raid signal went off. the soldiers are concerned this will be a secondary strike on the same target. ukrainian soldiers ordered us behind a concrete barricade. >> you understand you can't film this? >> nervous about us filming, one member of the territorial defense forces cocked his rifle. as he shouted at us to move back. >> it's interesting. you're wearing the flak jacket and the helmet. most civilians don't have that, right? just people around their neighborhood. you have to wear it, it is protocol. there was a bombing there or a missile strike and you want to be safe. what happened after that? >> so what happened was a series of further air raid sirens. the concern was after those first four were the russians going to hit again because three of the targets were military warehouses. the question was what were their warehouses storing? why were the russians hitting them? over the course of the day we heard three more rounds, the most recent within the last hour. and you know, don, having covered your own and you see the pictures there aftermath of one of these strikes that you hear the air raid siren, and then you listen for the booms. you listen for the strikes to follow. and that's what we heard this morning. >> jim, here's a concern, you having been there twice. you know the air raid sirens go off, some people don't pay attention. sometimes it becomes background noise, sadly, it shouldn't. lviv is a safe haven for so many ukrainians that have fled the eastern part of it country. i thought that may have been a false sense of security after the attack that i saw there. is that starting to sink in with people? >> i think so. lviv has been a lifeboat for people either transiting here out of the country to poland and elsewhere or staying in the country further away from their homes, but hoping they can go back soon and quickly. there was a bit of a lull between the strike you covered in march and this one, and you started to see the curfews shortened and more places opened up here. i think a tentative relaxation is gone today because russia showed again they could strike anywhere in the country. >> very well put. jim, be safe. is that know behind you or is that rain? >> it's snowing. i apparently brought the missiles and the snow. it's winter again here in lviv. >> yeah, the weather there is so unpredictable. looks like it's freezing now. be we will. we'll see you tomorrow, jim. thank you very much. >> thank you. this is "don lemon tonight" from the west to the east in ukraine. the heavy russian shelling as we've been discussing in the donbas region. ukraine's president zelenskyy says the battle for donbas is under way. tonight he tells jake tapper that ukraine needs more weapons and needs them now. >> translator: whether it's kamikaze drones, or mlrs complexes, we have very smart people for these. we've had training with nato countries. we are prepared to use any type of equipment, but it needs to be delivered very quickly. and we have the ability to learn how to use new equipment. but it needs to come fast. >> so tonight the pentagon warning russia beefed up its military with additional battalion groups and forces have learned from their mistakes in failing to take kyiv. there's a lot to discuss tonight, so i want you to stay tuned. we begin our coverage with ben wedeman who is in come tovg in eastern ukraine. ukraine's defense minister says russians forces have regrouped there. give us the latest, please. >> reporter: basically along an entire 300-mile front russian forces have opened up with mortar artillery and rockets. now, if this is the beginning of the russian offensive for donbas has president zelenskyy is saying, it's a lot different than the initial phases of this war that began on the 24th of february. the russians have managed, for instance, to take a small town, the town of cremena, which has been the site of street battles for quite some time, but that represents the totality at this point of what they've been able to take. now, what we've seen in recent weeks on the ukrainian side is intensive preparations in anticipation of this offensive. many of the times we've been toward the front lines, we've seen them digging trenches, laying mines, wiring bridges with explosives, and there's been a lot of ukrainian heavy armor and troops heading toward the front. now, i can hear the air raid siren in the background. it's been going on all night. but oddly enough in this town, kramatorsk, we didn't hear the normal sort of background sounds of thuds, distant thuds all night. so it does appear that perhaps the russians are focusing their fire on the front line as opposed to some of the back positions to the rear that they've been hitting since we've been here for the last ten days. don? >> ben, i just want our viewers just to listen to this for a moment. [ sirens ] so ben is in kramatorsk. he's listening to the air raid sirens. ben, just quickly, i want to know, is this ongoing? is it intermittent this constant air raid siren? >> reporter: it depends. certainly this evening or this morning here now they were on for about five or six hours. but we were walking around the city yesterday speaking to people, and one man told me, look, they're on all the time. in the center of the city they're really loud, and he said i just cover my ears and keep on walking, go around, go along with my business. the feeling is that in a sense, you know, i think after almost two months of this war, things like air raid sirens -- people don't always hear them. >> it's very interesting. ben wedeman is in crkramatorsk. there are images there, let's see some of the images of the strike that happened where ben was. it was just a few days ago. he is covering that now and is listening to air raid sirens as they go off. ben wedeman, be safe. you've been doing such a terrific job putting yourself in the middle of the danger. we want you to be safe and we appreciate your reporting. ben wedeman reporting from kramatorsk in ukraine this morning, 5:08 in the morning there. i want to turn to simon schuster in kyiv tonight. thank you for joining us. we appreciate that. you're in touch with one of the ukrainian soldiers fighting back the russians at that massive iron and steel plant in mariupol. it is a foursquare-mile area. what's the soldier telling you and how long can they hold out do you think? >> the soldier is telling me -- we've been texting back and forth for a week now. sometimes he gets a signal down there, so he tends to respond at night. his main message is they're still down there. they're still holding out. and they feel that their mission has already been accomplished because they've drawn so much russian fire power on themselves that it's given other cities in ukraine a chance to prepare, to survive. it's given ukrainian forces much more time to prepare for the battle for eastern ukraine that's begun tonight. he says he's wounded, but he's hanging in there. >> simon, there's new video of women and children in the basement of a plant. cnn cannot verify the authenticity of the video, but after reviewing thousands of photos and video, the walls of the shelter appear to match. the lime green painted walls in the plant' basement. tell me, what are conditions like inside? >> well, it's hard to imagine. it's a really massive facility. it has multiple levels of bunkers, underground rooms, chambers. we heard just in the last couple weeks some of the russian military officials, spokespeople, officers going on state tv and complaining and trying to explain why it's taking them so long to try to seize this facility. they say that, you know, if russian forces continue trying to do it with conventional means, it will just become a black hole for russian weaponry and soldiers because the facility is so hard to seize. it's just this enormous place of underground tunnels. one official told me it's built to withstand a nuclear strike. so it's not clear how the russians intend to take it. there have been reports, as i'm sure you've seen, of russia potentially using already chemical agents to try to kill or get the people inside those bunkers under the steel plant to come out. so we don't know how this is going to end, but my understanding is they still have quite a lot of provisions to hold out for a long time. so i think ultimately it's going to depend on how the battle for the east turns out. i mean, the soldier i've been texting with, his main hope is that ukraine will be able to break the blockade that russia has around that city. >> simon, we just had ben wedeman on and he showed us the images from kramatorsk. you are in bucha. the images from there shocked the world. how is what happened there impacting ukrainian forces who are fighting for cities like mariupol? >> well, the soldier i've been texting with mentioned bucha. one of my questions to him was, do you consider it possible to surrender in the hope that eventually you may be able to be traded in a p.o.w. exchange between ukraine and russia? and his answer was after the atrocities we saw in bucha, that is not an option for the soldiers there. he says that, first of all, they are too revolted by what russian forces did in bucha and he doesn't believe after we've seen in bucha that the russian forces would treat pows, especially the soldiers that are there with any dignity or respect or would indeed keep them alive long enough for a trade. so he said that surrendering is not an option. >> simon schuster, thank you so much. please be safe. we'll have you back on real soon. thanks. >> thank you. phase 2, ukraine saying the second phase of the war is beginning as u.s. officials warn that russia's learned from its earlier losses. colonel cedric leighton is here to break down the battlefield right after this. ♪and somethining tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ ♪("i've been everywhere" by johnny cash) ♪ ♪i've traveled every road in this here land!♪ ♪i've been everywhere, man.♪ ♪i've been everywhere, man.♪ ♪ travel i've had my share, man.♪ ♪i've been everywhere.♪ ♪ no matter who you are, being yourself can be tough when you have severe asthma. triggers can pop up out of nowhere, causing inflammation that can lead to asthma attacks. but no matter what type of severe asthma you have, tezspire™ can help. tezspire™ is a new add-on treatment for people 12 and over... that proactively reduces inflammation... ...which means you could have fewer attacks, breathe better, and relieve your asthma symptoms. so, you can be you, whoever you are. tezspire™ is not a rescue medication. don't take tezspire™ if you're allergic to it. allergic reactions like rash or an eye allergy can happen. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. sore throat, joint and back pain may occur. avoid live vaccines. by helping control your asthma, tezspire™ can help you be you. no matter who you are, ask your asthma specialist about tezspire™ today. ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ i didn't know my genetic report could tell me i was prone to harmful blood clots. i travel a ton, so this info was kind of life changing. maybe even lifesaving. ♪do you know what the future holds?♪ the battle for the donbas region in eastern ukraine has begun. that's according to president zelenskyy. officials reporting intense russian bombardment as they look to push back ukrainian forces. in western ukraine, missiles hitting lviv. joining me to discuss, military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton. thank you so much. appreciate you joining us once again. let's talk about the strategy on the battlefield here. a senior u.s. official is warning even with its struggles, the russian military is learning from its mistakes in northern ukraine. so how do you expect this next phase of the war to play out differently? >> this is going to be interesting, don, because instead of what we saw in kyiv where you had a basic way in which they could do cou counterinsurgency operation, they were able to push the russians back in all these areas right here. now, this is going to be a different terrain. this is all flat. this area around kyiv was hilly. the area in the east is basically flat with a few little exceptions. what we're going to probably be seeing here is the russians coming down from the northeast, potentially using this area in the east to move a little bit forward, potentially coming out of the south. big issue in the south for them is mariupol. that is hindering them quite a bit in their operations. so one of the things that we have to look for is the russians going into the specific areas here in the donbas and actually using these areas to kind of gain momentum. we heard of them going into the town of kremena. they are using that town as a jumping-off point for further activity. if they head down this way, they're going to be where ben wedeman is in kramatorsk. they're going to move in these general directions. and of course donetsk is also an area that's kind of in the border area between the russian-backed separatist-controlled areas, and the part of the donbas that ukraine controls. so all of these areas are really under the gun, if you will, because that's going to be where most of the action is with a few exceptions out there. one of the major ones being, of course, mariupol. >> let's talk about it more. you mentioned kremena. russian forces have entered there in the east. why is it significant? >> it's significant for one big reason. this is kind of a road junction area through here. the roads go this way and they also come down in this general direction. so this is an important area. it's also a railroad junction in the area and ukraine uses a lot of rail compared to the united states. so all of these transportation areas are really critical for any army moving forward. so that's one reason to get it. there's also a bit of an emotional reason for russians to do this. the mayor of kremena was sanford. he was a pro-russian mayor assassinated a month ago. that was one of the things that the russians may be looking at as kind of a revenge aspect here. so there's that. but the more important thing for them is to move down in this area and grab the transportation modes so they can move further and in basic terms lob this part of the country off the rest of ukraine. >> against all odds, some ukrainian defenders are holding out in mariupol. the defense is hanging on by a thread, really. what happens if and when it collapses? >> so, don, this is the iron and steel area that was talked about, all this gray here. the way it's been described is kind of this carnivvernous area. this was built to withstand all kinds of enemy activity during the colder war. in this case the enemy happens to be the russians. if they can hold out, which would actually be a miracle, this could really thwart the russian plans to move into this area. the russians want to control all of mariupol. they got the area right here and right here. this area is contested. so what they're trying to do is work through all of this, grab everything. keep in mind that all of the buildings here practically are damaged or totally destroyed. so the real estate is basically worthless from our point of view, but from the russian point of view, this is the land they need in order to make that connection between the areas that they have here and the areas that they have here, plus this area. so what they want is a total connection this way, and that then cuts ukraine off from the sea of azov, which is right here. >> we're also seeing images of russian strikes close to the border in lviv where at least seven people have been killed. lviv, right? supposedly a safe haven. is any part of the country safe? i think i know your answer, but please explain to our viewers. we talked about this, as a matter of fact, last week. >> yes, we did, don, absolutely. here's a picture of a missile that is striking in lviv. this is one of the russian cruise missiles. but just to get a basic idea here of where things are, on the big map, this is lviv in the west, 40 miles away from the polish border. you spent a lot of time there, so you have a real good feel for this. but the key thing is every single major city that's listed here is within russian aircraft or russian missiles. and the russians are now playing a game where they go after all the different targets. the ukrainian air defense system at the moment is not robust enough to shoot either the missiles or any airplanes that the russians care to fly over this air space to shoot them down. they can't do it on a consistent basis. they can do it some of the time but not all. . neither side has air superiority over this region, and that very fact makes it difficult for the ukrainians to continue keeping things the way they are and to ensure the safety of their citizens in any of these areas, including in the far west in lviv. >> colonel, once again, thank you so much. i learned a lot. appreciate it. >> you bet, don. president biden getting on a secure call with allies tomorrow. will they ratchet up the pressure on putin and will anything work? i'll ask a former defense secretary next. >> russia, more than just launching an invasion, more than just launching a war, has launched this undertaking, a campaign of terror, a campaign of brutality, a campaign of despicable aggression.

is that even possible? >> i think you have more on the ground. obviously he's suffering on the economic sanctions, not withstanding his statements. but on the ground he's got to be punished even more than he has been to date. soiled hope that the united states and nato countries would provide aircraft to the ukrainians and long-range artillery so they can pound the massing of russian forces as we go to this new phase and anything we can provide to kill as many of the russian soldiers as possible. that may send a message to putin he's not going to overwhelm the ukrainians. i don't think we have given them what they need because they need much more to counter the overwhelming numbers and the weight russia has against them. it's not been a fair fight, but they have a lot of fight left in them. >> you know, secretary, putin is sounding defiant in what he's calling the economic blitzkrieg has failed. but the full effects take time to be felt in europe and is working on plans to further reduce russian oil imports. is it too early to say sanctions can't work? >> well, sanctions never were designed to defeat him as such. they were sent in order to send a message that he is going to pay a penalty by being isolated economically and diplomatically from the rest of the world. the mayor of moscow, as i understand is reporting that's coming out, the sanctions will cost 200,000 jobs in moscow. well, maybe it ought to be 2 million jobs. maybe we ought to intensify the sanctions if there are any banks that have not been cut off from s.w.i.f.t., perhaps they should be cut off. perhaps we could look at secondary sanction s for countries that are still doing business with russia. putin is betting that we will wear down and grow weary of the sanctions before he does. we have to put him to that test going forward. >> how much do people feel and how much they sort of fight back against that when they get tired of it. tomorrow president biden is going to hold a secure call with allied leaders about what more could be done to support ukraine and hold russia accountable. what do you believe needs to be done to ratchet up the pressure on him? >> more heavy weapons, more armor, more tanks, more everything. a comment just briefly on the time. the word nuclear has been band yee, yes, he did about by putin himself. we need to make it clear perhaps at the meeting tomorrow, it should be no difference. if he crosses the threshold and uses a nuclear weapon, that changes the game as far as nato is concerned. he crosses a boundary that sets the motion for nuclear conflict. okay, he's gannon goone too far. we've the slaughter of innocents. he cannot use chemical or biological. if he does, there's a new ball game in town with new players coming into ukraine. that's what i hope they will talk about, whether it happens, you know, i'm just in a position to talk to you about it. >> i asked what do you believe, so that's what you think should happen. listen, i don't think anyone disagrees with you. the austrian chancellor who met with putin says putin believes russia is winning this war. how dangerous could this be? >> he has been losing. he's been losing as the colonel just indicated before, he's been losing combat -- face-to-face combat with ukrainians. he's leveling cities, killing innocent people by the thousands in order to break their will. so it's clear that when he has to turn to the kind of slaughter of innocents, that tells you he's losing. he's losing the war as such. he's not fighting fair, but there are no rules for putin. that's why i think we got to re-evaluate what rules he can set for us where he says no, you can't provide them with this kind of weaponry, well, why not? you set the rules in saying there are no rules for you. i think be there there have to be rules for him and that means upping the game of ukrainians by giving them more than we have to date. >> secretary, thank you. always a pleasure. >> good to see you, don. planes, trains, and buses. a judge striking down the federal mask mandate for public transportation. what does that mean for your next trip?

[ cheers ] >> cheering and celebrations all around and the airlines didn't waste any time. american airlines, southwest, united, delta, alaska airlines, all dropping their mask mandates. what do you think about this and the reaction you're getting from your fellow flight attendants? >> we've been hearing from flight attendants for the past several months, very strong feelings both in terms of wanting the mask mandate to go away, others very much wanting it to stay in place. we've had to deal with conflict on our planes for a long time because this was turned into a political issue rather than a public health issue. and so we did not take a position on whether or not to extend the mask mandate, but what we said was let's not make this a public debate. let's not continue to politicize this because when that happens, it's creating conflict, flight attendants, passenger service agents and others are getting hurt. the problem is today is that this was not an orderly shift. this is not the way you move public policy. some flight attendants were on the plane hearing this for the first time as pilots were making an announcement, and they're in the cabin. up to that moment they were told their job was to enforce this. they are supposed to have that standing in the cabin to keep everyone safe, and that really undermines their role. so there should be a more orderly transfer and we're really concerned about the chaos this created by the way this was on. >> the question is, look, you have to -- you've been policing this and people have been upset about it. you mentioned all the fights and people -- do you think that this in some way -- will this make people -- will you have to police more or less? >> here's the problem, don. people have been claiming that when this goes away that the conflict goes away, but some of the most violent events we've seen on planes over the last two years had nothing to do with masks at all or what we have seen is that people get upset on either side of the issue. there are some people who have gotten physically violent because they're upset because others aren't wearing masks. i think what this is going to do is this is going to create a situation where flight attendants are creating the smoking and nonsmoking sections on the plane like we used to. >> that's the reason i asked the question. >> that's right. >> that's why i asked the question. >> it will create more work for us, that's right. >> a lot more work. so do you think -- does this make it harder than having, hey, you have to wear a mask? >> a lot of people are happy they are going to have the personal choice of not wearing it. it's hard to wear it when you're weight and flight attendants are working 14, 15 hours a day and enforcing this. what we're saying is everybody be patient, be calm, listen to the instructions. let's just be respectful of each other. that's how we're going to get through. >> okay. good, because, look, i don't know. you said one thing. you said the majority of the confrontations on planes, did you not say it had nothing to do with masks? >> the violent confrontations on planes have generally not had to do with masks. they've had to do with other issues altogether. so there's been this idea that the masks have created all the conflict when, in fact, there has been this push of conflict on society, and this desire to buck any kind of instruction and the flight attendants are just doing their jobs trying to keep everyone safe. and simple safe instructions are setting people off. >> wow. not an easy job. that's why whatever the flight attendant says, yes, sir, yes, ma'am, i'll do it. >> thank you, thank you. >> you say today's ruling is not -- because it's temporary for me. i only have to be on a plane for a couple hours. people should realize that you are on planes a lot more and you have to deal with not just me, but hundreds of people on flights every single day, thousands on flights. just do what the flight attendant says and go about your business, get off the plane and everything is fine. you said today's ruling is not a policy decision but strictly a legal determination. where did the judge find the cdc fell legally short with creating this mandate? >> don, it's important to understand the judge did not say this is good policy, this is bad policy. this was not a health ruling or a science ruling, nor should the be. this is a legal ruling. and really this is a procedural decision more than anything else. the judge said first of all cdc, you made a rule that goes beyond the authority that congress gave you. second of all, the way that the biden administration went about this according to this judge violated the procedural rules. an agency like the cdc cannot just rule by decree. they have to follow certain rules about putting up notice and comment and letting people comment for 30 days and giving specific reasons for their decisions and the judge found the biden administration did not do that. that matters. the trump administration had several major policies struck down because they didn't follow the procedural rules. according to this judge, the biden administration did not do so here, and that's the basis for this ruling. >> is this it? no changing? no going back, ellie, legally? >> sarah makes a really good point that flight attendants were put in a bad position today, and the o in us is on the biden administration to make clear very quickly what they're going to do. as of this moment the mask mandate has been struck down. but the biden administration can, a, seek a stay, meaning judge, we want you to put this on pause. they've not do that yet. they need to come out quickly and say we are or are not going to see that, and we need to know where the biden administration will appeal this to the court of appeals. usually you would in this situation. they've lost. however, i think given all the factors, there's a chance they don't. so i really think the biden administration owes it to all travelers, to flight attendants to tell us quickly what they're going to do. but right now as we sit here at 10:45 p.m. eastern on this monday, the mask mandate is off. >> i think if they were going to do what you said, they probably would have acted quickly. we'll see. thank you both. i appreciate it. be safe >> thank you. so they're a charity feeding thousands displaced by war. then their hub was struck by a russian missile and destroyed. we'll speak with the ceo of world central kitchen who is in kharkiv. that's next. movement and automatically adjusts to help keep you both comfortatable all night. it's also temperature balancing, so you stay cool. it's so smart itit knows exactly how long, hw well, and when you slept. sleep number takes care of the science, all you have to do is sleep. and now, save $1,000 on our most popular smart bed. only for a limited time. to learn more, go to sleepnumber.com. the mosquitoes are just all over the quiet please. okay. wow!

>> reporter: they're doing well. i went to see them yesterday, spent some time in the hospital. they're in good spirits and they are recovering. one of the staff members, yulia, told me she was excited to get back in the kitchen and start cooking. also what's amazing about these women is a couple of them are administrators. they are managers at the restaurant during normal times, and now they've jumped in to cook meals and prepare meals and package them, whatever they have to do, which just goes to show the spirit of the ukrainians right now. >> i posted a video of your team moving food and nondamaged facilities to another location in kharkiv. how is the missile strike impacting your ability to feed people in kharkiv? >> you know, thankfully, this kitchen was one of many kitchens here in the city, and so while it did disrupt the operation, this kitchen was producing between 3,000 and 4,000 meals every day, there was another facility that was able to get up and running. as you can see, we were able to get some of that equipment and food out. the team jumped right in, and the restaurant management, the owners of the restaurant, obviously didn't force anybody to go back, but almost all of the staff said, we're ready, the very next day and jumped right in. so actually as of tomorrow, they'll be cooking in a new kitchen that will replace the one that was heavily damaged, and so it's just truly amazing. of course, it's a reminder of the situation that we face right now, that there is so much uncertainty. this missile was not targeting the restaurant specifically, but it hit the building right across the street, and the sheer immensity of the destruction caused the scene that you showed. and as we saw in lviv today, these missiles can come out of nowhere and hit innocent people. >> listen, and when we were there, remember, on the fuel depot, the randomness, you just don't know, right? you can say it's in the east or the north or whatever, but lviv is furthest east and they've had several strikes, i think three or four since the war began and on big targets. i want posto post this clip of missile strike in lviv. look at this. it seems like more and more nowhere is safe inside ukraine. are you committed to staying there? i know the answer is going to be yes, but there's got to be some concern from your family members, and i'm worried about you and jose and all of them, but are you committed to staying there and feeding the people of ukraine no matter how bad this gets, nate? this is terrible. you were even in kremavorsk after they hit that train station. come on, man. >> feeding everybody is number one for our team, all of the restaurants and cooks we're working with. we have a small world central cooking team in ukraine. i'm here, jose has been here. we're closely following the situation and making sure we're not putting ourselves in danger. we're moving to places that we know are as safe as possible, but there is an element of uncertainty. talking to our amazing ukranian partners, they're telling us, look, we're committed here. this is our way to fight, we are food fighters, we are cooking for the people and keeping our country going. at the end of the day, as long as they're still here in ukraine and as long as they are still working and cooking, world central kitchen is going to be there alongside them. so we might not have our international staff here, we might obviously try to work with our partners to make sure they're as safe as can be, make sure they're in the right places that they can cook in kitchens that are underground, that they have the right equipment. but, you know, the ukranian people are strong and resilient and they're not giving up in this fight, so we're going to be there standing beside them as long as we can. >> you're a good man. kudos to what you and jose are doing. stay safe, my friend. keep us updated on what you're doing. we'll have you back soon. >> thank you very much. strikes in the region, multiple people were killed after strikes in ukraine. wewe're live on the grground th. that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪i'm so defensive,♪ ♪i got bongos thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they do't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ stuff. we love stuff. and there's some really great stuff out there. but i doubt that any of us will look back on our lives and think, "i wish i'd bought an even thinner tv, found a lighter light beer, or had an even smarter smartphone." do you think any of us will look back on our lives and regret the things we didn't buy?
