Are the Sanctions Against Russia Working? - 'Punishing Putin' by Stephanie Baker
🕑 Added 2024-10-28 06:30:01 +0000 UTC[PATRONS]
For two and a half years, Russia has been waging a full scale war against Ukraine. In response, the West has mobilised an economic coalition of states determined to level sanctions against the aggressor, ideally, to force it to the peace table. Clearly, Russia has not been deterred, but how much of an impact are the sanctions really having? In her book Punishing Putin, Stephanie Baker analyses the reality behind these measures, but also their sheer significance. Indeed, we have entered a new era of Russian relations with the west, and there is no going back.

Having heard and seen her speak about this issue, I would remind everyone that Russia has a larger population and a lower GDP than Mexico. Putin truly has clever ways to sell his oil, yet he is in reality small potatoes.
