The battle for Kyiv is underway. Explosions have been reported as close as half a mile from the president’s headquarters, a large apartment building has been hit by shelling and the Ukrainian military is defending the city’s bridges. Hear the latest from Kyiv and what it all means for Ukraine. Also, thousands of Russians have turned out for anti-war protests in more than 50 cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Demonstrations were followed quickly by arrests. We hear from some of these protesters about how the invasion of Ukraine looks to them. Also, Poland is seeing a large uptick in people crossing into the country as Ukrainians flee the Russian invasion. And, we look at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s history in Ukraine, Belarus and purported meddling in US election politics.
