Roundtable on Sanctions
January 20, 2023
Following Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, The US, EU, and their partners imposed severe sanctions on the Russian economy. Sanctions of this scale and scope are unprecedented in recent history, and have major potential implications not just for the course of the war in Ukraine, but also for Russia's broader geopolitical position.
CSIS hosted a wide-ranging conversation on this topic moderated by Max Bergmann, and featuring CSIS experts Dr. Maria Snegovaya and Ben Cahill. Additionally, we will be joined by Dr. Sergey Aleksashenko, a Russian economist and Member of the Board of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom, and the Board of the Free Russia Foundation.
To Dr. Sergey Aleksashenko,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mathias Gjesdal Hammer, and I’m a foreign affairs journalist in Klassekampen, one of Norway’s largest newspapers. I’m just getting in touch because I’m writing a longer article on the state of the Russian economy, and the impact sanctions have or haven’t had. Given your extensive expertise and research on these questions, I’m wondering whether you might have time for a 20 minute interview about these questions at some point early next week?
All the best,
Mathias Gjesdal Hammer
