Technology Related Sanctions


ü Russia-wide restrictions to choke off Russia’s import of technological goods critical to a diversified economy and Putin’s ability to project power.

Banking Sanctions


Sweeping financial sanctions and stringent export controls are expected to impact Russia’s economy, financial system, and access to cutting-edge technology. The sanctions measures impose severe costs on Russia’s largest financial institutions and will further isolate Russia from the global financial system.
