Description

Ukraine and Russia's war of attrition. Connecting the dots on disarray in the intel community. And why D.C. feels a little like Minsk. 

This episode, Moscow bureau chief Charles Maynes and national security correspondent Greg Myre join Mary Louise Kelly to discuss the Trump administration's DC takeover, a spate of firings and security clearance revocations in the intelligence community, and why there's no peace deal in sight for Ukraine.
