Vladimir Putin\u2019s propaganda machine is trying to turn the letter \u2018Z\u2019 into a symbol of domestic support for his war in Ukraine, but his government can\u2019t hide the fact that the world\u2019s economic war against Russia is succeeding, as evidenced by major brands like McDonalds and Coca-Cola pulling out of the country at lightning speed. President Obama\u2019s ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, visits The Late Show to talk to Stephen about the latest developments in Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, and offers his analysis of what it would mean for NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Catch Den\xe9e in her latest role, starring as Peggy Scott in, \u201cThe Gilded Age,\u201d Mondays on HBO.\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
