families grateful to be helped. cecilia vega live at the white house. the war in ukraine tonight. and after those dire warnings from president zelenskyy, tonight, russia launching a deadly attack on a train station on ukraine s independence day. tonight, authorities now believe more than 20 people have been killed. ian pannell with late reporting from kyiv. tonight, abc news, the countdown to the midterms and the eye-opening results from the primaries overnight. what a race in new york state, a congressional state, might reveal about abortion rights and its key role as we approach the midterms. the democrat pat ryan beating the republican, a major upset, and he focused on a woman s right to decide. in uvalde, texas, the school board determining right now the fate of embattled school police chief pete arredondo. will he keep his job or will he be fired? john quinones standing by. the first lady dr. jill biden and her rebound case of covid tonight, after taking paxlovid
