Summary

Ukrainian forces appear to have retaken territory east of Kyiv as intense combat continues north of the capital in Irpin. Mariupol has been one of the most devastated cities with videos showing deserted, debris-filled streets, blown-out cars and destroyed buildings. Yuliia Karpenko and her family finally decided to flee after their apartment building was hit. She tells Anderson Cooper her home "has burned down so badly" and there's "nothing left." Plus, Ukraine tells the U.S. it needs 500 Javelin anti-tank missiles and 500 Stringer anti-aircraft missiles per day. Retired Gen. David Petraeus is the former Head of U.S. Central Command and was the director of the CIA under President Obama. He joins AC360 to discuss how Ukraine can keep control of their land and says they are "fighting to the last soldier."Guests: Yuliia Karpenko Gen. David Petraeus (Ret.)
