Russia launches strikes into western Ukraine

At least 35 are dead and more than 100 wounded after Russian missiles hit a Ukrainian military base near the Polish border. The cities of Mariupol and Kharkiv are in ruins, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is pleading with the US and NATO for more military and humanitarian assistance.

Plus, President Biden says the US won’t get involved in World War III as the White House warns Russia may use chemical weapons. How would NATO respond?

And, Republicans lean into the culture wars as states like Florida target abortion and racial and gender identity.

On today’s panel: CNN’s Salma Abdelaziz, Ret. Brig. General Mark Kimmitt, Julia Ioffe of Puck News, David Sanger of the New York Times, Margaret Talev of Axios, Rachael Bade of CNN and Zolan Kanno-Young of the New York Times.
