This event examines what role different types of sanctions can play in the West’s response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
Despite continuing international diplomatic efforts, Russia’s failure to de-escalate its military activities along Ukraine’s border means that further punitive steps are likely to be needed to prevent the outbreak of war.
Imposing ever harsher sanctions on the Kremlin and key antagonists in Moscow remains a key tool for restricting Russia’s room for manoeuvre and showing international resolve.
Speakers explore which sanctions are most effective, whom or what to target, and whether international actors can reach the consensus necessary for making sanctions as effective as possible.
