Summary

Ukrainian President Zelensky told the world he’s “not afraid of anyone” as the Russian onslaught continues and more civilians are being killed. Ukraine has yet to agree to a Russia proposed ceasefire in five cities that would begin Tuesday at 10 a.m Moscow time. CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joins AC360 from Kyiv where Ukrainians are crowding the train station to leave their city and in some cases, their families behind. Plus, Anderson Cooper checks in again with Olena Gnes, who’s been in a Kyiv shelter for nearly two weeks with her three children while her husband is fighting the Russian forces.
