including president biden, will hold a virtual meeting with ukraine s president zelenskyy on sunday just before the key date of may 9th, which is victory day in russia. let s begin with sarah sidener. what can you tell us about the operation in mariupol? reporter: a third and fresh rescue is under way to try to get to the people still trapped in the dark, dank maze under the steel plant. the problem is the bombardments are continuing, even after russia said there would be a cease-fire to allow people to exit. russia has once again lied about what it is going to do. in the meantime, there are bloody battles being waged and some of them are inside the plant because a commander said russian forces have made it inside that plant and there is fierce fighting that continues to go on. this is all happening as people watch and wait for may 9th and that is when russia celebrates v-day. they believe that there is a real effort from russia to try and crush mariupol, to try and take it
