South korean lawmakers in the coming hours. This comes as satellite images taken friday show a military convoy eight miles long east of kharkiv that appears to be moving south. Ukraines president says victory on the battlefield will not be possible without increased international support. Translator we think this will be a new wave of this war. We dont know how much russian weaponry there will be, but we understand there will be many times more than there is now. It all depends on how fast we will be helped by the United States. To be honest, whether we will be able to survive depends on this. I have 100 confidence in our people and in our armed forces, but unfortunately, i dont have the confidence that we will be receiving everything we need. Meantime, ukrainians trying to escape this conflict are increasingly at risk. As we saw with the russian strike in a traintation in kramatorsk, Officials Say the death toll has risen to 57. Almost 100 have been hurt. U. S. National security adviser Jake Sullivan says the attack look, in my opinion, the label is less important than the fact that these acts are cruel and criminal and wrong and evil and need to be responded to decisively. Cnn correspondents have spread out across the world covering this conflict from every angle. Paula hancocks in seoul, south korea. First, here is ed lavandera reporting in from the port city of odesa. Reporter on monday, we expect to see a significant meeting between the chancellor of austria, karl nehammer, and Vladimir Putin in moscow. The austrian chancellor announcing this visit on sunday, and he also says that as the country remains militarily neutral, that they that the chancellor is calling for a ceasefire and a full investigation of war crimes. So that is a significant meeting. And this comes on a day where we see continued and sustained attacks in various parts of ukraine. First we heard about the military strikes at the airport in the city of dnipro, which is close to the front lines in Eastern Ukraine. Regional official theres in dnipro say the airport has essentially been decimated. The airstrip was struck by a missile several weeks ago, but the air strikes today apparently making ate total loss in that area. And were also hearing of significant attacks and explosions and bombings in the city of mykolaiv, which is just about 85 miles east of where we are here along the coast of the black sea and the city of odesa. And all of this really comes at a really significant time in this war in ukraine, where we are seeing Russian Forces regrouping, remobilizing as they begin what is expected to be a serious assault into ukraine from the east in the donbas region. And also, one other Significant Development today. Weve learned that the Russian Military has called on general alexander dvornikov, who was known as the butcher of syria who led a Ruthless Campaign of attacking civilians and bombings of civilian neighborhoods in that war in syria. Hes expected to continue leading the forces, Russian Forces into ukraine. And by all accounts, the concern here is that we will see a dramatic escalation of targeting civilians here in this country. And that is why youre seeing so many ukrainian officials urging civilians to evacuate some of these areas in Eastern Ukraine where the worst of the fighting is expected to take place in the weeks ahead. Ed lavandera, cnn, odesa, ukraine. Well, as much of this country braces for that major assault, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy repeatedly calling on World Leaders to come and support his country. The u. S. Has provided money as well as military aid and other critical resources. But some top lawmakers on capitol hill remain divided on whether thats enough. We have to be moving much faster, much more quickly, recognizing that the ukrainians now, given what theyve been able to do and how long theyve been able to fight and what theyve been able to inflict upon the Russian Forces, they need advanced weaponry. Well over a billion and a half dollars of military equipment, and thats flowing in day by day. All of the stingers and javelins and now the air defense stuff. All of that is happening. Were joined now by cnn military analyst colonel clayton. He is with us here in washington. Thank you for being with us again. We appreciate your time. I want to ask about this new field commander, Alexander Alexander dvornikov, his track record in particular, dropping barrels filled with chlorine, specializing in a scorched earth policy. It seems clear that putin has appointed a war criminal to take command of this war now here in ukraine and an already brutal conflict is about to get a lot worse. How does that play into a nay 9 deadline for russia to claim some sort of victory . Well, john, good to be with you again. This is a clear going for broke at this point. To do is to meet that may 9th deadline, they are appointing one of their most effective commanders, effective of course does not mean nice. It means somebody who has committed acts that many would consider to be war crimes, as you mention. Alexander dvornikov is somebody who has grown up in the tank business. He is a career army officer. About 60 years old, and he spent time not only in syria, but also in chechnya. And both of those areas are of course marked by a very brutal response to local conditions to local military situations. And its very clear that general dvornikov has no compunctions when it comes to exercising the power of our might. And that is what i think were going to see. Were going to see a very brutal campaign. And he is going to not stop at anything until he is directed by the Higher Authority to do so. A word of dvornikovs appointment as field commander came shortly after or around the same time as that missile strike on the train station in kramatorsk. Is it possible to know if he ordered that attack on defenseless civilians . Or is there now the expectation there will be a lot more attacks similar to that one . I think the expectation is that there will be similar attacks to the done in kramatorsk that we saw. But, john, its possible that he ordered it already because he is actually the commander of the Southern Military district in russia, and that is the military district that borders on the ukrainian border. So its possible that he was already in the chain of command for this strike on the train station. But if he wasnt, he certainly would have approved of it. Right. Just as a reminder, innocent men, women and children waiting for a train to leave the worst of the fighting, cut down and murdered. The russian attacks on the city of dnipro intensified on monday. The airport, one of the biggest in ukraine, has now been destroyed. How does that play into focusing their firepower in this area in kharkiv in the north to kerson in the south. It is kind of in the middle between kerson and kharkiv. I always thought that dnipro was a goal of the russians when they started this invasion, and now it seems that it is pretty clear that that is the case in fact. What theyre trying to do here, john, theyre trying to soften up the target. One of the things that dnipro was known for in military circles was a logistical staging area for Ukrainian Forces in the east. And the very fact that they went after the airport means that theyre going as much of the logistical infrastructure in dnipro as they possibly can. What that also means is that they are setting their sights on that city as a possible junction for forces to come in from the south as well as from the north. If they do that, if they meet in dnipro, they then would in essence cut the country in half right at that point. And that may very well be the russian war aim at this particular point in time. At least 16 russian commanders, four Lieutenant Colonels, five commanders, seven generals have been killed in this war, according to ukrainian sources. Is that an unusually high number . And what does it say . Well, for a western military, it would be an unusually high number. I also think its high for the Russian Military. Now the Russian Military has a bit of a different philosophy when it comes to putting their troops and their officers out front, especially their commanding officers. They tend to lead from the front, not that ours dont, but they end up doing things a little bit differently and tend to protect our troops and especially our commanders a bit more than they do. What is unusual about this is the fact that this loss of commanders seems very high considering the period of time that were dealing with. Its only been since february 24th and we already have a very high degree of loss in the Lieutenant Colonel and above ranks. And that very fact shows that the Russian Military believes that it needs these kinds of officers to lead their troops at the tactical level. It shows a lack of planning on their part, and it also shows an inability to use and trust their subordinate commanders. And that very fact makes it i think very difficult for them to continue these kinds of assaults. Theyll do it. Theyll continue to move forward, but at extremely high cost to their major to the main officers that they have, especially the battalion commanders and higher. And that very fact will hurt their leadership abilities and will also hurt their ability to maneuver in the field. Theyll be able to move, but they will be doing that at great cost to themselves. Colonel, thank you so much. We appreciate you being with us. You bet, john, absolutely. Lets go out now to paula. Always a pleasure, sir. Lets go back to paula in atlanta. Paula . Thanks for that. Ill pick it up from here. French voters have narrowed down their president ial candidates, and the incumbents are current president Emmanuel Macron and his far right rival Marine Le Pen. Frances interior Ministry Reports the current president won about 27 of sundays first round of voting, putting him in first place in what was a crowded field of about a dozen candidates. Le pen is in second with around 23 . The second round of voting in two weeks is set to be a rematch of the 2017 election. After the polls closed, centrist macron made his pitch, while the far right le pen made appeals to the mainstream. I want a france which inscribes itself in a strong europe, which continues to form alliances with great democracies to defend itself, not a france that exited from europe but have for its only allies the International Pop liss and xenophobes. Thats not us. People have spoken and gave me the honor to be qualified in the second round against the incumbent president Emmanuel Macron. Let me express to the millions of voters who expressed their trust in mimi sincerest gratitude. I acknowledge with humility all the responsibility that comes with it. So a repeat contest in france. Earlier i spoke with dominic thomas. He is the cnn and european news commentator and professor at ucla. He says both macron and le pen will need to overcome a few hurdles to win over the majority of the french public. You have to the right of macron, to the left of macron, over 30 of the vote. The big question is where does Emmanuel Macron turn, and where does Marine Le Pen turn. We already know that Emmanuel Macron has been endorsed by every candidate and with a relative number of votes, except for jeanluc, and mention him in a minute. And extreme right candidate who has already endorsed Marine Le Pen. Thats the great uncertainty along with the number of absentee voters. He got over 20 of the vote. What is so extraordinary about this, if you just put together one of the left wing candidates alongside him, you make up that million and vote shortfall. So in theory, he should have really made to it the second round. A and the conversation would have been very different. So the question moving ahead is who does Emmanuel Macron appeal to . Jeanluc has already told his followers not a single vote for le pen. So there is an uproad struggle for le pen trying to make those up. But the question will be for the incumbent. After five years in office, how deep can he go, and who is going to transfer his vote to him . And because those questions are being asked this time around, there is much more uncertainty over the outcome of this runoff stage. And, you know, its unclear how much this will feature into the election in terms of whats going on between ukraine and russia right now. But i am reminded that during the last election, le pen lobbied for putins support. She got it, along with a loan from russian financiers. They bankrolled a good portion of her campaign. How do you think this will feature in a vote right now, if at all . Its two sides of the coin. What we hope is there will be a debate between macron and between le pen there was no vote debate between them in the first round stage. Emmanuel macron is exceptionally strong on foreign policy. France is currently heading the european union. He has played a leadership role in a conflict around ukraine. And on other issues that have to with europe, whereas Marine Le Pen is lukewarm on europe, is absolutely determined to withdraw from nato, which seems absolutely extraordinary and seriously tainted by her longstanding relationships with russia, especially around russian finance and her refusal to back, for example, a ruschel energy embargo. Its on domestic issues that she can do very well, even though she does not have a reputation as being a great debater. That is where Emmanuel Macron now has to stand with the yellowjackets grievances, the gross mishandling as far as Public Opinion goes of the covid pandemic, his desire to increase the retirement age, cut back on social services and so on and so forth. Thats where he is exposed. And he is going to have to turn things around and convince the electorate that somehow or another over the next five years, he is the person to trust. There is one other person on foreign policy. Its deeply ironic that at this very moment in europe where we have this horrendous conflict playing out with discussions over democracy and autocracy, no matter what Marine Le Pen has tried to do to clear up her image, the fact nevertheless remains this is a far right xenophobic candidate. You vote for her, you get brexit. You vote for her, you get trumplike policies. This is not what europe needs right now. Dominic thomas, theyre setting the table for the upcoming second round of the french election. He said the big question is whether voters who sat out the first round will show up for the second. Sundays elections are significant abstentions with Voter Participation falling to a two decade low for a first round vote. It may be a sign of the french publics widespread d dissatisfaction in general with the current state of politics. Reporter sunday in paris. For many people in paris it was a laissez faire kind of day to lounge or get a drink at a cafe. There was one activity many people around the country decided to skip, voting in the first round of the countrys president ial elections. The candidates voted. 12 were in the running. But turnout for the rest of the country was less impressive. A french polling groups estimates less than 75 of voters cast their ballots, which would be the lowest turnout for a first round vote in 20 years. Some voters say they just couldnt relate to any of the candidates or their policies. No one who represents me. I think theyre disconnected and i think france is tired of this. And for those who did vote, some say it boiled down to a choice between consistency and change. This woman says she voted for incumbent president Emmanuel Macron. Im relatively satisfied with what he has done up until now. Were never 100 happy, but i think he has done a lot of good things. Reporter macrons high profile role as a mediator between russia and ukraine was a plus future some of his supporters. Well really need to have somebody who is wellpositioned in the International Landscape and the international discussions. Reporter but this woman says she wasnt satisfied with how the government handled the covid19 pandemic. Translator it is very important for me to vote because we want change. I want change because it has been two very difficult years. Reporter other issues like immigration and identity were major platforms for far right candidates like Marine Le Pen and hit home with some voters. With all these immigrants who come, france is now no longer us. Its them. Reporter others say it wasnt so much the issues that brought them out as much as it was their duty. Translator because there is see much people who fought for us to have the right to vote. So what does it take to wake up a little earlier to vote on time and express ones opinion . Reporter exit polls show macron and le pen will head to the second round of voting in two weeks. To have a shot at victory, both will need to convince the people who didnt show up sunday to not only vote on april 24th, but to vote for them.

A spokesperson says adams has no major symptoms and is now isolating. Its unclear where he contracted the virus, but he has attended several Public Events recently, including the Gridiron Club dinner washington on april 2nd. More than 60 people who were at that dinner have now tested positive for the virus, and that includes key officials like the u. S. Attorney general and the speaker of the house nancy pelosi. Meantime, in china, Officials Say the best way to fight surging covid infections is in their words to stay the course with the strict covid policy. Now so far thats meant multiple rounds of testing and the entire city of shanghai as well as mandatory quarantine and Government Centers for anyone testing positive. Residents arent happy with the measures with reports of protests and shortages around the city. Despite this, officials are ordering additional covid testing. Because of the severity of shanghais covid outbreak, we have already conducted several rounds of mass testing at this stage. Now its necessary to improve our strategy. We have a general overview of the situation, but we cannot say it is crystal clear. Further testing is needed until the situation gains more clarity. I want to bring in cnns anna coren who has been following the story from hong kong. You remind us so well that there is a lot of at stake here. As much as this lockdown is really a burden on the residents, what is at stake if these cases continue to rise . At the end of the day, paula, there would be countless debts. Some experts say there would be millions of debts if covid were to rip through Mainland China the way that it has done in the west. The reason for that is because people either havent been vaccinated or there isnt immunity in the community. And really, it comes to the fact that the Health System just would not be able to cope. And Mainland China is looking to what happened here in hong kong just over the last month or so where omicron arrived. Authorities were unprepared, and it did just rip through the community. It reached to 57,000 at its peak, daily peak. And the number of deaths that hong kong has seen, first world city with world class medical facilities, you know, the deaths weve seen wave has been almost 8,500 deaths. That is something china does not want to translate on the mainland. Political ly for xi jinping it would be catastrophic. He needs to maintain control. He does not want a crisis, a covid crisis undermining his authority. Of course, remember, he is seeking reelection a third term at the in the next couple of months, towards the end of the year. This is unprecedented. He does not want this to be overshadowed. He does not want social or political instability in his country. So let me read to you some of the commentary coming out of the staterun news media this morning, which really is a mouthpiece for the government. Xinhua says chinas medical system would risk collapse leading to enormous loss of life if it gives up on prevention and control. And then we have the global times, a leading expert in shanghai who is managing the covid crisis. She says that china should stick to dynamic zero covid policy rather than lie flat. The situation in hong kong also serves as a reminder to the mainland that is to be more cautious of omicron. There is so much at stake, paula. Yes, obviously the Health System. But also politically for china and xi jinping. Anna coren, thanks again for that sobering update as we continue to see the situation evolve in shanghai and elsewhere in china. Appreciate it. And we have this just in to cnn. Elon musk will no longer join twitters board of directors. Thats according to a tweet from the countrys ceo.

The latest satellite images show a nearly eightmilelong Russian Military convoy east of kharkiv. According to ukraines military negligence chief, theyre regrouping for assault on ukraines largest city. It underscores the urgent need for more international help. Translator but ukraine does not have time to wait. Freedom does not have time to wait. When tyranny launches aggression against everything that keeps peace in europe, action must be taken immediately. A Regional Military governor says even after a russian strike destroyed the airport in the city of dnipro, the area continued to be the target of russian firepower. No word on casualties as of yet. And the austrian chancellor is set to meet with the russian chancellor in moscow in the coming hours. Hell be the first european leader to meet facetoface with Vladimir Putin since the invasion began. The chancellor met with president zelenskyy and visited bucha on saturday where dozens of bodies of ukrainian civilians have been discovered after withdrawal of russian troops. 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 were 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 Defense minister on friday when he had a conversation with the Ukrainian Defense minister to set this up, to set up the address that will happen in a few hours, that he did ask for antiaircraft weapons, but the defense minister here in south korea said that that simply wasnt possible, saying for reasons of national security, saying for reasons of readiness that they wouldnt be able to do that. So certainly were expecting that to come up later on. Now there has been condemnation from the south korean side as to what russia is doing, the invasion, but it did come fairly slowly at the beginning. South korea did come under International Criticism for not joining the sanctions as quickly as many other countries around the world. But they have since caught up, and they have also sanctioned russian banks, for example and condemned what is happening. It will be interesting to see what exactly is called for from president zelenskyy this afternoon given the fact the south koreans have already rebuffed a request for weapons themselves. Now also, we know that president elect yoon sukyeol who will taking control on may 10th. He has also spoken to president zelenskyy. Once the war is over, he wants to meet and saying that he can offer practical cooperation. Of course south korea being in a unique position as having been invaded as well back in 1950 by north korean during the korean war. South korea also in a unique position in the fact it did have to rebuild almost from scratch following that war following the devastation much of the country was laid to dust after that war. So they have experience as well of accepting International Cooperation and trying to rebuild a country. So potentially that could be an area of cooperation. But, of course, that is for after the war, and nobody knows a this point when that is. John . I guess because thats shared history, if you like, a country being invaded, south korea was invaded by japan too for a very long period of time. It was occupied by the japanese. We have the north Korean Occupation as well. It does almost seem to be a shared background if you like. Is that something that zelenskyy can do to as he has done in other countries with their histories . Its a good question. And you certainly would expect him to. The fact that back in 1950 south korea had that surprise invasion from north korea. There were many countries who actually came to the physical help and support of south korea and got involved directly with the war and had boots on the ground. The United States, for example. So in that respect, there is a difference. The fact that many countries from around the world physically intervened to try and help south korea. Now clearly in ukraine, there is a lot of intervention. There is a lot of help and support, but it is not boots on the ground the way you saw here. So in that respect it is quite different. But they do have this similarity, and they have been invaded and they have managed to come through the other side. It may have been in the 50s, but those memories are still very, very fresh there for so many female in seoul and south korea. Paula, we know youll be on the story the rest of the day. We appreciate you being with us. Thank you. Well, pakistan could be hours away from a new Prime Minister. But the old one just isnt giving up the job just yet.

But the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. These outofstate corporations dont care about california. But we do. Stand with us. Pakistani lawmakers are moving ahead with plans to choose a new Prime Minister after ousting imran khan on sunday in a vote of no confidence. Khan is vowing to fight on and is calling on his supporters to take to the streets in protest. The famed cricketer has blamed the United States, saying washington wanted him booted from office. But the Biden Administration denies any involvement. Khan is accused of mishandling the economy and foreign policy. Crucially, though, he has also lost the backing of the countrys powerful military. Since independence in 1947, pakistan has yet to have any Prime Minister complete a full fiveyear term. For more on this, were joined by cnns sophia saffi. She is live for us in islamabad. Khan continues to call for his supporters to hit the streets. What impact will this kind of defiance have, if any in the days to come there . Paula, there are many who are saying that khan has weaponized this whole idea of a foreign conspiracy. There had been a vote of confidence, which inevitably ousted him. But that vote oz confidence was delayed and blocked on the ground. There was this foreign conspiracy which is now kind of become a specter haunting what khan said is going to come become and haunt the opposition, which has sent in the nomination papers for shahbaz sharif, the Opposition Leader believed to be voted in as the Prime Minister today. The numbers show that he is the person who is going to be voted in as the pm today. There have been massive protests across the country in all of the major cities. Khan had called for a to show the powers that be whether it be the opposition, whether it be the foreign nation that caused the intervention for him to be removed from office, to show them who how much backing khan actually has. There has been a lot of criticism of this, because previously khans government really clamped down on protests, on media, the journalist protest. There had been a hybrid kind of collaboration between khan, the pti government, khans government and the military. And in the days leading up to khans ousting, it was fairly obvious that that relationship had gone sour. Paula . Sophia, thanks for that.
