Major Garrett, a senior foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, joins 'Face the Nation' to discuss the latest developments on Ukraine and the Russia-Ukraine war.
House Oversight Committee Democrats are releasing photos of Jeffrey Epstein's estate, which has been under investigation since 2019. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans failed to advance competing healthcare bills, further fueling partisan divisions in Washington.
The House passed a bill aimed at providing billions of dollars in emergency funding for Ukraine, while the Senate is expected to vote on its own version later this week.
According to Garrett, if the US doesn't provide significant financial support to Ukraine, there's a growing risk that Russia could capture Kiev and use it as a bargaining chip.
Meanwhile, a group of House Democrats are pushing to release previously withheld documents from the Trump administration regarding Ukraine, which they claim were withheld in an attempt to intimidate investigators.
Garrett also highlighted the growing issue of cyber warfare between the US and Russia. "The Russians have become much more sophisticated at using the internet and other forms of cyber warfare," he said. "We're seeing this all over the world, from hacking into election systems to spreading disinformation."
In his assessment of the situation in Ukraine, Garrett is worried about what could happen if the conflict escalates further.
"I think it's a matter of time before we see some kind of escalation," he warned. "The Russians are playing with fire here, and I'm not sure they realize the risks."
