Summary

New drone video obtained exclusively by CNN shows Russian military vehicles and forces on a Bucha street near civilian bodies despite Russia’s continued denials they were responsible for the carnage. Karim Asad Ahmad Khan, the International Criminal Court prosecutor, has been collecting evidence that points to possible war crimes by the Russian forces. He tells AC360 where his investigation stands and says the families of those who’ve died “deserve answers.” Plus, CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward traveled to Kharkiv to see the destruction left even as Russians continue to launch rockets at Ukraine’s second largest city. She joins Anderson Cooper back in Kyiv to discuss the level of pride, resilience and defiance she saw “in the face of that kind of bombardment.” To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
