Ukraine: Russians fired 84 missiles in mass assault, kills at least 14 Ukrainians

Multiple cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv, were hit by a wave of missile strikes fired by Russia that killed at least 14 Ukrainians. Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened further “harsh” responses after a bridge connecting Crimea and Russia was blown up over the weekend. Ukrainians haven’t claimed responsibility. Olena Gnes is living in Kyiv with her three children while her husband is on the frontlines fighting the Russian forces. She gives AC360 an update on how her family is doing.

Plus, newly obtained audio reveals that during a private meeting over the summer, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told two police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and a mother of a third who died after the riot, that former President Trump was unaware of the violence happening and had no idea his supporters were carrying out the attack. This contradicts the testimony given to the House Select Committee that claimed Trump watched television for hours during the insurrection. Former DC Police Officer Michael Fanone was brutally attacked by rioters on January 6 and suffered a traumatic brain injury and later, a heart attack. He’s the one who recorded the meeting with McCarthy and details the exchange in his new book, "Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul." He tells Anderson Cooper about how he even ended up at the Capitol that day. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
