ABC News anchor David Muir will anchor a live primetime “20/20” special from the border between Ukraine and Poland on Friday night, as the nation’s news networks continue to scramble to cover Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, one of the biggest global stories to take place in recent memory.
Muir will report on the refugee emergency taking place along that border as Ukrainians seek safety amid turmoil in their country. The program will air on Friday, March 4, at 8 p.m. on Disney’s ABC.
The special, “Putin’s War: The Battle to Save Ukraine,” will examine the effects of the invasion on Ukrainians as well as repercussions on the immediate region as well as the world.
The special will also rely on other live reports from ABC News journalists stationed in the area. Ian Pannell, an ABC News senior foreign correspondent, will report from Kyiv on the battle in Ukraine.

The Purge will return to USA Network for season 2 in October.
The Purge season 2 will continue to terrify citizens everywhere on USA Network. The network confirmed The Purge Season 2 renewal, another sign of the network's continued commitment to scripted genre programming.

The first season was executive produced by James DeMonaco (the creator of the franchise and director of all but one of the films) and Thomas Kelly, who served as the showrunner. Presumably DeMonaco, ringmaster of all things Purge related, will return for The Purge Season 2.
