On August 16 at 11:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club hosted a discussion on the topic “Sanctions Against Russia – From Here to Eternity?”
Over the past 500 years in history, there have been many cases of various economic restrictions against Russia. Another such period began in 2012, when the US Congress passed the “Magnitsky Act”. After Crimea’s reunification with Russia and the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, there has been a significant escalation of anti-Russian sanctions by the US, EU and other countries of the “collective West”. Since February 2022, they have been using almost all known instruments of unilateral restrictive measures against Russia.
How long will the sanctions war last? What are the prospects for increasing pressure on Russia and its partners? What coercive measures and secondary sanctions could there be in the future? How can they be resisted in today’s conditions? The discussion participants addressed these and other questions.
