The West is preparing new restrictions on Russia. Can sanctions stop the war?

After 2022, Russia became a country against which the largest number of sanctions in the world was introduced. Nevertheless, it still has economic opportunities in order to wage the invading war against Ukraine. For more than three years.

Currently, Western partners are discussing the introduction of a “killer” package to force Putin to sit at the negotiating table and agree to a 30-day ceasefire regime. However, are there such mechanisms and how effective they can be?

We talked about it with the chairman of the analytical center “Institute of Legislative Ideas” Tatiana Khutor.
