Get civilians to safety. moments ago in mariupol in the south, authorities accused russian fors of bombing the corridor that was designated for that area. for more, let's bring in cnn's jim sciutto. he has been tracking all of these developments. jim, this bombing of a hospital, not the first time it has happened in ukraine and not the first time we have seen the russians do this. we have seen it in syria. >> and deliberately. these attacks, both on civilians centers, schools, as you mentioned, and hospitals like this, are part of the russian war plan, part and parcel of putting the cost of th...
