Summary

President Biden says “major war crimes” are being discovered in Ukraine as Russian forces retreat from areas around Kyiv. The White House announced new sanctions on Russia’s largest financial institutions and individuals with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, including his two adult daughters. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Steven Pifer tells Anderson Cooper if he thinks the new sanctions will impact Putin’s ability to wage war. Plus, Polish President Duda says it’s “hard to deny” genocide in Ukraine after images came to light from cities like Bucha showing civilians brutally killed. CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash brings AC360 an exclusive interview with President Duda where he talks about how his country will continue to support Ukraine.
