  • The EU’s sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine will build over time and will have a growing long-term impact on Moscow’s economy, Bloomberg report. “These effects will further intensify over time, as the measures have a structural, long-term impact on Russia’s budget, financial markets, foreign investment and its industrial and technological base,” according to an impact assessment prepared by the European Commission seen by Bloomberg. The sanctions have “significantly degraded Russia’s industrial and technological capacity,” according to the assessment.
