Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says five missiles struck Kyiv while United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was finishing a visit to the Ukrainian capital. Olena Gnes has been hiding in a shelter with her three children in Kyiv since the start of the war while her husband is fighting on the front lines. After two months of talking to her while she’s been sheltering in a Kyiv basement, Anderson Cooper sat down with her, face-to-face, for the first time to get an update on her family and how she still lives in constant fear. Plus, Moderna is seeking emergency use authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine for children ages six months to five-years-old. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to explain why he thinks the reward outweighs the risk for parents who are hesitant about getting their children vaccinated.
