Russia's economy is crucial to Russian power projection and the wellbeing of the Russian population. Following an initial reactive economic shock, Russia's invasion of Ukraine precipitated a wider economic war between the West and Russia. US, European, and allied sanctions policies have been imposed to raise Russian costs and limit revenues with the goal of reducing the Kremlin's ability to finance the war. How has the war impacted Russia's domestic economy? How has Russia's economy been weaponized by the Kremlin? What are the current conditions? Have western sanctions been effective? What could be the impact of President Trump's revamping of US-Russian relations? David Edick will discuss these issues, followed by Q&A.
