chemical weapons. >> the director of the cia warned that he's worried putin might use a tactical nuclear weapon in this fight. are you worried? >> not only me. i think all of the world, all the countries, have to be worried. because you know that it can be not real information. but it can be true. because when they begin to speak about one way or another, battles, or involved enemies, or nuclear weapons or some chemical issues, chemical weapons, they should, they could, i mean, they can. for them, lives of the people, that's nothing. that's why. should think, not be afraid. i mean, don't be afraid. be ready but that is not a question to ukraine. and not only for ukraine, for all the world. i think so. >> a tactical weapon is a low yield nuclear device, smaller and strategic nuclear devices, but still highly deadly. for its part, the kremlin is using the veiled threat of unpredictable consequences, unquote, if american military support of ukraine continues. the warning came in what is known in diplomatic circles, basically an official but strongly worded note. a source familiar with it said it could signal a more aggressive russian posture against the u.s. and nato as the war drags on. only no, this is new support for ukraine's claim it sank russia's black sea flagship, the moskva. a senior defense official said it is their assessment that two ukrainian anti-ship missiles hit the cruiser, sinking it. we'll talk about the impact on the war that could have. it is significant with retired army four star general wesley clark. also tonight, even as russia intensifies its attack on the east, we are learning more about the did he agree of atrocities. the national police staying bodies of more than 900 civilians, 900, have been recovered in the kyiv area just in the days since russian forces retreated. in his address to his country tonight, he told ukrainians, and these are his words, maybe you somewhere in russia cruelty is respected. but in ukraine, it is despised and punished. even in places under russian bombardment, that cruelty is being eased by neighbors bravely helping neighbors. last night, clarissa ward brought us a story of an 86-year-old woman named lydia. i want to show you a portion. her report with a warning, it is truly heart-breaking. as you watch it now and as you'll see in a moment, lydia remarkably is safe tonight. >> reporter: volunteer igor spends his days visiting the elderly and disabled. today he is checking in on 86-year-old lydia. petrified and alone, he has yet to find an organization willing to come and evacuate her. when there is no electricity and it is so dark and there's shelling, she says, you can't imagine how scary it is. she tells us she recites prayers to get through the night. i never imagined that my end would be like this, she says. you can't even die here because there's no one to provide a burial ceremony. for igor, it is agony not to be able to do more. i promise you, he says. i will help you to be evacuated. as we leave, lydia is reluctant to say goodbye. it is terrifying to live through this time. to do it alone is torture. it is so nice to see real people, she says. probably it is going to get worse. >> one of the many faces of the war right there. clarissa ward is in dnipro tonight. at the white house, kaitlan collins, and in kyiv where he spoke with the ukrainian president, jake tapper. let's begin with clarissa. one of the remarkable aspects, despite the millions who have fled, there are ten of millions who have stayed where they live in their homes. we were able to find lydia again today. how is she doing? [ silence ] >> reporter: pretty heart broken. the windows were blown out from glass nearby. it was very cold in there. she's alone, in a wheelchair, she's terrified. and it just wasn't clear that she was really in a position to care for herself at all. we were able, following a huge outcry from people all over the world who saw our story, to help get her out of that town today, and she is now safely nearby to where i am. take a look. lydia thought this day would never come. after weeks of horror, she waits outside her apartment to be evacuated. >> reporter: so we're here at the big heart living facility. we're just waiting for lydia to arrive. she's been driving for some hours. we're excited to see her. here she is. >> good to see you. >> we got her out! >> yeah. >> reporter: lydia greets cameraman scottie mcwindy. it is our old friend, she says. i'm so glad to see you again. after we left lydia thursday, there was an outpouring from people who wanted to help. we managed to connect volunteers to a care home in the relative safety of dnipro. leaving lydia alone in her apartment was incredibly tough. to see her safe is a huge relief. today i will finally feel calm, she says. this is so important. thank you. her journey was far from easy. she is saying there was a lot of shelling this morning. it was terrifying. it took six long hours to get here but she made it. i am so lucky, she says. safe and comfortable. at long last. now, lydia's son actually lives in russia. she told us that he doesn't yet know that she is safely out of that front line town. she homes to be able to get through to him tomorrow. it just illustrates the pain and challenge for so many families because so many russians have lived in ukraine and so many ukrainians have lived in russia. the two countries have been so intertwined for so many years. now families are finding themselves torn apart, separated and unable to be with each other and to look after each other. >> and targeted, frankly. there is been so much evidence of russian shelling. not just apartment buildings, et cetera, but like you i've heard accounts for some time of deliberate shelling of these humanitarian corridors. lydia seemed to have the same experience on her way out. yes. at one stage they had to pull over because the shelling was so ferocious and they had to wait in a safe house for a couple of hours until it was to know to move on. when we asked people, why are you still here? why haven't you evacuated? people said, we're afraid to evacuate. we know these buses that people are evacuating on frequently come under attack. and we saw that today in the donbas region. and we saw it today. these guys do not have helmets and bullet-proof vests. they are going out there every single day, risking their lives to try to ferry people to safety. and today once again, a bus load of volunteers came under fire as they tried to evacuate people. you can imagine the effect that that has on the morale of people who would be considering trying to flea. >> no question. a helmet and a bullet-proof vest. they won't save your life in these circumstances. we've also seen evidence of this in recent weeks. do these evacuations, together with deliberate shelling of civilian areas, literally raising. cities, do they appear to be part of a russian plan? not just destroy them but emthem? >> if you look at the new general in charge, nicknamed the butcher of syria. and you look at the tactics that they were using. primarily, from the air, from the skies. bombardment really targeting ordinary civilian life. when i was in syria, i saw a fruit market blown up before my eyes. they were hitting schools, courthouses, hospitals. the natural effect of that is that you completely demoralize the local population. ordinary civilians receive the message loud and clear that you cannot live a normal life in these places. and that does have an effect on the battlefield. and it does petrify people and it does change the tone and tenor of any given conflict. it comes down to the choices people who live here are being forced to make. do they stay? risk their lives? being constantly bombarded? do they try to live without the proper infrastructure, without money to look after themselves. simply put, these people don't have any good options. and lydia is just one woman of very many vulnerable people who are still stranded in their homes alone tonight. >> millions of them. and the through line from chechnya to syria to what we're seeing in ukraine today. thank you. more now on what it is like in a strategic southern ukrainian city where there has been heavy bombardment since early in the invasion, and now it appears to be growing. civilian areas including using cluster civilians which are just deadly. >> reporter: the cluster of explosions jolted this residential neighborhood in mykolaiv yesterday morning. some people were walking their dogs in a park at the time. one of the munitions struck just feet away from an orthodox church. you can see the impact spot of one of the munitions that went off this morning. as you look around here, you can see the impact and the damage done to this church here as well. multiple people were killed and more than a dozen others injured. paramedics treated victims on the scene. across the street, under the shattered windows of an apartment building, this man told us he helped drag two injured people into a store for safety. >> translator: the noise. the noise of rockets flying and explosions. that's what i saw and heard when i was in the shop. people ran into the store and i saw people scared. i saw people dropping to the ground from explosions. >> reporter: the sounds of explosions inside the city started around mid morning and appeared to strike at least three different locations. mykolaiv authorities released this video of a private home burning after a rocket strike. mykolaiv strikes come as residents in southern ukraine are worried about russian retaliation for the sinking of the moskva warship in the black sea and the offensive in eastern ukraine. in recent days, cnn has witnessed long convoys of families fleeing russian occupied areas near mykolaiv. this bombing struck a densely populated area. she says she was brushing her hair when the bomb landed just outside her apartment window. the blast shattered the glass and shattered her sense of peace. did you think something was going to happen to you? i didn't think of anything, she tells me. i thought that was the end of the world. the recent attacks have also crippled parts of the infrastructure. the water has been out for three days, forcing hundreds of people to get water from a river and natural spring. this man evacuated his mother and plans to stay in the city to fight off the russians. how worried are you that the russians are getting closer? it worries me a lot, he tells me. that's why i sent my mother away. that's why we are getting ready. we are still working. if the russians are close, i will fight them. for now, residents are left to clean up the bloody aftermath and brace for the next attack. >> the courage and perseverance of these people. now with kaitlan collins at the white house, if i can begin with you, ed, odesa has been a prime target. you saw some of the shelling today. what kind of fighting is taking place right now and to what degree or extent on the western front of the war? >> reporter: that western front is about 35 miles away near the city of kherson. this is on the northern edge, entering the crimea peninsula. that is a place where russian forces have been able to send in military troops and all the reinforcements that are needed throughout the last 24 hours. we heard a long kind of steady drum beat of bombardment throughout the night. it is clear there seems to be a great deal of activity down along that edge of that city. and the question for these residents now is, is it something that, as russian forces are reinvigorating their push in the east, is this going to happen on this other side of the russian occupied areas. and that's the question that so many people in that city are fearful of right now. >> no question. russia this week said to formal protests, and what appeared to be a veiled threat with the shipments to the ukraine military. is russia building a case to begin attacking u.s. and nato weapons convoys? >> i think they're definitely concerned they could attack them. so far they've been uninterrupted but that's always been a concern for them. how quickly they can get this material, this military assistance to ukraine tlefrl don't really seem deterred from these warnings. what they heard from russia on tuesday. it was the next day that president biden came out and announced this $800 million package they're senting to ukraine, or told the first shipments should arrive by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. and this is a package that includes a lot heavier duty than the packages we've seen come from the white house. it has the helicopters in it. it has hundreds more of the switchblade drones. it has artillery systems included. they don't seem deterred by it. i think they are concerned they could be going after weapons packages. they are very effective. we know they've helped fight back against the russians, this shows they are worried about what the u.s. is giving to ukraine. >> no doubt. it has had an impact. where you are, it is a choice to evacuate or to stay. some people don't have a choice. how do they make those decisions? what are they most worried about? >> this is the thing that has been rather striking to me. it's been several days. very close to the front line. and there is a sense of resolute steadfastness of people there wanting now not to evacuate. they say, i'm not going anywhere. this is my home, my land. i'm not going anywhere. in a shelter, you might meet someone who just escape kherson and they describe the horrors of living in these areas occupied by russian forces. they fled. they couldn't take it anymore. thats the two sides of it that they are having to face right now. >> and many people who stayed lost their lives. thank you. coming up next, we'll have more from jake tapper's conversation with volodymyr zelenskyy. the impact as he sees it of the sinking of russia's black sea flagship. the moskva. later, we'll ask retired army four star general wesley clark to weigh in on the military significance of ukraine's achievement, as well as what russian retaliation might look like. ...but you can find her, and millions of other tatalend pros, right now on upwork.

of my personality, it's artistic. join the millions of people who are finding new ways to grow this year at miracle-gro.com. for the very real threat that was posed of nuclear weapons, it was about the possible that they might be used. they stride to forestall it and they succeeded, thankfully. strategic forces went on and off alert. but a world leader coming right out and saying as volodymyr zelenskyy did say, that we should be prepared for the possibility that russia might use tactical or battlefield weaponry, it would have been alarming. it was not only talked about either when he spoke with jake tapper, anchor of "the lead," co-anchor of state of the union. first i want to ask you. we've watched the ukrainian president hunker down for weeks now in the face of a devastating russian invasion in the air assault, including on the capital. must be fearful. it has to be very difficult to keep up his energy and continue to run the country. the defense of the country. i wonder what his mood was like today. >> reporter: his mood was, you know, it was a very wide ranging conversation. so there were lots of topics that we discussed. we started talking at the beginning about our children. i asked how his kids were doing. and he and i found common cause that both of our teenage daughters have limited respect for their dads. then generally, when it came to subjects beyond that, he was intellectual, strategic, he was political, he was diplomatic, he was emotional at times when discussing casualties and the trauma that his people have been through. so he was pretty impressive, i have to say. >> tell us more about what -- >> russian warship, the moskva, the one that ukrainian soldiers told to f off. sank. the russians say, and the russians are liars, but the russians say, it sank on its own. can you offer some clarity and evidence as to what happened to that ship? >> translator: we know that it does not exist anymore. for us, it is a strong weapon against our country. so its sinking is not a tragedy for us. i want you and the rest of the people to realize that. the less weapons the russian federation that attacked our country has, the better for us. the less capable they are. this is important. and about what happened to it, the history will tell. >> do you have any idea how many ukrainian soldiers or ukraine civilians have been killed? >> i know. i know about -- >> how many? >> translator: as of now, based on the information we have, because it is very difficult to talk about civilians. since south of our country where the towns and cities are blocked, kherson, mariupol, further east, the areas to the east. we just don't know how many people have died in that area that is blocked. let's take it as an example. as other towns are empty, they are all destroyed. there are no people there. so it is difficult to talk about it now. as to our military, out of the numbers we have, we think that we lost 2,500 to 3,000. in comparison with the russian military who lost about 19 to 20,000. that's the comparison. but we have about 10,000 injured. and it is hard to say how many will survive. >> i'm sure you've seen the video of the ukrainian mom finding her son. and her sorrow. her crying. it is just devastating to hear. and you have seen a lot of videos like that. what is it like for you as the president of this country to see those videos, to hear the crying of the moms? >> translator: this is the scariest i've seen in my life in principle. i look at this first of all as a father. it hurts so, so much. it is a tragedy. it's suffering. i won't be able to imagine the scale of suffering of these people. of this woman. it is a family's tragedy. it is a disaster. the dreams and the life you've just lost. we live for our kids. that's true. kids are the best we were given by god and by family. it is a great pain for me. i can't watch it as a father. only because all you want after this is revenge and to kill. i have to watch as the president of the state where a lot of people have died and lost their loved ones and there are millions who want to live. all of us want to fight. we all have to do our best for this war, not to be endless. the longer it is, the more we would lose. all these losses would be just like that one. >> zelenskyy articulated as well, and we mentioned this earlier in the broadcast, his fear that russia might resort to nuclear or chemical weapons. he articulated something that officials have been speaking about privately for some time but it has become more of a public warning. and i would understand for zln, is there something specific that makes him believe that? is it a far fixed possibility? or is it something he's seen that makes him believe it is more likely? >> reporter: when i asked him about the cia director bill burns' statement that he was concerned that putin out of desperation might resort to using a tactical or low yield nuclear weapon, zelenskyy, first of all he answered in english which was notable because most of his answers were in ukrainian. this was something he definitely wanted people from the english speaking world to hear from himself. he said it was a father for the whole world. not just for him but for everyone. something that he was not afraid of but prepared for. he didn't say we have intelligence on this. he just said based on how vladimir putin behaves, in terms his complete and utter disregard for human life, it is something that cannot be ruled out. so i think he takes it very seriously. if he has other reasons to believe i am, i'm sure whatever cia director burns learned, they have probably passed on in some form to the ukrainians. beyond that is just his witnessing what putin and the russian forces are doing to his country already. and thinking, why wouldn't he use a nuclear weapon? >> a good point. to your point, many thousands of civilians have already been killed there. and not by accident, it appears. it appears to be a deliberate strategy of the russian military. jake tapper, thank you for sharing the interview. >> thanks. a quick reminder, you can see the full interview this weekend on state of the union. sunday

as a result of on board fire. but officials believe that ukrainian missiles, two of them, sank the ship. a russian air strike on kyiv today was likely retaliation for the sinking. and commentators on russian state television are expressing their anger at the sinking, calling for the bombing of kyiv. >> translator: the warship moskva is a cause for war 100%. it is our flag. there is nothing to think about. there has to be a response. we should bomb kyiv. then they won't come. that's what needs to be done. >> much to discuss tonight with jill doherty, a professor, and general wesley clark, a senior fellow at ucla. great to have you both. on jill, if i can begin with you. it is notable, right? the official russian story is it was an on board fire. this was not due to enemy fire here. when you hear state tv really calling for blood in response here. it seems that, should we expect the official story to change on this? that russia will grant this was a loss in the war? >> you never know. but right now, i would say, a lot of russian propaganda is internally contradictory. so you heard that man kind of slightly deranged approach. and i'm serious. i've watched it a lot of him. even the state media don't seem to be buying the official story. hence, you had. in show and in another one, this person who that, well, the ukrainians were hunting that ship. it was planned in advance. now, of course, if it was ukrainians, that's not the party line. and then the other part is, it is highly humiliating for the russians to admit that the ukrainians could have done this. so then the narrative shifts to, it must have been nato. it must have been the united states. and that's where, it all goes back to the united states. >> i want to get to that point. it speaks to the potential escalation here. before we do, general clark, the moskva, this was an air defense cruiser. it is supposed to provide air defense for the black sea fleet. but apparently, its own missile defenses could not protect itself. i wonder how significant a revelation that is for just how advanced the russian navy is. >> that's a good question. you would think that they could handle this. they were apparently distracted by a ukrainian drone overhead. and a ship can't defend itself against more than one threat at a time is extremely vulnerable. normally a ship like this would operate in a formation. so there would be multiple ships working together. possibly the russians were a little lax on keeping their guard up. they may not have the right training and drills for this ship. but for whatever reason, it speaks highly to the ukrainians' ability to target and build a system like neptune which went out and took ship down. >> so a question here. we hear that on state tv. and you start to hear it from statements from the russians. taking aim, not just at ukraine but nato. nato articling ukraine here. and then state tv talking about revenge, right? i wonder, do you fear that russia in the propaganda, that it is beginning to build a case for striking at left a u.s.-nato weapons convoys, if not actual military targets? >> i think there are indications of that. some of this, like russian tv. even though these talk shows seem kind of crazy. they're used as trial balloons. and one person will say something and the kremlin is constantly polling and looking at how people react to these shows. and they can release a little trial balloon about nato. and then it could grow. and then be repeated. so i think there is aer erconce of truth in what you're saying. i don't know where it could go but it could develop that way. it could go as one man on another show, i think it was the same person said, what are we fighting again? what is it called? and they had to remind him. special military operation. but the thing is, it is war. but if russian defines it as war, then aware in a very big step forward. and if it is war, then it is a leap to nato. >> including a national draft. then you're talking about much more military personnel. i wonder on the battlefield, what is the loss of the flagship mean for russia in terms of next military steps? because there has been a great deal of concern on the u.s. and ukrainian side about a sea borne saul. if your flagship can't even stay above water off the coast of ukraine, is that off the table for now? >> i wouldn't think it is totally off the table, no. i think they're concerned because there are strong defenses around odesa. and it is not a great area for amphibious assaults. it is not a lot of broad sandsy beaches there to get a shore on. this is a tough target to go after. they know it and they're probably not ready to take that risk yes. >> well, we should note that moscow was involved in the shelling of snake island, another famous encounter in the early stages of the war. thank you both. coming up next, a cnn exclusive. a series of revealing text messages from donald trump's biggest supporters on capitol

discovered there was no evidence. one of them tried to warn meadows the big lie could back fire for the president badly. more from cnn congressional correspondent ryan. >> reporter: senator mike lee of utah, and congressman chip roy of texas. two of former president trump's most loyal defenders in congress. but in dozens of private texts to chief of staff mark meadows, a picture emerges on how both went from aiding the election results to ultimately warning against it. the texts obtained by cnn show how they were trying to help initially. by the end, raise concerns to trump's top deputy about his campaign's effort to stand in the way of the certification of the 2020 election. we're driving a stake in the heart of the federal republic, roy warned meadows in a text message on january 6th that is in possession of the january 6th she can committee. historic warning came after weeks of begging meadows and concerns that the lack of specific evidence was a really problem for the trump legal team. we must urge the president to tone down the rhetoric, he wrote to meadows on november 9th. roy did believe there were problems with the election. in early december, he went to the house floor, ill ploorg his colleagues to look into fraud. >> american people are raising legitimate questions and this body is missing in action and doing nothing. >> reporter: like roy, senator mike lee started out hopeful that there was a path forward to challenge the election results. in early november, he touted the work of sydney powell, encouraging meadows to give her an audience with the president. calling her a straight shooter. less than two weeks later, powell appeared with rudy giuliani in what would be an infamous press conference where the duo made wild, baseless claims about the election. >> president trump won by a lands slide. we are going to prove it. >> reporter: lee then changed his tune, calling powell a lie bill and turning his focus to john eastman. lee asked for a set of alternate electors. when that plan fizzled, he decided he was no longer on board. he texted meadows, i think we're now past the point where we can speck anyone will do it without some directions and a strong evidentiary argument. both lee and roy ultimately chose not to join other republicans to join in certifying the election. >> our job is to open. then count. open. then count. that is it. that's all there is. >> reporter: privately, they were even more emphatic about the fool's error the president's team was on. the president should call everyone off. it is the only path. while lee argued it was on dangerous constitutional growled. three days before january 6th, he warned, i know only this will end badly for the president unless we have the constitution on our side. they did not. but the trump team and a group of loyal republicans went ahead with their plan anyway. as it became clear their effort would not be successful, hundreds of trump supporters stormed the
