city. now any semblance of security here is gone. and in the east -- the barrage of bombs relentless. video of this skyline shows buildings igniting upon impact. overnight, the town of kreminna officially fell to russian forces. but in mariupol, it's still a bloody and extremely brutal fight to the end. ukrainian forces are refusing to surrender. one ukrainian commander is now begging pope francis to help. describing the horrors in that port city as hell on earth. president zelenskyy says talks with moscow will end if russia makes good on its threat to eliminate ukraine's last troops there. let's begin in lviv. that's in western ukraine. matt rivers is there with us. matt, lviv, for the most part, has so far escaped the worst of the violence. but now we have this deadly strike just miles from where you are. what's the latest? >> yeah, and that's exactly right, ana. for -- as compared to other cities in ukraine, lviv has generally gone unscathed. but that kind of peaceful lull was shattered this morning, frankly, with four different missile strikes landing across lviv and a midday press conference we heard from ukrainian defense officials who say three of the four sites attacked had some sort of military infrastructure on them, but the fourth site was simply an autobody repair shop. my team and i went to visit that site. we saw the impact crater from where the russian missile struck. probably about five meters across. massive. we saw two buildings still on fire when we arrived. on one of those was a sign that said auto body repair shop. this was simply a civilian target that russia hit, whether intentionally or otherwise. the end result is that multiple people died at that site. we spoke to the owner of that body shop. he said that multiple of his employees died. several others were sent to the hospital. buildings in the area destroyed. definitely another example of russian military brutality. but i should add here that what is happening in lviv is nothing when you compare it to what is happening in other parts of the country. let's move east to luhansk where we've been waiting for this russian offensive to really begin to ramp up in earnest. if you ask certain people like the head of the regional military administration, he thinks the battle for the donbas region of which luhansk is a part has already begun. speaking about the town of kreminna which has fallen to russian forces. ukrainian forces have retreated from that town with the administrator of that area saying that it no longer made sense for ukrainian troops to stay there. he said the enemy fired everything from aircraft to mortars, artillery, tanks. staying there they'd die and they'd be of no use which is why they decided to move the defenders away as a tactical retreat. this is the kind of thing we'll be seeing play out over the coming days and weeks as this russian offensive ramps up. you'll be seeing fierce battles between both sides in the eastern part of the country as the focus shifts away from the northern part of the country now east to donbas. >> matt, i feel like i say this every time i speak to you and our colleagues, but i just pray you stay safe. thank you for your hard work and courageous reporting there on the ground in lviv. let's focus in on the key port city of mariupol. an adviser to the mayor says russian forces are blocking all entry and exit to the city after ukraine rejected an ultimatum to surrender. defenders are vowing to fight until the end. the situation there is dire. one ukrainian commander in mariupol just wrote a letter to pope francis describing what remains and pleading for help. he writes, you have probably seen ape lot in your life, but m sure you have never seen what is happening in mariupol because that's what hell on earth looks like. i have little time to describe all the horrors i see here every day at the plant. women and children and babies live in bunkers, in hunger and cold. every day being targeted by the enemy aviation, the wounded die every day because there is no medicine, no water, no food. mariupol was once a city of 450,000 people. but only an estimated 100,000 remain. after 49 days of this russian assault. russians encircled mariupol on march 1st. and it's been the site of some of the most brutal attacks. you can see where it is here between the donbas region down there is crimea. now this is where russia bombed that maternity and children's hospital. you probably remember seeing these types of pictures of bloody pregnant women on stretchers being carted out of the rubble. russia claimed this hospital was a justifiable military target. just a week later, this theater where hundreds sought shelter. and the word "children" was written outside on both sides. could be seen from the sky. it was targeted by an air strike. hundreds died. four days after that, russian forces bombed an art school sheltering 400 people. by march 31st, one month into the siege of mariupol, president zelenskyy said more than 90% of the city's buildings had been destroyed. april brought new horrors, including reports russia was sending mariupol residents filtration camps to relocate some ukrainians to russia. aid and evacuation convoys have been blocked by russian forces. as of last week, the regional military governor says the death toll may be 22,000 or more. just in this one city. joining us now, cnn military analyst general wesley clark. he's a former nato supreme allied commander. general clark, thanks for being with us, starting with what's happening in mariupol. how is it that russian forces haven't actually captured this city when they have demolished it? >> well, they haven't actually captured it yet. there is still resistance in the steel factory and there will be resistance as long as those men who are there can hold a weapon and fight. because they know what the alternative is. if they surrender, they're going to be shot or tortured or both. so this is a battle to the death for these men in this battalion who are holding on. >> it really does speak to the will and the courage and sacrifice of all the people in that town and the fighters for ukraine. the significance, as you see it, of mariupol, once it all falls, assuming that's where this is headed. >> yeah, it's got a symbolic significance, of course. it will be a big victory for russia. and it will also open a route between southern russia, all the way out to kherson and the russians hope through mykolaiv and into odesa, if they take odesa. and it would seal off the rest of ukraine from access to its port on the black sea. so it is a strategic prize for russia, but the ukrainian defense has been incredibly tough and heroic there. >> as we discussed with matt rivers, russia's ramping up its offensive but also striking lviv which is located some 40 miles or so from poland in western ukraine. what's russia's strategy here? >> i think russia is diverting its -- and distracting itself. i think the attack on lviv was mostly revenge. and maybe they think it's a warning to nato, but i don't think nato will take that. i think the nato nations will continue to support ukraine to the best of their ability, because this is what they are committed to. but i think that russian military access would be better used with military targets in there center of concentration. but this is the russian mentality. they are distracted. they are seeking revenge perhaps for the sinking of the cruiser "moskva." >> president zelenskyy tells cnn ukraine will win this war. and we all saw ukraine's army won that early battle for kyiv. but as i understand it, the eastern donbas region will be a different beast. given what both sides strategically have right now, can ukraine win again? >> well, we don't actually know. it's a function of information that we don't have access to. and some processes that we don't see into. we don't know what the ukrainian strength is on the ground. we don't know how effective the russian maneuver forces will be. we do know that today in this battle in this little town of kreminna that the ukrainian forces wisely pulled back. they don't want to be encircled. they want to force the russians to mass and then bring targeting their artillery on the mass russian forces as they slip away. this is mobile armored warfare. not siege warfare. they don't want to be caught by that. the question you're asking goes to the heart of u.s. policy. what is the u.s. policy? is our policy to ensure that we provide the support that provides president zelenskyy a win? or is the u.s. policy to do as much as possible before these imaginary red lines of mr. putin are crossed? and we don't know what those red lines are, but president zelenskyy's asking for fighter planes. well, they haven't been -- he hasn't been given any fighter planes. he's asking for tanks and artillery but there are some european nations, east european nations that have this equipment that won't release it. so we don't know whether he's going to get what he wants, and we don't know how hard the united states is pushing for this because we don't actually have at least publicly a defined u.s. policy. is it to seek a successful end to the war, which would be the russians pushed out of donbas and then let the diplomats argue about crimea? that's what president zelenskyy wants. or is it, well, nato held together and the ukrainians gave it a good fight and they were very heroic, but now they don't have a country? that's not likely to be seen as a success in the west, if that's the -- that's emerged. so i hope in the coming days as this dilemma for the biden administration sharpens, how much will we give them? that policy will become clearer, if not articulated, then by action and getting those replenishments and extra amnition and artillery and takes in there. >> we were told over the weekend that some $800 million worth of additional weapon support was starting to arrive there in ukraine which had been committed by the biden administration just last week, bringing the total from the u.s. commitment to $3.2 billion so far in this invasion. thank you very much, general clark. great to have you here. thank you for your expertise and insights. a global pariah forever? the international outrage over russia's invasion of ukraine won't stop when this war is over. according to a new report, countries around the world are preparing to isolate the kremlin for years to come. and back here in the u.s., a violent and deadly easter weekend. three separate mass shootings at a nightclub, a house party, and a mall. the latest on those investigations. stay with us. you're live in the cnn newsroom. i was overer the moon, even thoh i was underground. we'll drive you happy at carvana. welcome to the eat fresh refresh at subway wait, that's new wait, you're new too body told you?

is that like a green light for putin? >> well, it sounds like putin has shifted gears. he understands that this is going to be a long, grinding fight, like it already has been in other parts of the donbas to secure his victory as he sees it of seizing crimea and taking more territory. we're hearing from the pentagon and from ukrainian officials that the russians have mostly moved in the troops that they need to conduct this new offensive, and i think all the severe fighting that we're seeing pop up, especially in the past 24 to 48 hours, that's the start of this uptick in this -- what will be artillery and just tank on tank, troop on troop battle over the east that is going to cause the kind of destruction that we've seen in mariupol but on a larger scale. >> mj, how far is the biden administration willing to go in terms of supplying military support? >> ana, this is probably one of the most critical questions facing the administration as we all expect this war to sort of enter the next phase. and that next phase is expected to include a lot of heavy fighting, particularly in that eastern donbas region. and the concern right now is that ukraine could sort of start running out of ammunition and important weapons to fight back. by some estimates, tens of thousands of artillery rounds could be used up in a matter of days. this is a kind of assistance that the u.s. has been offering ukraine, and we have, important to note, seen the u.s. offering the kinds of assistance that has become heavier in terms of its capabilities. so we're talking about drones and other heavy machinery. and so the question that is facing the u.s. administration is, how much more of that kind of weaponry is the u.s. willing to provide, but what zelenskyy has made clear is that they cannot reach his country fast enough. >> and as we've been reporting, as well, some of the ammunition that the u.s. has already sent that way could be used in a matter of days. that's how much they're going through it so quickly. kim, putin has already succeeded in making russia an international pariah. will russia, do you think, have any standing in the world left after this? >> it depends on which part of the world you're talking about. there are countries like india, parts of asia, parts of africa and latin america that voted with or abstained from votes that would have been damaging to russia at the u.n. and that are continuing to do business with russia and not pledging like germany has to slowly wean themselves off russian energy supplies. and that's where the next intensifying phase of this battle is the only thing that could change their calculus. if putin is not satisfied with the pace on the ground. we heard the warning from the cia director last week and from president zelenskyy in his interview with jake tapper that putin could resort to nuclear weapons. only then -- something extreme and drastic do i think you could see some of these nations that are still, at least being mute on the war or noncommittal changing their calculus and joining the west with regards to putin. >> there is growing pressure on president biden to visit ukraine. i want you to listen to president zelenskyy and his exclusive interview with jake tapper. >> do you want president biden to come here? >> yes. >> are there any plans for him to come? >> i think he will. >> you think he will? >> i think he will. and i think -- but it's -- it's his decision, of course. and about the safety situation, it depends. but i think -- i think he's the leader of the united states and that's why he should come here to see. >> mj, is this something the white house is considering? >> ana, the short answer is no. white house press secretary jen psaki said in a recent interview that there aren't active discussions right now for president biden to travel to ukraine. but what we do know is that there have been early preliminary conversations about the possibility of sending some kind of high-ranking u.s. official to ukraine. so whether that is the secretary of defense or the secretary of state, we don't know. but obviously what u.s. officials have made very clear is that security concerns are number one. that they need to make sure that whoever goes over there, if such a trip were to happen, that they need to make sure that that person is safe, but it is just so striking to see the ukrainian president directly making an appeal and saying i would like to see the u.s. president come to my country. he, obviously, understands better than anybody else the symbolic significance that such a trip would have, ana. >> mj lee and kim dozier, thank you ladies. appreciate you. nearly 400 million people in china are under a covid lockdown. the ripple effects of this could go far beyond china's borders. a new threat to the global economy. ♪and something tells me they don't beat m me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ you're probably thinking that these two are in some sort of lover's quarrel. no, no, no. the're both invested... in green energy. and also each otr. digital toolso impressive, you just can't stop. what would y like the power to do?

>> reporter: according to the police chief, multiple shooters firing more than 90 rounds inside and outside of the house. some partygoers jumped out of windows leaving some with broken bones and cuts, police say. the search for the suspects is under way and officials are urging anyone with information to come forward as investigators process as many as eight separate crime scenes. in columbia, south carolina, one man was arrested after a mass shooting at a mall on saturday. >> we didn't know who was shooting, what direction it was coming from, and it was -- it was really terrifying. >> reporter: 22-year-old joanne price appeared in court sunday. according to the columbia police department, price is charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol. police said more charges are possible. cnn has not been able to determine if price has a lawyer. he's been released on house arrest. police said they believe those involved in the shooting knew one another. the shooting left 14 people injured, at least nine suffered gunshot wounds. and five others hurt while attempting to leave the scene. about 100 miles south of columbia in hampton county, south carolina, police say nine people were shot early sunday morning at a lounge. cnn affiliate wtlc tv reported a lounge was hosting an easter bash when the shots rang out. some people jumped into nearby ditches to avoid being hit, wtlc reported. the south carolina law enforcement division is leading the investigation. in boston, police said two people were shot in the city's chinatown neighborhood. >> both of these males were transported to local area hospitals and both are currently listed in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. >> reporter: three suspects are in custody after the vehicle police said they were fleeing in crashed. two were injured in the crash but police said they do not believe those injuries are life-threatening. boston police say what led up to the shooting is still unclear, but the investigation is ongoing. >> shimon joins us live now. the shooting there in pittsburgh, no one has been arrested. what are people or police, i should say, saying about the search for suspects? >> that continues. the search for suspects. they think now that possibly as many as 100 rounds were fired by these multiple shooters. they found shell casings belonging to different guns which is leading them to believe that there are multiple shooters. they are still searching for them this morning. schools there were put on modified lockdown out of concern for students' safety. big concern there for law enforcement about this party and some of what was going on at that party. the police chief there saying that there was alcohol and potentially some drugs as well. this was all supposedly a party where most of the people who were attending were under age. he says there were some adults at this party, but, obviously, big questions surrounding this party. concern here is that there was a fight and there was just this argument between some groups and someone pulled out a gun and then someone else pulled out a gun and that's how all these innocent bystanders were hurt. >> shimon prokupecz, thank you. the masks are back, and so is the resistance. the city of philadelphia is now facing a lawsuit over the return of its indoor mask mandate. endorsement of that mandate began today. but a group of business owners and residents who filed suit say the mandate violates the state constitution and goes against cdc guidelines. philadelphia is now the first major u.s. city to reinstate a mask mandate. the city is under a level 2 covid response which was triggered because the number of cases increased by more than 50% over the previous ten days. so masks are now required in all public indoor spaces. that includes schools, businesses and restaurants. health experts say the true number of covid-19 cases here in the u.s. may be much higher than officially reported. in fact, the number could be as much as 14.5 times higher according to one health research group. officials point to a rise in at-home testing, as one reason why. and the concern is that most of those results go unreported. efforts are under way to better track home test results. health officials also point out that most people who are infected with the omicron variant of covid-19 may not show any symptoms and thus don't even know to take a test. in china, covid cases are on the rise. and now nearly 400 million people across 45 cities in china are under full or partial lockdown as part of china's strict zero covid policy. and this could end up having a major economic impact all around the world. let me bring in cnn reporter matt is here with us, matt egan. what's that risk here? what is the big risk? >> you are trying to ease the world's manufacturing powerhouse. when something breaks there, we feel it everywhere. and stuff is definitely breaking there because of these lockdowns in china. we've already seen all these different impacts. freight traffic frozen. cargo flights canceled. 90% of the trucks that deal with imports or exports out of traffic. it's essentially at a standstill. all of that has to do with the flow of supplies. we've also seen the production of new supplies get impacted. tesla, sony, apple. just a few of the companies that have had their factories shut down. some companies are trying to reopen, but we'll have to wait and see how long they actually can stay open because of china's zero covid policy. why does this matter to everyone? it's about inflation. >> yep. >> we saw -- this is when covid hit right here. consumer prices going straight up after that. a lot of that had to do with the fact that supply has been really weak because of covid. demand has been really strong. the concern is that if china's lockdowns worsen the supply chain crisis, that could keep prices pretty high. >> the supply chain issue has been an ongoing thing for so much of us. so what is the u.s. saying about this? are officials going to take action? >> well, covid has really exposed this weakness in u.s. supply chains, right? we're so reliant, dependent on components built overseas. so there's a thought process that perhaps this latest wave of covid lockdowns in china could actually give new momentum towards efforts in washington to try to build new supply in the united states. try to bolster u.s. supply chains. but that's not going to be easy because globalization for the longest time really did keep prices low for better or worse. and unwinding that, trying to decouple from china is not going to be easy. and could easily lead to higher prices in the medium term. >> of course, it takes time. >> it does. >> to revamp everything. matt egan, thank you. the fighting is growing more intense, and widespread. so why are more people now returning to ukraine from poland than fleeing the war-torn country?

>> ana, from reporting on this border for weeks now, i can tell you, i'm not surprised by this reverse flow. there's a simple economic reason as to why it's been happening. we've been speaking to volunteers all along the border area who have been putting up these refugees on their own dime. spending thousands out of pocket to provide them with food, shelter, supplies, putting them at times up in their own office buildings, homes, any places they can really find to convert into shelters. and they are running out of cash. they say they're getting no help from government authorities, particularly here along the border. that's not just the shelters running out of money. ukrainians themselves who brought themselves across the border, were putting themselves up in hotels or hostels or anywhere they can find. now they have no work, no cash, no money. they are going back, ana, even if they don't feel it's safe. >> oh, my goodness. and they obviously didn't know when they left how long they'd have to be gone. so, obviously, very difficult to prepare for any situation in this circumstance. for so many of those fleeing, it isn't a simple trip from point a in ukraine to point b in poland. what are people telling you about their journeys? >> ana, i met one family that had an extraordinary round-about and dangerous journey to make it out of eastern ukraine. of course, the hardest hit part of the country where some villages, cities and towns are fully occupied by russian troops. they are besieged, encircled, bombed and hit every single day. one family i spoke to, again, who i met here in poland, said their only option was to flee into russia. into the country that was bombing and besieging them. they were lucky, and i use lucky here as a relative term, because their daughter, their relative was a ukrainian american with means to get them out of russia. take a listen. >> heard them for the first time after whole month. i was so torn. i was happy they alive, but i was terrified that they are in russia. and i don't know, should i be happy or should i be sad?
