CNN
About this episode

As allegations emerge of a cover-up by Russian troops, President Biden says "major war crimes" are happening in Ukraine, with the Mayor of Mariupol saying his devastated city is “the new Auschwitz”. That, as the Western Lviv region is targeted by Russian strikes and local officials say heavy fighting is underway in Eastern Ukraine.

Oleksandra Matviichuk is a human rights lawyer and the ‘Center for Civil Liberties’ Head in Ukraine. She talks with Jake about the evidence she is collecting of alleged war crimes there. Plus, 63 House Republicans vote against reaffirming U.S. support for NATO, Putin’s daughters and Russian banks are targeted in new round of U.S. sanctions after the Bucha atrocities, and drones, phones and satellites expose Russia targeting Ukrainian civilians.

Hosted by Jake Tapper live from Lviv.
