U.S. & Western Officials: Putin Could Formally Declare War On Ukraine As Soon As May 9

U.S. and Western officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin could officially declare war on Ukraine as soon as May 9, also known as Russia’s “Victory Day” which commemorates the Russian’s defeat of the Nazis in 1945. Up until now, Russian officials have insisted that the conflict was only a “special military operation.” Retired Brig. Gen. Peter Zwack joins AC360 to discuss what Putin’s declaration means and how it could affect the war. Plus, a special grand jury has been selected in the Fulton County probe that’s investigating whether former President Trump and his allies committed any crimes in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. In an exclusive interview with AC360, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tells Anderson Cooper that 50 people have already voluntarily agreed to talk to the grand jury.
