nick: a senior u.s. defense official said today, russian troops' advances are not as rapid as expected. but the official feared the russians would encircle kyiv in a matter of days. and the assault continues on kharkiv, ukraine's second largest city, where this weekend, russian convoys rolled into the city center. and a russian bomb hit an apartment complex. officials say dozens of civilians were killed, and more than 40 injured. ukraine said its forces emerged victorious. russian forces also suffered more losses outside of kyiv. but new satellite images show a large convoy headed toward the capital. meanwhile, for the first time since the vasion, a ukrainian delegation traveled to meet russian counterparts. both sides said the initial talks remain inconclusive. as for the country's leaders, today russia's president vladimir putin met his economic advisors at a distance one day after he increased the alert level of russia's nuclear forces, while ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky rallied his nation.

nick: a senior u.s. defense official said today russian troops near kyiv, after days of not moving, are advancing toward the city. russia continues to control territory in the north, northeast and south, surrounds 5 cities, and is increasing its assault on the port city of mykolaiv. kyiv says the only way to stop russia is a no-fly zone. but in poland, the u.s. continues to block a fighter jet transfer to ukraine. today vice president president kamala harris and polish president andrej duda tried to show unity, and harris joined growing calls for an investigation into russian war crimes. >> we have been witnessing for weeks, and certainly just in the last 24 hours, atrocities of unimaginable proportion. nick: the bombardment has led to an exodus. especially from the capital kyiv. once a thriving metropolis, now a capital deserted. the mayor said today nearly 2 million -- half the city -- has fled. aid for the displaced has arrived from all over the world through this hub in lviv. trucks full of donations

nick, a question. how meaningful is it seen the corridor, at humanitarian corridor tha-- as it existed today? nick: some 5,000 people were able to escape sumy, both residents and also many trapped students. and some humanitarian aid was allowed to get into sumy. but zelenskyy said today that that represented 1% of what needs to be done. there are more than 1,000 villages and cities across ukraine that don't have any power, don't have any electricity, don't have any basic services. hundreds of thousands are without power and without access just to some of the basics of life. and to give you a sense of how bad things have gotten in mariupol, judy, that we featured earlier, city authorities today said that they were about to start digging the mass graves. judy: it's hard to hear this. nick, and we know the u.s. was warning today about what's to come? nick: yes, as we heard at the top of the segment, we heard from avril haines, the directo of national intelligence today, say that putin would be undeterred

nick: but the u.s. rejected the plan to send soet era flight or planes -- fighter planes to the u.s. and then ukraine, feeling that would escalate conflict, although antony blinken said that is the plan. >> we are talking with our polish friends right now. nick: today, blinken punted. >>:'s proposals shows there are complexities. >> so, when will the decision be made? we have a war. we do not have time for this. nick: part of fighting that war is a national curw. by 10:00 p.m., all ukrainian cities are under curfew. the streets are quiet and kept quiet by volunteer patrols, a neighborhood watch born from the war. they coordinate with police and are allowed to enforce martial law with their own weapons. a night on the town takes on new meaning. why is it important to enforce the curfew? >> first, to identify the saboteurs that can harm our country, our city. they usually operate at night. nick: that means checking anyone who is out too le. it is 45 minutes after curfew and these guys saw a suspicious car

nick schifrin, correspondent for cbs news. and jeff zeleny for cnn. nick, i have to start with you. this week, the world watched in horror as russia captured cities and at one point even seized control of europe's largest nuclear plant. what is the latest on the ground as we have seen civilians and the ukrainian military try to fight back? nick: i think what mostly you are seeing over the last 24 hours is russia expanding its bombardment, expanding its attacks on civilian areas, expanding its indiscriminate shelling frankly against civilian targets, especially in the south. you see examples of russian troops moving from donetsk, from russian separatists or pro-russian separatists have been operating since 2014. you see russian troops moving west, along the south. the key target is mary a pole. that is where we are seeing syrian like tactics. the line was cement or starve. there has been no food, no water, no sanitation there for three days. there is frankly no way for those residents to get out from a russian cordon around the city. yamiche: as you talk about syrian tactics, you tol

nick: but a senior u.s. defense official said today the offensive on kyiv has been stalled for three days, although officials fear moscow is still planning to encircle the capital. in the southwest, russian troops could move past kherson to odessa, ukraine's third largest city. in the southeast, moscow is advancing in multiple directions towards mariupol, where russian bombardments have been so relentless, officials couldn't collect the dead or injured. in the east, in kharkiv, the u.s. believes russian forces are now just outside the city. yesterday, a russian missile struck near the historic assumption cathedral. in response, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky said russia would not escape judgment. president zelensky: they enjoy the fact that god does not give an instant rebuff. but he sees. there is no bunker to survive god's response. even if you destroy all our cathedrals and churches, you will not destroy our faith in god, in ukraine, and our people. nick: this evening, zelensky, speaking in russia

nick: u.s. officials say russia is making was progress in the north than in the south where the seizure of kherson adds to fears that odessa is the next target and could ukraine off from the coast. ukraine says this could be stopped with a no-fly zone but nato officials in brussels say that is not an option. >> we are not part of this conflict and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond ukraine. nick: the ukrainian foreign minister so that would not be good enough. >> we will continue fighting but help us. if you don't, i'm afraid you will have to share responsibility for the lives and sufferings of civilian ukrainians. nick: in ukraine's far west, civilians who fled the fighting take shelter. this is an i.t. company converted into a home for the displaced, where kids can be kids and share a smile. but for this family, like every family here, they have seen too much. the youngest is almost two. her grandma, the matriarch is 60. granddaughter, camilla, 14. how ar

nick schifrin reporting live from ukraine. thank you, nick. meantime, russian citizens by the thousands are protesting the war in ukraine, at great personal risk to themselves, as the putin government cracks down on all kinds of dissent. special correspondent ryan chilcote reports from moscow. >> [chanting] ryan: from yekaterinburg -- >> [chanting] ryan: to st. petersburg -- >> [chanting] ryan: to the capital, moscow, thousands of russians across the country, sharing one chant, one voice, spilling into streets and city squares, outraged ever since president vladimir putin last week ordered a full-scale invasion of neighboring ukraine. >> war must be stopped. it must be. it's crazy, what's going on right now. we should all shout, "no to war!" ryan: many protesters say they don't want to feel as if they have ukrainian blood on their hands. >> i don't want this war. almost no one here wants it. i want the whole world to see that we don't want it. we don't want it to weigh on our conscience for decades. i don't want to feel guilty for living here

nick connelly isn't keyed for us. he's indoors at the moment because of that. curfew, it's good to see you, nick. what is the situation in and around cave where i am now here in downtown key. if it's very, very quiet during the day there were basically any journalist and soldiers out on the street. barely any local to be seen. they all here and not everyone had left. you see them at the supermarket, you see them cut out their windows peering kind of past their blinds. but that keeping a very low profile, trying to kind of understand what it is that's happening to them and their lives. now, 10 days in this war, keep hasn't seen as much in terms of shelling and bombing as place like, had a kid grand 2nd biggest students are seem kind of choose destruction, cassette bombs, and really mass loss of life and housing. but there's still the fear that there was going to be a russian attempt to try and take out ukraine's democratically elected leadership present. lensky, what's a fears of russian clipper agents and violence kin

nick: and senior u.s. officials tell me that the russians are one running out of precision-guided missiles. some of them have failed because of corruption in manufacturing. and they do fear exactly what you just said, that the russians will dig in and be able to pummel cities. and, unfortunately, they say ukraine will be unable to effectively evict the russians if the russians hunker down. what does that say about where we are going in this war? lt. gen. lute: well, i think it underlines the importance of logistics, which is too often a sort of a misinterpreted or discarded factor in warfare. but a siege campaign, the rockets, the missiles and the artillery rounds that the russians will depend on, have to come from belarus or russia. and they have to transit relatively vulnerable logistics lines. basically, they are road-bound. and it's these road-bound resupply convoys that are exceedingly vulnerable to interdiction by the ukrainian forces. and that is where the ukrainians have an advantage. nick: and the

nancy, nick, i want to ask you about the city mario poll, ukrainian visuals. say that more than 2500 residents of the city have been killed so far. what do we know about the situation inside that city tonight? its dia i was speaking to a young man earlier today, basically was impossible to ring him by normal telephone connection. but you have generator and was able to occasionally get some into that. so he was sending me a voice messages. and he was telling me about situation where lots people are having to basically break into shops to find food, to eat. where most people who didn't have generators hadn't had power or heat for days on end. what he was in the public town. it's even closer to the russian soldiers in the far end. so even to him, getting to those evacuation buses that we had today was going to be pretty much unrealistic. he was saying that the him, the scariest thing wasn't the fighting which now got used to where shooting and kind of mortify during the day just become the norm and then allowed a more dangerous kind of weapons being used at night

n nick paton walsh and at the white house, cnn kaitlan collins. i just want to give you a broader look at the day from cnn's kristen fisher. >> russia is broadening its targets with new air strikes hitting the western city of lviv which previously had been largely spared. the mayor confirming missiles hit near the airport. the city is just over 40 miles from the border with poland and nato country and lviv has been a haven for refugees fleeing the conflict for a stop on the way to europe. and russia is not letting up on the capital kyiv with new strikes on the northern residential district, ukrainian emergency services say one person died after remains of a downed missile set fire to a residential building. in the northeast, fires broke out in this massive market in the city of kharkiv after it was shelled by russian forces. city officials say one rescue worker died. in the southern city of mariupol, 130 people have been rescued from that makeshift shelter bombed by russian forces. a theater with the russian word for children written beside the bu

during of a closer, nick, what about your safety? as a journalist, we've heard about report sofa attacks on media crews over the past few days. i think for now we're still the very privileged position compared to ordinary ukraine civilians are our kind of press bosses and our cars are all covered in science. thank press of the most part we get looked let through a checkpoint without too much of an issue. but they're happy in these wearing reports from the west of the key and also from southern ukraine of jealous, seemingly having been targeted in spite to me because of having that cause marked as being for jealous. i think the ukranian side for it. so i definitely knows that having intentionally to here is something that they should welcome because it draws attention to the plight of ukrainian civilians. i think that's not the case for the russian army, but for now we feel like we can do our job. and i think definitely the detention should be on ukraine, civilians who don't have the kind of support the most intentional media would ha

claire: correspondent nick connolly, thank you for that update. the united states has rejected an offer by poland to give washington its fleet of biter jets, opening the way for transfer to ukraine. kevin has been calling for the dutch kyiv has been calling for these jets which the pilots know how to fly to help with the invasion. >> these are the warplanes warsaw wanted to put at washington's disposal. he have has been calling on countries to provide them with jets there pilots are trained to fly. they are sending them to the airbase in western germany where the u.s. could send them to ukraine. >> such a serious decision when handing over planes must be madness and taken unequivocally we all of the north atlantic appliance. dutch alliance. this will be taken such a decision and today it is a nader's hands, in the hands of the americans. -- nato's hands and the americans. >> secretary of state antony blinken said this plan presented has issues. >> the prospect of fighter jets at the disposal of the unites its government parting from the nato base

it's crossed now to our corresponding economy, who's in the capital, keith nick? good evening to you. let's start with the situation in my a poll where the cease fire has been broken yet again. what can you tell us? was increasingly desperate situation there for hundreds of thousands of people. this is a big city that is now surrounded from the north, from the east, from the west, and the see the south. well, there's no, you can't help coming there. and there are russian forces in that see of as of so this is desperate. this was always kind of clear from a ukraine, would you that this would be the key city in that part of the country in the dumbass that this was a key ukrainian base, very close to those self proclaimed separatist areas and crucial for ukrainian morale that it be kept now with this is the 2nd attempt to try an organized circle to monitoring corridor. get people out while the shelling stops and again list the ukrainian side says this is down to russian shelling not allowing this to happen. this is a very old fashioned conflict. this is not a 21st ce

nick: it is dire. i was speaking to a young man earlier today, it was impossible to ring him by a normal conduction -- connection, but he had a generator and he sent me voice messages. he was telling me that people are having to breaknto shops to find food to eat, and people without generators have not had power or food for days. he was closer to the russian soldiers on the far end, so even him, getting to the evacuation buses was going to be unrealistic. he was saying for him, the scariest thing wasn't the fighting, which he has gotten used to, the shooting during the day has become the norm, interest weapons at night. -- dangerous weapons at night. he was worried about losing the generator, because as long as he was able to keep some connection with his family, he could deal with the situation. but now he's facing the prospect very soon of russian troops closing in, and the last message of infra structure being lost, and as a young man, he is at the bottom of the list of those to be taken out. brent:

as nick, it's good to see you. i want to start with the some of these reports that we're seeing that the evacuation roots out of ukrainian cities are leading into russia and bellows. that hasn't been confirmed yet, but what would that mean will receive that would be a kind of a for now, seemingly unlikely scenario. this is something that is on paper. obviously, russia wanted to show that it is not trying to cause damage to ukraine. civilian population, we've hurdle that rhetoric from the criminal, talking about ukraine's brother nation. even though russia obviously willing to use considerable force, not just guess ukraine army, but against ukrainian civilians in recent days. i think it's very unlikely this is going to get off the ground. we've seen a lot less ambitious plans for humanitarian corridors, out of marable, in the far east of the country, which is now surrounded on 3 sides with the c on the other. and 2 attempts to organize a temporary cease fire to let civilians have failed. ukrainian side has accused t

nick, i'm sorry, we lost your signal there for a short time. >> reporter: there we go. coming back. >> hey, nick. we're with you. you were talking about mykolaiv. >> reporter: sorry, thank you. yes. so, yes, absolutely. what you're seeing now is the police sirens and what's been the police lights, what's been devastating is how utterly blacked out and silent this whole place has been, so the regional governor said if you want to contribute, bring a share tire to an intersection now and leave it there. and so we saw pretty much from dusk, people bringing their tires to the crossroads all around us here and just random cars turning up and dumping them in piles and then matter of hours later, the same regional governor said to the population, you've all been incredible. you've managed to fill up every intersection with spare tires. don't set them on fire until i give the order, and then only do so where i tell you. and that's been an extraordinary change for a man who was sort of celebrating having pushed the russian military back out of the international airport just 24 h

nick with the latest from kyiv. thank you. question. should displaying this symbol that you see on the door there, should it be illegal? german lawmakers are considering banning the use of symbols that express support for russia's invasion of ukraine and the letter z is widely associated with vladimir putin's war efforts. it's a common sight on russian military vehicles and pro-social media accounts. german intelligence agencies say that the letter has already been used at pro-war rallies here in the country. >> the letter c as such is of course not forbidden -- the letter z is not forbidden. but its use can mean approval of the war of aggression can be prohibited according to article 140 of germany's penal code. the russian war of aggression on ukraine is a crime, those who public he approve of it can make themselves liable to prosecution. -- publicly approve of it. brent: here is dw's local correspondent explaining what this ban could mean in practice. reporter: in practice, it means that it can be considered a legal to express your s

nick: nato and the u.s. have provided ukraine with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons just in the last few weeks. as you just heard, ukrainian soldiers credit this aid in helping them resist the much larger russian army. how have they done that? and will the additional assistance president biden announceyesterday change things on the ground? to discuss that, we turn again to retired lieutenant general doug lute, who had a 35 year career in the army, served on the national security council staff in the george w. bush and obama administrations, and was president obama's ambassador to nato. welcome back to the program. president biden's announcement yesterday was the largest single military infusion to ukraine since the war began. for the first time, it includes, because he drones with a six mile range and can explode on impact. it inclus a thousand antitank javelins you can see here. ukrainian soldiers have used these effectively to pick off russian tanks that have bunched up on roads. what is th

nick mueller. nick is certainly a visionary, and his vision and drive were central to the founding of the museum, the institute for the study of war and democracy. today we've talked all about war and democracy and its implications as we move forward, and, of course, for this international conference. because the word on the street, it was nick's idea to have an international conference to begin with. again, it's about vision and mission and then the ability to carry that forward. so nick is going to lead this round table discussion. i was told the table is not round. sorry about that. they're pretty sharp up here already. but, you know, it's about how world war ii is remembered, portrayed, perceived in various monuments, venues and forums, but particularly here in this. and so we include dr. john marrow and rich frank again. thanks, comrades, again, for shouldering this burden. we're joined by two more experts, dr. alex richie, the co-chair of history and international studies and the convener of

nick connelly reporting there from care. nick, thanks very much. i was russia continues, it's assault on ukraine. the united states has indicated it's looking into ways for poland to supply fighter jets to ukraine, u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish its own stocks. if warsaw decides to send you crime fighter jets from its own flate pilots and in the ukrainian air force are already trained to fly the soviet aeroplanes opening and made the comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbor, moldova, we are, we're looking actively now at the question of aeroplanes, the poland they provide to, to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill should pull and decide to produce those are 2 hours of supply those plants with brain cancer. whitman, now he's a historian and retired general of the german army. mr. whitman, welcome to day w. so the u. s. saying, holland could supply possibly supply ukraine with plains, but how would that be received by vladimir putin? what russia see thi

make thanks me 14 nick economy and keep as nick said, fighting is getting closer to the ukrainian capital. the ton of air pin just outside keith has been badly hit. people trying to flee were instead caught up and shelling and forced to dive for cover. oh, this video captures the moment a more to blast, hits the town of a pin people and making a desperate dash to safety. taking only what they can carry. residents climb over a bombed out bridge, praying they make it out before the shelling returns. not everyone does it's risky to leave, but perhaps riskier to stay. the city's infrastructure has been decimated by days of fighting, leaving residents without hate electricity and water supplies, a running thin station in full, and there is no love for stability physical. if you knew any supply, ah no red, no milk, no eggs, no nothin. and to all the gems threes close to and thermal ukrainian or authorities say the russian army has stepped up its shelling of residential areas. russian forces blew up the railway station here. so now ambulances and vans are being used to evacuate people to me by k

nick, is that the case? definitely, and people here will tell you that since the beginning of the war late february, a month ago, europe alone has transferred about 20000000000 euros to russia for coal, oil and gas. the same time ukraine is received just about 4 to 5000000000, so you can see in terms of the order of scale there, russia are getting a lot of money to pay for this military campaign. and also that is a priority here. now in ukraine, they say that the sanctions or russian banks and other russian businesses is all well and good, but it's not enough to force the criminal to really stop this campaign. the only thing that will help now is in ball going to media, and those transfers of huge amounts of character. well, on the other hand, russia has barely budged on its demands on ukraine, including the key, recognized at the self proclaimed republics in add to nat scandal. hands is that a red line? zalinski is willing to cross nick i think for now it's a definite no, he's talked about maybe being open

good evening to you, nick. i'm the situation at the can in the capital the moment. can you tell us a bit more about him? here is basically a ghost city right now. even before the few you barely saw any called out on the streets, mainly of the journalist and police or me certainly armed checkpoints all along the main good about the key places you know me see people out enjoying the weekends . sand bags, anti tank kind of insulation to different kinds. lots of passport checks of return . it's such a transform basically in the space of 10 days, i think there are still quite some number of them here. there's been a things in exodus and lots of families, especially women and children have left. but there are more people around behind the curtains trying to strip this out. then you would think 1st sites supermarket still open. they're not totally empty for now you can get most things, power, mobile, phone networks, those things are also available. but there's definitely that is unfortunately having to get used to this fence of being under threatened being encircled almost

nick, for days you've been talking about the growing humanitarian crisis. give us an update. >> yeah, so we are now seeing 1.5 million people flee from ukraine, families choosing to leave their homes with only what they could carry, drag their children across borders. 900,000 of them have entered poland. and what we're also seeing is something extraordinarily difficult to watch-- families who are leaving their homes getting shelled by russians as they are fleeing from their homes. there's a suburb in kyiv that has been the epicenter of some of the attacks around the capital, and there are families who were hit by mortars, children, mothers killed today. these are famies who were trying to flee. some of the biggest bombardments get into kyiv and then therefore head to the west, where we are and out to safety. they never made it, unfortunately. >> sreenivasan: how long is volodymyr zelensky planning for this to continue? >> unfortunately, the word out from most of western officials is that this will take months, if not years. those are the words from the depu

that where we joined the w, corresponded nick connelly, welcome nick. a cave saw shelling over night. just give us an idea of conditions there. now while i'm on the northern edge of kia close to where those russian troops are close enough for russian artillery to strike the 9 story apartment block behind me, you can see some of the destruction and the chaos wrought here are pretty extraordinary scenes. neighbor neighbors here, just kind of looking on in the day, taking pictures kind of not quite able to believe that, you know, a, then that this kind of destruction has now been meet it out on them. and they're part of the world through. so to have the media circus here, everyone trying to make sense of these pictures and send them to viewers around the world. am adults, people just try to salvage what they can? lots of the air staircases are all destroyed. people are witching down suitcases bags from their balconies trying to get out what they can and as a clean out clean up operation happening behind me. pretty exciting, given the fact that we can still

and for more, let's bring in the w correspondent, nick connelly, who's in his nick air ride sovereigns, were heard again in the morning. how was the night? well, i think error it sirens just all part of daily life. not only here, but in most big cities are in ukraine now in the 3rd week of war. and to be honest, lots of people have given up going down to their sellers finding a metro station every time they hear it. because basically, you couldn't get a look at 3 or dave without spending most of your time hiding. there are so many of these because some of these rockets are coming from belarus was very close. so the system is not able to identify mediately, which city, which direction does missiles are going to basically all cities in the kind of broader area that could be hit. have those soren. so basically it's pretty unspecific and yeah, obviously terrifying when you hear that and hear it on the ground when you hear it on the radio when you're driving around the town. um. but i think it's something that looks ukrainians got used to. we have been hearing some big bangs, it's difficult

nick, how is the situation right now in cave? well, here in downtown and where i am now, it is pretty calm. if nervy, there's definitely worry in people's faces. the few people you do see out on the streets going to do some shopping. we've huddled as reports of attempt by russia to kill present in the landscape and lots of sleeper agents, which indeed, it seems to be justified that those 2 days were lots of people basically turned up nowhere. people who had been faced and sometime before the war started and had weapons, and we're trying to keep stabilized iteration. most of the rest of it is called worrying the 2nd suspicion of strangers. you here go had a band and that seems to be ukraine and anti missile, and she aircraft systems working. so that is still in operation. but obviously $25.00 comes right now. and it seems when the report extraordinary suffering, active fighting, even people trying to leave being told and all the basic services power all down. so she's very close. it's very tangible. and this is really a break. ukr

well, they doubly correspondent nick conley joins us now from the ukrainian capital. keith nick, what's the situation on the ground there? here in care of it is very, very quiet. basically any see soldiers and journalists and occasional local out trying to get some food from soup august that still open. but it's city that unlike marapoo, unlike hockey, has yet to see the kind of bigger air raids and destruction to a civilian accommodation. and it's partly down to better antea croft protection here. and also a seemingly an attempt by the russians to try and circle kia before they start those attacks. and serious, we have russian troops in the northeast. the city in the north west about 25 clumps away from where i am now. and it a pin that suburb that scene some of the worst destruction think most viewers will have seen that destroyed bridge. people trying to get out people dying civilians dying, trying to get out with their families and whatever bags they have am on them. but it's a city that space expecting worse to come in in the next few days. in what is already a d
