Although the West has effectively unleashed an ‘economic war’ using the Russian special operation in Ukraine as an excuse to curb Russia as a trading power, by banning the supply of a wide range of goods and forcing large companies to leave the Russian market, as well as freezing up to 60% of the foreign reserves of the Russian Central Bank together, it seems that this strategy no longer leads to the desired results.
