ukraine, where the coming hours may be critical for the besieged city of mariupol according to intercepted communications. russians plan to level everything to the ground. >> live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, i'm paula newton. i'll be covering some of our other top story, including the new era of maskless travel. how the biden administration could fight to revive the mask mandate. the russian ministry of defense says it's offering a ceasefire to ukrainian forces surrounded in a steel factory in the city of mariupol. but ukrainian commanders call it surrender and vowed they will not give up. russian fighters have laid siege to the southern port city for seven weeks now as part of the donbas region. russian state media used drone footage of the steel works where hundreds of civilians are taking a shelter. a marine commander says the situation in the steel works is critical with food and water in short supply. >> translator: this is our statement to the world. it may be our last statement. we might have only a few days or even hours left. the enemy's units are ten times larger than ours. they have supremacy in the air, artillery, and units that are dislocated on the ground, equipment, and tanks. we appeal to the world leaders to help us. >> the area is crowded with about 500 wounded left to rot without medical care in the basement of the lower regions of that steel facility. the rest of the city, though, is in ruins. more now from cnn's matt rivers. >> reporter: for the battered and desperate citizens of mariupol, a chilling new threat has emerged. the security service of ukraine, or sbu, released a purported communications intercept of a russian ground unit commander who said russian aircraft were planning to, quote, level everything to the ground. >> reporter: cnn cannot vouch for the authenticity, but the sbu has previously released audio from intercepted radio traffic with russian soldiers discussing killing and raping civilians. both allegations of war crimes by russian troops. a tendency of russian troops to use unsecured communications in ukraine. for now a ukrainian commander says russian forces are, quote, willingly bombing and shelling the plant, a sprawling complex in mariupol southeast that once employed more than 10,000 people. it's unclear how many ukraine forces are at the site. but one commander says the russians are using free fall bomb, rockets, bunker buster bombs, and other artillery at the facility. video posted which cnn cannot verify shows dozens of women and children who say they have been staying under the facility for weeks, holding out against russian attacks. the surrender deadline russian forces issued to ukrainian troops has now expired. but the russian military official in charge of the operation says they will allow the civilians safe passage out of the area. >> translator: russian leadership will guarantee safe evacuation of each and every civilian as well as the safety of the of the convoy movement in any direction they choose. >> reporter: it's unclear if the ukrainians will take the word of the russian general, who has himself been accused of excesses during the mariupol campaign. not all mariupol civilians are in the steel factory. tens of thousands are trying to survive in other parts of the city. cnn is not in mariupol, but the reuters news agency found these people cooking outside a residential building on monday. they're chopping wood to make a fire to boil water, some soup, and even cook some pancakes. this woman cutting a boy's hair says, quote, they need to quickly fix the water supply problem. how can we live without water? it's horrible. and this woman says of bombardment -- >> to be honest, we are not well. i have mental problems after air strikes. that's for sure. i'm really scared. when i hear a plane, i just run away. >> reporter: matt rivers, cnn, lviv, ukraine. >> russian's foreign minister sergey lavrov has confirmed the next phase of russia's war in ukraine has begun. here he is. >> operation in the east of ukraine is aimed as was announced from the very beginning to fully lead the raid. and this will continue. it is beginning, another stage of this operation is beginning, and i'm sure this will be a very important moment of this entire special duration. >> we've already seen areas across the south and the east coming under fire. in luhansk, eastern ukraine's donbas, the regional governor says russian forces are attacking from all directions. intense artillery strikes as well as bombardments. some of the damage in eastern ukraine, buildings torn apart. this less than 20 kilometers from the town of crimena. a warning, the individual you're about to see may be hard to watch this. is in kharkiv. a barrage of russian shelling left three people dead, 16 injured on tuesday. the mayor says civilian areas have been under nonstop bombardments since sunday. and in the capital kyiv, the deputy mayor requesting 200,000 gas masks to protect against potential chemical weapons attacks. the u.s. has already shipped some protective gear to ukraine. u.s. officials say more is on the way. the u.s. is working quickly to get more weapons into the hands of ukrainian fighters, according to a senior u.s. defense official. sources in the white house say it will likely be a second weapons package for ukraine worth about $800 million just week after the first one was approved. cnn's oren liebermann has more now reporting in from the pentagon. >> reporter: it used to take weeks or even months to ship weapons to another country, especially through presidential drawdown authority, which is when the u.s. ships its own military stocks to another country. now during this ongoing russian invasion of ukraine, a senior defense official says they're working around the clock, 24-7 to try to get the shipments reviewed, approved and sent as quickly as possible. and that includes what can generally be a lengthy process. it starts with bilateral conversations between the u.s. and another country. of course ukraine in this case. then the u.s. checks its own stocks to see what's available, what can be sent. it then gets a recommendation from the chairman of the joint chiefs, as women as an analysis on what effect it would have on military readiness. it then requires secretary of defense approval, presidential approval. and then the secretary of state, before it comes back to the pentagon to actually begin the process of shipping the weapons. that process compressed to as little as humanely possible to get it done to ship weapons from u.s. stocks to ukraine as they need not only small arms ammunition and artillery, but all of the other weapons and equipment to stay in the fight. the u.s. knows this is a priority. they know the almost insatiable need of ukrainian forces in this fight against russia, and they're trying to make this go as quickly as is humanely possible. a process that is now down to 48 to 72 hours from beginning to end to start shipping weapons. and we see it with, for example, last week's approval of $800 million from the biden administration to ship to ukraine. within days, that has already gunshiping. a separate senior defense official saying five flights have already gotten in. another seven flights are expected in the next 24 hours. that speaks to the speed at which these shipments, these weapons, these packages of equipment are moving. >> joining me now is matthew schmid, professor of national security and legal science at the university of new haven in connecticut. thank you, matthew, for being with us. you know, just a day before we heard this intercept, which revealed the russian troops admit to leveling that iron and steel factory in mariupol, the ukrainian sources said the site was being hit with bunker buster bombs, artillery was incoming from sea and land. there were rocket and missile strikes. given all of that, and also sort of the history and the reputation of the russian forces engaged in this fight, is there any other possible conclusion that they will in fact level that steal works, despite a thousand civilian there's who have taken shelter, and despite there could be 500 wounded men? >> i wouldn't put any trust in the russian side's word on doing that right now. and i think what many people may not realize is this last stand by the ukrainians in mariupol looked like the last stand in stalingrad in world war ii where soviet defenders were holed up, trying to beat back nazi troops. so it would be very bad, really, to allow that to happen, allow those ukrainian groups to come out and tell that story. so there is sort of that propaganda region too to hammer it and bury everybody. >> so basically level the thing flat, bury everyone underneath and be done with it. is that what you're saying? >> yeah, you can write the story you want on top of the rubble. if you let people come out of the rubble, they get to write part of the story too, eventually. and putin doesn't want that to happen. >> good point. the u.s. and its allies have committed to sending more weapons, more lethal weapons to ukraine. and that now seems to include fighter jets. i want you to listen to a cryptic pentagon spokesperson, john kirby. here he is. >> they have received additional platforms and parts to be able to increase their fleet size, their aircraft fleet size. i think i'd leave it at that. platforms and parts. >> what is a platform? >> a platform is an airplane in this case. >> are they receiving -- >> i'm -- they have received additional aircraft and aircraft parts to help them get more aircraft in the air. >> let's cut to the chase. platforms and parts. are we talking about those migs that were offered a few weeks ago? >> yeah. i think those or having traveled around ukraine quite a lot in the last few years, you find broken down migs everywhere. so some of those you take apart and put parts in there and you might have three or four flying air frames out there. by hook or crook, we're putting aircraft in zelenskyy's hands. and that's what he's been asking for all along. i need tanks, i need armor and aircraft. and we're finally listening. the question is if we can do it fast enough because dvornikov is looking to hit that deadline for victory day in moscow. >> also, just on the issue of tanks, the czech republic declared they will pay ukrainian tanks and armored vehicles which have been damaged. that's a significant commitment by a member of nato. >> yeah. in the end, when you look at the numbers, i was just reading, ukraine has more tanks now than it did at the start of the war, even accounting for their losses. they have captured tanks, they're getting tanks from the west. and really significantly, the u.s. has agreed to send over uparmored humvees. and those kind of vehicles in the right conditions will operate essentially as tanks will on these sbeern battlegrounds where we're fighting against infantry. >> the president was asked about additional weapons and firepower and artillery for ukraine. here it is. >> mr. president, will you will sending more artillery to ukraine? >> yes. >> okay. so he is on the record, yes. the next 24 hours, the white house could announce another $800 million in military aid. but this will be what's known as a presidential drawdown. the last time they could do a presidential drawdown, because congress will need to approve additional funding after this. under a presidential draw down, weapons are pulled from existing u.s. industries, which indicate at the very least from this point on possibly the pace of weapon supplies would slow simply because it has to go through congress and they have to get approval for more funding. what would you expect? >> that's right. this is about speed. so the idea is that this is over before we need to put another bill in place to send more weapons there. this comes down to one thing in the end. the new general on the eastern front for russia has no experience fighting against competent, conventional forces. he has obliterated people in syria and in chechnya, and he doesn't know what to do. he won't know what to do with competent ukrainian forces that have sufficient weapons. and that's what he is going to face. so this is going to be a battle royale in the east. and the question is when he returns to norm and starts engaging in the obliteration of cities because he won't be able to effectively compete on the battlefield. he does not have the kind of junior leadership that he needs to engage in offensive operations for any length of time because of the losses that russia has taken over the last two months. and he will not get competently trained junior leadership for the next 60 to 90 days. we're talking to drag this thing out until july, august, september. and that's why we're throwing all the ammunition and guns and tanks we can right now. >> it sounds like it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. matthew schmidt, thank you so much for being with us. we really appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> i'll be back later this hour. in the meantime, paula newton is up after the break with details on the new ruling, the mask mandate ruling in the united states with public transportation. and partygate scandal is not going anywhere. apologies from boris johnson and calls for a new investigation, demands for the prime minister's resignation. >> but the damage is already done. the public have made up their mind. >> yes. >> they don't believe a word the prime minister says. we believe there's an innovatator in all of us. ♪ that's why we build technology that makes it possible for every business... and every person... to come to the table and do more incredible things. we're a different kind of dentistry. one who believes in doing anything it takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to newatients without insurance - everyday. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan. we'ren your corner and in your corner every step of the way. because your anything is our everything. aspen dental. anything to make you smile. book today at aspendental.com, walk in, or call 1-800-aspendental. i am here because they revolutionized immunotherapy. i am here because they saw how cancer adapts to different oxygen levels and starved it. i am here because they switched off egfr gene mutation and stopped the growth of tumor cells. there's a place that's making one advanced cancer discovery after another for 75 years. i am here... i am here.... because of dana-farber. what we do here changes lives everywhere. i am here. if you wake up thinking about the market and want to make the right moves fast... get decision tech from fidelity.

>> the lockdown chinese mega city of shanghai is reporting nor deaths caused by covid-19 earlier today. the city's municipal government reported an additional seven deaths caused by the virus. so the total official death toll is around 17 in this mega city of 25 million, who was on monday earlier this week when the first three fails were reported in this ongoing and massive outbreak that has infected nearly half a million people since march. so that very low official death toll has been raising a lot of questions among denizens across china and also among health experts, especially here in hong kong. at the peak of the fifth wave of infection this city reported more deaths mr. million any other country or territory around the world. why is it that shanghai has such a low official death toll? well, according to one expert at the university of hong kong, he says it has to do in part with the way mainland china counts covid deaths. we'll bring up the statement for you. the virologist at the university of hong kong saying on the mainland, if the deceased had underlying ailments, mote of them would have been categorized of having died of other diseases instead of covid. shanghai is home to a vulnerable population. the communist party mouthpiece says only 515% of those over 80 are vaccinated. >> i'm struck by what you said about the death toll. the city remains vigilant, this time with more flight suspensions? >> yeah, so cases are following here in hong kong. schools have resumed back on campus starting tomorrow. we know that social distancing rules will be relaxed. but it is extremely difficult to fly in and out of hong kong as hong kong authorities ban airlines, ban flights for carrying infected passengers. we've learned nearly a different flight routes operated by ten different airlines have been banned, coming from places like london, amsterdam, new delhi, even singapore. let's show you the graphic and it shows the sheer number of affected airlines. cathay pacific, all nippon airway, singapore airlines, qatar, klm, the list goes on. it has added an extra layer of uncertainty and anxiety. it also erodes the international travel status, back to you. >> and just when the city is trying to get back upped on its feet. appreciate the update. thank you so much. >> you got it. now the british prime minister is apologizing again for violating covid lockdown rules by attending a birthday party in his honor. tuesday was the first time since being fined by police for his role in the so-called partygate scandal. the parliament will vote thursday over whether there should be an investigation into claims he misled lawmakers about the lockdown. gatherings, but analysts say the vote is unlikely to pass. here's mr. johnson's apology. >> i take this opportunity on the first available sitting day to repeat my wholehearted apology to the house. let me also say, not by way of mitigation or excuse, but purely, purely because it explains my previous words in this house, that it did not occur to me then or subsequently that a gathering in the cabinet room just before a vital meeting on covid strategy could amount to a breach of the rules. >> what a joke. even now as the latest mealy-mouthed apology stumbles out of one side of his mouth, a new set of deflections, distortions pour from the other. but the damage is already done. the public have made up their mind. they don't believe a word the prime minister says. they know what he is. >> okay. so to follow up, the opposition leader urged him to step down. a recent snap poll found six in ten british adults also want him to resign. six in ten. here is the thing. only one in ten actually believes that he will. boris johnson is the first sitting prime minister found to have broken the law. and remember, those are laws his government created. just ahead, cnn returns to bucha, where the local coroner's office has a seemingly endless task recovering the victims of russia's invasion. and what's being condemned in kyiv is being commended in moscow, if you can believe it. details on the military unit being honored by vladimir putin as it faces war crimes accusations in ukraine. mission control, we are go for launch. um, she's eating the rocket ♪ lunchables! built to be eaten. ♪ ♪ ♪i'm so defensive,♪ ♪i got bongos thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ [engine humming] [clapping] ♪ we will, we will rock you ♪ ♪ ♪ the new gmc sierra with hands-free driving offers the most advanced and luxurious pick-up in its class. ♪ we will, we will rock you ♪ yeah, it rocks. you're a one-man stitchwork master. but your staffing plan needs to go up a size. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire >> translator: forever the russian army will be written in history as the most barbaric and inhumane army in the world. >> that was the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy during his nightly address to the nation. he also called russia a source of evil and said targeting our civilians has now become its trademark. this comes as a russian military unit accused of war crimes in bucha is being honored by vladimir putin. the russian president signed a decree monday giving the 64th motor brigade title gods and praising the unit for showing, quote, great heroism and courage. what moscow calls valor, the ukrainians call murder. cnn's phil black reports from bucha where authorities and families continue to recover the victims of russia's heroism. warning, parts of his report are disturbing. >> reporter: morgues aren't supposed to be busy. or so over casspi they need a team of volunteers to move bodies around, and large mobile refrigerators to accommodate them. this is one of seven sites in and around kyiv working to cope with the tide of death left behind by russia's retreating forces. are there still more bodies coming?

president's perspective. in a recent op-ed, our cnn analyst put it like this. it's long past time we level with ourselves about how little we have done and are prepared to do. sadly, never again has become ever, ever again. aaron david miller is a global affairs analyst and a former negotiator for the state department. he joins me now from washington. and your opinion piece was timely. it's provocative. and it is so because it is top of mind for so many, right? those words, they keep ringing in our heads, never again. generations of us after world war ii were clearly naive, and you point out that, look, the phrase "never again" implies action. and yet we're not seeing that action right now, aaron. >> no, in fact historical record makes clear that intervention to stop mass killing, let alone genocide has been the exception, rather than the rule, both for the united states, of course, and for the international community. from the nazi holocaust to cambodia to rwanda to darfur to congo to sudan to syria to myanmar, to the uighurs, and now plain out in front of our eyes the cruelty and barbarity in ukraine is leaving in its wake a series of atrocities, war crimes. and yes, president biden called it genocide. without many good options, frankly, for preventing what is going to be large numbers of civilian deaths and injuries during the course of this next phase of the russian campaign in ukraine. and i wrote that piece because i was increasingly frustrated by the gap between our words, "never again," and our actions. i said i thought it's not never again at all. it's ever, ever again. >> yeah, and it has been disappointing. and we have shameful proof of the failure. in the last month, 96-year-old boris remachenko was killed by a russian strike in kharkiv. he was holocaust survivor, and in a tweet, they quoted him by his very words as a survivor quoting the buchwald oath, saying "creating a new world where peace and freedom reign." this does not look like a place where peace and freedom reign. what does it tell us that in 2022 a survivor of multiple death camps dies in modern war? >> well, i think it shows both the randomness on one hand and the cruelty of conflict. in this case, the determination, willfulness on the part of mr. putin to create a military campaign. and accompany it with the most brutal and savage of tactics and disinformation. the ironsies here we discuss abound. you have a jewish president, volodymyr zelenskyy, presiding over a largely orthodox catholic country being invaded by a russian and his military force, accusing the jewish president of being a nazi, even while mr. putin and his military machine behaves as the nazis did during the 1930s. so i think there is a series of inconsistencies and anomalies and contradictions which all translate i'm afraid into very poor options on the part of the united states, nato, and the international community in an effort to stop mass killings of civilians and war crimes. the only option, paula, would be, if you want to stop mass killing, the only option is to insert american military forces, a no-fly zone, create humanitarian zones, which would essentially mean a significant occupation of ukraine, war with the russians, and the possibilities, however unimaginable they've been up until now, of an escalatory cycle. and i certainly would not play fast and loose with this, lead to the deployment of nuclear weapons. even tactical nuclear weapons. i just think the options are really bad right now. >> and once again, those words "never again" repeated often, but here we are. aaron david miller, thank you so much for your insights here. it's sobering, but we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> sobering indeed. there is still more to come
