Three years into the West's most ambitious sanctions campaign, a critical question persists: are Russian sanctions working? This episode examines the unintended consequences of EU and UK sanctions on Russia, exploring how blanket targeting and guilt-by-association tactics have ensnared peripheral figures while leaving core power structures intact.

Discover why precision matters more than performance in international sanctions regimes.
