Summary
This week on "Face the Nation," in an exclusive interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russian actions against Ukraine constitute genocide, and that Ukraine is being "destroyed and exterminated" by Russian forces. Fiona Hill, the former senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council during the Trump administration, discusses Russia's actions in Ukraine and how Vladimir Putin could tighten his grip on power. Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of New York says the committee has "no comprehensive, fine-grained portrait of what was going on" during a seven-hour gap in White House phone logs on January 6. H.R. McMaster, former national security adviser in the Trump administration and a CBS News contributor, says Russia is redistributing its forces inside Ukraine because of its failure to quickly achieve its objectives. New York Mayor Eric Adams says the city needs more help from the federal government to keep guns off the streets.
