Summary

U.S. officials warn that Russia’s strategy in its war on Ukraine will start to target civilians and seek a “slow annihilation” of Ukraine’s army. Ukrainian forces have been able to hold their ground while maintaining control of Kyiv and other major cities except the city of Kherson, which appears to have fallen to the Russians. Retired Gen. David Petraeus is the former Head of U.S. Central Command and was the CIA Director under President Obama. He joins AC360 to discuss the Russian military strategy and how he thinks they’ll try to take control of Kyiv. Plus, Olena Gnes has been hiding in a shelter with her three children for six days while her husband is out fighting the Russian forces. She tells Anderson Cooper about returning to her home for an hour to get more clothes and to shower and how afraid her children were to leave the shelter.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
