What impact will Russian sanctions have?

Asked 6 days ago

Answer

Russian sanctions, especially on oil, are expected to significantly impact Russia's revenues and economic stability, forcing discounts and reducing exports to major buyers like China and India. Oil prices have risen, and global supply chains may be disrupted. However, some analysts argue the sanctions are largely symbolic and may not fully choke off Russian export revenues or halt military funding. The EU has also adopted a phased ban on Russian LNG imports.
