Have Sanctions Against Russia Worked?

Subscribe to Federalist Radio HourSubscribe

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Stephanie Baker, senior writer at Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Businessweek, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the current status of the Ukraine-Russia war with a specific focus on whether sanctions levied on Russia have worked. While Russia is trying to position itself "stronger than it is," according to Baker, the nation is vulnerable to a financial crisis due to its increased wartime spending and the burden of sanctions.

You can find Bakers’ book, Punishing Putin: Inside The Global Economic War To Bring Down Russia, here.
