zelenskyy is likely to repeat that call as he addresses the south korean parliament. the, last, week the defense minister reported that he denied the across from ukraine for more weapons. meanwhile, the new russian commander taking over the war in ukraine is raising alarm bells in washington. u.s. official says he has a history of brutal attacks on civilians. >> this particular general has a resume that includes brutality against civilians and other theaters in syria. and we can expect more of the same in this theater. this general will just be another author of crimes and brutality against ukrainian civilians. >> meanwhile, the austrian chancellor is due to meet vladimir putin in moscow later today, karl nehammer. he'll be the first eu leader to meet with mr. putin since the war began. over the weekend, mr. karl nehammer met with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and visited the town bucha. he said that bucha is a place of war crime and calls for a full investigation. cnn's covering the story from every angle for you. reporters across the globe, paula hancocks

he's everything, you know what concerns the korean parliament.or russians came to rich ukraine to eat. okay. what does asphalt look like? you don’t have doshirak, oh-oh-oh, so you understand, he understands very well that he is talking nonsense, utter nonsense, but nevertheless, you see, he still voices, i think that koreans are already. so you don’t know that even before the war, tens of millions of russians came to ukraine to work. at least it smells. yes , the famous ukrainian borscht, not three and a half million ukrainians worked and sent money and a few sales bastards. like zhenya kiselyov , i wanted to receive a generator for you. you understand evgeny kiselyov and ganapolsky, working in moscow , they have never seen asphalt, they go to kiev and are stunned by a plate of salad. well, well, he said when we talk about the war of fakes. yes, this is very important right now. i’m addressing you more than once, and i’m now drawing attention to yermak’s statement that he says a russian fake is being prepared that these same ukrainian military su

talk more about what he said. >> this really was, bianna, an impassioned plea to the south korean parliament to up the ante in terms of the amount and type of weaponry being supplied to ukraine. he was appealing specifically for tanks but also, for airplanes. weapons that he said would give ukraine, quote, a chance to survive this next offensive in the east of the country. he mentioned or claimed, i should say, that 10,000 civilians have been killed in the city of mariupol. now, it's impossible to get independently verified numbers of casualties but certainly, that port city of half a million has been the site of some of the most brutal and relentless and indiscrimkcriminate bombardment. we saw the theatre shelter there bombed, and the maternity hospital where women were preparing for or just had given birth targeted. take a look at what else president zelenskyy said about how crucial this moment is. >> translator: we still cannot determine the number of dead. from the north to the south of the country, in all areas where russian shells reached, bombs reached, the dismantling of debris is st

president zelensky has been addressing the south korean parliament, saying he fears tens of thousandshe south—eastern city of mariupol. ukrainian forces say they're now preparing for a �*last battle' to control the port, but their ammunition is running low, with the city still surrounded. the other major front in the war is of course in the east, with president zelensky warning that tens of thousands of russian troops are gathering for a major offensive for control of the donbas region. there's evidence of a huge column of russian armoured vehicles on the move as part of the military operation. our defence correspondent, jonathan beale, is in eastern ukraine. jonathan, so many people there must be bracing themselves now for a coordinated russian attack. yes, clive. we certainly heard the sound of artillery intensifying in recent days. many people who live in this region have already left, which is why you can see few lights on in the block of flats behind me. i think the fighting he will be different from what we have seen in kyiv. it is more open countryside. the advantage that ukrai

president zelensky has told the south korean parliament that he fears tens of thousands of people aremariupol. some civilians have managed to escape, heading north to the relative safety of the city of zaporishia, where they've been telling our correspondent tom bateman about their treatment at the hands of russian troops. mariupol is a city of survivors, forced to live underground. people say they scavenge for food or walk miles for water. amid the siege, it is the elderly and disabled most trapped in the line of fire. 80—year—old valentina has just been evacuated further north. she is blind and was in her kitchen when a shell exploded. translation: it's a good thing that my children were home, i they picked meet up, carried me outside and we left immediately. i don't know what happened to my house, if it burned down or anything, we don't have any communications. the calls are no longer going through. here, they're bringing in the wounded from all over the south. wasil was doing all he could to help his fellow villagers under fire. ferrying bread, sugar and medicines to the elderly.

him talking to the american congress, walking with the british prime minister, addressing the korean parliament, it is really, i am sure, it really adds to the humiliation here, and emphasizes the failure of the russian, the whole russian strategic concept. >> general ryan, we watched the 40-mile convoy of russian military fail in its mission in ukraine. this new eight mile convoy, how is this one different? >> it is probably one of many convoys we just happen to be seeing this one. there will be lots of convoys coming out of belarus, in by road, by rail, to reinforce the russians in the east. a lot of those convoys will be hollow units. semi functional equipment. while the russians may be reinforcing, the military in the east for an offensive, a lot of those forces going in are up questionable quality and have probably got very low meaning and low quality leaders. >> major general mick ryan and tom nichols, thank you both very much for joining our discussion tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, vladimir putin is on a mass murder spree in ukraine. his war will kill people, thousan

president zelenskyy is expected to address the south korean parliament just a few hours from now. this will be his 20th foreign legislative body which he has addressed since march t8th. he is seeking more international military aid as well as tougher sanctions on russia. paula hancocks is live from seoul for more on what zelenskyy is expected to say. and zelenskyy has been very effective in these speeches at convincing lawmakers and getting them on board and getting their support. so how is he expected to use his abilities here as a speech maker, if you like, to win over the south koreans? >> well, john, what we're expecting is for president zelenskyy to ask for weapons, something that we know south korea has already said no to. they have sent or pledged some $10 million in humanitarian aid. they have also sent some $800,000 of nonlethal military aid, the likes of helmets, tents, blankets and ready made food, mres and also medical supplies. but we do know the south korean government at this point is very reticent to actually pledge military aid. we know from the south korean defen

i mean, he's speaking just a few hours ago, he speaking to the south korean parliament.on 60 minutes. he's been making this plea over and over again. how do you think he's doing? >> i mean, look, he's a great man unlike the 19th century [speaking foreign language] since he's a world historical personality. i count myself lucky having the opportunity to have dinner with this once right before he became president. i, mean i did and i was having dinner with churchill when i was sitting with him in 2019. in large respect, it's a great privilege that i had a chance to have dinner with him. he's really grown into a tremendous war leader. i, mean i don't know where he's gets it. but the ukrainian people into thousand 19 were all skeptical, we were all laughing, we thought it was funny. but they elected a president who was a tv actor, playing a president. but, it turns out that they had real understanding. they saw something in him that i didn't want to miss tv show. they saw him as one of them, representing their best character traits >> you called, use the word trauma which i

guy: president zelenskyy addressing the south korean parliament earlier today.he message is clear, weapons, weapons, weapons. president biden will push india to take a tougher stance on russia later today. he will be sticking to prime minister narendra modi later on. joining us from washington is bloomberg's annmarie hordern. this talk about that india meeting. how aggressive do you think president biden is going to be? he has pushed back against the chinese. now it is india's turn. what do using the message is going to be? annmarie: i think the message is going to be that we have heard outright in public president biden's top iconic advisor brian deese say they warned india about if there's a future alignment over western countries. at the same time, you have seen a lot of public displays of outcry from western nations, especially when you have india last week abstaining from the vote revoking russia on the u.n. high commission of human rights council, yet at the same time, reporting that we have behind-the-scenes that there does seem to be more outreach from t

he spoke to south korean parliament earlier today and said that he believes tens of thousands of people have been killed in the city of mariupol. that's in the southeast, the port city bombarded day in and day out for many weeks now, indiscriminately. residential buildings, shelters, a maternity hospital most infamously as you probably remember. there is a fear going forward. while, of course, we cannot confirm that number in terms of tens of thousands of people killed in that fighting, there is certainly a very real and palpable sense of concern that when this russian offensive develops or reaches a crescendo, that it is going to be very, very ugly indeed, john. >> clarissa ward, as always, thank you so much for your reporting. >>> also here in ukraine, jake tapper with me now with breaking news he's reporting out. what is this? >> reporter: there are nine aid workers who have apparently been taken prisoner by russian troops according to this ngo. the ngo is called help people. it's an independent ukrainian charity that formed not long after the russian invasion. they provide assistanc

it comes just hours after president zelenskyy spoke to the south korean parliament warning that russia won't stop attacking until it is forced to. he now says the death toll in mariupol alone is in the tens of thousands. zelenskyy also compared russian atrocities with those perpetuated by north korea during the korean war and called again for the international community to do more to help. >> president zelenskyy also offered his opinion on what he's seeing in the actions of russian soldiers, saying, "russian soldiers were shocked by the normal equipment and normal food in people's houses in ukraine. the majority of them have never seen such a level of living in their country, so they began to loot, sending everything that has some value to russia, from wash mag sheens to computers, spare parts for cars. there were incidents when russian soldiers removed the ammo from the bulletproof vests and put the tablet es and computers there instead of protective armor. what we saw in our land was a clash between two worlds." >> katty it's so amazing. i remember when i was reading a book for the f

what is he asking for we've actually been speaking to the sales korean parliament and he's reiterated his key messages once again and those, all this isn't just a fight. the ukraine is a fight for the whole of europe. and also he's asking for military help from anybody who would like to supply you cried with the heavy weaponry and the type of weapons he's now talking about. ah ahmed, cause tanks and the light. now these messages, i absolutely crucial, but he has been speaking to various different parliaments with varying degrees of success since the war began to war. we now de $46.00 of this wall and those messages are remaining exactly the same. however, one actual difference today though, is him talking about the fact that he fears that the russians are going to mount a new offensive or renewed offensive in the east in the next few days. that's actually come as a surprise unconcerned to many ukrainians who thought that the russians would actually regroup, restaurants, eyes, and resupply. and that might not happen for a little while overnight. we've heard that not only as strikes and

this as ukrainian president zelenskyy told south korean parliament just this morning that tens of thousandsrs were killed in mariupol, after weeks of attacks from russian forces. and zelenskyy voiced his frustrations with nato and the u.n. once again over weekend. >> i don't have anymore lives to give. i don't have anymore emotions. i'm no longer interested in their diplomacy that leads to the destruction of my country. >> joining us now, live from kyiv, nbc news foreign correspondent, molly hunter. also with us is retired u.s. army lieutenant general ben hodges. previously served as the commander general for the u.s. army in europe. now the persian chair in strategic studies. molly, what are you seeing on the ground in kyiv this morning. >> reporter: jose, good morning. great to be with you. so the shift of focus is absolutely on the east. and those satellite photos we have seen over the weekend of that eight-mile convoy of russian vehicles, hundreds of military vehicles. that is between kramatorsk, so that column is between kramatorsk and kharkiv, which is that big city in the east. we ar

he has just addressed the south korean parliament and said that russia is amassing tens of thousandsve. he has cried out for the weapons that his forces need to defend against that. so there is a new refugee relief effort to evacuate people and to look after them in other cities, and there is also increasing urgency to bolster the ukrainian defences to resist that russian attack from the east. russian military tactics have changed and they have consolidated in the east and there is a new command structure and the strategy seems to be to try to connect the forces in the eastern regions of luhansk and donetsk with those that have been coming forward from the south, from crimea, which russia has held since 2014, to finally secure this land bridge between crimea in the east so that russia can consolidate its units and then perhaps move further into ukraine and perhaps approach kyiv from the other direction. that is why president zelensky wants people to keep on alert. and even in cities like this, which has been calm for days now, there was an air ride warning early this morning and peop
