POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, President Joe Biden has focused on three policies: (1) sanctioning Russia, (2) bolstering NATO’s defenses and (3) providing security assistance to Ukraine. All three policies have been calibrated to deter Russian President’s Vladimir Putin's aggression without escalating the conflict.
Biden departs for Brussels this morning, and on Thursday, he attends a trio of emergency summits — NATO, the G-7 and the European Council — where each of the three pillars of Biden’s response to the war will be under pressure.
