#BritainDebrief – Is this economic war with Russia? A Debrief from Edward Fishman

By Ben Judah

Is this economic war with Russia?

As a newly-formed anti-invasion coalition forms in the international community and takes increasingly severe economic actions against Russia, Europe Center Senior Fellow Ben Judah interviewed Edward Fishman, former Russia and Europe Lead in the State Department’s Office of Economic Sanctions Policy and Implementation, for #BritainDebrief. What’s the strategic thinking behind these heavy sanctions against the Russian central bank? Do the sanctions prevent Russia from continuing the invasion?

You can watch #BritainDebrief on YouTube and as a podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
