President Volodymyr Zelensky gives a message in English to the whole world warning that Russia is waging war not just on Ukraine, but on freedom itself. That, as a senior U.S. defense official says Ukraine has forced the Russians back on the front lines East of Kyiv some 15 to 20 miles today. And, with Putin's desperation likely growing, President Biden says the danger of chemical warfare is very real.
The U.S. formally declares Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine, citing attacks on a maternity hospital in Mariupol and a theatre where hundreds of people, including children, sheltered. Plus, WNBA star Brittney Griner’s fate remains undetermined as she remains detained by Russian authorities, and Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. Secretary of State dies at 84.
