"Ally China has called for a comprehensive ceasefire and a 12 point peace plan. He says he'll meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping, but didn't elaborate on exactly when. President Putin has shown no appetite for peace. Either because he truly believes he can still win or he's in so deep, there's no lean back now. At a CBS News correspondent Charlie dagger, the U.S. is pledging more support for Ukraine, the Biden administration also announcing a new round of sanctions against Russia, including higher tariffs on Russian imports and punishing companies that helped Moscow evade the prior sanctions. Those sanctions could work to tip the war in Ukraine's favor, that according to Dow Jones market watch columnist, Paul brandis. The Russian economy has been so heavily dependent on oil and gas revenues that has dried up to a large extent considering that Western Europe has a diversified away from Russia, which is really been one of the big stories of this war. That has really deprived the Kremlin of a lot of the money that it needs, frankly, to finance the war. A coalition of news organizations wants House speaker Kevin McCarthy to share thousands of hours of security footage from January 6th, request coming after Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed that he had been given exclusive access to about 44,000 hours of video from the insurrection, the news outlets on record, The Associated Press, Scripps news, NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Justice clarence Thomas didn't finish paying off his law school debt until his third year sitting on the bench.

Yuri sack, an adviser to Ukraine's minister of defense as they hope this February 24th, and this will be the only ever anniversary of this unprovoked aggression against our country. Leaders from around the world, including those in the U.S., think that may be a bit too optimistic. We are confident that this is possible. We hope our allies share this confidence with us.

One hope sort of coming out of this is that it's okay to seek help.

How did the Ukrainians do it and how have they managed to stay in the fight for this long? A little earlier, CBS News correspondent Charlie dagger joined us from Kyiv to think back to one year ago. It was extraordinary to witness because I was here. We were here when that unfolded and the very next day when they were handing out these weapons at sports centers and along intersections, it was real and it really was happening and they were putting up barricades and we had civilians who were loading up molotov cocktails. And yes, it was not going to be enough clearly. That was not going to be enough to stop one of the most powerful militaries in the world, but we spoke to the defense secretary. Alexei resnikoff. And I put that question to that the civilian soldiers wouldn't be enough. He said, it wasn't just that. We had spotters. We had people pinning when Russian tanks were coming down the street. And the soldiers that they did have, they put them in the right places. There was a place hostile, which is an airport. Just a 25 minute drive outside of the capital. And we went there afterward. And what happened there was extraordinary. The elite Russian pirate troopers were trying to establish that as an air bridge in order to take over the city itself, and they were stopped. Long enough for the full soldiers to go in there to an actual battalion strength to go in there and to turn the Russian forces back. And we've seen these horrific images in places like butcha and urban. These are suburbs of Ukraine that were taken over for a time, but the Ukrainian forces were able to push them back. Do you remember the 40 mile convoy of death? Everybody was expecting what's going to happen there. I myself was expecting, not necessarily that there was going to be a sort of massacre in the streets of key, but it would be under siege that it might fall within 72 to 96 hours as western intelligence and greeting U.S. intelligence was predicting. It just didn't happen. And in the time it took to get the western supplied weapons, the bigger weapons in there, it turned the tide against Russian forces. It has been extraordinary to witness. On the front line at this point, a lot of the people fighting for Russia are conscripts, the Ukrainians to your point are literally fighting for life and death. Where does the fighting stand now? Well, we went out to the front lines east of bakhmut and shut down their places just getting pummeled as you seen along curse on outside of our tea itself. Anything within Russian artillery range is getting hit constantly. And when we went to the place just northeast of Bach moon, their genuinely wasn't a 32nd period where there wasn't an explosion, either incoming or outgoing. And I know there's been a lot of reporting and Ukrainian forces have been talking about artillery. That's really what they need right now. Mostly it's ammunition because they are burning through this ammunition. Far quicker than the United States or any of America's allies or Ukraine's allies can provide it. And we can't get here quickly enough. So it really is an artillery war. In some cases, we talk about trench warfare because French warfare when you see it up close is small arms fire. It's grenades. It really is a matter of a couple hundred yards either way in either direction. So we talk about the fight that has stagnated or stable front lines. That kind of suggests that nothing's going on. No, the opposite is true. They're actually fighting for every inch in their fighting constantly. So along those battle lines, this is a very active and dynamic fight that's going on.
