European Council President: “We Must Make Sure That Putin Will Be Defeated" | Amanpour and Company

Mar 24, 2022 • President Biden is on his way to Brussels for emergency summit meetings with NATO heads of state, the European Union, and the G7. Biden plans to highlight unity among allies, as leaders discuss how to deter further aggression from Russia. It’s rare for an American president to be invited to join a gathering of EU leaders, but that won’t prevent Biden from urging European allies to accelerate their energy independence, even while some call for a pause to assess the effect of sanctions. Host and European Council President Charles Michel tells Christiane in an exclusive interview about the plan to impose intelligent sanctions that hurt Russia more than they hurt Europe, with the ultimate goal of ensuring Putin’s defeat.
