Jill Dougherty | Putin's Chessboard: Russia, the United States, the World

Vladimir Putin is intent on "winning" his war against Ukraine. But his ultimate goal goes much further: to restore relations with the United States, putting Russia - and himself - back at the international table, on a par with the American president, a "decider" on issues around the world. But is the world ready for this resurgent Russia? Join us for a candid and timely discussion with Jill Dougherty, CNN's former Moscow bureau chief, as she explores Putin's motives and what it could mean for the West.
