happening now, another child s body found in the rubble of a ukrainian residential apartment building as the death toll from a powerful russian missile attack rises. this hour i ll ask key white house official john kirby about new u.s. and western military aid to ukraine and whether it s enough. also tonight the white house is ramping up its damage control as the crisis over classified documents intensifies. the biden team defending its delayed and incomplete release of information while accusing republicans of fake outrage. and the husband of a messing massachusetts woman is now charged with murdering his wife. we re breaking down the new evidence in this very high profile case as it takes a dramatic turn. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer and you re in the situation room. we begin with the growing carnage from russia s attack on an apartment building in ukraine, one of the single deadliest strikes of vladimir putin
