When Russia invaded Ukraine a year ago, Moscow thought it could
intimidate Kyiv’s European allies through energy blackmail. But that
strategy has actually backfired because of America’s growing energy role
in Europe’s economy and the changing global energy landscape. POLITICO’s
Ben Lefebvre breaks down how the energy world has changed since Russia
invaded Ukraine. Plus, President Joe Biden nominated former Mastercard
CEO Ajay Banga to head the World Bank.
