Summary
Ukraine’s Independence Day was darkened by an attack on a train station that killed at least 22 people. It’s been six months since the Russians invaded the country. Olena Gnes lives in Kyiv with her three children and her husband has been fighting on the front lines since the beginning of the invasion. She gives AC360 an update on how she’s doing and says “I’m still confident that Ukraine will win.”
Plus, the school board in Uvalde, Texas voted unanimously to fire school Police Chief Pete Arredondo, three months after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. CNN Crime and Justice Correspondent Shimon Prokupecz tells Anderson Cooper how family members are reacting about the firing.
