Global National: Feb. 25, 2023 | How Canada has supported, rallied for Ukraine 1 year into war

In tonight's top story: Canada has shown its support for Ukraine is as strong, if not stronger, than it was a year ago. But while the federal government has approved more than half a million applications through a specialized relocation program for Ukrainians, less than a third have actually arrived here. As Mike Drolet reports, while thousands wait to come, Canada is showing Ukraine we're ready with open arms.

New data is shining a light on the particularly gruesome impacts of Russia's attacks on health-care facilities and workers – atrocities that human rights advocates say amount to war crimes. More than 700 attacks have targeted hospitals, health facilities and staff since the Feb. 24, 2022, Russian invasion, according to data verified by five organizations working inside Ukraine. As Global's Katherine Ward explains, their report entitled Destruction and Devastation: One Year of Russia’s Assault on Ukraine’s Health Care System, chronicles the stark realities faced by health workers and patients in Ukraine, as health facilities have been hit multiple times by missiles and attacks.

When it comes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one factor influencing Canadians' attitudes toward the conflict is the ability to get reliable information. In the age of social media and online misinformation, this is easier said than done. As David Akin reports, Global News has obtained internal federal polling, showing the Prime Minister's Office is taking interest in how disinformation campaigns are impacting views of the war.

Turning to the U.S.: A rare sight in southern California, with snow covered roads in the Los Angeles region. As Reggie Cecchini tells us, flooding is now a concern with mountain snow packs increasing, which could help the drought situation.

Plus, the men and women of Ukraine’s rail system have kept trains running for the 12 months since the Russian invasion — despite being a target. As Mike Armstrong reports, the rail lines in Ukraine have in many ways become lifelines.
