Summary

The Mariupol City Council says a theater where hundreds were believed to be sheltering was bombed and sustained heavy damage. The bomb shelter’s entrance is blocked by rubble and the fate of those inside is still “unknown.” CNN International Security Editor Nick Paton Walsh joins AC360 to give an update on the bombing and says the intense shelling has made it hard for rescuers to help any survivors. Plus, President Biden said he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “war criminal.” In an exclusive interview, Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, tells Anderson Cooper that he has come to Ukraine to investigate any alleged Russia war crimes.
