Missile strikes, drone attacks, and another coup

Russian forces conducted a massive drone and missile strike on Kyiv at the crack of dawn, the largest attack since spring, officials say. Remarkably, all 28 cruise missiles were intercepted, though two people were killed by falling debris. But perhaps more significant, a drone attack inside Russia: multiple regions were targeted, across almost a thousand kilometers. At its core, the defense of Ukraine had been framed by President Biden as a defense of democracy around the world, including Africa, where a group of military officers seized power in Gabon, in what appears to be the latest in a string of coups across the continent. Fiona Hill, a former deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and a veteran Russia-watcher, joins Christiane to explore what this all means.
