Opinion: Amid the Ukraine war, are sanctions against Russia working?

LA Times  

In February 2022, Russian troops mounted an invasion of Ukraine. Export controls limited the Russian military’s access to goods from sanctioning nations and attempted to reduce the shipment into Russia of certain goods such as semiconductors, which could be used in military equipment. The sanctions against Russia were merely some of the best tools available — perhaps second only to military aid to Ukraine — to respond to Russia’s violations of international law without direct military intervention. In the long term, sanctions, paired with Russia’s ongoing diversion of resources into the war effect, may sap Russian economic growth and development. Christine Abely is an assistant professor of law at New England Law Boston and the author of “The Russia Sanctions: The Economic Response to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine,” which publishes this month.
