hours, injuring some 600 people. and now ukrainian officials say russian troops are blocking evacuations from part of that complex. breaking promises again in the east u.s. and nato officials acknowledge russian forces there are making incremental progress. i'm told that the u.s. has seen some evidence of improvement in the russian military's ability to combine air and ground operations as well as its capacity for resupplying forces in the field, two issues, two problems they ran into up north, bianna. >> yeah, they are making adjustments and making inroads there. plus, breaking overnight, alleged ukrainian counterstrikes, a fuel depots with attacked and set on fire in part of the donetsk region controlled by russian-backed forces. now, all of this as we're learning of another american casualty in this war. a 22-year-old who was fighting along side ukrainian forces, we'll have more on that in a moment. some of the many, many internationals who come here to join the fight. let's bring in cnn international security editor nick paton walsh in kryvvi rih, ukraine in the central part of the country. so tell us, nick, first, what is the latest on this off again, on again, off again plan to evacuate civilians trapped in that steel plant? is there a path out? is russia respecting it? >> reporter: i'd have to say it is hard to tell. it does look like the statement from the ukrainian president's office that renewed plan would be put into effect today to get civilians out, getting very little details and i think many may have speculated possibly on the back of work done by the u.n. secretary-general antonio guterres who met vladimir putin and was in kyiv to possibly engineer some kind of humanitarian corridor, though that work seemingly disrespected by the russian decision to hit kyiv with air strikes the moment that guterres was in the capital city. there are suggestions that the russians are blocking access to the azovstal steel plant. deeply troubling suggestions from ukrainian officials that the number of injured from recent air strikes, remember, there was intense bombardment in the last 24, 48 hours, possibly as many as 50 air strikes, ukrainian officials have claimed numbers we can't separately verify that the number of injured may be up to now 600. so clearly, jim, here, a deer deteriorating situation inside mariupol. the fate of it so vital, not just because of what it says about that important port city, but what it could potentially do to the ability for russia to redeploy forces elsewhere in the fight. here's what we heard from one commander inside that city. >> translator: i don't know the details. i know the mission has arrived in zaporizhzhia, and that they are going to try and mount a rescue operation. these are hundreds of people. and they have dozens of children with them. the youngest is four months old. yesterday was a heavy strike on a direct hit on the field hospital that is situated inside azov steel plant and the operating theater was hit directly. and all the surgical equipment, everything that is necessary to perform surgery has been destroyed. so right now we cannot treat our wounded. >> reporter: extraordinary that this number of weeks in, jim, we're still talking about scenes of staggering humanity, children dropped undergrounds, the russians clearly not unable to let that humanitarian disaster out for help. >> people at home who might wonder why are they taking refuge there. they're in the steel plant. it was the only safe place they could find as russia continues to bomb that city and civilians have been suffering. nick paton walsh in kryvvi rih, ukraine, thank you so much. there are new images in to cnn of fresh damage in kyiv. president zelenskyy accuses russia of firing five missiles into the ukrainian capital, the same time that the u.n. secretary-general was there, finishing up his visit with the ukrainian president, following his visit just the day before in moscow with vladimir putin. matt rivers is in kyiv. zelenskyy says, matt, that this shows ukrainians cannot relax, no matter where they are, we have seen that here in lviv, missiles can strike anywhere in the country. >> that's exactly right. and it had been a few weeks since we have seen cruise missiles strike here in kyiv. these latest strikes coming not from where we are in a central part of kyiv. we heard the explosions, we saw the smoke, and once again, jim, we're reminded even though russia says it was targeting a military facility, what ends up happening is civilians are injured and killed. what we're hearing from the defense ministry of russia, they were targeting a factory in -- near central kyiv that is one of ukraine's, if not the leading manufacturer of air to air guided missiles and aircraft parts, russia saying that it hit that factory, but at the also know based on our own reporting on the ground that what they did the most damage to was a residential building where we know at least six people have been hospitalized as a result of that attack, because of fire, subsequently that happened, because of that missile strike, with carbon monoxide poisoning, other injuries, we know that at least one person was killed as a result of that strike, a 54-year-old woman working in kyiv as a journalist. we have sound for you from an eyewitness at that scene, a ukrainian american. >> one building was completely on fire. like the whole -- you can see the whole story is on fire. and story above it is on fire. and the building next to it, high rise apartment building, the chunk of it is gone, up to four floors, first floors, like, half gone. i have no information if there was somebody there or not on this, but, yeah, it looked really gruesome. >> and, jim, you talked about it off the top here, what message does this send from russia to the united nations and the rest of the world? the u.n. secretary-general was here, not far from where those missiles struck. russia knew that and they went in with these strikes anyway. if you're hoping for some sort of breakthrough where the u.n. secretary-general managed to make some progress with russia that humanitarian corridor, i think we have our answer. >> listen, whatever the russian defense ministry says, you invade a country, you drop bombs and missiles on its cities, civilians are going to die. we have seen that by the thousands here since the invasion. matt rivers in kyiv, thanks so much. bianna? >> cnn has confirmed that an american citizen, 22-year-old marine veteran willy joseph cancel of tennessee was killed while fighting alongside ukrainian forces in ukraine. according to his family, he was working with a private military contracting company when he was killed on monday. his mother tells cnn he believed in what ukraine is fighting for, and wanted to help contain the conflict, quote, so that it didn't come here, and it may be our american soldiers, excuse me, wouldn't have to be involved in it. his mother says cancel's body has not yet been found. just a tragedy there. john kirby, this morning, acknowledging that his death and the fact that he is a father of a 7-month-old baby. let's bring in retired general wesley clark, former snato supreme allied commander and cnn military analyst. great to have you on. let's pick up on u.s. assessment that russia is slowly making inroads in the east there, and in the south. this comes as they're still having the logistics issue with food, ammunition, and weaponry there, supplying their troops. but how concerned are you to hear that they are actually breaking more ground? >> well, it is to be expected that they're learning some lessons on this. they're taking it slow, they're moving forward in company columns, mostly road bound. they have some helicopter support behind them. they got lots of artillery, and they're trying not to outrun their artillery, not to lose communications with the helicopter, and not to outrun their logistics and they're meeting tough resistance. with enough artillery support and the helicopter support, they can force the ukrainians back. this is a concern. there is about 120 kilometers distance between the north and the south arms of that double encirclement. if they close that distance, even by half, it puts the ukrainians in a really tough box. they're already fighting in 270 degree directions. every additional kilometer is a painful loss for the ukrainians. so, yeah, we're concerned. >> general clark, the russian intention here to grab new territory certainly, but also to attempt to surround those ukrainian forces fighting in those 270 degrees as you described, if russia gets there, right, is able to do that, is in a point where u.s. nato military support has to go beyond supplying weapons and imposing economic sanctions? because, you know, that scenario could be devastating for the ukrainian military. >> that's right. there will come a point where the ukrainian military has to decide whether it holds on to the strong defensive positions in the far east at the sort of top of a horseshoe, if you look at it that way, or tries to pull out and save the bulk of the force by coming back across the dnipro river. and that's a big move and puts everything in motion and all at risk at that point. so i'm sure the ukrainian commanders are looking at this, considering, it is a race against time to get the additional u.s. and nato support in there. most of that support hasn't arrived as i would see it, so the artillery, the potential of -- it is probably not there yet. poland is supposed to supply a bunch of tanks and artillery and that's probably not there yet. you can be sure there is a real race logistically in kyiv, to pull that equipment in, form it up with units and move it into reinforce the shoulders, to protect that horseshoe. >> right, because it was received with open arms and jubilation yesterday in ukraine to hear president biden say that he'll be asking congress for $33 billion in additional funding, $20 billion of that just for military help to ukraine, but obviously that takes time to get there and takes time to train the ukrainians as quickly as they're trying to expedite that. i want to get your response to an aide to president zelenskyy who said it would probably be by the end of may that they would have sufficient training and armory to push the russians back. he said by mid-june we will be ready to go on the attack. what do you think about that time frame and any concerns you may have about the few weeks in the interim, basically the entire month of may? >> yeah, well, there is concern, and as jim said there might be a decision point there that we have to do something more than what is being done. right now, i'm sure that's being looked at on the inside. i think the zelenskyy aide comments are realistic in terms of timing and that assumes some russian attempts to interfere with the logistics flow. but i do think that the ukrainians are thinking about this the right way. not going to get to a successful end to this conflict until russia is pushed out of donbas. and at that point, there is an incentive on the part of russia to negotiate, but the diplomats argue about crimea, let the ukrainians retake the south, but then you got a chance to end the conflict successfully without an an aggressor being rewarded for his aggression. so i think the ukrainians are thinking about this in a realistic way, russia is going to reinforce more. >> yeah. i think folks want this to be a short war, but there are a lot of indication it will be a long one. general wesley clark, good to have you on. >> thank you. coming up next, this hour, a lack of food, water, basic sanitation also posing a threat to those people left behind in mariupol. we're going to speak to dr. sanjay gupta about all the health risks. and they're severe. and president biden as we mentioned wants $33 billion more to send to ukraine in both humanitarian aid and weapons aid. i'll speak to the first ukrainian born member of congress, republican, about whether her party will support it. and the chair of the january 6th committee says he wants to speak to more of his fellow lawmakers about the capitol attack. could the investigation prompt a new batch of subpoenas?

>> well, it can be awful as you might suspect. first of all, you know, with regard to the horrific situation with so many bodies, corpses there, that is a horrible situation. that typically does not lead to spread of infectious diseases, how much most infectious diseases spread from live bodies to live bodies. all the other things you mentioned, both acutely and longer term can be really problematic, and it is an issue of basic things like the most important thing was that there are shortages of water and food and medical supplies and then there is difficulties distributing what little they do have. that's obviously the most significant. but then you talk about exacerbating existing conditions because of the low vaccination rates. because of the poor living conditions, and just worsening of chronic diseases because you can't get people medications, basic medications for heart disease, diabetes, things like that. so it really becomes a confluence of events. you see this in situations of conflict, you see this after natural disasters. and i remind you, you may remember, even in haiti, after the earthquake, it was several months later when you started to see significant cholera outbreaks. so we talk about the acute period right now, because of the obvious acute needs, but you have to sort of forecast months into the future about that impact as well. which is what public health officials try and do. >> and, sanjay, what makes this more troubling is before the war, and before covid, ukraine had one of the lowest routine immunization rates in the world. and we know that country is not alone in that respect, especially after the past couple of years of the pandemic. how serious of an issue is this? >> i find this to be an incredibly serious issue, and as you point out, it got worsened by the pandemic, but even before that, you know, we're talking about vaccine preventable deadly diseases. preventable, totally preventable with vaccinations. with so many countries around the world, ukraine being one of them, but also afghanistan, somalia, places like that, there are these vaccination campaigns that are sort of these catch-up vaccination campaigns and i was jotting this down beforehand, they say there is -- in 2019, 57 campaigns that were supposed to take place in 43 countries and look at the number. it is affecting hundreds of millions of people, 200 million people, many of those campaigns ended up getting postponed because of the pandemic. so point is they were already behind, campaign to catch up, started to go into place, and the catch-up campaign had to essentially be delayed as well. and, you know, you're talking, you know, measles, tuberculosis, polio, that potentially are not being addressed. and then you lay on all the other acute problems we're talking about, and that's the real issue. i don't want to overstate things because people always imagine these gigantic epidemics or outbreaks that emerge after this, and, you know, they certainly can, but the real problem is because of the lack of infrastructure in the first place, the lack of essentialized water supply, lack of vaccination campaigns, it takes the current situation and just accelerates it. >> such an important issue, according to unicef, only so 10% of ukrainian children have been immunized against hepatitis b, that's from 2016. this is prewar, prepandemic. dr. sanjay gupta, thank you so much. well, coming up, hearings on the january 6th insurrection in primetime. we'll have details on the select committee's plan up next. orever♪ ( ♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the e moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ you're probably thinking that these two are in some sort of lover's quarrel. they're both invested... green energy. and also each other. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop. what would you like the power to d hey businesses! something epic!you all e so we're giving every business, our best deals on every iphone - including the iphone 13 pro with 5g. that's the one with the amazing camera?

>> well, i think, you know, i'll be honest with you, as dragging our feet, we're getting battered because we understand more that, you know, we need to help them to hold the ground. if ukraine doesn't hold the ground, the crisis is going to escalate, not just to europe, but worldwide. and what is happening, i went to odesa, to my second trip to ukraine, and russians blocking the ports of odesa. it will create a lot of problems and famine and collapsed government around the world. i think it is a very dangerous situation. and you u.n. has a responsibility to put pressure on them. i know secretary-general just visited kyiv, and he said they failed, but, you know what, we need to have that attitude like at the -- failure is not an option. we need to figure out how we can stop this insanity and international community to put pressure. if russia wants to exist as a country, they need to get to the table. >> is there a point at which -- i understand the arguments, the rational for not risking a direct military conflict with russia, is there a point in your view where direct military involvement might be necessary? russia's making some advances in the east, if they're able to, say, surround ukrainian forces there? is there a point where your mind changes and says, no, we have to get involved? >> well, i think there are different ways how we can get involved now. i think there is providing property security assistance for ukrainians to fight the battle is important. we need red line and be proactive and say what is not acceptable. if russia deciding to go and go further with weapons that really can cause a lot of problems to all of us, to the whole world, i think it needs to be said clearly international community, not just us, we need countries like china and other ones say, you know what, you can do a lot of these things but you are not going to be waving your flag with nuclear -- and all of this different chemical things because this is a dangerous conversation to have. so i think we need to be p proactive on things like that and say the response will be very different and russia needs to get to the table and stop doing this things. i think some things need to be -- beforehand and i hope that, you know, we'll have more leadership on this issue. >> there is, remarkably really, that europe, the world is still doing business with russia, buying oil and gas. there are discussions of complete embargoes and weaning off dependence on gas. those are big steps, but russia is still making money, more money than it was making per month before the war. do you believe the u.s. needs to step in here and say this stops today? not in several weeks or several months, it stops today? >> i think we can take more leadership, and help germany and push germany, particularly and not single them out, but germany is the biggest problem in europe. and the biggest economy in europe. you know, to really to tell them, you know what, we have some policies we can help you in long-term, and to be able not to be dependent on russia, but there are some things they can do in short-term and we can help them to address some of the things. and i understand it will -- but to tell you the truth, warthe w going to impact all of us and industries. the decision we have to make, do we want to have maybe stronger pain for shorter period of time or very long pain for longer period of time? and i believe that it is better to take the pain for shorter period of time and recover the economy and move forward because going to be a long-term war, the implications are going to be significant. >> remarkably g20 host indonesia has invited the russian president vladimir putin to participate later this year in november, the summit in bali. the u.s. opposes that. how do you think the u.s. should respond? should the u.s. refuse to attend? should president biden refuse to attend if putin attends as well? >> i think we need to have a discussion with international community and help better foreign policy. there are a lot of different reasons with other countries are doing and their dependency on russia and china. and china -- we spend a lot of money and a lot of times to countries that do not support us, and then don't support our lives. i think we need peace and have smarter foreign policy to work with international community, to make sure that they know where stand and they know what it means to be our friend and what not to be our friend. the implications of that. so i think we haven't been doing a good job with that and we have to strengthen that so then we have a better collaboration because the whole world will benefit if this crisis and this war stops and i think a lot of countries just really have some dependency and problems with countries like russia, china, for different reasons. we need to have more leadership and all try to -- if you can see that russia tried to embarrass us and they tried to do all these things and i think we can be smarter because we're a powerful country and i'll be honest with you, people want to be friends with us. >> congresswoman victoria spartz, american, but also ukrainian at heart. this is your home. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you so much. ahead, a critical decision, germany says they must try the unrealistic to break away from dependence on russian oil and gas as we were just discussing there. the impact of that discussion coming up. you could be using the wrong detergent. and wasting up to 20 gallons of water. skip the rinse withth finish quantum. its activelift technology prprovides an unbeatable clean on 24 hour dried-on ststains. skip the rinse with finish to save our water.r. this is the new world of work. each day looks different than the last. but whatever work become the servicenow platform ll make it just, flow. whether it's finding new ways to help you serve your cuomers, orchesating a safe return to the office... wait. an office?

>> reporter: i spoke with larry connor, the pilot of this mission which was organized by axiom space. he just spent 15 days living and working up at the international space station alongside three russian cosmonauts. he described those cosmonauts as very gracious hosts. they invited them over to the russian segment of the spaces. they shared two dinners with them, and the russians also said that they would be happy to share their toilet in the russian segment. i will let larry connor explain why. >> it's a remarkably durable piece of equipment that the russians developed. that's the other reason why we have to operate as one group. all the international partners. if the toilet ever goes down -- by the way, we had one day when it was down for a couple of hours. well, we go -- in our case escorted to the russian side, and they're happy to let us -- yeah. let us use that. >> reporter: despite those two dinners and all of the interaction, larry says the situation on the ground in ukraine never came up. larry connor had more than 1,000 hours of -- 1,000 training hours at johnson space center and at spacex's headquarters in hawthorne, california, to train for this mission. this was a massive research mission. more than 25 experiments were conducted. these astronauts, private astronauts, spent 14-hour days trying to get all of this continue. the thing that larry connor says surprised him the most was just how difficult it was to actually do all that research in microgravity despite all of that training that the axiom mission had. they say they still were grateful to they had professional nasa astronauts on board. he called it a humbling experience. >> grateful for some toilet diplomacy, too. who knew there was such a thing?
