How will the new powers of authorities in Russia and the United States affect bilateral relations? To what extent are the assets in Russia and the US comparable? What are the prospects for further mutual expansion of confiscation measures? Which countries that have initiated anti-Russia sanctions can replicate the American experience? And what might the consolidation of these economic barriers in production and trade result in? Participants in this discussion addressed these and other related questions.
