How to improve Europe’s sanctions regime

Sanctions are a vital tool in targeting Russia’s war capabilities.

The EU progressively imposed sanctions against Russia following the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, and in response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the EU adopted new, sweeping sanctions against Moscow.

However, Russia has been effective at devising schemes for restoring supply chains interrupted by sanctions.

Our sanctions experts at Rasmussen Global have been tracking and shaping the EU’s evolving sanctions regime since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. In our latest paper, we outline opportunities for strengthening Europe’s sanctions regime, and propose new areas to target in order to deprive the Kremlin of the funding it needs to continue its war in Ukraine.
