reporter: former atf agent chris demlein led a law enforcement team. >> i had an intel analyst come to me one day. i said, who's doing something about this? and he said, nobody. i went, well, you want to do something about it? and he was like, yeah. i was like, [ bleep ], let's do something about it. >> reporter: what they did was start project thor, a multi-agency task force that

discovered highly sophisticated gun running networks across the u.s. now, the full extent of project thor has not been reported on and we'll have that story for you tomorrow night. norah. >> extraordinary reporting. adam yamaguchi, thank you
