Ukrainians Push Back Russian Forces East Of Kyiv

A senior U.S. defense official says Ukrainians have managed to push back Russian forces about 34 miles away from Kyiv’s city center even though Russian forces appear to be “digging in” and “establishing defensive positions.” CNN Senior International Correspondent Sam Kiley tells Anderson Cooper what it’s been like in Kyiv in recent hours and says, “things are going relatively well for the Ukrainians at the moment.” Plus, the U.S. government has formally declared Russia’s military has committed war crimes in Ukraine. It remains to be seen, however, whether there will be any accountability for those accused of carrying out the alleged crimes, and whether Russian President Vladimir Putin himself will be forced to bear any responsibility. David Remnick is an editor for The New Yorker and won a Pulitzer Prize for his book on the Soviet Union. He joins AC360 to discuss Putin’s inner circle and his decision-making process.
