Russia’s military occupation of Crimea left Ukraine little choice but to withdraw from the disputed peninsula, officials said Wednesday. President Obama responded to the annexation of Crimea with heavier economic sanctions, including against some of President Vladimir V. Putin’s closest supporters, but some in the White House remain concerned that Russia’s aggression will not stop in Crimea.

Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential candidate, and Senators Kelly Ayotte, Republican of New Hampshire, and Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, will discuss the fallout from Ukraine and the United States’ tense relationship with Russia on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Crimea will dominate the conversation on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where Antony Blinken, the White House deputy national security adviser, and Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, will give their opinions on Mr. Obama’s foreign policy decisions.

A Malaysian Airlines flight disappeared two weeks ago, but conflicting government statements and few leads have left many without answers. Representatives Patrick Meehan, Republican of Pennsylvania, and Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, will discuss possible improvements to flight technology on CNN.

Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, and Alan Diehl, a former investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board and the F.A.A., will both give their thoughts on the investigation on “Fox News Sunday.” Gov. John R. Kasich, Republican of Ohio, will also appear on the program to explain his state’s economic plan and the possibility of a 2016 presidential run.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Representative Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and Michael Chertoff, the former homeland security secretary, will answer questions about national security following the disappearance of the Air Malaysia plane. Later in the show, NBC will air an interview with former President Jimmy Carter about his new book and current events.

March Madness and brackets frenzy is in full swing, and NBC will host a debate on whether college athletes should be paid. Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, and Mark Emmert, the N.C.A.A. president, and Reggie Love, former personal assistant to President Obama and former Duke University football and basketball player, will weigh the pros and cons on Sunday.

Representatives Tom Cole, Republican of Oklahoma, and Keith Ellison, Democrat of Minnesota, will appear on a roundtable on ABC’s “This Week.” Matt Damon, the actor and co-founder of Water.org, will talk about his work to bring clean water to developing countries.

On Bloomberg’s “Political Capital,” Strobe Talbott, the former deputy secretary of state and president of the Brookings Institution, talked about the evolving situation in Ukraine on Friday. The program repeats throughout the weekend.

Two immigration activists, Elvira Arellano and Saul Arellano, will discuss their personal experiences with deportation on Univision’s “Al Punto.” Ms. Arellano will also appear on Telemundo’s “Enfoque.”

On CSPAN’s “Newsmakers,” Karen Ignagni, president of America’s Health Insurance Plans, will appear on the show, which will air at 10 a.m. Eastern.
