Russian forces have begun to pull back from some areas around Ukraine, including in the region surrounding Kyiv.

Ukrainian prosecutors are investigating possible Russian war crimes revealed as troops retreat from the towns surrounding Kyiv. Moscow continues to deny the military is killing civilians.

Atlanta lawyer Tetiana Lendiel moved from Ukraine in 2012, and she joined “Morning Edition” to share what she was hearing from friends and family on the ground in Ukraine.
