only on ukraine. because we have to remember about syria, we have to remember about georgia. we have to remember about poison in the streets of london and also remember about the mh-17, which was shut down from the skies. absolutely. ambassador, thank you so much for your time today. appreciate it. up until now, putin has called his deadly invasion of ukraine a, quote, special military operation. coming up next, the kremlin s response today when asked if putin will formally declare war on an upcoming symbolic day for russia. stay with us.
that process and how you preserve that information. sure. good to be with you, katy. ukraine right now is the most open crime scene in the world, and not only do you have those figures but it s on a wide geographical scale and it s hard to document these cases, because let s face it, there s a conflict going on as we speak. your correspondent is correct, i am in kyiv and the city is very, very much on edge. more bombing expected tonight. the ukrainians have an excellent record when it comes to really documenting war crimes, things like mh 17 and other atrocities committed here in ukraine, and they don t go to the international court without very solid evidence. they have experts here that have been trained over the years, so i think they will be in a very good position to present rock

so what that could look like, additional humanitarian assistance, as you were talking to wenl wendy sherman, more wea nonlethal and lethal aid that any of these nations can provide to ukraine. we ve seen this outpouring of equipment that s been flowing into ukraine, and it is being used by the ukrainian military, in some cases very effectively. the reality is this is an ongoing dynamic war that is occurring in ukraine right now. the ukrainian military will need more and more support as this drags on, katy. yes, indeed. thank you so much. still ahead the truth came out on live tv in front of potentially hundreds of millions of viewers. now the russian state tv editor who held up the no war sign, you see it right here, has been arrested and fined. we ll speak to an american in moscow about how russians reacted. why isn t the white house calling what we re seeing in ukraine war crimes? and later, remember mh-17,
