largely been spared from the russian assault. no civilian targets had previously been hit. this is quite a new development here. just last week the curfew in the city was relaxed, so were the people. there was certainly a feeling of that. this western city practically on nato's doorstep, about 40 miles from the border with poland. overnight there were strikes in dnipro and luhansk. the military governor in luhansk surging civilians to evacuate saying there are no safe places left in the region. >> officials say control over the city of kreminna has been lost. they say russian forces entered the town with a huge amount of equipment and as some residents tried to escape, the russians opened fire on their car, killing at least four. ukraine's president zelenskyy telling cnn they are not willing to give up territory in the eastern part of the country to end the war. he says it could change the whole course of the war. russian telling ukrainian fighters, lay down your weapons or be eliminated. that ultimatum rejected, yet another example of ukrainian resistance. today russian officials say mariupol, which is surrounded by russian troops, will be closed for entry and exit, and the men remaining there will be, quote, filtered out. let's bring in cnn's jim sciutto. he's live in lviv. jim, tell us what's happening behind you? what is the feeling in the streets after these missile attacks? >> reporter: what you have this morning is proof, evidence that russia maintains the capability to strike targets across the entire country here. the fighting increasingly concentrated in the east and the south. in fact, intensifying there. but russia still striking cities across the country including here in the west and maintaining an ability to do so, and that then proving once again that civilians, ukrainians living across this country face enormous risk. the death toll in lviv this morning, seven with about 11 wounded at this point. four targets hit, three of them military infrastructure, the other a tire factory. we went to one of the military targets this morning, and just as a measure of the nervousness here, soldiers here forced us or attempted to force us to go away, not to film it. there are laws in this country about that. one of the soldiers, so nervous about it, that he cocked his weapon as he shouted at us to get away. we did manage to get some images. of course, you have to respect ukrainian laws. it does show how the ukrainian military, frankly, is aware of the threat. they're concerned about follow-on strikes. there are with air raid signals that followed the initial strikes, but they're also worried about those images getting out there, that they can be used by russians for targeting or even targeting individual soldiers. it's the nature of the war right now, that while the fighting is focussed in the east and the south, the danger continues. >> what is the objective, do you think, jim, on the part of the russians. oh, this makes forces in the west have to stay in the west so they can't join the larger fight in the east or they're trying to scare the hell out of people. >> the latter absolutely. part of this war is to ter terrorize. you see it in a deliberate targeting, shooting at people even as they flee in attempt to use these humanitarian corridors. yes, absolutely explicitly to instill fear. also, as you say, the more the russians show the ability to strike across the country, the more they believe ukrainian forces will have to spread themselves around the country, to protect targets not just in one part where the fighting is focused in the east and the south. there's a military objective here and also, frankly, a psychological objective to scare people. that's a quality of this war that we see every day. >> jim, thank you so much for bringing that to us live from lviv. we appreciate it. the city of broefry located 12 miles from kyiv was hit by a rocket attack according to the town's mayor. he joined me earlier this morning. here is part of that interview. >> mayor, what can you tell us ability the impact of yesterday's rocket attack in your town? was anyone killed? >> translator: fortunately nobody has been killed. we had a rocket attack at around 6:30 in the morning on our infrastructure and there was some damage. the rescue teams went to work and we have managed to restore electricity and water. >> the ukrainian prosecutor general said last night that six civilians in your town had been found shot dead in a basement in brovary. can you tell us more about that incident? >> you must be talking about brovary region, rather than town. yes, indeed, six bodies were found of tortured civilians. >> tortured. >> translator: yes, indeed, they were tortured. this is unheard of in the 21st century. this is worse than naziism, any sort of naziism. these people were tortured to death. >> president zelenskyy has said the retrieving russians have been leaving mines on houses and even corpses in brovary. can you tell us more about that? >> translator: yes, indeed. the retreating forces have mined all the occupied territories they're retreating from. that includes brovary and mine clearance teams are working before civilians can get back to their homes. so at the moment, civilians can only get back to their homes with the permission of the military. >> given what you've been seeing and hearing, what most concerns you about what could happen next? >> translator: well, whatever happens next, ukraine is going to be around and ukraine will always be, and we are going to fight for our traditions, for our nation and for our territory. and that's what i'm going to say. >> finally question: what isn't the world seeing in brovary that you want the world to know about? >> translator: i'd like the world to know that ukraine is currently defending the world's democracy, the democratic order against an occupier, against an aggressor, and that means children are being killed and women are being raped and people are being pour toured. this is unheard of in the 21st century, an age of technology and progress, and yet we can see that the biggest part of a european country has to defend the world and has to defend the world's democracy. i just wanted to say that brovary is not special in this situation. it could be brovary or kharkiv or sumi, we're all defending our country. we want to live at home in our home country and we want to live in our democratic country. so brovary is nothing special in that regard. >> you're all something special and we thank you for your courage. mayor, thank you for joining us on cnn. >> translator: thank you, and glory to ukraine. let's talk about is happening in ukrainian by talking with retired air force colonel cedric leighton. let's talk first about russia's control. >> this is a very interesting piece because kreminna is right here. it's right by the donbas region and right on the edge of where the russian forces are right now. so this advance is not a major advance in terms of the kinds of movements that the russians will have to make in order to capture more of the donbas, but it is a key element in their way to doing that. so what they're doing is moving through here. one of the key things to note, kreminna is actually a city that was run by a pro-russian mayor before he was killed earlier this year. so these kinds of movements here are in some ways revenge probably for that killing. in other ways, it's also a way forward from a tactical military standpoint for the russians to move forward into a region where they can then control the rest of the donbas. >> let's talk about lviv. lviv has been so safe there on the west. i like to remind people that, if you were to turn california on its side, that distance is about the same of how wide ukraine is. this is a very, very wide nation here. lviv is very far in the west there away from the front, and yet here we saw a strike on a civilian target, and we haven't seen that before, cedric. >> that's right, brianna. what's key here, you mentioned earlier, it's so diplomacy to the polish border. about 40 miles from lviv to poland, which is also 40 miles to nato. when the russians are looking at targeting these particular areas, not only are they looking at critical infrastructure in terms of hifting major cities like kyiv, but lviv is not only a major city, it has a few installations and it is critical to the western resupply effort for the ukrainians. a lot of stuff goes through lviv, and the idea that the russians have is of not only spreading terror, as jim mentioned in his reporting from there, but it also shows a key element in going after the civilian population. going after them not only in their daily lives but in their ability to function and their ability to carry out things like moving around, like even potentially escaping. what the russians are trying to do is cut off all means of supply around here and in other areas, too. and when they do this kind of thing, they're doing it in a way so the rest of the civilian population is cowed and in essence prevented from doing what they need to do. it can also prevent the ukrainian military from moving into other areas. >> do you think the russians can effectively do that? lviv, which is actually so far away from russia, there's not pro-russian sentiment there. they're able to keep secret more of what they're doing in that region. >> i think that's very true. if you look at the broader map here, what you see is more or less in the past, before the invasion, pro-russian areas kind of in here -- pro western areas in through this area. what that really means is these are different parts of the same country. and the other thing to keep in mind is the areas that were once pro-russian are no longer as pro-russian as they once were. a lot of this is changing politically. that means a lot for the ukrainians, and it also will prevent the russians from achieving their goals. the ukrainians see what's going on here. their resolve is going to be stiffened and they're going to fight more than they have in the past. not to say anything about what they've done in the past because it's been actually phenomenal. this stiffens their resolve and they're coming into this with a really hardened attitude towards the russians and the potential russian occupation. >> they certainly are. colonel, thank you for taking us through that. we appreciate it. >> you bet, brianna. right now the fight is under way for mariupol. the ukrainians who are refusing to surrender. more from cnn's exclusive interview with president volodymyr zelenskyy, what he refuses to concede in any fur tear talks with russia. this is cnn's special live coverage. obviously, we got termites. well, firsrst thing is, you gotta know what they're bitin' on. hey! i told you to hire a pro. i did get a pro. an orkin pro! i got this. i did get a pro. got termites?

>> translator: for us, the battle for donbas is very important. it is important for different reasons, for the reason of safety, first of all, a grouping that is low skated in donbas is one of the best military we have. it is a large grouping. russia wants to encircle them and destroy them. it is nearly 40,000 people. it is 44,000 professional military men who survived a great war from the beginning of 2014. this is why it is very important for us to preserve that part of our army that is one of the most powerful. this is why it is very important for us not to allow them, to stand our ground, because this battle, and it will happen because there there will be several battles and we don't know how long it is going to take, it could influence the course of the whole war, because i don't trust the russian military and russian leadership. this is why we understand the fact that we fault them off and they left and they were running away from kyiv, from the north, from cher new year's eve, it doesn't mean that won't come further towards kyiv. that is why for us this battle is very important for many reasons. it is very important to win this battle. >> what do you say to people either in ukraine or elsewhere in the world who say just give putin the donbas, just give putin eastern ukraine. stop the bloodshed. let him have the territory. what would your message be about that? >> in the centuries-old history of ukraine, there's story that ukraine has either taken territory or needs to give up territory. ukraine and the people of our state are absolutely clear. we don't want anyone else's territory and we are not going to give up our own. >> you've inspired a lot of people including not just here in ukraine and around the world. who inspires you? who are your heroes? whose story do you look to for inspiration during dark days here? >> only the people. i believe our people are genuine and unique, and i just afford to be worse than them. when at certain moments i feel like all of this is dangerous, i understand that all the rest of us are going through this as well. what people are feeling like who are in basements, who lost their children, what our soldiers feel like right now, and i understand i have to be the strongest one in this situation and this is all. and the most important is the way my children look at me. they have to be proud of me. this is the most important thing. i do everything for this. >> is ukraine going to win this war? >> yes, of course. >> talking with people there, that's how they feel. if they don't fight, if they don't win, then their sons and some of their daughters are going to have to fight and win as well. we heard from the former spokesperson to him who says it's like they're being blackmailed. that's the thing, do you negotiate with a terrorist? if you do, you know you're going to be back again and paying another ransom. >> that's where the generational responsibility inspires people to be bigger than themselves. you heard president zelenskyy say he gets strength from the people. he knows he has to be the strongest. there is the relationship between leaders and citizens in times of crisis that everyone is inspired to do their best and be their best and think bigger. it's not about you. it's about the future, about your children and your children's children. powerful. >> a prominent kremlin critic who called the putin government a regime of murderers is detained in russia. we'll speak live with his wife next. plus, back in the united states, an emotional discovery, the moment a mother learns her teenager who had been missing for three years is alive. >> oh sweetheart. oh, my god. aleve it, and see what's possible. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in youtracks... choose stelara® from the start... and move toward relief after the first dose... with injections every two months. stelara® may increase your risk of infections, some serious, and cancer. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, sores, new skin growths, have had cancer, or if you need a vaccine. pres, a rare, potentially fatal brain condition, may be possible. some serious allergic reactions and lung inflammation can occur. feel unstoppable. ask your doctor how lasting remission can start with stelara®. janssen can help you explore cost support options. my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma that can mean less oral steroids. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala. it's my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within 2 hours. don't take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. let's do it. we already hit the bank, the museum, the jewelry store. where to next?

>> good morning. thank you very much forgiving me this opportunity for speaking out on behalf of vladimir, my husband speaking out on behalf of so many oppressioned russians over the years. i cannot say i was very much surprised when i learned my husband joined the list, the ever-growing list of prisoners of conscience in the russian federation. even before the war, according to russia's memorial human rights center shut down in december of last year on government's orders, there were over 400 people serving unlawful sentences in russian prisons for the political views and religious beliefs. since the beginning of the war, there have been over 15,000 arrests. people have been arrested for opposing this war for saying no to the bloody putin regime and its war in ukraine and for spreading, as the government calls it, fake information, knowingly fake information but objective, truthful information about the putin -- the russian army's atrocities in ukraine. that number continues to grow daily. just in recent days a st. petersburg artist got arrested and is now facing a jail sentence, a prison sentence of up to ten years for replacing tags at stores, price tags with anti-war messages. similar actions have been carried out in kazan and other russian cities where people replaced price tags in local stores with messages -- with anti-war message, with information about the war in ukraine, with just numbers of civilian casualties. two people were arrested for holding silent actions with copies of "war and peace" in their hands. they got arrested just for that. the number of prisoners of conscious continues to grow daily. the numbers are terrifying. >> evgenia, it's amazing to hear you speak because i know you must be so concerned about your husband, and yet you're doing the work, doing some of his work here. he is in prison right now and you are raising the alarm. you're sounding the alarm for what he would sound the alarm for. have you been able to speak to him at all? >> i am able to speak to him, thankfully. he gets wen phone call a day. he calls me and we discuss everything. yes, of course, i'm going to continue doing his work for as long as it takes, and i will do everything possible to bring him back home and to raise my voice in support of all those prisoners of conscience in russia. i will continue his work for as long as it takes. >> i imagine you two had some conversations about the possibility that he would be detained. just for our viewers' knowledge, he has suffered through two incredibly debilitating poisonings in the past that appear to be linked to the russian government. he's been through a lot. he knows what he's -- who he's facing here with the russian government. what were you conversations like with him about the expectations of what would happen to him in russia? >> well, we already went through terrible times, as you mentioned, and this is not just the beginning of persecutions against my husband. yes, he was poisoned twice for his advocacy, for the introduction of targeted sanc sanctions. that would target murderers and thieves in the putin regime. he's been involved in this advocacy since 2010 and he and his colleague, who paid the ultimate price for his advocacy, he was shot in front of the kremlin in 2015. my husband was poisoned twice in 2015 and 2017. he barely survived, learned how to walk again and hold a spoon and went back to russia. as a russian politician, he believes he needs to be where the russian people is fighting this regime against all odds. we see this is happening. yes, they're not able to fight in big numbers, but even -- imagine people who go out on these solitary actions. there are restrictive laws being introduced in russia every day. there's a law that can send you to prison for up to 15 years for just calling this war a war and for spreading objective truthful information about the war. and people -- despite that, people are prepared, they're willing to go out and protest and say no, even though they know that they face those terrible things. they risk their lives, their safety, their health, and they're still prepared to fight. yes, my husband believes that he needs to be where the fight is going on, and he has been trying to do everything possible to bring attention to what is happening in ukraine since the beginning of russian hostilities. i know that he will not stop. he continues from jail. he has sent me articles to be published in "the washington post" about his detention, about what is going on. i know he will continue to fight. >> he's asking people to fight and he's going to where the fight is. he is there now. evgenia, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me here. thank you very much. it's the question that the american people want to know and economists are working overtime to figure out, is a recession coming or not?
