a glimpse at what much of eastern ukraine now looks like. simply broken. in dnipro at the speed of a blink, a russian missile smashes into an important bridge. that and other attacks they say are part of a plan to decapitate russian resupply rourters. commanders on the ground say the breakthrough may blunt moscow s push to sweep through the east. progress elsewhere does little to change the fate of mariupol. the last battalion inside faces near certain death and they know it. making this a song of defiance all the more remarkable. that is ukraine and battlefield echoes through the bunker. the words haunting. it is sweeter to die in battle than to live in chains. we begin in lviv, western ukraine. scott mclain, what s the latest? reporter: well, some good news maybe. the u.n. special envoy for the for ukraine, i should say, has just said that there is a human darren convoy on route to mariupol to try to get people out of what he calls a bleak hell. probably an unders ....

elated, spoke to cnn s brianna keilar. as soon as trevor was released, we were on the phone with trevor when the president called. so and he, again, totally gracious and wonderful and kind and said he looked forward to seeing us in the white house again. so and tell us how trevor is feeling. tell us what he said about this. he sounds kind of subdued. i think he s a little overwhelmed. he seemed to be in shock a little bit. they had moved him to another prison. they moved him to a moscow prison this week. we didn t know that. went to the same prison that i think paul wheewhelan was held for a long time. they flew him from there to turkey and then trevor quickly told us that the american plane pulled up next to the russian plane and they walked both prisoners across at the same time like you see in the movies. in turkey? in turkey. and then they were leaving turkey and in the air when he called us and told us this. so they re en route back to we believ ....
