12:00 pm
it's the top of the hour on cnn newsroom. >> big day here in warsaw. >> a big day there. cnn is getting new information about russia's latest military maneuvers as they face major set back s in ukraine.
12:01 pm
russian forces have moved from offensive positions to defensive ones. that's according to a senior u.s. official. the official says russia is moving troops into ukraine from georgia as reenforcement and the uk defense ministry says ukraine's forces have taken major positions. >> reporter: in the last hour, the president of the united states, joe biden, landed here in warsaw. tomorrow he will meet with ukrainian refugees taking shelter here in the polish capital and delivering what the white house calls major speech on russia's invasion of ukraine. earlier today president biden met with the polish president near the polish-ukraine border. he also met with u.s. soldiers from the 82nd airborne division who have been deployed ed polans
12:02 pm
part of nato. the stakes of the ukraine war go well beyond its borders. biden is pledging a more humanitarian and military aid for the region. tomorrow he will meet face-to-face with a few of the more than two ukrainian refugee who is have wound up here in poland in the last month. he will deliver what the white house describes as this major address. phil matingly is also here with us. what can we expect to hear from the president tomorrow? >> reporter: it will to distill the moment and lay out the urgency of the moment and to build off some of the things you saw him say to the members of the 82nd airborne that the troops here in poland, earlier today about this being while
12:03 pm
certainly about ukraine, bigger in the grand scheme of things and in the broader things of things. the president meeting with those member of the military and meeting with members of the u.s. army that are deployed here. making sheer he wished he didn't have to go to ukraine because of security concerns. >> part of my disappointment is i can't see it first hand like i had in other places. they will not let me, understandably, cross the border and take a look at what's going on in ukraine. i'm eager to hear from you about what you seeing, what you're
12:04 pm
doing. >> reporter: there's no shortage of examples of the horror that's taken place in the country. the president will meet with some of them tomorrow according to his schedule. >> phil, what else did the president say to those u.s. troops from the 82nd airborne division who are here in poland? what else did he say today? >> reporter: he seemed to riffing in was not a scripted speech. this biggest point he wanted to make was thanks and passing on his gratitude. this isn't just about ukraine. u.s. and its allies are doing
12:05 pm
everything they can to alleviate the pain and horrors happening inside the country. this is also a broader, more intense moment for the entire world. an infection point is what he referred to. almost a reordering of the global structure. that's how important that is. >> reporter: thank you very much. more than 3.7 million people have fled ukraine since the start of the invasion only a month ago. 3.7 million people. melissa bell is in the city where the president stopped by today. what can the president expect? >> we heard him a moment ago regretting that he wuasn't able to go and see for himself, to
12:06 pm
see first hand what's happening across the border. what we found with poland is by speaking to the women who have been fleeing in such huge numbers and it's important here even when we look at the scale to remember the individual tragedies. it's really easy to get an idea of what's been happening around them. >> reporter: they arrived day and night at medical crossing. mother and their children carrying little. burdened only by the images of what they fled .
12:07 pm
the most scared was when the plane. >> reporter: it was a sound of the plane's at night that scared her the most on her three-day journey from kharkiv. it was that sound that forced her and her son from their first underground shelter. as a mom, i was scared. my son handled it better. it's harder for the mother. for a grandmother, perhaps hardest of all. they escaped more than a week ago. a shell hit our house.
12:08 pm
the family decided to flee. it's too dangerous because if a woman walks out with a white flag and a child, they don't look. they just shoot. kill. they spare no one. we can't go home basis there's no home. they head into yeurope after crossing a border they never wanted to cross. >> reporter: it's that problem of logistics, how to look after that many people in such a short space after time. we're talking about millions that have made it across the borders.
12:09 pm
they don't want to head far from this r this border, wolf. >> which is totally understandable. you have to give the polish people a lot of credit for welcoming more than two million ukrainian refugees into this country over the past month or so. mostly, women and children. the men between the ages of 18 and 60 have to stay behind to fight in the military. heartbreaking situation. melissa bell doing excellent reporting for us. thank you very much. victor, the whole situation is so heartbreaking. it's painful to try to appreciate what's going on.
12:10 pm
>> ten million people displaced because of this war. heartbreaking, indead. new video in from one of the deadliest attacks of russia's invasion. the city council of mariupol believe 600 people may have been killed in theater. this was being used as a bomb shelter. you can see how many people were packed in here. women, children. officials say at least 600 people have made it out alive. phil black is live. let's start with what more can you tell us about the video we have watched. >> reporter: officials are giving us a more accurate idea of what happened in the theater on the day it was struck. that was an march 16th.
12:11 pm
it's taken time to piece it together. there's no real government services in the city anymore. they believe there were some 900 people in total, of which 600 survives. 300 were killed. those who died were mostly on the upper floor and mostly to one side of the theater. you can see from the picture, the video that people are walking out covered in dust and debris but walking downstairs and part of the building that appears to be standing. there's video of another section of the building which is clearly where the explosion took place. it has been torn apart. there the person shooting the video says this is where people are lining up just a short time before. remember, this is the building where people had written in very large letters outside the russian world, for children. in hope it would protect them from this sort of attack. it did not. we're talking about this more than a week after the actual
12:12 pm
attack . ta are cold. they are scared . they do not know when they will be safe again. >> talk to us about this russian general. they have killed another one. there's been several significant loss for putin. >> reporter: according to ukraine, this was a general commanding russian forces near the city. this is the sixth general to be reported killed on the battlefield here. yes, significant losses. the russian ministry of defense has given an official update on casualties here in ukraine.
12:13 pm
it says it's lost around 1300 troops on the battlefield here. that's a very different figure to the nato and u.s. estimates which estimated a broad range. somewhere between 7,000 and 14 or 15,000. russian troops are stations in the country of georgia. they are stationed in the break away area. they have been there since russia invaded georgia back in 2008. let's head north to the power plant which the russians took. i think it was day one of this invasion. the boricers at the plant are at risk because of shelling in a nearby town. what's the situation there? >> reporter: the international atomic energy agency has pointed out some residential areas near
12:14 pm
the plant are being shelled and attacked by russian forces. if you harm these people, the workers, you harm the safety management and running of that nuclear plant. victor. >> phil black. thank you. some international aide groups are warning of a catastrophic health crisis after russian attacks on health fa stil -- facilities. president biden announced plans to help the russian eu wean itself off russian energy. the impact on oil and gas price, ahead. yes, please! neuriva. think b bigger. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for whatchya...

ukraine. the international rescue community is warning they are facing a catastrophic health crisis. she's joining us here in poland. thank you so much for joining us. thanks for all you and your teams are doing. poland is welcoming in the majority of these ukrainian refugees. what's the situation like for them where you are? >> it's great to be here. people are arriving in poland. i think it's clear more than ever they are arriving having fled active conflict and arriving completely traumatized and it's fair to see that mental health is a real need, support that people really need right now. they are rr very cold. they are exhausted. i met a woman traveling with her husband and two children. the reason they decided to leave is because their 6-year-old daughter has a disease that the
12:21 pm
doctors in ukraine advised they couldn't treat anymore. a treatable disease in any regular hospital. because the catastrophe happening in ukraine, they had to leave and extremely traumatized by it. >> we hit the one month mark. what are you doing to prepare these refugees for the long term because god only knows how long this will continue. >> you're right. a will the of the people we're speaking to even now in the last few days when they fled such horrific violence, they don't think they will be away from ukraine for long. they are determined and hopefully they will be able to return back to ukraine. the ioc is working in resepg centers and sherlts across the biggest cities where people are moving to. they are staying in shelters for days, weeks at a time. then they really need trauma

12:23 pm
ukraine have access to basic things like first aid kit, tourn tourniquets. beyond that, we have also seen there's been a rise in covid 1 cases just before the conflict escalated. that's going to become as issue as people heads toward the reception centers. there's things like polio, hiv, aids, are real major concerns inside ukraine. this collapse of the health care system and hospital is a real concern for diseases that should otherwise be treatable and preventible. >> once again, nancy, thank you so much. thanks for everything you and your teams are doing. we are all so appreciative of that. appreciate it very, very much. thank you. victor x back to you. >> wolf, we can see, we heard from nancy there kind of the

it's a key port city where russia has 22 ships offshore. ukraine has updated its wish list of military assistance and now says it needs hundred more missiles than previously requested. the new request totals 500 anti-tank missiles per day. ukraine says it could face a weapons shortage. intelligence assessment says putin forces are running low on air launched cruise mill missiles. let's bring in william cohen and a former republican senator. welcome back. let's start with this updated request from the youukrainian military. is it likely that western allies and nato will meet that request. >> i think they should.
12:31 pm
we should give him whatever he is requesting at this point that we have been supplying with. more of the same . >> they are not pursuing a ground defensive toward kyiv. we heard from russian military official that the focus now is the liberation of donbas .
12:32 pm
>> when ever the reason they are pausing, this is a real opportunity for the ukrainian military to go after them. they are not moving forward. they are digging in. they become much more vulnerable to an offense or a counter offense carried out by the ukrainians. as far as what they are doing in donbas, they are trying to solidify their rule there. they are dominant in the region for the time being. if we continue to give president zelenskyy the am munition he's looking for, that may help turn tides. it's as if putin, although he's closely associated with china has never studied sun suh. he said if you're going to go into battle, now yourself and

you'll win half the time. know your enemy and you win half the time. if you know neither, you'll lose. the russians didn't know themselves. they didn't know the ukrainians are now they are finding themselves face-to-face with an adversary that has more will to fight than they do. we are doing whatever we can to help the ukrainians but i heard the recommendation could be established a no fly zone or humanitarian zone. the question is would we be doing it ourselves or with our allies and what would the american people say united bel beh behind us now. that's something we really have to take into account. >> yeah. >> how do you get out after your get in? that reference to the people's republic .
12:34 pm
they gave up their nuclear weapons and those security guarantees would likely mean a commitment of u.s. forces in there is some signing of an agreement to end this war. is that something that the u.s., the uk would likely sign onto, a commitment of u.s. forces if russia were to cross that border again? >> it's hard to see how the russians would accept the presence of the united states and nato allies to defend what will be left carved out from what the russians occupy now and have u.s. forces on their border in ukraine if they are going to have the donbas or keep what they have.
12:35 pm
we have to do what we can to make sure it doesn't happen. he's set a fire into a home filled with innocent people and threatening to burn down the neighborhood if you try to put the fire out. we can't really accept that. i don't think zelenskyy will ever accept that. i don't have a clear cut solution but i think he needs all the security he's going to have accuming he will remain not aligned with nato but is a neutral position such as some other countries in the region. >> we know there's these tiger teams trying to figure out what could be the response if putin were to order use of a biological, chemical, nuclear weapon in ukraine. if there's potentially the use of that weapon and there is some
12:36 pm
spillover. some radioactive draft. some impact on poland, romaroma. is that enough to trigger article 5? does that qualify as an attack on a nato country? >> i think it depends. i would say if you cross that thresholds, you are inviting a much wider war involving other nations. that's something that has not been done since world war ii. it should not be done now. i think he, at that point, may very well be inviting a much bigg bigger war than he has on his hands now. >> thank you, sir. vladmir putin complained about cancel culture and tried to compare russia to jk rowlings. she is not having it. that story is next.

today president biden announced a joint task force with the european commission. the goal is to reduce europe's dependence on russian oil and gas. officials say the point is to deprive vladimir putin of the profits used to, quote, drive his war machine. the u.s. is working to send 15
12:51 pm
billion cubic meters to help wean europe off russian energy. matt, what is the carryover? the impact potentially on the u.s. gas prices? >> well, i don't think america will have to pay more to heat their homes, pay more for natural gas in general. that's because the united states has already maxed out how much natural gas it can send overseas. we can't send anymore because there is not enough infrastructure for it. it takes years to build it. the united states is the largest natural gas producer on the planet. unlike with oil, the u.s. actually consumes less than it actually produces. so there is enough to send it overseas. the goal is to really wean europe off russian energy. and that is very significant because in 2020, more than a third of europe's natural gas came from russia. about a quarter of its oil came from russia. the other goal, of course, is to punish russia's economy.
12:52 pm
