===(HOL/ON CAM)===
     UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN DELEGATIONS WILL MEET FOR TALKS IN THE COMING HOURS, EVEN AS BITTER FIGHTING CONTINUES.
     THE DELEGATIONS WILL MEET NEAR UKRAINE'S BORDER WITH BELARUS, WHICH IS A KEY RUSSIAN ALLY.
     UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT, THOUGH, APPEARING TO HAVE LITTLE HOPE THE CONFLICT WILL BE RESOLVED.
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          Aleksandr Lukashenko asked for the Ukrainian-Russian delegations to meet on the Pripyat River -- and I emphasize this -- without any conditions. I will say this frankly: as always, I don't really believe in the result of this meeting, but let them try, so then, later on, any citizen of Ukraine would have any doubt that I, the President, did not try to stop the war when I had a chance, small as it was.
===(HOL/VO-KYIV SUNDAY AM)===
     SO FAR, UKRAINIAN FORCES HAVE MANAGED TO DEFEND THE CAPITAL KYIV ... DESPITE BEING OUTGUNNED AND OUTMANNED.
===(HOL/VO-DRONE VIDEO)===
     THIS VIDEO -- RELEASED BY UKRAINE'S ARMED FORCES -- SHOWS A DRONE ATTACK ON RUSSIAN FORCES OUTSIDE KYIV.
     BUT RUSSIAN FORCES ARE PRESSING FORWARD.
===(HOL/VO-CONVOY SAT PICS)===
     NEW SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW A RUSSIAN MILITARY CONVOY, STRETCHING MORE THAN FOUR KILOMETERS, ON A ROADWAY THAT LEADS TO KYIV.
===(HOL/VO-RUS TROOPS IN BERDYANSK)===
     TO THE SOUTH, RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF A TOWN ON UKRAINE'S COAST THAT'S HOME TO A SMALL NAVAL BASE.
     THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE TOWN'S MAYOR.
===(HOL/VO-PUTIN SS)===
     MEANWHILE, RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN ONLY SEEMS TO BE ESCALATING THE CRISIS.
     ON SUNDAY, HE PUT RUSSIA'S DETERRENCE FORCES -- INCLUDING ITS NUCLEAR ARMS -- ON HIGH ALERT.
===(SOT-PUTIN)===
          Top officials in leading NATO countries have allowed themselves to make aggressive comments about our country. Therefore, I hereby order the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff to place the Russian Army Deterrence Force on combat alert.
===(HOL/NATVO-RUSSIA PROTESTS)===
PAUSE 6 SECS
     BUT HE'S FACING PUSHBACK FROM THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
     NEARLY 6-THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DETAINED SO FAR, AS ANTI-WAR PROTESTS CONTINUE ACROSS RUSSIA.
===(HOL/ON CAM)===
     MOSCOW IS ALSO FACING CONDEMNATION FROM MANY GLOBAL LEADERS -- AND INCREASINGLY SEVERE SANCTIONS FROM THE WEST AND ITS ALLIES.
     AND THE E.U. AND OTHERS ARE RAMPING *UP* SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE, PLEDGING MORE WEAPONS AND MILITARY GEAR.
===(HOL/VO-US TROOPS IN LATVIA)===
     MEANWHILE, THE U.S. SAYS MORE THAN 4-THOUSAND U.S. ARMY TROOPS DEPLOYED TO EUROPE HAVE HAD THEIR TOUR OF DUTY EXTENDED.
     HOWEVER, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE U.S. WILL NOT PUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

===(HOL/2BOX-VO-KHARKIV DAMAGE)===
     ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO EVACUATE CIVILIANS FROM FIVE OF UKRAINE'S MOST BESIEGED CITIES COULD GET UNDERWAY SOON.
     CITIES LIKE KHARKIV, WHICH YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW ... WHERE ENTIRE HOMES AND APARTMENT BLOCKS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO RUBBLE BY RUSSIAN AIR STRIKES.
     RUSSIA PROPOSED THE CEASEFIRE PLAN, WHICH WOULD START IN THE NEXT NINETY MINUTES OR SO.
     BUT RIGHT NOW, IT'S UNCLEAR IF EITHER SIDE WILL ACTUALLY ADHERE TO IT.
===(HOL/2BOX-MAP-RUSSIAN TROOPS IN UKRAINE)===
     IT COMES AS RUSSIA'S ATTACKS ON UKRAINE ARE INTENSIFYING, WITH HEAVY FIGHTING REPORTED MONDAY NEAR THE CAPITAL KYIV, AND AROUND CITIES TO THE SOUTH.
     ONE SENIOR U-S DEFENSE OFFICIAL SAYS NEARLY ALL RUSSIAN TROOPS THAT WERE ONCE MASSED ALONG UKRAINE'S BORDER ARE NOW INSIDE THE COUNTRY.
     THE RED STRIPED AREAS OF THIS MAP SHOW WHERE RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE NOW PRESENT.
===(HOL/2BOX-VO-UKRAINE EVACUEES IN BELGIUM)===
     MEANWHILE, THE U.N. REPORTS MORE THAN one-POINT-seven MILLION REFUGEES HAVE FLED UKRAINE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.
     AND the e-u warns that NUMBER COULD EVENTUALLY REACH FIVE MILLION.
     FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE TRIED TO REACH SAFETY, THEIR JOURNEY HAS BEEN CUT TRAGICALLY SHORT.
     SEVERAL EVACUATION ATTEMPTS OVER THE WEEKEND FELL APART WITHIN HOURS ... AFTER RUSSIAN TROOPS WERE ACCUSED OF SHELLING THE ESCAPE ROUTES.
===(HOL/2BOX-VO-IRPIN EVACUATIONS)===
     NEW VIDEO SHOWS CIVILIANS MAKING IT OUT OF IRPIN, A KYIV SUBURB, ON MONDAY...
     ONE DAY AFTER LOCAL OFFICIALS SAID SEVERAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING ONE FAMILY, WERE KILLED AS THEY TRIED TO FLEE.
     WE'VE ALSO SEEN PUSHBACK OVER THE ROUTES MOSCOW IS PROPOSING, MANY OF WHICH LEAD TO RUSSIA AND BELARUS.
     UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT, SUGGESTING RUSSIA'S PROMISES TO PROTECT CIVILIANS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PROPAGANDA.
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          There was an agreement on humanitarian corridors. Did it work? Russian tanks worked instead. Russian grads. They even mined the roads, which was agreed to transport food and medicine for people and children in Mariupol. They even destroyed the buses that have to take people out. But at the same time, they are opening a small corridor to the occupied territory for several dozen people -- not so much to Russia as to propagandists, directly to the TV camera like that's the one who saves. Just cynicism. Just propaganda. Nothing more, no humanitarian sense.

===(MAX/ON CAM)===
     IT'S MONDAY APRIL 4-TH, 11 A-M IN UKRAINE.
     WE'RE FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS OUT OF THE SOUTHERN UKRAINIAN CITY OF ODESA.
     IN THE LAST FEW HOURS, OFFICIALS THERE CONFIRMED AN OVERNIGHT AIRSTRIKE IN THE CITY.
WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT ANY CASUALTIES.
     TO THE EAST, IN THE BESIEGED CITY OF MARIUPOL, UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY A HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR WILL BE WORKING TODAY.
     EFFORTS TO EVACUATE CIVILIANS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN HAMPERED, AS FIGHTING CONTINUES AROUND THE HARD-HIT PORT CITY.
===(MAX/MAP-BUCHA)===
     IT COMES AS UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR BODIES IN BUCHA AND OTHER TOWNS NEAR KYIV.
     RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE RETREATED FROM THE REGION, BUT UKRAINE SAYS DANGER FROM LAND MINES HAS SLOWED SEARCH EFFORTS.
     MEANWHILE, NEW IMAGES REVEAL THE EXTENT OF THE HORRORS VISITED UPON BUCHA.
     A WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS DISTURBING, AND HARD TO WATCH.
===(MAX/VO-BUCHA MASS GRAVE)===
     A CNN CREW CAPTURED THESE IMAGES OF A MASS GRAVE AT A CHURCH IN BUCHA.
THE MAYOR SAYS UP TO 300 PEOPLE -- MANY OF THEM CIVILIANS -- COULD BE BURIED THERE.
===(MAX/VO-MASS GRAVE SAT PICS)===
     THESE SATELLITE IMAGES, TAKEN JUST LAST WEEK, SHOW A LONG TRENCH DUG INTO THE GROUNDS OF THE CHURCH WHERE THAT MASS GRAVE WAS FOUND.
     RUSSIA HAS DENIED TARGETING CIVILIANS IN UKRAINE, CLAIMING THE IMAGES COMING OUT OF BUCHA ARE FAKE.
     BUT WORLD LEADERS AREN'T BUYING IT.
     MANY ARE NOW DEMANDING INVESTIGATIONS INTO POTENTIAL WAR CRIMES.
     IN HIS NIGHTLY ADDRESS ON SUNDAY, UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT ECHOED THEIR CALLS.
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          The world has already seen many war crimes at different times, on different continents, but it is time to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the Russian military the last manifestation of such evil on Earth
===(MAX/2BOX-VO-KHARKIV DAMAGE)===
     STORIES OF BRUTALITY BY RUSSIAN TROOPS HAVE BEEN EMERGING ACROSS UKRAINE.
     ON SUNDAY, THE REGIONAL MILITARY GOVERNOR OF KHARKIV SAID THERE WERE 23 CASUALTIES -- INCLDUING CHILDREN -- AFTER RUSSIAN FORCES FIRED ON PART OF THE CITY.
     AND HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH SAYS IT HAS DOCUMENTED ALLEGATIONS OF WAR CRIMES IN AREAS AROUND KYIV, KHARKIV AND CHERNIHIV.

===(ISA/ON CAM)===
     ALL EYES ON MOSCOW -- WHERE RUSSIA'S ANNUAL "VICTORY DAY" PARADE IS HOURS AWAY.
===(ISA/VO-VICTORY DAY REHEARSALS)===
     THIS IS VIDEO FROM REHEARSALS ON SATURDAY.
     THE HOLIDAY MARKS THE DEFEAT OF NAZI GERMANY DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
     BUT TODAY -- UNDER THE SHADOW OF A NEW WAR IN EUROPE -- THE EVENT HAS TAKEN ON ADDED SIGNIFICANCE.
     WESTERN LEADERS AND ANALYSTS HAVE WARNED THAT RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN COULD USE THE EVENT TO MAKE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE WAR IN UKRAINE.
===(ISA/VO-UKRAINE VICTORY DAY SS)===
     THE VICTORY DAY CELEBRATIONS IN MOSCOW COME ONE DAY AFTER UKRAINE MARKED ITS OWN DAY OF REMEMBRANCE...
     WITH PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY ACCUSING RUSSIA OF FAILING TO LEARN THE LESSONS OF WORLD WAR TWO
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          Russia has forgotten everything that was important to the victors of World War II. But Ukraine and the whole free world will remind it.
So that then no one will forget. So that really important words - "never again" - which are repeated all over the free world every year on the days of remembrance of the victims of World War II regain their weight again.
===(ISA/VO-RUSSIAN DEPUTY PM IN MARIUPOL)===
     BASED ON VIDEO RELEASED SUNDAY, A RUSSIAN DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER HAS VISITED MARIUPOL ... THE COUNTRY'S HIGHEST RANKING OFFICIAL TO SET FOOT THERE SINCE THE WAR STARTED.
     THE SOUTHERN UKRAINIAN PORT CITY HAS BEEN DECIMATED BY WEEKS OF BOMBARDMENT.
     AND IT'S NOW ALMOST ENTIRELY UNDER RUSSIAN CONTROL...
===(ISA/VO-AZOVSTAL SHELLING)===
     EXCEPT HERE ... INSIDE THE SPRAWLING AZOVSTAL STEEL PLANT.
     THAT'S WHERE A GROUP OF UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS ARE STILL HOLED UP -- REFUSING TO SURRENDER -- AND VOWING TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
===(ISA/VO-EVACUEES IN ZAPORIZHZHIA)===
     MEANWHILE, MANY OF THE CIVILIANS WHO SPENT WEEKS SHELTERING ALONGSIDE THOSE TROOPS ARE NOW BACK IN UKRAINIAN-HELD TERRITORY.
     THE RED CROSS SAID SUNDAY MORE THAN 170 EVACUEES FROM AZOVSTAL AND MARIUPOL HAD ARRIVED IN ZAPORIZHZHIA.

===(ANNA/ON CAM)===
     WE BEGIN IN UKRAINE --
     A COUNTRY TORN APART BY RUSSIA'S ONGOING WAR ... EVEN AS IT PUSHES TO SECURE A NEW, POST-WAR FUTURE.
     UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT IS FRAMING THE COMING WEEK AS ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL IN THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY.
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          Tomorrow a truly historic week begins. A week when we will hear the answer from the European Union on the candidate status for Ukraine. We already have a positive decision from the European Commission, and at the end of the new week there will be a response from the European Council.
===(ANNA/VO-UKRAINE & EU FLAGS IN KYIV)===
     THE SUPPORT OF E-U LEADERS WOULD BE AN EARLY STEP IN A MEMBERSHIP PROCESS THAT OFTEN TAKES YEARS.
     AND MISTER ZELENSKY WARNS THE MOVE COULD BRING EVEN MORE ATTACKS FROM MOSCOW.
===(SOT-ZELENSKY)===
          We should expect greater hostile activity from Russia. Purposefully - demonstratively. This week exactly. And not only against Ukraine, but also against other European countries. We are preparing. We are ready. We warn partners.
===(ANNA/VO-SEVERODONETSK)===
     THOSE WARNINGS COME AS FIERCE FIGHTING CONTINUES IN EASTERN UKRAINE'S DONBAS REGION ... AND THE CRITICAL CITY OF SEVERODONETSK.
     FIGHTING HAS RAGED THERE FOR WEEKS ... AS RUSSIAN FORCES SETTLE INTO A GRINDING AND BRUTAL WAR OF ATTRITION.
===(ANNA/VO-DNIPRO AREA BLAST)===
     WE'RE ALSO SEEING MORE RUSSIAN STRIKES IN SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL UKRAINE.
     THIS WAS THE SCENE IN A TOWN NEAR DNIPRO.
     UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST ONE PERSON WAS KILLED WHEN A FUEL TANK EXPLODED AFTER A MISSILE STRIKE ON AN OIL DEPOT.
     TO THE SOUTH, OFFICIALS IN MYKOLAIV SAY TWO CIVILIANS WERE KILLED BY RUSSIAN SHELLING THERE.
===(ANNA/VO-AZOVSTAL EVACUEES)===
     MEANWHILE, RUSSIAN STATE MEDIA REPORTS THAT TWO UKRAINIAN COMMANDERS WHO DEFENDED THE AZOVSTAL STEEL PLANT IN MARIUPOL, HAVE NOW BEEN TAKEN TO RUSSIA FOR, QUOTE, "INVESTIGATIVE REASONS."
     STATE MEDIA PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT MORE THAN ONE-THOUSAND UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS TAKEN PRISONER IN MARIUPOL HAD ALSO BEEN TRANSFERRED TO RUSSIA.

((SOT: ATLANTA MAYOR KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS)) 
     "Protest has purpose. When Dr. King was assassinated, we didn't do this to our city. So if you love this city -- this city that has had a legacy of black mayors and black police chiefs and people who care about this city where more than 50% of the business owners in metro Atlanta are minority business owners -- if you care about this city, then go home. / This is chaos, and we're buying into it. This won't change anything. We're no longer talking about the murder of an innocent man. We're talking about how you're burning police cars on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia. Go home."

((SOT - FORMER VP JOE BIDEN, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE))
     "We're going to win this race. Just look at what has happened since yesterday... 24 hours... we were behind in Georgia now we're ahead. And we're going to win that state...  24 hours ago, we're behind in Pennsylvania and we are going to win Pennsylvania."

((TAKE LEADERBOARD FULLSCREEN))
     NOW IT APPEARS SENATOR DAVID PERDUE AND JON OSSOFF WILL DO THE SAME.

And there’s nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that you’ve recalculated." / RAFFENSPERGER: "Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong."

((KATIE/CONTVO))
     DURING THE HOUR-LONG CALL ... THE PRESIDENT ALSO HINTED THAT RAFENSPERGER COULD FACE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OVER GEORGIA'S ELECTIONS.
     HOWEVER -- ONE GEORGIA STATE LAW PROFESSOR WHO SPOKE WITH FOX FIVE SAYS ... IN FACT ... THE CALL MAY CAUSE LEGAL ISSUES FOR THE PRESIDENT.

((SOT: CLARK CUNNINGHAM, GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY LAW PROFESSOR))
     "Federal law makes it a crime for a federal official to use their official position to try to influence the outcome of a presidential election or to influence the appointment of presidential electors. And that is exactly what President Trump was doing in that phone call."
