Moldova: Surviving in Putin's shadow

Amanpour

About this episode

Moldova is Ukraine's most fragile neighbor -- the poorest country in Europe, wracked by almost 30% inflation, dealing with energy shortages, and even stray missile incursions. But Moldova is not about to be pushed around: the country is holding the line against what leaders call a 'hybrid war' by Russia who are targeting their political system and their economy. Moldovan President Maia Sandu is in Washington this week, meeting Vice-President Kamala Harris and other senior officials and receiving a Madeleine Albright award for her tireless efforts to promote democracy. Christiane spoke to her about protecting democracy, and Moldova's sheer survival living in Putin's shadow.  Also on today's show: New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, whose dogged investigative reporting on Harvey Weinstein earned them a Pulitzer prize; national security expert Juliette Kayyem.
