Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the fight to save democracy at home and abroad leading up to the moment in Washington, DC, when the House Select Committee on January 6th met to hold two aides to the former president in contempt of Congress. But first, Joy and her panel discuss the battle to defend democracy that continues in Ukraine, five weeks into Vladimir Putin's invasion. Ukraine's counteroffensive continues to hold the line, amid fresh concerns about the Russian dictator's endgame. There is new evidence of Russian brutality on the outskirts of Kyiv, even as a senior U.S. Defense official said Russia is making no progress in its advance on the capital. A top Ukrainian official says Russia is aiming to split the country in two, like North and South Korea. Yet in the north, Ukrainian forces appear to have notched a significant victory on Monday.
