The Effectiveness of Sanctions in Halting Russia's Invasion of Ukraine.

The US and other G7 nations have imposed a new wave of global sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, targeting hundreds of people and firms, including those helping Russia to evade existing sanctions and export controls. While some foreign policy experts question the effectiveness of the financial penalties, US officials defend the sanctions, arguing that they are not designed to work immediately. Future targets could include newly identified firms and people connected to supply chains that help Russia gain materials for the war, front companies that help Russia evade sanctions, and rogue actors from North Korea and Iran.
