Future is Blue

The amount and the scale of sanctions approved in record time by the EU, the UK and the US, among other players, against Russia are unprecedented. Yet, sadly, the war in Ukraine seems far to be over. Zach Meyers, Senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, and Raymond Torres, Funcas Europe Director, discuss with Carlos Carnicero Urabayen how a more strategic approach towards sanctions can make a difference.
