Introduction

Repeated shelling was heard early Saturday in Ukraine’s capital. This comes as Russia intensifies and broadens the war, hitting cities in the western Ukraine, closer to NATO territory. Many of these places that have suffered repeated attacks are without power and water. If that didn't make rescue efforts complicated enough, CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward talked with a woman, who lives in America, and was desperate to find her mother, who lived just outside Kyiv. She tells Anderson the story. 

And former Defense Secretary William Cohen joins Anderson to talk about U.S. and NATO efforts at supporting Ukraine.
