The first war crimes trial out of the Russia-Ukraine war is over. A captured Russian tank commander pleaded guilty to killing a Ukrainian civilian and today inside of a Kyiv courtroom was sentenced to life in prison. But Russian officials today hinted that they'll be conducting their own trials of Ukrainian soldiers, with the recently surrendered defenders from Mariupol the primary targets for tribunals. Will this be the first of many war crimes trials to come out of this conflict?
Then we're going to briefly turn away from Ukraine and look toward another potential conflict that could closely mirror what's been playing out in Eastern Europe since February ... and that's China and Taiwan. During his trip through Asia, President Biden said the U-S will defend Taiwan against a Chinese invasion. We'll take a closer look at what that does to relations with China.
