military action. norah? >> holly williams, thank you. let's turn now to cbs's chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "face the nation," margaret brennan. all right. margaret, on the diplomatic front, those meetings that were supposed to take place, those seem to be done. i mean, is diplomacy dead? >> well, this was already a diplomatic hail mary pass. and clearly it's not going anywhere. vladimir putin had very low regard for the idea of even talking. what we know is that the war is already under way and vladimir putin may be testing just how far he can go. he is already strangling ukraine's economy. he is taking bites out of their territory. and so what happens next may determine how far he goes. what he knows is two clear things -- no country in the world is going to send troops to defend his country and that all of these sanctions hurt european economies and there's also a bite back here at home with the united states. president biden's already dealing with inflation at a

40-year high and now oil is trading at $100 a barrel. >> he brought that up several times today. pain at the pump as he said. but the president tried to make the case that the west is united against putin. any sign that that has deterred him? >> it has not deterred him. he's willing to take this pain, at least so far. and so this may be a chess game of where does that line get crossed? what we know is that the administration's argument to date has been this time it'll be different, that sanctions, yes, they're usually punitive, not preventative. this time they're so much tougher because they're going after the oligarchs and the banks that it will deter him. obviously it didn't. but we know president biden has said he's holding some sledgehammer sanctions in reserve to escalate if putin goes further. >> so many people watching to see if putin takes that move and takes the capital of kyiv. margaret brennan, thank you. all right. guilty. that was the verdict in federal court today, where the three white men who murdered ahmaud arbery were convicted of hate

crimes, killing arbery simply because of the color of his skin. cbs's janet shamlian is at the courthouse in brunswick, georgia. >> reporter: the family of ahmaud arbery jubilant outside court today, moments after a jury found the three white men who murdered him guilty of targeting the 25-year-old because of the color of his skin. gregory and travis mcmichael and william "roddie" bryan now face up to life in prison for the federal hate crimes in addition to the life sentences they received in state court after being convicted of his murder. >> what the doj did today, they was made to do today. >> come on! >> it wasn't because of what they wanted to do. they were made to do their job today. >> reporter: arbery's mother, wanda cooper-jones, angry the justice department initially agreed to a plea deal that would have let the mcmichaels serve the first part of their sentences in federal custody. the judge took it off the table after the arbery family objected, saying the conditions in federal prison are safer.

prosecutors described the men as vigilantes motivated by racial hatred. defense attorneys suggested they chased arbery only because they suspected him of a crime. attorney general merrick garland today calling the verdict a victory against hate. >> all of us have a moral obligation to combat the hatred and bigotry that motivates those crimes. >> reporter: tomorrow will be two years since arbery was killed. cooper-jones says she's relieved by the verdict but for a mom there is no healing. when are the hardest moments for you, wanda? >> waking up every morning, knowing that ahmaud is gone and he's not going to be here today like he wasn't here yesterday. >> reporter: arbery's mom told me it was difficult to sit through a second trial, to see the evidence all over again, and to hear the racist language used by the defendants. but has no regrets, she says, in the pursuit of justice for her

son. norah? >> i remember the first day we covered this story. janet shamlian, thank you. well, there's increased concern tonight for queen elizabeth. the 95-year-old monarch canceled her planned virtual engagements today as she continues to battle mild covid symptoms. the palace said the queen will keep up with light duties. prince charles and his wife, camilla, both tested positive for covid earlier this month. millions of americans from california to new england will be impacted by two major storm systems. a significant winter storm that has already dumped nearly 20 inches of snow in parts of minnesota will bring heavy snow and high winds to the great lakes tonight. a second system in the west will bring snow to california, arizona, utah and colorado through tomorrow. by thursday it will bring snow, ice and sleet to areas from dallas to memphis. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

vehicle. she was arrested uninjured. for more news download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm tom hanson, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening and thank you so much for joining us. tonight it is clear that russia's war with ukraine has started. president biden specifically calling russia's military moves an invasion and as promised the president and our european allies leveled tough new economic sanctions against russia's financial institutions and oligarchs that are in putin's inner circle. the president also warning vladimir putin that if he continues his aggression there's even more punishment that can be inflicted. not with soldiers but with more sanctions. in a ceremonial move today the russian duma, that's the

force outside the country. just as these new satellite images just in show that troop deployments are now within 12 miles from ukraine's border. well, today's action sent markets into a freefall with all three major indexes falling more than 1% and sending the s&p into correction territory. well, tonight we have two reports from inside ukraine. and in a minute we'll get analysis from our own margaret brennan. but first we're going to saturday with cbs's weijia jiang, who joins us from the white house. good evening, weijia. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. tonight the white house says that the sanctions imposed today are only the sharp edge of the full pain the u.s. is prepared to inflict. president biden emphasized that if vladimir putin escalates so will he. but he also stressed that it comes at a cost. higher energy prices for americans here at home. today president biden warned vladimir putin was laying the groundwork to launch a large-scale incursion into

ukraine. >> this is the beginning of a russian invasion of ukraine. >> reporter: putin's decision to send troops into two moscow-backed breakaway regions of ukraine while recognizing their independence has deepened the crisis. >> who in the lord's name does putin think gives him the right to declare new so-called countries on territory that belonged to his neighbors? this is a flagrant violation of international law. >> reporter: in response the administration announced sanctions against two russian financial firms and the country's sovereign debt, cutting it off from western financing plus sanctions on top putin cronies and their family members. european allies also countered. germany halted action on the nord stream 2 pipeline. a top putin project that would carry natural gas from russia. but it's unknown if the new penalties will stop putin, who has up to 190,000 troops surrounding ukraine.

and today in a potentially grim sign of things to come the russian parliament authorized the use of military force abroad. >> this is the most dangerous moment in european security for a generation. >> reporter: despite a pledge not to get into a shooting war with russia, mr. biden announced he is sending new firepower to the region. up to eight fighter jets and 32 helicopters along with approximately 800 additional u.s. troops that will beef up nato's eastern flank. at home some republicans called for tougher actions now. >> the biden administration has misjudged putin about as badly as anyone since the world misjudged hitler. i want a sanctions regime from hell next ek>> repr: president s cuff sil supplies,p alrea high .

need to beonest about that. >> reporter: tonight secretary of state antony blinken announced that he canceled a meeting with his russian counterpart that was set for thursday, and the white house said a summit between president biden and putin is certainly not an option right now. norah? >> that's significant. weijia jiang, thank you. well, tonight the world is waiting to see just how far putin's 190,000 troops will go into the country of ukraine. will he stop with the two breakaway regions or order his soldiers to the capital for a full-scale invasion? cbs's charlie d'agata is in kyiv tonight. good evening, charlie. >> reporter: good evening, norah. we're learning tonight that the russian government has ordered the evacuation of all embassy staff here in kyiv as soon as possible in yet another worrying indication of what may be a wider war on the way.

in a nationalddssolonhtyr zelenskyy issued a decre calling upit reservists fff againsthreat from russia. president putin may not have declared his intention to invade ukraine, but he's dropping plenty of hints and demands. repeating tonight that the best resolution to the crisis is for ukraine to drop its aims to join nato and international recognition that crimea is part of russia. ukrainians agree that the russian invasion is already under way. with the russian parliament giving putin the green light to use military force outside the country, the fighting in the east could trigger a full-scale invasion. the mood in the capital is more subdued than normal tonight. >> all the people around me, they're worried. they're like oh, my god, we're going to die or something.

but i'm okay. >> reporter: tonight ukrainians are staring down the barrel of a gun and the only hope they have is that new sanctions will stop vladimir putin from pulling the trigger, a strategy that has not worked so far. norah? >> charlie d'agata, well said. thank you. well, we go now to the front lines in eastern ukraine, where cbs's holly williams traveled with ukrainian troops. and as soon as they approached the area, there was heavy artillery fire just a few hundred yards away. >> reporter: today as we approach the front line there was heavy artillery fire. we estimate just a few hundred yards away. [ explosions ] those actually sound quite close now. and there have been maybe eight or nine at this point. >> reporter: these ukrainian soldiers told us it was

russian-backed separatists firing on their frontline positions. ukraine's been fighting a war against russian-backed separatists for nearly eight years. these muddy trenches now carve up this country. the ukrainia military on one side armed by the u.s. and fighters in breakaway regions now recognized by russia on the other. in recent days there's been an escalation in the attacks, some hitting civilian areas, sending people into their basements for shelter. "there's no electricity, no cell phone signal, and nobody cares about us," said this elderly lady. and today the ukrainians buried two of their fallen soldiers, killed in a conflict that's torn this country apart. u.s. officials say moscow is arming the separatists and there are fears that the surge in fighting could be used by russia a a justification for its own military action. norah? >> holly williams, thank you.

>>e kind bonded overbout of his hobbies, cryptocurrency investing, and he suggested she too could invest. >> i'm like i've never invested in my life, i don't know anything about cryptocurrency ether. so i was very skeptical. >> reporter: not to worry, he said in a text, this is my field. i can be your teacher. first he told her to create an account on a legitimate site, crypto.com. then he sent her a link and told her to transfer money there to what he said was a cr cryptocurrency exchange platform. she started small but says soon she was investing larger amounts. 26,000, 49,000, $73,000. >> he just kept saying things like look at this money that can help support your family. obviously, that's what i wanted to do. >> reporter: when her account began showing profits she suggested to her father that he invest too. so he did. by december their accounts

showed a combined balance of $1.2 million and hutchinson decided it was time to cash out. that's when the site told her before she could withdraw her money she'd have to pay a hefty tax bill of roughly $380,000. >> that's when i was like something's not right. >> reporter: it wasn't. the cryptocurrency investments weren't real. all her and her father's fands had gone into the scammers' pockets. in all, $390,000 stolen. >> i messed upyfe. essed up mys life. >> she told me that it was all a scam. >> reporter: hutchinson's father melvin. >> and all i could do was just hug her and tell her it's okay. it's okay. and it was hard. it was hard because we lost everything. >> reporter: they're not alone. a new report finds just in 2021 cryptocurrency scam victims lost more than $7.7 billion. >> anybody that's really trying

hard to get you to invest in cryptocurrency has a motive. >> reporter: rich sanders investigates cryptocurrency scams as co-founder of company cipherblade. we asked him to look at nicole hutchinson's transactions to see how she was scammed. >> this does seem to be what's commonly referred to as a pig butchering scam. >> reporter: that's right. it's called a pig butchering scam. where scammers patiently work their victims before moving in for the kill. >> the name really comes from the fattening up before the slaughter. >> reporter: in hutchinson's case he found her money started in those legitimate cryptocurrency accounts. but the links the crooks told her to transfer the money to were actually digital wallets belonging to the scammers. and his firm traced other money going to those fake addresses too. likely, he says, from other victims. >> it is easily a 10-plus million figure amount. consvatively they've scammed at least $10 million in your estimation. >> absolutely. >> reporter: money he says likely went to an organized ring

of scammers operating out of asia, who prey on inexperienced victims. >> i think he really played off that i was naive and not knowing anything about crypto and taking that and running with it. >> reporter: hutchinson and her father are now living in his rv. >> i just hope others don't have to fall for it. so if me sharing this story helps that, then i'm so grateful. >> reporter: as for the scammer, her father says -- >> i hope that there is some justice in life and he reaps his. >> we don't know who the scammer or scammers were, of course. and that legitimate site crypto.com warns consumers to take steps to try to be sure that any accounts they're moving money into are legitimate. now, the company says it takes a proactive approach to threats and immediately takes down any wallets online linked to a scam. >> anna werner reporting. the "overnight news" is back in two minutes.
