rivne far west of the capitol keeling nine. early this morning a missile strike in kyiv left an apartment building in flames and rescuers scram ling to save survivors. as russian troops close in on the cal tall, individuals owe in the ukrainian defense ministry shows soldiers taking up positions and fighting back. they need every weapon they can get and, at a car repair shop, we found a small team reassigning weapons ripped off russian military vehicles, modifying them for use by ukrainian soldiers. so you're using a russian weapon to kill russians. >> yes, yes. >> reporter: there's no time to wounding suburbse hard-hit irpin, soldiers evacuate wounded and dead. panicked residents brave shelling and sniper fire to escape. they arrive here in a neighboring villages exhausted after days and nights of relentless shelling without food or water in freezing conditions,

where volunteers risk their own lives in order to help others. why was it important for you to stay here rather than leave? >> we're ukrainians. we can't do anything else like that. we can't go when our people are dying here. we can't go away. >> reporter: you may have heard those explosions. we're told with some confidence those are outgoing. there are two sides to this fight and i can tell you nobody flinched. though many arrived here shell shocked, having fled even while under fire. >> the road was full. we stay with children, with the old people and with the animals, dogs and cats, and it was ami >>epor i glaou'r

safe. are you okay? >> okay, okay. we are sisters. it was terrible. it was hell. >> reporter: a hell they haven't escaped yet, with the russians advancing, they're only out of harm's way, for now. >> reporter: and charlie d'agata joins us now from kyiv where he has been for so many weeks. charlie, does it feel like today the russians were closer than they were 24 hours ago. >> without a question, norah, for a couple of reasons. they're advancing on the suburbs like irpin which you saw, come under heavy bombardment this morning and tonight. there have been siflght explosions around the capital. certainly one of the most intense days here since the invasion began. norah. >> o'donnell: stay safe, charlie d'agata, thank you.

war rules. they kill children, women, children. the thousands of people, thousands of civilians already died. they are with any price to be in kyiv. i hope it's not with chemical weapons with the civilian population. with any price, they want to win. >> o'donnell: that was our conversation with the mayor earlier today. meanwhile, some of the most intense fighting of the war can be found in southern ukraine, where russians have overtaken at least two cities and are moving closer to several others in an effort to cut off the country from the black sea. cbs's chris livesay is in the hard-hit southern port of mykolaiv. >> reporter: it's a war of the nations. in mariupol, a child cries for

her father, trapped on the balcony of the shelled apartment block. in russia's brutal siege to have the strategic port city, it's not just a blast, it's a blockade cutting off hundreds of thousands of people from food, water, heat and electricity. local authorities say more than 2,500 civilians have been killed here since the war began. among them, we learned today, this mother and her unborn child lost in a bombing at a maternity hospital last week, now an emblem of this war's uneven toll on the most vulnerable. russia's ruthless drive to conquer russia's black sea coast. russian warships like these training in the black sea have isolated it from maritime trade and travel, as putin sits he's

sets his sights on odesa, to its navy. to get there, they're trying to force their way through mykolaiv, the scene of fierce and indiscriminate shelling for days, this weekend killing three people hiding in a bomb shelter beneath a school. the city of half a million people is now half deserted, and those brave enough to step outside need to prepare for urban guerilla warfare. civilians are continuing old tires to set on fire to disorient the enemy, soldiers mobilize artillery, anything to save their city and the sea. in mykolaiv we are hearing shelling on the war path to odesa. ukraine said russia was holding off the invasion due to bad weather but with the sky clearing up, an invasion could

come at any moment. norah. >> o'donnell: chris livesay, thank you. tonight the other big headlines involves china. u.s. security advisor vague vague countered his cheens counterpart for military and economic assistance. bringing in margaret brennan. margaret, this would mark a dramatic escalation. we know that the russians are struggling, so what do they want? >> well, norah, we know the russians have asked the cheese for armed drones in part because they've seen ow effective they can be on the battlefield. the ukrainians are firing turkishmade drones and taken out russian torchings in the miles long convoy outside kyiv. in addition a russian official told me the russians are seeking armored vehicles, ground to air missiles, logistics equipment. another u.s. ally told me the chief requests from beijing is simply for cash. moscow is struggling due to the

sanctions on the banks. and the u.s. believes china's actively considering going ahead with this support which is why the president's top national security advisor jake sullivan flew to italy and met with his chinese counterpart in an intense seven-hour-long meeting according to the white house, and he tried to persuade beijing not to do this and warned of potential financial consequences if they do. >> o'donnell: wow, some stunning reporting, margaret. i want to ask you about president zelensky. he will be addressing congress and will likely push again for a "no fly" zone. what are you hearing about the efforts to send ukraine fighter jets. >> ukraine's top request is for attack aircraft and there are a growing number of lawti puing for the soviet era mig jets which poland is offering to hand over to the u.s. t poles

want to hand them over in fear of antagonizing putin. they're sending hardware and it's working. the stinger missiles will continue to flow in as were the javelin anti-tank missiles and the turkish drones, very effective. >> o'donnell: very effective. great reporting, margaret, thank you very much. as the war rages on, the humanitarian crisis grows worse by the day. 2.8 million people fled ukraine in the last 19 days and a majority came through here, poland, and the exodus shows no signs of slowing down. for many, this is the most difficult journey of their lives, but here they have found open hearts and helping hands h. beyond this gate is actually the border with ukraine where we see many of the families who are walking across actually come through this area. most people just -- all they have is a small suitcase like a
