Russian Sanctions

Loading player...
Russia’s invading forces have bombed targets in Kyiv, Kharkiv and elsewhere in Ukraine, prompting fears of rising civilian casualties and growing questions as to whether the west could step up military, economic or other efforts to help.
Vladimir Putin has told the French president, Emmanuel Macron, that Ukrainian intransigence means “the worst is yet to come” in Ukraine, in a 90-minute call in which the Russian leader also said Moscow was aiming for “full control” of the country by diplomatic or military means.
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine escalates while the West watches meekly on hoping that sanctions will do the trick, one man knows the inside of Putin’s Russia and the power of sanctions better than most.

Joining Michael Avery is Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, also the Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign joins us to discuss the damage of these sanctions.
