The popular narrative on sanctions is that they don't work. That's wrong. Sanctions are economic warfare and - while they aren't perfect - they're infinitely preferable to actual war. This series of The Brookings Institution videos discusses lessons we need to learn from Russia sanctions...

We're coming from an era of maximum globalization. Sanctions are rules that roll back this globalization and are thus subject to lots of interference from Western companies. Western governments need to shut down this lobbying. They failed to do that properly on Russia sanctions.

There's something much bigger at play than just Russia's terrible invasion of Ukraine. Sanctions are supposed to deter other aggressors - think of China and Taiwan. Sanctions can be highly effective, but we need to urgently learn the right lessons from our experience on Russia...

@BrookingsInst @H_Bouwmeester Nederlandse export naar RU via 3de landen zou ook wel wat meer onder de aandacht mogen.. Ook wij maken ons schuldig, net als de rest van de EU. (ik vroeg me al af of @robin_j_brooks ook van ons land de data had, hierbij dus)

@BrookingsInst All I want from you Robin is an example of sanctions on commodities actually working (over an extended period) just ONE time in history. Price caps & trade controls have been tried MANY times going all the way back to Rome's Diocletian. I'm looking for ONE case you can point to.

@BrookingsInst this is the type of thinking that is destroying the west, and the US dolar.

@BrookingsInst Interestingly, you have provided many arguments for why sanctions in Russia have yet to accomplish any formulated objectives. Looking at the data of previous sanction regimes, I find little confidence in their effectiveness in bringing about stated policy objectives.

Russian Security Council Secretary Patrushev on sanctions against Russia: they don't work and are so good for us but please don't introduce new ones. "We're now at the 21st package of sanctions. Well, the 20th - I don’t know. It’s time they calmed down. They can see the sanctions aren’t producing results. And what’s more, I believe it’s actually a good thing that these sanctions exist. We are achieving political, economic, technological and other forms of independence."

President Trump said on Sunday he is willing to impose sanctions on Russia, but Europe has to act in a way that is commensurate with the United States. "Europe is buying oil from Russia. I don't want them to buy oil," Trump said. "The sanctions that they're putting on are not tough enough, and I'm willing to do sanctions, but they're going to have to toughen up."

Of course, Trump will put massive sanctions relief on the table to get nuclear concessions - that's how sanctions are supposed to work. They are not leverage if they are used as a permanent punishment, even though that is what some hoped they would become...

Former U.S. Army and Defense Secretary, Mark Esper: We should increase both economic and military pressure on Russia. We should provide Ukraine weapons they need, allow them to strike deep into Russia, push war onto Russian territory, and put greater pressure on Putin at home. We need to seal holes in sanctions regime, restore lifted sanctions on Russian energy, and impose additional sanctions on Russia. On the military side, we should provide Ukraine with weapons they need, including long-range weapons. And not just provide those weapons, but also give them the ability to strike deep into Russia.

Bernie Sanders has now officially joined AOCIA in adopting the most deranged and insane position of all: He admits it's a genocide, but he still vows to forever arm and fund it, give them "defensive arms" which includes all the tanks and jets and missile systems, while also opposing sanctions. That's utterly insane. That's completely deranged. Bernie Sanders and AOCIA both support a full total arms embargo and sanctions on Russia, but for a regime they now have been forced to admit is committing genocide with US arms and funds, they won't even support an arms embargo and sanctions. That's like saying: The Nazis are doing the Holocaust and that's bad, but we can't impose an arms embargo and sanctions on them, that's crazy. No, we need to just temporarily pause less than 1% of "offensive arms" and give them all the "defensive arms" they need to continue the Holocaust and also if you even suggest imposing economic sanctions on Nazi Germany you're clearly deranged.

I spoke with Ben Swann on America's obsession with economic sanctions: "We've employed sanctions with reckless abandon from one administration to another. Sanctions are a bipartisan obsession. Sanctions have a long, and almost perfect record of failure."

US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent: "President Trump has instructed me to rethink the sanctions regime. For a long time, we'd have what I would call 'lazy sanctions.' We are going for the maximum impact sanctions now. It's a new sanctions regime. We come in, we hit them hard, we hit them fast, we hit them heavy. And that's what we are doing with Iran. And President Trump has instructed me that if we need to, we will go to a 10 with sanctions to bring president Putin to the table. But I'm optimistic that he will be able to get him to the table without increasing the sanctions. But all options are on the table to increase and go to maximum energy sanctions on Russia if needed."

The new US sanctions are an important sign of strength. Together with our 19th package of sanctions, we are depriving Russia of the means to fund this war. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

‼️ZELENSKYY: Unfortunately, there's another American decision to ease oil sanctions on Russia. Every dollar from oil only enables Russia to keep fighting. But our long-range sanctions continue to work. “A separate issue: sanctions against Russia for this war, ones that should push Russia toward real diplomacy. Unfortunately, there's another American decision to ease oil sanctions. There will be no real benefit from this for diplomacy. Every dollar from oil only enables Russia to keep fighting. But even with this money, they still won't solve the problem. Our long-range sanctions continue to work. I'm grateful to all our warriors for their precision” - Ukrainian President on Sunday, April 19th, 2026.

Moscow residents were asked about the new sanctions announced by President Trump and whether they pose a threat to Russia. According to them, Russia is the richest country in the world - so rich, they say, people should be born as pensioners already. They also claim that Russia produces everything on its own, so the sanctions won’t affect the country at all. Well, then, more sanctions on Russia!

Finland's Defense Minister, Hakkanen, is confident that with a little more effort, he will defeat Russia with the help of Ukrainians and sanctions. 'Russia is showing no willingness for peace. They are continuing the war, even though their economy has already started to suffer seriously. I believe that now is a crucial moment - to continue supporting Ukraine even more actively and to show Putin that the West will not back down. It is also necessary to tighten sanctions against Russia and its economy, as they are already experiencing difficulties. If we introduce even more stringent sanctions, it will send a clear signal: the war needs to end now.' - SK

Commodity market guru Jeff Currie on how China benefits from sanctions: "The biggest benefactor of sanctions on Iran or Russia is China... China's teapot refineries can't function without discounted, sanctioned oil... You need the sanctions to create the discount."

"Europe would need a lot a lot of reassurance before we would even consider lifting sanctions [on Russia]". The EU's Sanctions Envoy, David O'Sullivan says, "the U.S. would be fully free to lift its sanctions. We would sincerely hope they would not, because the great strength of the coalition has come through our unity and the collective impact."

German Foreign Minister Wadephul: We also see that when the prices for oil and gas rise, this also fills Russia’s war chest. That is why Germany and the European Union stand firmly behind the energy sanctions against Russia, and we want to further reduce Russia’s revenues with additional measures. Now is definitely the wrong path to loosen sanctions.
