The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been the focus of much attention in recent years, with many discussions revolving around the defense aspect of the war. However, it is important to remember that there is also an economic war happening simultaneously. The US and EU have imposed sanctions on Russia in an effort to hinder its ability to continue the war. While some argue that these sanctions are ineffective, there is evidence suggesting otherwise.
To help navigate through the data and gain a better understanding of the economic measures being taken, Ilana Bet-El welcomed Agathe Demarais, Senior Policy Fellow for Geoeconomics at the ECFR, who is an expert on sanctions. During their discussion, they covered various topics related to economic measures, countermeasures, and provided clarity on the broader economic context of the war against Ukraine. Additionally, they explored the global economic situation and its future impact.
